Will's Bakery Cafe in Rother - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We stopped off here on the way to pick cherries nearby. We had panini with garnish and drinks. Unfortunately we were told there was no water so no coffee but it didn’t matter. The food was lovely and reasonably priced. It started raining so we squeezed inside.

Had a weekend stay in Northiam and check out was 10am, we were early so drove 5 mins to the other side of the village for breakfast 2 rashers bacon, 2 sausages, 2 eggs and 2 slices of toast, butter and marmalade and either tea or coffee (decaf) for £20 … it was delicious- the bread tasted home made and the food was not from a supermarket - service lovely / so many people calling in ! There’s no tomatoes or beans or wilted Spinach- just what I’ve said but for £10 each it was really good value for money

Stopped off early afternoon as passing through the village. Saw the bakery and thought it would be nice to get the 2 of us a cake. Went in and asked if they had anything vegan. Was told they had 1 vegan sausage roll. I asked if any if their cakes were vegan to which they replied no. Very sad in this modern day that they don't have any vegan options at all apart from literally 1 vegan sausage roll. Most places these days have some vegan options. Also one member of staff who was behind the salad bar kept touching the lettuce leaves with her hands Even though she wasnt preparing anything, just playing with the leaves. Not a place I would recommend.

Small and very friendly cafe attached to an amazing and very busy bakery. Service was quick and polite, the food so, so good. We all had a variation on full English, which comes with toast and marmalade, as well as really good coffee and tea. All ingredients are locally sourced where applicable, obviously coffee isn't from any part of Sussex, but it was really well made. The marmalade was locally made and very, very good. The quality of food was exceptional, and the atmosphere cosy but comfortable and pleasant. having found it once, we returned again as the toast and marmalade was too good to have just once. Excellent value for money and the "made to order" rolls and sandwiches along with the bakery items were equally as good.

What a find! Great little cafe with very efficient and friendly staff and delicious, reasonably priced food. Stopped here for coffee on our way to Great Dixter Garden and decided to return for lunch. Delicious toasted sandwich with excellent salad - not just leaves and the odd piece of tomato. Absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.

Stumbled across this lovely, welcoming cafe four days ago and returned today because we had enjoyed lunch there so much. It did not disappoint. On both occasions the staff accommodated exactly what we asked for in a sandwich, all ingredients were freshly cooked ( egg, bacon and tomato). The bacon was particularly good. The staff were very friendly and helpful on both our visits. We are visitors to this area, but intend returning to this special cafe when we are in the area again in November. Ps cakes to die for.

We popped in around lunchtime on a Friday. We sat in the cafe area. We saw that it was very busy at the counter. There was a nice selection of sandwich fillings. We ended up choosing from the menu: the all day breakfast and a goat's cheese panini (which was supposed to come with roasted peppers but unavailable so I asked for sun-dried tomatoes which ended up being a bit dry and chewy, maybe better if they were cut up?) The cheese was very nice though. My husband's breakfast was delicious, with well cooked quality items. Staff were very friendly. We will definitely be back.

We went to try the cooked breakfast, disappointed that there was no option to add any beans, mushrooms or tomatoes. Only tough sausages, concrete bacon and well done eggs with a puddle of oil. £27 for 2 of these “breakfasts” and 2 hot drinks. Stick to baking, not cooking

Really friendly and welcoming privately run shop with a modest cafe on the side. All cafe food freshly prepared & very tasty, almost felt as if we were old school friends. Be aware table space inside is limited.

Amazing homemade sandwiches and treats. Bread it always fresh. Lovely fresh fillings. The quiche are amazing! Welcoming and helpful staff. My children love to come and choose something.

Onderweg even gestopt bij deze kleine bakkerij/Broodjesbar. Heerlijk lekkere broodjes en gebak, lekker brood. Erg vriendelijk bediend ook! Top!

