The Corner House in Mid Sussex

Always brilliant here…. Jacket Potatoes and the sandwiches are the best in Sussex 👏👏 Always happy staff and smiling!!!

Made a mistake by not complaining at the time. First up good coffee. However, sausage bap an sausage baguette awful. Worse was the supposed side of hash browns. Half cold lidl offering. For the money I can only say at least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask. Never again, there are much better places in the area

Passing through Cuckfield we decided to pop in for lunch. As we arrived a staff member was taking orders from someone sitting outside so we found an empty seat and sat down. Another staff member came out and took another order from a customer, acknowledged us, and then went back in. 10 minutes later and a couple of walk in customers and still no menu or a courtesy ‘You have to order inside’ from any of them. Decided we obviously wasn’t welcome and left. If you don’t do table service, at least let your customers know, maybe while you are doing table service and special orders for other customers?

Lorraine and her team have been brilliant throughout lockdown and we can always guarantee a good cup of coffee or hot chocolate. The sandwiches are excellent and generously filled. When open again fully we will be stopping by for a cooked breakfast, which I have had and I definitely recommend it.

Lovely little spot in the heart of Cuckfield! I ordered the Bacon Brie and Cranberry Panini, was truly one of the best I’ve ever had ! Also very friendly and helpful staff !!

Popped in for a bite to eat on a cold Sunday, staff were sat on the floor when we turned up. No welcome and a smile certainly went amiss. Was undecided what to have between a bacon and egg roll and a panini, picked the panini and heard the chef say ‘oh for goodness sake I’ve put an egg on’ - hardly the world’s biggest issue. No pleases or thankyous from the staff- felt like they were doing us a favour by being open... Oh, the food was alright.

Stopped off for a coffee and scone. Firstly the coffee, which was tasteless, turned up quite some time after ordering in a disposable cup, even though I said I was eating outside, so it wasn’t a takeaway. Went back in a few minutes later to remind them I had ordered a scone as well. Served on a disposable plate and a plastic knife with one satchel of butter. Aren’t we supposed to be trying to save the planet?

I have randomly found this cafe while cycling and it was a great discovery. The staff was very friendly, I had a very good sandwich freshly made. They had few different options for bread and other ingredients. I will definitely stop here again.

A traditional, simple cafe where there is a friendly welcome and perfectly acceptable cafe style food and drinks at a reasonable price. My friend and our babies were made to feel welcome and there were highchairs readily available so that they could sit whilst we ate and drank! I had come from Tom’s Cafe down the road, where it had been made clear that our babies were not welcome to sit if they weren’t eating, so this was a breathe of fresh air.

You wouldn't go here for much more than a snack or a cup of tea but, what they do, they do well. Nice breakfast!

A good Sunday morning stop for breakfast. Food arrived piping hot (full English), with a very friendly waitress checking all was well, sauces required etc. A reasonable flat white coffee. Quick, friendly and efficient service-and plenty of customers by 10.30am!

We were staying in Cuckfield and The Corner House was recommended as a good place to come for breakfast. I’m delighted that we followed the recommendation as it is an excellent little cafe. Service was outstanding, fast and friendly and the food was really tasty and exceptionally good value!!

My partner and I have visited this cafe on numerous occasions and have always had a positive experience but on this occasion I was seriously annoyed and we won’t be returning. We visited for a late breakfast and only one table left on the inside we sat at this table. It was freezing - the fan was on full blast and later discovered that the air con was also on full blast and it was ice cold. We initially asked politely if we could turn the fan down before realising it was coming from the air con and politely asked if that could be turned down... not off. To give you an idea, the menus and napkins on the table were blowing. The couple on the table next to us also expressed how cold it was. A few minutes later nothing happened, but another lady came round the corner and in a loud and quite aggressive manner in a display in front of all customers stated “the air con is for the benefit for all the customers so if you’re cold you can go outside”. I tried to explain that it was ice cold and just turning it down would be ok before she cut me off explaining that that they wouldn’t be changing it. This was a pretty chilly drizzly day but being outside was honestly warmer than sitting underneath that air con. Had she politely explained and apologised this would have been fine but it was her bad attitude that we had the problem with. We should have left there and then but to be honest were so in shock at this lack of service and too hungry we stayed but we definitely won’t be returning after our latest experience.

