The Gallery Community Cafe in Wealden

Visited for Sunday breakfast and wasn’t disappointed. Beautifully clean, very pleasant waitress showed us to our table. Like being back in 1950’s so pleasant. Food excellent, freshly cooked and plenty of it. Great selection of drinks. Overall a very enjoyable experience, looking forward to returning maybe for lunch as the cakes looked amazing!!

Got there only to find it had not reopened after Covid. Was very disappointed that I had gone there having found them on trip advisor

Brilliant coffee and cake, looked as though you can also have light lunches available too. Nice atmosphere. , convenient when using Community Centre or shopping in town .Worth a visit , good atmosphere.

Been three times lately , great Macoroni Cheese , Jacket Potatoes with Chilli and Welsh Rarebit all well presented and very tasty . Impressed with friendly staff , well run establishment - well done all.

Had fantastic coffee and cake at this local community cafe. Great meeting place next to newly refurbished library.

I had a quick lunch at the Galley Cafe yesterday - just a sausage roll and coffee - but what a sausage roll! Large, tasty and warming. People around me all seemed to be enjoying the cafe's lunchtime specials. Great venue, good atmosphere.

The most beautiful, tasty, organic 'at desk' takeaway bacon & egg sandwiches (some toasted) just eaten at Steel Cross! We will definitely be back for more, thanks Alex.

The Community Cafe is the best place for a home cooked lunch or just coffee and sandwiches or cake in Crowborough! Excellent value and Jos cheese scones and cakes are delicious!

Yummy food, friendly staff, a great place to take children too. As they provide books, colouring books and pencils. Much more friendly than the last lot who owned this cafe!

Really enjoy the friendly service and good coffee. The cakes, sausage rolls and food looks and tastes great. We need this as it’s a great local cafe.

I have heard about many changes in the cafe in recent months, as a result I thought I would give it a try again one lunchtime as I was in the area and hungry, I can say that the pricing is very fair and the portions are generous to say the least, if your after good home cooked style food and enjoy a good pud then you really have to pop in to this hidden gem of a cafe. It looks to have a change chef behind the counter who is very welcoming and knows what good food is or at least what I consider that to be, no packet food or warmed up rubbish. I was also very surprised to see that this place has meeting rooms available for booking.

Having popped in to meet a friend for coffee I then returned for lunch with my husband and son. The staff were very friendly and helpful, good food and excellent value.

A group of 30-odd locals were due to have a pre-booked lunch here on Tuesday afternoon. However, this did not take place owing to the chef being taken ill suddenly. We can all appreciate that these things happen occasionally. However, no-one contacted our group and let us know. We only found out because the lady who made the bookings popped in to the cafe to advise them of a last minute change, and was told that our lunch was not prepared. It is quite unbelievable that no-one actually had the presence of mind to make a simple phone call and thus avoid upsetting 30 potential customers. After finding out the lunch was cancelled, we actually went to the cafe to complain in person. We queued up to speak to whomever was in charge, but gave up after 15 minutes, as the kitchen staff were clearly struggling to make sandwiches for another sizeable group of people. You'd think that sandwiches would be less of a challenge than a hot meal, and clearly the staff must have thought so too, as they were attempting to cater for that group, but it was like watching the keystone cops albeit in slow-motion. The people queuing for their sandwiches were muttering about how long it was taking, and how they couldn't understand why their sandwiches (apparently also pre-booked) weren't ready. Perhaps the food and service are great under normal circumstances. We'll never know. Owing to the dismal lack of communication, we won't be booking any lunches there anytime soon.

Thirty members of a Crowborough club had organised a lunch for today. The lady organising the lunch had taken in our choice of food from their menu last Friday as requested. Purely by chance she visited the café this morning and was told that the chef was off ill and a temporary chef was standing in. She was then told that this chef did not have a note of our orders and that they did not have the supplies to make the appropriate meals we had requested. The lady was then told they had some quiches and chilli available but no desserts. The proprietors had made no attempt to contact the lady in question to explain the situation despite the fact they had both her home and mobile numbers. After consulting those due to attend, it was agreed to decline to accept this meagre repast and that we would not consider dining there in the future. This shambles left thirty people, who were looking forward to having a nice lunch with their friends, disappointed and inconvenienced, due entirely to the proprietors total incompetence. We cannot rate the café for food, service or value for the obvious reasons and we will certainly not be recommending it to anybody else.