Was in the area & wanted a bite & is only bakery/cafe in village. Ordered small sausage roll & latte at counter, staff asked eat in or takeaway so we sat down to eat. All was well. Food nothing special at all. Stuck side salad i didnt eat or want next to my sausage roll. When came to pay, it was £7.85, £5 for sausage roll. I stated i would pay it but wasn't happy as wasnt informed would cost double to eat in. I paid & manager came over when I explained (after I've already paid remember) both manager & staff started shouting at me coz 'it's on the menu', i ordered at the counter, had never been there before & expect small extra charge but double?! After they then told me I was rude. Never again! Next time will go to a neighbouring village

I needed somewhere to meet in Northiam. Will's fitted the bill on paper. The toasted ham and cheese croisant was well warmed and the cheese melted. The coffee hot and although the seating was not available because of a refurm there was a bench in the sun light on the village green opposite

Called in to buy some cakes. The staff appeared disinterested, no welcome, no eye contact, and a just take your cakes and shove off attitude. So I did just that. The good news is that the cakes were fine.

Thankyou for reading our review. Now we fully understand why people told us in Tenterden it’s a beautiful village a must to see but eat elsewhere “avoid Wills bakery". Oh my, what a letdown, on every aspect of what you expect from an eatery. Each one of my family went in individually during our Air BnB stay to pick up a few snacks. Its wayyyyyyy over priced for the quality!! (Need I say more) My husband and I brought the same thing separately on two separate occasions, different prices both times. The staff's attitude must be a way to filter out certain nice customers; we waited for a moment to see if they were actually pleasant to anybody, Ran out of time. Go see Northiam beautiful where time has stood still, eat before you go.!!!

Great service, very friendly and helpful staff. Brilliant scotch eggs, quiches and rolls.- highly recommended How lucky to have such a great little bakery and cafe in Northiam.

The food is very good, although a little overpriced but the staff are very rude and lack basic customer service skills. Every time I’ve been in the card machine has been slow and god forbid you walk towards the door, they are quick to shout that you need to wait.

I've wanted to like Will's, I really have. But every visit is met with terse glares, abrupt replies and, on three occasions, an incorrect bill. Never undercharged, interestingly.This week's instalment was an older blonde woman who was downright rude, complete with eye rolling and muttering. That is, until an older gentleman came in making lewd, innuendo filled comments (appropriate from the 1970's perhaps) and then she was charm and giggles personified. Even the younger, more pleasant lady looked embarrassed, as though putting up with the grumpy old Aunt visiting for Christmas.Perhaps it's one of those local shops for local people. There's no other choice nearby sadly, but I'd give it a miss if you're looking for any indication that they've had any customer service training.The food is nice enough, rather overpriced for basic goods made with white flour and cheap ingredients.

Another gorgeous visit to the best bakery lovely fresh baked goods my rolls were still warm , the staff were friendly and made me smile which is much needed at the moment ♥️thankyou for being open and all your freshly baked goodies, we don’t need any negative comments I love this bakery lots of love and thankyou xxxxxx

Lovely expensive pies, cakes and tarts although do not be deceived by the Bakery part, they buy everything in so are not Bakers in the proper sense . In the current climate only 2 people allowed in the shop at any time with masks, although until last week the staff thought it was acceptable to not wear masks.They also handle cakes with their bare hands without gloves which I do not find acceptable, particularly at the moment. It's as if they think it's OK to give customers Covid but they do not want Customers to give it to them. Some of the staff (not all) are quite terse bordering on being rude, dismissive and aloof, certainly they are not a friendly bunch.I've been a regular visitor in the past but I won't be using them again due to verty high prices and staff attitude. Sorry.

This is a very nice be it small bakery come tea room. Unfortunately because there is no competition in trade it seems they can charge some ridiculously high prices which is a shame. I am sure the quality of food is excellent but at a very high price. £4 for a punnet of strawberries seemed high as Kentish strawberries everywhere now and nearly £2for a small scone. Cannot possibly justify a regular visit even for coffee sadly

Thanks to all at Wills for delivering my order today. Was missing your sausage rolls so good to get them back in my belly!! Not only are you delivering but your prices are great, good to see not everyone is trying to make a fast buck. Can't wait to us all getting back to normal and I can get back to my early morning visit. You deserve a medal. Px

This is disappointing. The service unfortunately was not good and everything is overpriced. We sat in to have lunch and coffee. I have only been once and I have to say, I won’t be back. Definitely some staff training on customer service needed.

