Triangle Cafe in Willingdon East Sussex in Wealden

Visited here this morning, hungry after a two hour drive and was treated to the best full English breakfast I can ever recall. Beautifully cooked, top notch ingredients, very generous quantity, and lovely friendly service. Perfection.

I cannot provide an accurate review regarding the food or indeed the service on offer as the cafe was closed. The opening times displayed on the door indicated that they open at 9am on Mondays however, sadly, this was not the case yesterday. We waited until 9.15 then gave up and found an amazing little cafe located in nearby Polegate (see my review).

A friend visiting from the USA was desperate for a proper full English before heading home. Despite never having been here before, thought we'd give it a go. Service was friendly and welcoming. A proper café and the breakfast was generous, tasty and excellent value for money. I now know where to go when I fancy a good breakfast, brunch or lunch!

I have no real quibbles about my lunch, apart from the very small size of the individual quiche with salad I ordered. My partner, however, who ordered the vegetarian breakfast, experienced a very bad bout of digestive disorder that day and all of the following day. The grilled halloumi was most probably responsible for this, in her opinion, as it did not taste good. The prices are rather high for what you get for your money. Not good value for money. The tables and the chairs could be a bit cleaner (with no bits of food left on them). We were overcharged 50 pence on the bill. Yes, I know. Not the end of the world. However, if they make a practice of doing this, the extra takings will surely mount up over the course of a week, a month, a year.

We recently visited this cafe for the first time The cafe offers good food at reasonable prices.We will definitely visit again.

We found this great café on our way home from a trip to Eastbourne. We ordered a small English and small vegetarian breakfast. Both were, in my opinion, very generous. The chef, Matt ,also came out to check whether my wife was a vegetarian to assure her that he would cook it separately. The food was freshly cooked and the options for vegetarian breakfast included halloumi and spinach. Both my wife and I agreed that this was a good find and was one of the best breakfasts we ever had. We will definitely return when we are in the area again.

Terrible service and way overpriced. The cook messed up my order and then forgot to redo it. I won't be going back.

Tried this for the first time since the new owners. Very friendly place. Drinks were good and piping hot. The full breakfast was excellent. Sausage and bacon from the butchers next door. Free range eggs. Heinz baked beans etc. Lovely home made potato rosti. All lovely and hot which makes a big difference to me. All in all highly recommended if you're in the area or passing as there is plenty of parking. The opening times are wrong on here apparently. It's 7-3 Mon Friday,8-1 Saturday. We shall return.

7am opening, friendly welcome, meat supplied by a local butcher (2 doors down) ... current cafe litmus test - bacon, sausage and egg sandwich, brown sauce, white bread, mug of tea ... this was perfect, great tasting sausage and bacon, fresh egg (and your asked how you would like it cooked) ... good banter, pleasant clean decor ... a little above usual cost, but well worth the money and the 1 mile walk from Polegate station. Support Local business startups ... Recommended!

Went in for lunch and were warmly greeted when we went in. It was very quiet, only one other person was inside. Looked at the menu on the table and saw there were mainly breakfasts available all day and toasted sandwiches and paninis. Ordered the breakfast which cost around £8.50 and had bacon, sausages (2 of each), fried egg, baked beans, tomato and mushrooms. Asked for no baked beans as I don't like them and was offered another tomato instead. Hubby got a cheese and ham toastie. Our drinks arrived - I had a latte, they had sweeteners available if you ask for them. Hubby's toastie came next and he really enjoyed it, said it had a very good amount of filling and it was really tasty. Finally my lunch arrived and I noticed that it had baked beans on there :( I had to quickly move everything around so the sauce didn't go on anything else. I didn't like the taste of the tomato, it was very watery, I gave them to hubby - I'd just been given one tomato in two halves, so I don't think I'd got extra as I'd been offered, but that was instead of the beans, which I'd still been given, so I think my order wasn't dealt with very well, might be a good idea if they write things down in future. The sausages weren't to my taste either, they went to hubby. For me, the bacon was overdone and tasted too salty. I did eat it as I was hungry. The hash brown was really lovely, shame there wasn't two! I got one slice of toast with one pat of butter, it was well toasted and tasted nice. I didn't enjoy my lunch very much at all. If I come back, I will try something else.

New owner Lizzie and Brother Matt are a great team. After a major redecoration, the café is now clean and fresh and the food is fabulous. The breakfast hash browns are homemade and absolutely to die for. The sausages are from Brains Butchers next door and are wonderfully tasty and meaty. Had the small breakfast and they were happy to swap set parts of the breakfast for other options. (don't eat mushrooms as they are a fungus. YUCK!!). More than enough to eat, but for the larger appetite, there is a large breakfast, to tuck into. They also offer made to order Sandwiches and Paninis and homemade cake. YUM!! Can't wait for my next breakfast treat.

