The Refectory in Mid Sussex

We visited Aroma with high expectations but left feeling underwhelmed. The veggie breakfast and full English were average in taste and small in portion size. While the staff were very sweet, the interior design felt overwhelming. Given the quality and portion sizes, the prices felt unjustified, making the overall experience not reflective of the café’s high rating.

As I vegan, I never expect to be able to eat anything special when I’m not in my home town of go to comforts.. but I was so blown away by their vegan rainbow sandwich! (Can’t remember it official name!) It was so beautifully presented and in abundance, it was such a treat! One of the best bites I’ve had in ages. Thank you! Left so happy !

Such a joy to find this little place. The food has that home-made nourishing feeling to it – really tasty and satisfying. The location, right by Devil's Dyke, is idyllic. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Lovely to sit outside and soak up the sun in its laid-back atmosphere.

Great place with gluten free options. Feel like they are missing a trick with the pizza selections. Had to customise. Some beef / chicken pizzas without pork would open up to more customers who don't want to compensate and go veggie. Apart from that. Great experience.

Had afternoon tea today and it was amazing! The food was great, the cakes were beautiful! I Definitely would recommend going here! And the price for what you get was brilliant. To top it off the staff are all lovely and made you feel welcome!