Found this little cafe in Northiam, once a table had been found for us and our dog we were made very welcome. Good coffee and range of food. Prices reasonable. Will definitely be going back.

Staying for a week in the village we were delighted to find this wonderful coffee shop. Excellent coffee and light snack/lunch on the 3 occasions we visited. Made most welcome. Staff very friendly and atmosphere welcoming and fun. And a sausage for the dogs - what more could we ask! Would thoroughly recommend if you are in the area.

A gorgeous breakfast today served by the lovely Caroline who couldn’t of made us more welcome. We had our small furry friend with us and sat at a table near the door so we didn’t upset any other non dog friendly people. For the previous negative comments on this beautiful clean happy little bakery I wil ignore shame on you picking holes we will be back very soon and thankyou x

Gone down hill recently. As a regular customer I'm very disappointed that two visits in a row I was served by a dark haired lady, who was very rude. I tried to make conversation about the weather/How nice the cake looked=blank face from her, no thank you, have a nice day..! Coffee tasted like instant? Such a shame as normally greeted by friendly face and a how are you. Saying that still a lovely selection of tasty treat!

Me and my husband were on holiday near by and popped in to pick some cakes but found the owner extremely rude and even swore at us Using the F word in full . We don’t recommend anyone to go there so stay away and find another bakers xx

What a lovely place. Fantastic food and the most smiley waitress I have seen in a long time. We had a scumptuous plate of the best ever scrambled eggs, delicious bacon and a very generous portion of smashed avocado.When passing through we will definitely stop again.

I pop in here now and again when I go to Northiam. The food is really lovely and all freshly made. The only reason I haven’t given 5 stars is because sadly it is quite expensive even on taking food away

We both had breakfast and I had the full English and my wife had the "alternative" breakfast. Both were delicious. We have stopped here previously for coffee and donuts, also good. Very friendly efficient staff, especially Ellie.

The kind of quality, quirky, independent establishment we always hope to find on our travels. Caroline and Saskia were attentive to our every need, great fresh food, great selection of condiments to take away.

Living near Eastbourne, it probably doesn't do much for the environment and food miles but when out and about we have quite often diverted to Northiam for their bread, cakes and quiches. Really good, tasty, freshly made, reasonably priced, good friendly service and a nice atmosphere too - and buying locally supports local businesses and keeps money out of supermarkets which is a definite bonus..

Drove past initially but did a u-turn when we saw Wills. It looked so inviting with lovely bakery items on display that we decided to stop for lunch. Really glad we did!

Really friendly welcome. Given the option of sitting outside in the sun or inside and very much enjoyed our tomato and red pepper soup and the savoury tea of scones and chutney and cream cheese. We thought the prices were quite good.

Driving through so thought we would try the bakery and bought our food which is very over priced for what it is, once we bought it we went and sat outside only to be told we can't sit there because we hadn't paid to sit outside not that we were given the option, I asked how much extra it is and was given "its basically a pound extra for every item we had" which doesn't fall in line with the 20% you pay to sit inside because of vat, also they had no bread but the worst part if it was when we were being served they touch money and food with their hands quite frequently and that is really not good, real shame.

Scotch eggs made freshly are great if you can get there beforehand 8am as they are still warm! Table service is fast and selection of local produce good.

I've been to this lovely little cafe several times as I moved to Nothiam last year ... You might have to pay a little bit more but the food is always fantastic and the staff are very attentive and polite....and one more thing they serve the finest scotch eggs I have ever found worth a visit just to try.

Popped in for pastries, bread and to see if the scotch eggs were all they cracked up to be. I’d heard they were good. Blimey they were fantastic.

Very busy, as there is a baker's shop at the cafe, but despite tis we were treated well, the food was good (as always) ; no faults. If anything, we enjoyed Will's so muich that we really had to force outselves to leave.

A bit cramped and old fashioned. Friendly staff Excellent Coffee ; I did not sit outside but but tables availble al fresco

As a local, I love popping in here for a loaf of bread or a cup of coffee - and there are lots of treats next to the counter to tempt me to consume more. Well run and very friendly and relaxed. Nice to sit outside in the summer. It is a resource Northiam would be much the poorer for if without. It is also a good place to stop off at on the way to or from Hastings or Rye.