Went for lunch on a Tuesday just before 12 noon and there were three other tables occupied. No specials available so hubby had jacket potato with cheese and asked for extra cheese - he got a mountain of cheese and he was one happy hubby!! He loved it. He had a diet coke with it. I had a fry up - ordered bacon, scrambled egg, mushrooms, fried bread, sausage and fried potato's. It was all cooked fresh. I had a lovely latte coffee whilst waiting. Lovely service, as always, such a friendly, happy atmosphere in here. Spoke with the lady who owns it and was told she's sold the business and will be leaving shortly. Another couple have bought it and are planning on shutting it for a couple of weeks to redecorate and will then re-open. They plan on doing the breakfast style menu still and adding pannini's and cakes. Such a shame this lady is going but looking forward to seeing how the new place turns out!

Totally flexible arrangements. They build breakfast to how you want it. Staff are friendly and helpful.

well it's nice to find a cafe that serves real food and real good coffee and this place is the real deal. COME SEE.

Freshly cooked, very friendly staff, the food stays hot, excellent value for money, best cafe on the south coast , everyone should visit! !

Called in with family for a cuppa to and ended up having breakfast. Great selection cooked to order and the best bubble I've had in a long time. To be recommended ... will be calling in again 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

'Slimming world' cooked breakfast excellent and great value. We love a cooked breakfast especially when it slimming world friendly! Filled us up for a busy day shopping! Will definitely be back

Really nice breakfast good way to start a busy day friendly service ,nice midday meals as well recommended

popped in for a quck cooked breakfast, as I was not going to be able to get some lunch later. so topped myself up with the addition of poached eggs and tea.

Me apetecía un guiso para comer, así que fuimos aquí como recordaba lo bueno que era la última vez!

Couldn't be bothered to make breakfast, so popped over here for a bacon baguette and coffee. Nice member of staff and a lovely bacon baguette. Seems a bit small though.

Los más pobres excusa para un desayuno que hemos tenido. Casi 5 libras por 1 huevo, 1 champiñones y morcilla. Tostadas sirvieron después del desayuno era comido (que no tardaron mucho! No comer aquí) si hasta la más mínima poco hambre!!

Small. Quirky. Odd seats and old plates and the strangest salt and pepper shakers ever but this little gem produces tasty British dishes that meet any five star restaurant and leave you smiling with a full belly.

Entré y recibieron de una manera muy amable y cálido.

Came for a breakfast with friends and had the most delicious breakfast - perfectly cooked, generous portions and the best bubble and squeak ever! Friendly owner, who can't do enough to make your visit a good one - I will definitely be returning.

Very helpful and friendly staff, a lovely breakfast always piping hot and eggs are done as requested really soft , a good value fry up :)

What a find my friend and I came here for a slimming world breakfast and we were not disappointed, eggs, bacon, mushrooms, beans, tomatoes and their legendary bubble and squeak all cooked how we liked so we could stick to our eating plan. Both the ladies were welcoming, helpful and super nice good price and we will definitely be coming again

Great service, lovely food and provide slimming world friendly breakfasts. Cooked how I like, including being fussy and asking beans to be put on the toast. Nothing seems too much trouble and they provide eat in, take away and deliveries. Good for elderly relatives to get home cooked food in their homes.

They really do go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Breakfast was good and very hot! Loads of variations possible and now even a Christmas Breakfast with Bubble and Squeek.

I went here today for lunch and was very happy! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the menu was varied. I chose the jacket potato with cheese and beans, and although a simple meal, it was delicious! It was the best quality potato I've had in a cafe, so light and fluffy. My friend's breakfast baguette looked delicious too.The prices are extremely reasonable- my meal with a drink came to under £6.Not the most luxurious surroundings and the decor wasn't to my taste, but the cafe was clean and comfortable. I'll definitely be coming back soon!

The Triangle Cafe is a small extremely friendly cafe serving good honest home cooking. Heather, the owner, takes great care to greet and make you feel at home. Breakfasts are excellent with a wide choice of ingredients making up 4,5 or 6 item meals or more! 4, 5 or 6 items are a set price of £5.00, £5.50 or £6.00 which is very reasonable. Not your usual greasy cooked breakfast as all the food is griddled and hence grease free and healthier. Coffee is make from freshly ground beans and is excellent. There is a limited range of lunch time meals all reasonably priced. Cakes, sandwiches and filled baguettes are available either for cafe consumption or takeaway. Heather even offers a home delivery scheme for people who's mobility is limited. All in all this is a great little cafe where everyone is always welcome, with good home cooking and great coffee.

Simply the best tasting bubble n sqeak served here all fresh ingredients no frozen stuff here, the sausages were fab also and served on a warm plate a rarety these days, had the choice rather than stuffy set menus, the staff were funny and very friendly, the decor is fab an Alice in wonderland theme, and it looks like they have an outdoor seating area available so great for dog walkers, overall a great experience, thanks to all those at cafe will definately be back.

