Wards Kitchen in Rother

I was sad to see the last review. Like many other people we visit Wards kitchen regularly. It is a friendly good value traditional cafe with lovely home cooked food and the best cheese scones for miles around! It is a shame that the cafe is upstairs, although you can buy the baked goods in the shop downstairs if you can’t make the climb. Having said that, many people struggle to get up the stairs knowing that the effort is worth it.

As such a homely oldfashioned type of place on the first floor above the shop. However the coffee was very disagreeable, nothing like a proper cappucchino and the fruit scone crumbled to tiny bits, no chance spreading any butter or jam on it. A pity.

Worth the climb up the stairs. Home cooked specials at great prices. Very popular, friendly service, good food, tired interior but spotless. Recommended.

After lots of visits to eateries in Bexhill we found this one almost by mistake whilst browsing in the wonderful shop downstairs. Great cafe, spotlessly clean (including the toilets). Lots of choice on the menu, plus specials of the day. Today was lasagne or steak pie, for £5.50. We opted for jacket potatoes with salad. Very reasonably priced, good environment and pleasant staff. Very busy, so obviously popular. Also take away cake service. All seemed home made. Will be back!

All beautifully home made food. Very clean and good value. We had steak pie with lovely shortcrust pastry.

you have to climb some steep stairs to reach this cafe, but the scones are well worth it. The staff were friendly, a good place to stop mid shop.

Perched above Wards Clothing Shop. A little lunch and tea shop always full at noon. Reasonable home cooked lunches, cakes and tea/coffee. Locals love it. Friendly staff. Looks out into the street.

Great cafe with excellent food and very friendly staff, all food and cakes are home made and they like to try new recipes and flavours

Wards is a wonderful place to eat. Really excellent home cooked meals with specials every day. Plus gorgeous scones and fabulous ☕️ coffee. The staff are attentive and fun. Linda - Angela and Archie are great and very efficient. 0verall this is a five star place Also they did a fabulous Christmas 🎄 dinner With comped drinks. Downstairs is a unique selection of men's clothing choices - all high quality.

Excellent home cooked lunches and puddings. Scones and cakes are a treat the ladies are always very helpful and pleasant.

We visited Wards for lunch They have a menu board outside giving the daily menu, simple home cooked food, which is what a lot of people want Staff were very attentive The restaurant is on a first floor, up a steep flight of stairs so is not ideal for those with difficulty in walking

Often visit when having a walk along the prom or going in to town. Great for reasonably priced wholesome home made food. I have yet to find better scones! Stairs are steep, but it is worth it.

Great choice of freshly made scones and cakes, good service. Not very accessible for the less mobile.

This little cafe is great and they do the best home made scones. All the food is home made from cakes to lovely lunches, they also do sandwiches and snacks to order. The staff are really helpful and friendly.

Been here many times before. Went this morning , coffee luke warm , asked for scone , none ready and offered a rockcake but it was yesterday's. Never drank the coffee left after a few minutes . Very disappointed.

Bit expensive. Cheese scones are really good but are getting smaller and dearer. Staff very somber. Not much personality.

My husband & I have had lunch here quite a few times. The food is good and reasonably priced. I believe the hot meals are made on the premises. The eating area is up a steep flight of stairs, so no good for those with mobility problems.

Simple menu and portions are not huge but its tasty. Its a quiet place to rest your tired shopping feet. The best thing is the cheese scones.

Every time that I have visited here previously they have always sold out of their hot food but this time they had food left as they seemed to be fairly quiet