Friendly staff and I have always had good service. But we can't go much because husband is disabled and there is only one chair with arms which is ok for him. They do have a problem in that they are lacking space but in a way that make it quaint. there would be no room to fit larger comfy chairs. I gather this premise started as a bakery and then developed as a cafe. So they do the best they can and it is quite cosy. Now there is seating outside which helps, though there is quite a lot of traffic through Northiam on their doorstep.

Clearly a busy place for locals and people passing through. Lots of cakes and sandwiches to choose from, the cakes were delicious and the bread was fresh and lovely. Lots of choice, good service and nice coffee.

Called in on a misty and damp November morning. Took a lovely hot coffee and a truly excellent scotch egg for my late breakfast. The girls behind the counter were friendly and chatty - so service excellent and truly the best scotch egg I have ever eaten - and I've done a few!! Going back to sample the breakfast I think.

Visited the Bakery/Cafe for a late breakfast and was quite impressed. OK very impressed! The bakery side was very welcoming with good lighting and a good display of cakes/bread etc, which being of weak mind, forced me into buying a few bits and pieces, as well as breakfast. I had a basic poached egg and bacon on granary. All of which was well prepared and speedily produced. Being a bit of an aficionado as far as poached eggs are concerned (see earlier reviews) I would have to give it 9.275. Staff were very pleasant and proprietor (chef?) even made the time to come and say hello.

Never been disappointed whenever I’ve come here, scotch eggs very nice too. Will be returning again without fail.

My husband and me could not believe what we saw and heard and on our way back we returned to confirm. The first time it was the only place to eat we had seen for miles and although the menu was only a photocopy it looked what we wanted.

In itself, this is a small but pleasant bakery with a few tables and an interesting looking food selection. There is a problem with their pricing though...hugely expensive for very little. When I ordered my customary bowl of salad, I was informed it was £4.50! No one really seems to know what to charge me for it so I've normally paid around £3. This huge increase took my breath away...and the salad that came out was miniscule! I complained and it went back to the kitchen to be topped up. £4.50 is way too expensive for a bowl of salad..no protein..no bread. Your prices are too high and that's a real shame.

We had a reasonable breakfast at Will’s cafe in Northiam, the tables outside were nice, however the tables on the cafe were quite cramped.

Found this lovely cafe by chance today. Great stop for a light lunch. They staff were very friendly and efficient and could not do enough for us. The food was delicious and very well presented. Nice outside seating which was very welcome on a warm day. Such a pity we don't live nearer as would definitely be regular visitors.

30 June 2018 Stopped here for our break on a walk with friends. Phoned ahead to reserve a table and staff very helpful and friendly on the phone and when we arrived. We'd been there before and knew food was good and our friends were impressed with the pastries too. The pear and apple juices were delicious and we were also given a large jug of iced water with lemon slices as it was a hot day and we were very thirsty. A new outdoor seating area has been added since our last visit and it was tempting just to sit there under our parasol all afternoon but we had to carry on with the second half of our walk. Thank you for the great service

We went to Wills this morning for a father's day breakfast.

We were staying on a walking distance from Will's ( at the Old School House) The breakfast and serving were great, we ate outside on a sunny morning. Very good quality for a reasonable price. The take away sandwiches and coffees are great!

Popped in for some breakfast, consists of two small areas, serving/prep and seating. Bit cramped but cosy. Was shocked by the price. Sat in and had a bacon sandwich and coffee and it came to £7.40. I did enjoy the sandwich but way too expensive.

The cakes were good but they forgot the tea with the cream tea (and actually charged us extra for tea when I asked for it, which I only realised afterwards). They also serve whipped instead of clotted cream with the scones.

I have today given Wills Bakery in Northiam my last attempt at patronage!

I popped in for a couple of scotch eggs and was not happy when the girl serving placed them into a bag touching them after handing money, this is not a good practice and I could not understand why a tong was not used.