Popped in for cake with my daughter and was told to wait for table service. They then served every customer after us at the counter and ignored us. Left after 10 minutes. Outside seating isn’t much fun with all the traffic on the roundabout.

My first visit to Cuckfield for years and what better than to spend a hour with a mate drinking good coffee and food. A nice cheery welcome from Gemma . Will make a point of visiting again with my other half (now that I have managed to get a local parking disc! Highly recommended and worth a visit.

We came to visit my elderly mother who lives in Hayward’s Heath. This is the ideal stop for breakfast. We both had poached eggs on toast which were perfectly cooked. Staff were friendly and helpful. They left the front door open, which I’m not too keen on in winter!

Spending a week with family in tylers green me and my wife had a stroll into cuckfield were we came across the corner house caffe so desided to stop and have a drink and a sandwich the staff were very polite and very helpfull the inside was very clean and the food was very fresh and wholesome and tasted great hope to visit again

Bit odd that at 11:00am there were no scones – “not been made yet” of any type, sweet or savoury, as advertised on the table. OK, I’ll have a cake, “Sorry don’t really have any cakes”. So, instead we had a bit of lemon tray bake. Coffee was OK, as was the tea. Noticed that others were having a breakfast or eggs bacon and toast which looked very appetising. So, all pretty average, staff were pleasant and service prompt.

Lovely little place for lunch, friendly staff and reasonably priced food. I was very happy was the side salad that was given with the panni.

The Cuckfield Corner House Cafe, is a very pleasant mixture of sandwich’s/quiche/sausage rolls/ cakes etc to go or you can take advantage of their seated area to eat in.

Grabbed a takeaway hot chocolate from here whilst watching the Veteran Car Run - was very tasty and I am very fussy about hot chocolate!

As a Cuckfield resident I have tried hard to like this place and have had coffee and breakfast here many times. I have now thrown in the towel. The surly service just keeps getting worse and, oddly, so does the quality of the coffee. That's if for me. Won't be back.

I was looking for where I lived 60 years ago. I found the house. Ran out of mobile battery so stopped to take a coffee and battery topup. Very relaxing cafe. Nice view down along the street.

We've been a few times to the Corner House when visiting my mother in the village where I grew up. The Corner House serves both hot and cold food, has some fab home-made cakes (flapjacks in particular are a must) and makes a decent cup of coffee.

Passed here several times but never stopped so when we were visiting Cuckfield we decided to give this little cafe a try. Its always looked inviting from the outside with its verand and always people sitting there so what could go wrong? Well, to be fair nothing went wrong at all but all the same we were left feeling a bit let down. There wasn't a great deal to choose from in terms of cakes as there only seemed to be tray bakes and some rather nice looking rock cakes which were OK I suppose but didn't quite hit the spot. One of the servers was a bit scary but polite and attentive, the coffee was OK but I ended up wishing I'd ordered a full English like the one I saw on the next table and wished the place had been what I had expected and not what is was. Hey, don't let this deter the person who wants a lunch or a sandwich as they seemed to be popular and the visitors were clearly well known. But if its a country cream tea sort of place I don't think it is. Would I go back? Yes, but I'd be better prepared.

Mi hija y yo llamé a almorzar hace poco visitando Cuckfield. Teníamos un atún y queso tostado y un sandwich de salmón ahumado y crema de queso en pan granary. Ambos estaban bastante bien, pero el relleno era tan generoso y mullidos que era difícil comer de todo y ninguno de nosotros podía comer mucho más tarde para la cena en casa. Sin embargo, el personal era agradable y servicial, y el interior era atractivo. También hay mesas afuera ligeramente elevada por encima de la carretera.

Fabulous cafe, good food, good service, good choice on menu, good for breakfast don't bother going anywhere else

Visitamos aquí dos veces en los últimos 5 semanas cuando teniendo dentista especialista miembro de la familia cerca. 1 tiempo de la calle era para el café sólo y tenía una bienvenida muy amable, buen servicio y bien de café. Decidimos en nuestra próxima visita...