This is a little gem lovely staff very obliging. Good coffees and teas. Very nice, very welcoming, good food. Always worth popping in.

This is a great place for a tasty snack or a full meal. The friendly catering manager Alistair will discuss what you would like and make your choice of sandwich. Nothing seems to be too much trouble. The meals before the film club nights are delicious and make the evening a good night out. All the food is cooked from scratch and nicely served. The cakes and deserts are wonderful! Well worth a visit. It can be off-putting to have people walking through the eating area to go to the meeting rooms beyond, but the good food makes up for that.

Saw sign for coffee shop and did a U turn to get to it. Had a lovely cup of tea and chocolate cake. It in the Community Centre and deserves to be supported. I'll certainly treat myself to lunch or tea. Very well appointed and free WiFi to boost.

The best Fish and chips in Crowborough - on a Friday. Lovely coffee and real home baking. Friendly atmosphere. My favourite place for a coffee, cake and chat.

This Cafe serves the most amazing homemade (savoury or sweet) scones for afternoon tea with butter or jam & cream, also toasted teacakes etc. Excellent, friendly service always and nothing too much trouble. Very child friendly, you must visit soon.

We held our WI Craft Day at the centre and used the lovely cafe for our guests and visitors. They served a great sandwich buffet for our group, keeping a table reserved for us. Also served teas, coffees & delicious cakes to about 200 ladies attending our meeting. Excellent and efficient.

I've just returned from an all day event at the Crowborough Centre where Alastair and his team really did pull out all of the stops to cater for some 200 WI Members.

A very friendly atmosphere. Great for a coffee, lunch or dinner. The toasted sandwiches are fantastic!

Alistair and Jenni make the food on site in this sunny little cafe in the Crowborough community centre. Everything is fresh and beautifully presented. The menu is small and unpretentious, but 'a cut above', eg your leek and potato soup is home made, a generous bowful with a dash of cream; your pizza is baked to order; you can specify the ingredients for your salad and it'll be made up just for you (no tired leaves drooping under clingfilm in a fridge!). You can even have a glass of wine with your meal. Occasional 'specials' could be something like 'Haggis Neeps and Tatties' on Burns night, or a Curry Night Buffet when there's a film showing in the Centre.Alistair & Jenni are very welcoming. I highly recommend The Gallery.

Marvellous & very reasonably priced. Personal service with a smile! Excellent home cooked food. Soup (£4.00) with savoury scone and artisan bread a special today!

I find this cafe very handy for my needs. I take a wheelchair bound pensioner out a few times a week and find the facilities excellent. Staff always friendly and helpful. Food very nice and affordable. Worth a visit!

A really good, non-chain, place to stop for coffee, a snack or a full lunch. Good food, prepared on the premises and with a good range of drinks to accompany it. Fully licensed and so a glass of wine or a cold beer is an alternative to coffee and tea.

This cafe is a hidden gem. The food was good and the staff were friendly and keen to help. I would recommend.

Have not been here for some time for lunch as other commitments have prevented this , a good friend and a native of the Town had never been here so we were set for anh interesting visit.

Local friendly cafe, good breakfasts, and specials,very reasonable, popular meeting place for locals. so relaxed to enjoy a coffee and cakes

Both times I'v been here the food was good and homemade. The service was friendly and the food very quickly served. Attention to detail, eg a rose in the the centre of the table, and everything was very clean. Nothing too much trouble for the chef or waitresses. Pot of tea for two very welcome!

Had lunch on an impulse. The menu seems limited, but you can ask for a sandwich as well as 2 home-made specials and baked pots, and scones etc. Wanted to please, and the home made fish pie was really good. Once they've settled in a bit more I think they will be a bit more organised, but the important thing is that they try hard to get everything right and to please customers as much possible.