We were so excited about getting a prawn sandwich and a doughnut from a village bakery! You'd think it would a fairly easy thing to get right. However, when we got to the car with our takeaway brunch we were utterly dissapointed! The granary bread sliced so thin we could see through it and it only just held the sandwich together. The prawn and mayonaise was tasteless, as in, you could not taste anything.. oh, apart a faint hint of what prawns taste like not long out of the freezer. The one leaf of lettuce was.. er... mean to say the least. No worries, the doughnut and stollen slice will amend for the savoury mishap, we hoped. We were being positive because we had paid the kind of money for this lunch that would normally grant something quite sepcial. Yet, the doughnut dough was tough and filled with too mcuh sickly jam and the Stollen was simply too sweet, with no 'bread' taste to temper the almond paste and dried fruit ususally assoicated with that special Germanic christmassy taste. Anyhow, I hate to give bad reviews, but we felt ripped off by something that appeared to be something it is not. The logo for 'Wills' is incredibly like the logo for 'Bill's' (the extremely succesful and creative veg shop/cafe chain) and sounds strangely similar too. The prices and decor imply that one might receive something of an upmarket quality, rather than a good normal bakers price. Yet the sandwich and cakes were below good. the doughnut ended up in the bin, the rest was tolerated because we were very hungry!We won't be visiting again, which is a shame, as something liek this can be so good for a village and for people who live and work around it. .

Such a nice friendly little place for a light lunch. Lovely food and very good tea and coffee. Fresh bread and cakes as well as daily specials. Can thoroughly recommend the all day breakfast.

Regularly pop into this bakery for a weekend treat, lovely selection of food The homemade soup has been delicious on the times I had it, proper homemade soup!

The staff are helpful and pleasant ,service good ,food hot and tasty quality ingrediients,good place to eat if visiting Great Dixter.

Nice coffee but having been in catering for so long I’m always on the look for good hygiene practices , unfortunately I saw a young lady serving a customer with a BLT which she used her fingers to put the bacon in the roll then...

We recently stayed at a barn conversion for a week in Northiam. How lucky were we to find that Will's was our local bakery. We purchased their lovely cakes (particularly liked the Lemon Drizzle cake) Also their bread & rolls were perfectly delicious.

Returning from Cranbrook and saw this bakery/cafe. Ordered cooked breakfast and my wife had poached egg breakfast. Excellent service and food. Proper pot of tea. Bought loaf of granary and quiche from bakery. Very tasty. Will be back.

Tuvimos un desayuno encantador aquí además de una tarta para más tarde que eccles fue el mejor que he probado. Personal estupendo también. Northiam es muy afortunado de tener esta joya.

Estábamos viajando a través de centeno en día y encontré esta joyita de panadería y cafetería. Nos recibió el dueño, que tomó su pedido rápidamente. La comida era fresca y la tienda muy concurrida mostrando lo popular fue pasando y gente local. Podríamos de sentarme, pero elegido para sentarse fuera al otro lado de la carretera en un pueblo muy limpio y ordenado. Si estamos en la zona de nuevo vamos a entrar de nuevo.

Una fantástica Pastelería/cafetería en el centro de un pequeño pueblo- ojalá viviese en Northiam - un fantástico lugar enclavado en el pueblo para todos. Teníamos un gran desayuno - huevos revueltos, salchichas, sandwiches en pan tostado, tuve el nogal sourdough con huevos revueltos y bacon. Mmmmmm estaba delicioso, 3 placas aclaró más tarde! En el delicioso que drooled pastas, pasteles y tartas, ya que la izquierda - lo recomiendo altamente. Una única recomendación, algunos molinillos de pimienta en la mesa sería bueno.

Tomamos un desayuno-almuerzo allí, esperando el autobús de vuelta a Hastings. Realmente apreciamos la comodidad del lugar, la cordial bienvenida. Tienen una increíble variedad de repostería deliciosa que lamento no tener tiempo para probarlo. Pero el más delicioso desayuno inglés completo.

I have to agree with a previous reviewer about the Scotch Eggs - husband snarfed his is record time and went for mine. Every time I am in Northiam I make a point of visiting Will's Bakery - last week I majored on meringues, which my husband described as even better than his mum's. (Didn't mention mine funnily enough...)If you are passing through this is a great little cafe, the food is superb and the service is great.