Muy adecuado para niños, un montón de libros y juguetes tronas. Bowl de perro de agua fuera era muy apreciado, y el precio era razonable.

Have visited many times and always enjoyed the food and the cheerful staff who always make you feel welcome

Popped in here for a drink after a walk around village and ended up having sandwiches and paninis. The food was excellent and the Coronation Chicken sandwich was to die for! Very reasonably priced too.

Popped into Cuckfield to run some errands. Could resist a jacket potato - the best around here and a frothy coffee. Always incredibly friendly and helpful. Well done!

Popped in here for a little lunch with the family. Menu was good, typical cafe/sandwich shop stuff. The ladies working there were really friendly, service was nice and quick and everything was made fresh. Portions were big, I ended up with about a foot of prawn Mayo baguette, so no complaints there! Hot chocolate was also particularly tasty. Not a big place, but if you get a seat it's great to have a nice lunch as watch the village go by

Dropped into the café after a walk around the countryside surrounding Cuckfield. Had tea, coffee and a couple of slices of cake (blackberry and apple, chocolate fridge)Both drinks and cakes were really nice; the latter in particular were delicious and made in-house at that! We sat inside although the weather was sunny; the café has tables outside at the front just off the pavement by the mini roundabout in the centre of the villageThere are a couple of other places nearby but we haven't visited to date so can't comment whether The Corner House is the best. Certainly all good there however and worth patronising

We have eaten here many times & always found the staff to be friendly, polite and professional.The Corner House breakfast is quite simply delicious, the bacon and sausage are always full of flavour & the portions are really good. My daughters love the bacon & egg sandwiches & sausage sandwiches. The food is always fresh & served hot with very little waiting time. It is definitely an asset to Cuckfield!

Visited today and had a great lunch - served by the chef with aplomb! Nothing was too much trouble and felt to be a valued customer.We visited today slightly late for lunch but we ordered toasted sandwiches and a quiche with salad. For me the best bit was the chef asked if I wanted raw onion with my salad which for me was great as I really cannot abide raw onion - my preference I know but fantastic to be asked!We have visited in the past and found the service and the cooked breakfasts to be excellent. Today as it was later we went for sandwiches/salad and they did not disappoint.We drank coffee which was good the cappuccino was exactly as required 1/3 coffee, 1/3 milk and 1/3 froth with chocolate.Thank you all will definitely be back.

Excellent full English but had quite a long wait. There were quite a few members of the building trade in when we visited.

Morning coffee/hot chocolate and tea cakes ... food OK ish but the loud and constant conversation of personal experiences and preferences from behind the counter was seriously unwelcome (enough said).

I normally go here during my lunch breaks and have always found the food consistently good and well presented. Therefore I was really disappointed on Sunday when I took my family there for breakfast!There was a long wait for the order to be taken and I had to return my poached eggs as they were like rubber balls, after waiting for ages the chef appeared to apologise for the wait. When they finally arrived they were still not good. When we paid the bill the card reader was not working but there hd been no sign to say it was out of order. Very trustingly they said we could pay later in te week, however we popped to the cash dispenser and paid up.I do not understand how different my experience was compared to a week day.

I went for the first time to the corner cafe on Wednesday for a quick lunch with a friend and I ordered a Mexican omelette which came with a very nice salad. The omelette was cooked very well with peppers, sweet corn and onion. My friend ordered a baked potato in its jacket and this also was served with a nice fresh salad.The waitress was very attentive and came back with salad dressings and asked if there was anything else we needed.This is not a fine dining restaurant but if you just want a quick lunch with friends this is definitely the place to consider. The side salad was much better than I expected with some nice freshly grated carrot and sweet corn as well as the usual lettuce tomato, cucumber and cress and there was plenty of it. I also had a mug of very well made tea my friend had a coffee. It was more than sufficient for lunch.I would definitely go back again for lunch.

