The Grange in Brighton and Hove

Great to see the Grange cafe open again. Tasty home made food whilst sitting in a peaceful tranquil walled garden- very relaxing & scones warm, straight out of the oven

Situated at the back of the library in a pleasant garden setting. Although a poor vegan menu the staff went out of their way to find something for me to eat. A lovely pot of tea and dogs welcome.

Great homemade soups, cakes, apple pies and fresh sandwiches- a real gem to sit in the gardens and have tea from the beautiful dallah

Fantastic homemade cakes severed in a beautiful walled garden with flowers and trees- children safe to play. Beautiful teapots . Served quicker and cakes. Open 7 days s week in summer - fully wheelchair accessible

The Grange is an historical house and garden, linked with Lutyens and Gertrude Jekyll, and contains the local museum, which has an exhibition about Burne-Jones (see his stained glass in St Margaret's church up the road). There are also displays of local history (the author of "National Velvet" lived here, and the story of the "Daddy long-legs" elevated tram platform that travelled from Brighton pier through the sea to Rottingdean is truly amazing! Ps at low tide from the East col of the marina you can still see the trackway running across the rocks in front of the undercliff walk). Food is served in the restored Gertrude Jekyll gardens; what could be lovelier than cucumber sandwiches and tea in the garden on a sunny day?

Wonderful gluten free sponge, I highly recommend going to this beautiful tea garden in rottingdean.!

A disabled and wheelchair accessible sanctuary of tranquility ( disabled access door on the side of the library). I took my mum on a Sunday afternoon- we sat outside on the terrace in the spring sunshine surrounded by beautiful flowers and had a cup of tea and slice of homemade banana cake (gluten free). There is a snack/lunch menu too ie salads/quiches/jacket potatoes and sandwiches on the menu. Very friendly ladies and boy serving. We left round the side of the building and via the front garden admiring the flowers . Very child friendly too and different secluded sections of the garden.

One of those places that could spoil if it gets too popular! The Grange is in a central location, opposite the Plough, pub and the duck-pond. A former vicarage for a parson who was, by all accounts quite a character; parson, school teacher, benefactor to the poor, smuggler and various other guises his home is now a library, museum, art gallery and a delightful little cafe and restaurant. Expect nothing grand or outlandish The Grange does baked potatoes, sandwiches, home made soup, home made cakes, that kind of thing produced from a small kitchen with just two staff but this is served to you in a beautiful walled garden that is just a perfect setting for a light lunch or afternoon tea. Portions are old-fashionedly modest so this is not a place for a blow-out! And your refined old English lunches and tea come under constant threat from a marauding seagull who will eat anything, even your butter pat, foil and all, given half a chance....to the absolute delight of a small boy when we were there! Come and enjoy the museum and art gallery and stop off in this gentle spot for a little nourishment!

The Grange is an Art Gallery , library, gardens and restaurant. It is truly delightful with excellent changing exhibitions as well as a wonderful permanent display on Rottingdean, in particular on Rudyard Kipling who lived and wrote in the village.

We were fortunate in arriving on a quiet but sunny day so we had our pick of the tables. It's a great little oasis of calm amongst flowers doing their best in this exceptional hot summer weather.Drinks and food are delivered to your table and were great quality and excellent value too.

we were lucky that we chose a sunny day to sit in this delightful garden and have tea and cakes. Ended a perfect visit to this delightful place

A lovely tea garden set in a beautiful garden. The cakes and quiches are all home made and very tasty. A really relaxing break in your day.

You’re spoilt for choice in Rottingdean when looking for somewhere to eat or drink, but there is really only one tea garden - and that’s at The Grange.

Sat in the delightful walled garden both before and after a walk along the coast path

Lovely sunny walled garden behind the Grange library & Museum away from the traffic. Home made cakes & freshly-prepared snacks

Good coffee when we visited over the August Bank Holiday. Stopped for a coffee whilst visiting various venues around Lewes during their 'Art Wave'. Tranquil and beautiful Garden to sit in.

This tea garden, which is open from around Easter to Autumn, is a delightful spot. It is easy to visit Rottingdean and miss it - you need to walk through The Grange, which houses the library and small art gallery and out the back of it is a lovely garden in two parts. The work of Lutyens can be seen on the steps on the lower part and then through an arch to the lawned area. There is a small room for poor weather but this cafe is best visited to sit outdoors.

Our only regret with the Grange is that it's only open for 6 months a year - we're impatiently waiting for the spring opening right now! The women who run it are lovely, always welcoming. The cakes are to die for. Particular favourites: Victoria sandwich with fresh strawberries; apple cake; lemon drizzle; bakewell tart. The gardens are lovely to sit in and this complements a visit to the art gallery and library.

Brought an overseas colleague there. Cosy little place. Nice tea and scones. Had nice open fire on which was nice as it was a cold day.

Went to Rottingdean to the Garnge Museum & Art Gallery and the Kipling Gardens on a Sunday. The museum was closed but we were lucky enough to find the lovely tea garden open.