I've been stopping at Will's for several years to pick up a strong, fresh coffee, or take out a home made roll/sandwich stuffed with one of their fresh, tasty fillings, made to order. Or a freshly baked pastry, savoury, slice of cake - or some other treat from their wide and constantly changing range of goodies.Conveniently situated on the A28 at Northiam, the quality of Will's fare, and staff, is second to none. Seating is available if you prefer to eat in. Also available is a loo, which is worth knowing these days.I can guarantee that once you've tried them, you'll be hooked!

Often popping in to meet fellow school mums for a late lunch or afternoon tea if we have time to kill for the Dentist. Always a lovely warm greeting from the staff, really good quality sandwiches, cakes, bread etc.

It was cold and miserable outside and we were waiting for our lift, Saturday January 14.The lovely ladies who were about to close took us in from the cold and made us tea.Real leaf tea with a pot and strainer.We bought some lovely food items.The ladies were so lovely they even offered us a lift to my car.We shall certainly return.

my husband and I (how very grand we sound) live just outside the village and have passed Will's Bakery on numerous occasions and never stopped, that is until today, a grey and dank new years eve and we walked from home to the local shop for the paper and on the way home, stopped and treated ourselves to an egg and bacon doorstep sandwich and a latte, we were greeted by very friendly staff, service with a smile and more, we were waited on at a table, always a bonus and had a lovely relaxing sandwich & coffee before heading home, the bakery itself is a tardis and offers a variety of food and drinks as well as selling cards which are slightly different to the big chain cards, little gifts, the whole place is a little gem and well worth a visit if you're ever in the area, we shall definitely be stopping there again

If. Ever. U. Try. The. Amazing. Large. Scotch. Eggs. They. Are. So. Yummy. The. Cakes. Are. Too. Nice. All. The. Food. Is. Very. Fresh. Reasonable. Prices. .well. Worth. A. Visit

Small and friendly cafe, freshly made sandwiches and soups as well as a whole host of pastries and cakes. Don't leave without a scotch-egg, simply the best! Good, wholesome food at reasonable prices. Great place to meet up for coffee/lunch or to unwind.

Droppped by there yesterday for coffee and sandwich, although the coffee is a little strong we did enjoyed our tuna sandwich...

Wills is my husband and My guilty pleasure ! We pop in at least once a month on a Saturday . The breakfast menu is yummy , the sandwiches all freshly made , it's difficult to choose what to eat because it's all scrumptious , the cakes and pastries are also worth the extra calories , Devine !!! To add to it all , the staff are so warm and friendly , nothing is a problem for them . Thank you Wills .?Lorraine and " I'm on a diet " Gavin Hope !!

I have been to Wills many times, the coffe and food is very good and the owner and staff are very friendly and helpful. Give it a go.

Great scotch eggs and good lady Polish baker. Good staff friendly. Nice Cafe. You can sit outside too.

Lovely bakery, fresh baked cakes and bread. Would end up 10 ton tess if I lived nearer!! What a little gem

Were passing through Northiam and stopped at this wonderful bakery for sandwiches and coffee, both were freshly made for us and we're delicious

This is still the best place in Sussex for a lovely cup of tea. Real taste and real tea leaves. Very friendly staff.

I visited Will's with my Grandad and was pleasantly surprised. The food was lovely, reasonably priced and served beautifully. There was also a very good selection of vegetarian items, which was nice for a relatively small bakery. Would definately recommend and visit again.

Thank you to all the staff at Will's. We were a group of 14 cyclists visiting from San Fairy Ann CC and had reserved tables outside. The staff were very friendly, attentive and prompt in their service. Lovely food and good sized portions. Excellent 'Flat White' for those who needed a caffeine boost. We will certainly be back.