Excited to find such a welcoming place, food was spot on, with probably one of the best omelettes in a long while with loads of filling, had run out of one choice but the smoked salmon and cream cheese was a good supplement. Coffee a touch weak but that is a matter of taste. Good value for four.

Coffee good. Very nice big salad. Scrambled eggs okay. Nice interior and small terrace. Service bit unpersonal but polite.

Just eaten a lovely jacket potato with brie and bacon which was nice but the cappuccino and hot chocolate were a disaster. Had to send the cappuccino back to get some froth on the top. It was returned with froth and some chocolate powder on top but it still tasted revolting and was undrinkable. We had to leave the drinks. My husband had a caramel slice and the cost for all this was £11.90!! Outrageous. However, I will say that the cook was a very pleasant man who was very friendly but the lady behind the counter who took our order and payment was not friendly at all I will never go there again.

Having frequented this Cafe many times, I felt complelled to write a review because my boyfriend had the Corner House Breakfast and said it was the best breakfast he had had for a very long time, so only fair to share that really! I do feel (as an Italian) that the coffee is actually sub-standard- very weak, and not the place to go and expect a good coffee. I am not sure I would order a coffee again here- maybe the machine needs a clean or more coffee needs to be used. I will look closer next time I am in. I don't know if it is possible to look into this, because in my opinion this is the only thing that lets this establishment down. I have come during the week, and at weekends, and am ALWAYS greeted with a smile and a giggle when we have spoken. Yesterday we left with a piece of Gluten Free Brownie and last night we ate it, and it was DIVINE! I can also vouch for the Rocky Road!!

Good cheap food, attentive staff. Filled up quite quickly which slowed service a little bit. Really looking forward to eating outside when nicer weather arrives.

We arrived 30 minutes before closing on a wet Sunday. The very first thing said to us was that we couldn't have any hot food. OK, it might be true, but not welcoming. My partner wanted a milkshake. The 'milkshake' was a bottle of yazoo. Which was plonked on the table in front of him. He was then asked if he wanted a glass (with the distinct impression that the right answer was 'no'). As for my latte, it was muddy and nasty. We will not be returning.

It's a shame that with four cafes in Cuckfield it's still hard to get a decent coffee (unless at Tom's). Food here average and over-priced. Ordered a smoked salmon 'baguette' and got a very small soft sub role with a tiny strip of salmon for over £5! Not impressed and not the way to encourage business in!

A small tea house cum cafe / restaurant with a friendly welcome. The Corner House breakfast is plentiful and we'll cooked. The omelette it also very nice.The tea and coffee is great, even my Italian girlfriend said so.. And she knows coffee..If you are in the area and hungry or indeed thirsty this is well worth a visit.Congratulations to the staff.. And thank you.

I have had breakfast here three times now and I love it. The food is simple and delicious. It is great value too, given the quality of the produce. The fresh bread is the best I have found locally. The waiting staff are all friendly, polite and professional. I highly recommend it for breakfast or a light lunch.

The cooked breakfast here is excellent. Good size portions and good quality ingredients. The outlook is nice as it's in a busy part of the village. Service is normally good but was pretty slow this time - had to go to the counter to order as everyone seemed to be in the kitchen and not front of house. Despite this I would recommend it - cakes are also good!

Ive driven past this cafe/tea room for years and always been put off going there because of the poor parking availability... any how, this week, my friends and I were hungry after travelling back through the county... and by chance the road outside was clear and I decided to park. Im disabled and so need to park on the street - otherwise there is a car park nearby.Upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised how large the premises were (looks small from outside) - and was greeted by an older lady with a smile and a good welcome. However the other waitress (middle aged) was very curt and not friendly at all. Had the sense that we were inconveniencing her, and she was quite cold, and sadly didnt warm up!We ordered some coffees, which arrived promptly... but the coffee was poor quality and was more froth than drink. Food was also ordered and again, the food arrived without too much delay and could only be described as adequate/average... the knives and forks were literally plonked in the middle of the table without any care. The food was ok.. but the omelette - which was huge, tasty and cooked well was excellent. So the thing that let this place really down was the poor customer service and I was really disappointed. I will not be returning sadly.