As you know I'm not one to complain and when things are good I like to shout about it too.I happen to come across The Triangle Cafe by chance on the way to visit my mum in Eastbourne. I noticed a small sign with an arrow and thought "Hmm, I'll try that"Here are the highlights :Food : GoodAtmosphere: FriendlyService: GoodFree WiFi: Absolutely.Would I go again? Absolutely!Value for money? Absolutely. I had a cappuccino of a decent size unlike some of the others that I've written about in previous reviews. I also ordered a Breakfast Baguette which came with egg, a couple of sausages and bacon all for £4.00!The cafe is what you'd expect from a cafe. No thrills, interesting decor. It's a little close with seating for 22 and I imagine if they get busy it can be quite a squeeze but on the day that I visited it was quiet :-)I really enjoyed the visit and I'm looking forward to going again. The Triangle Cafe is one of those treasures that if you don't know is there you could quite easily miss.But you know, don't take my word for it, try it out for yourself and let me know.

I went there for breakfast with my mother after hearing they cater to slimming world clients. They were very friendly and indeed they catered to our slimming world needs. The food was amazing and very fresh. We are now making it a weekly visit. Highly recommend :)

We visit the Triangle Cafe frequently, either for the great breakfast or just a cuppa and a chat.Heather and Anj are lovely so are the others all very friendly and happy,Keep it up We will be back. Thank you

The other day we visited the Triangle Cafe for breakfast. There was a good choice of breakfast items. I had scrambled egg on toast and added bacon and sausage. The scrambled egg was lovely and creamy.My husband had the full works--all the items, black pudding, bubble and squeak, tomato,etc.He loved it and he's had quite a few, so is quite the conniseur!! We will definitely be visiting again! An added bonus was that the staff were very cheerful and smiley!

Recently visited The Triangle Cafe only to discover the "Best Bubble and Squeek ever tasted. I ordered a cooked breakfast and was not disappointed, the service was excellent and my food arrived piping hot. My partner ordered the Mushroom Stroganoff and commented on how creamy and tasty it was. We will definately visit this cafe again service and staff very friendly and welcoming.

Had a full brekkie and I can honestly say It was delicious,I would definatly go back, the staff are very welcoming.Mel Watson

Went to this cafe a little time ago. Took ages to be served (very busy with the morning rush of customers).But worst was, I was served with an undercooked sausage that was raw pink in middle. I certainly would never go back. I don't want food poisoning.

iv tried many a place for a breakfast and this is the best so far. friendly, tasty and clean. cant wait to get back there for sure.

I visited wit my fiancé and two young daughters. We were greeted by two very warm and welcoming women who gave the impression that nothing was too much trouble. The interior was very clean and food served was hot, fresh and came quickly ( it went down quickly too!!) a fantastic experience.

Recently had breakfast here. Ignore the decor as am sure the new management will deal with this. The breakfast was lovely using good quality locally sourced produce. The bubble and squeek was very good. Looking forward to eating here again.

Really enjoyed a morning coffee at this friendly and cosy cafe. Excellent service and friendly hosts. Highly recommend a piece of home made cake.

This morning I enjoyed a fantastic breakfast at The Triangle Cafe with really good quality bacon and sausages, a decent cup of tea and a very warm welcome by the owners, I'll be back for sure!

We found this cafe by lucky chance and had a really lovely breakfast. The people were friendly the quality of the food was excelent and the cafe was clean and bright.

My second visit and again I was not disappointed!! I seem on their Facebook page that they were slimming world friendly and as a member I was thoroughly excited by this!! It's hard being on a diet and finding somewhere that you can eat without knowing the exact contents of the food. I spoke to the owner who told me that she herself also attended slimming world and that's what inspired her to do so. Once again great food great atmosphere great price!! I will be telling all of the members in our group!! Thanks!!

I recenly visited The Triangle cafe with a friend and we were certainly not disappointed! We were greeted immediately by the friendly owners, who we understand have recently taken over the cafe. There was a lovely "homely" feel as soon as you walk in and we were surprised to see the variety of food which is served. Our breakfast was cooked fresh to order and was good value. We will most definitely be paying another visit.

I have visited this Café outside Eastbourne after being aware of its reputation I can now say that this excellent reputation is fully justified. On arrival there was a warm welcome from the proprietor who I understand only recently took over the Café.There was a menu on the table and a blackboard with special dishes.I choose from the blackboard and I received the plate of a very generous portion of lovely tasty food . I commend the dining area as being very pleasant and immaculate

I visited the cafe last week and spoke 2 the owner who told me it was her first day as the owner! You would not have known, the food was beautiful and the service quick and pleasant. I ordered breakfast and the portion size was excellent. Will definitely be returning on my next visit to Eastbourne.

We visited the cafe on Thursday for a breakfast before work. The cafe is under new management so obviously there have been a few changes. The cafe is very cosy and open so you can see food being prepared. The breakfast was reasonably priced with a good choice of breakfast items.We will be returning for lunch to sample the home made hunters chicken!!! The cafe is in close proximity to the south downs so is an ideal place to stop when out walking. Very impressed that they have free WiFi !!!!!