My daughter treated me to breakfast before we caught the bus to go shopping in Tenterden , this place is small but really nice we had the cooked breakfast it was yummy and I was stuffed

A really nice venue for a meet....a few tables in a warm welcoming atmosphere where you can enjoy home made and freshly made rolls, cakes etc and fine coffee

My family and I recently visited Will's bakery for lunch, there were 4 of us and we turned up late in the afternoon, although a bit was sold out due to our timing there was still plenty of yummy things to choose from, I had potato and leek soup and a bacon, brie and cranberry panini, the soup came with a fantastic selection of bread and was so delicious, I really didn't need the panini as well but it was so good... The setting is lovely here too it's beautifully decorated with pretty pictures and little trinkets, nice and cozy. I managed to buy a lovely card for Mother's Day and some chocolate for my dad, we also got some take away cakes and cookies which I can highly recommend. All-in-all a fabulous bakery with lots of delicious treats for all, you must pop in if passing.

A little local cafe in Northiam. Perfectly ok but nothing special and somewhere you can go to have a tea/coffee and a snack.

I collect my Grandson from a local school on Friday afternoons, so have been going to Wills Bakery countless times over the last 3 years.It can probably only accomodate 20 people maximum, but is always spotlessly clean.Never a visit without a welcoming smile.Depending on time available I will have a light hot meal, a freshly prepared roll or sandwich with a really nice salad, or sometimes a pastry or homemade scone.And "proper" coffee.An excellent and relaxing break from the 90 minute drive into Northiam and a great preparation for the 2 hour drive home

It's just really nice place to have great coffee & good food. All the staff are friendly, welcoming & efficient.

Enjoyed breakfast at Will's - a really delicious and generous fry=up. Good coffee - but limited seating space so you may have to wait a little. Clearly used by locals as well as tourists - a recommendation in itself.

Popped in finally today, we have driven past a number of times meaning to stop, and did today. Wills is a quaint little cafe and bakery, we had lunch and both the food and service was amazing, the staff are good with small children and very accommodating. After we had eaten we also purchased items from the bakery and felt the price was incredibly reasonable for what we had, shame it isn't closer really, the manager would have regular trade if they decided to expand with another branch in Hastings. A real gem and we will definitely be returning.

Decided to try this Restaurant with my wife and her Brother and his wife. Although very limited for space we had booked so no problems. Very good service and quality of food was excellent. Prices reflect the food and I can recommend the Bread Pudding warmed up.

We like it here living fairly local. We do wish the owner would be more friendly though. It has taken us years to even get her to acknowledge us and smile. Staff seem a lot friendlier when she is not around. Lovely and cosy, food good and service is very good. Not so good for our diets though...That attention to detail seems to have slipped a little recently.

My partner and i were killing time before meeting someone! So we decided to have a cuppa and stumbled upon this lovely little cafe! Its also a bakery and everything looked delicious!The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and shabby chic! The ladies running it were so friendly and accommodating! Nothing was too much trouble!A simple lunch was fresh and tasty, and much enjoyed!Should i ever be this way again....Wills will be top of the list!!

Will's is a local cafe to where i work in Northiam, i have found the staff to be very friendly and helpful, the food is of good quality and good value.

Have used the cafe quite a few times since moving to the area - mostly for take away but a couple of times to eat in. The staff are friendly, food and service is really good and there are some really nice gifts and goodies for sale too. Probably the only down side is that the venue is quite small so you may be pushed to get a table.

Visited several times and always great.Excellent coffee, wondeful tasty pastries, cakes and scones, plus more.Very friendly lovely staff.What more do you need.

We were staying in Bodiam and some friends had recommended that we look this place up - so glad that we did.Went at around 2pm and managed to get a table to eat-in. Breakfast was still available (which is what we both really wanted having read the reviews) and they offer coffee in a cafetiere to share which was a nice touch. Coffee was smooth and not too strong, and the breakfast was delicious. Locally produced sausages were really tasty and toasted freshly made bread was also a treat! Staff were friendly and service was quick given how busy they were. There are a few comments on here regarding price, but we thought it was really reasonable. Especially when we counted four staff... I run a small cafe and know that this is where the lions share of the £££s go, and less staff equals slower service - nobody wants that. Couldn't resist a piece of tiffin to take away. The perfect sweet treat after a yummy (late!) breakfast. Definitely recommend!
