Wish Park Cafe' in Brighton and Hove

Staff are rude and arrogant. And aggressive. Absolutely disgusted with the treatment received here. I would not recommend to anyone. I feel staff required training for customer service and communication skills. Vile staff.

Such a fabulous cafe. The food is super fresh and tasty and as you can see from the photos there is a vast choice. The coffee and cakes are both top notch. We liked the little bikes and the pedal cars they put out for children to play with. The staff are very happy and the prices for the quality of the food are very good. There is inside and outside seating. The park often has a football match or cricket match going on but it’s so big if it’s not your thing you can easily avoid it. There is also a very nice children’s play park. Plus the park has clean public loos . Well worth a trip 😎

Such a shame, this place does lovely sandwiches but their English breakfast was dreadful. Real transport cafe poor ingredients! There’s so much better about

Good food Good value for money Good service Very friendly staff Good choice of food Great for family young and old

Second time visiting this cafe whilst my son plays a football fixture at the park. Food is fantastic, wide range and well priced. The coffee is great and the service fabulous!

Everything is good about this cafe. There's a really good children's play area nearby, arranged roughly by age group (what a good idea), easy on-street parking beside the park, and lots of trikes, scooters, and ride-on toys for the little ones to use. The cafe is super, good coffee, really nice food. I had a fish-finger/horseradish and watercress sandwich - delicious, - my wife had a tuna-melt on chiabatta - also delicious, - and our granddaughter had fish fingers and beans and toast, the toast on a separate plate, everything beautifully prepared, sensible plates for the little one. The service was very friendly and caring, the prices very reasonable, a nice seating area, partly shaded. Altogether excellent.

Visited here for a delicious breakfast, very reasonably priced too and the staff were lovely. We were also here for a toddlers birthday party at the back of the cafe,the table was laid out beautifully and the kids lunch was really generous and nicely laid out. Highly recommended for those with small children.

I would just like to say how friendly & helpful the staff are at this lovely cafe. It has yummy food. I've been here numerous times recently & I will continue to return. Thank you 😊

We came on a lovely hot day and placed our blanket next to the cafe they have lots of bike,cars and see saw outside their cafe for the children to play. I ordered roasted peppers, chorizo and tomato salad on chiabatta (not spelt right) bread it was amazing so delicious and plenty on my plate My two children ordered sausage sandwich when it came it was just a sandwich it had along side it carrot and cucumber sticks and strawberries 🍓 Really lovely polite staff who helped us with anything we needed x Would definitely return x

Brilliant little cafe. The food is excellent and the staff super friendly. Please go and enjoy a visit there.

We got off to a bad start with our order being taken by the unsupervised "new girl" and it came out wrong. However, the management was quick to rectify and we had an enjoyable lunch. Nice cakes too. There was a "tea dance" going on outside after lunch and that was a fun spectacle.

If you are looking for a place with exceptional service with a smile and great home made food then theres no other than the Wish Park Cafe. We recently booked the cricket green and had the pleasure of lunch prepared by Carla and her wonderful team. Lovely people with a friendly service. Great food appropriate for the occasion. Highly reccommended!

The coffee is good quality and the home made cakes are always delicious. Perfect place for lazy breakfast/lunch while the kids play.

We arrived for an afternoon of music and dance at The Wish Cafe and what a joyful cafe it is with fresh cream teas,homemade cakes,sandwiches,salads,light hot meals,with a variety of beverages to go. A most enjoyable afternoon and the Dancing wasn't bad either.

This cafe is one the best things about living in Hove. Certainly one of the best places for coffee and cake (they are all home made by Carla) and the menu is very good and varied and excellent value. The kids menu is varied too so this makes it the ideal place for families with the playground and playing field on the doorstep.The main reason we visit though is Carla. She owns and runs the business with Mark her partner and her warm and genuine personality have made many locals her regular customers. They also have events from time to time such as Meet the Owls and Jazz Sunday. It is such a great location to sit and have coffee or a bite to eat and a totally inspired idea to open a cafe here. You are always assured of a warm welcome and an excellent cup of coffee. I recently found out that they serve the same brand of coffee as Selfridges. Not surprising really!

I play football at wish park and this cafe is perfect for meeting or after to wind down. Great snacks at affordable prices and the staff are super friendly. So much so i frequently walk down and have a coffee out in the fresh air, although seating is available inside too!

Me and my family went to the park and saw the cafe and we thought we would try it and the food was lovely and the service was quick and the staff were very friendly x

We sat outside in the sun on Sunday with our dog having breakfast in the middle of the park. Although we had to wait a while due to the football rush we had the most delicious breakfast. The bubble and squeak is to die for. Loved the toasted sour dough too rather than just boring old toast! The cup of tea was really well made too! We will be going again especially as there is now more in doors seating.

i belong to a tennis club and for a while now 2 or 3 times a week we go to this cafe for brunch after a game. The food is amazing quality and very good value. The soups are tasty. Everything homemade. The staff are always cheerful and polite. Lovely 'touches' often given a free fill up of our pot of tea. Free cake tastes when Carla has some left over. Easy to park. I always recommend this excellent cafe which really cares for its customers. Pleased to see they are making space inside so we can continue to eat there in the .winter. Excellent fresh food and amazing cheerful service.

Esta es una fantástica alternativa, a los numerosos anónima cafés de cadena que ofrece deliciosos pasteles, comidas y bebidas en un lugar encantador en el parque. Perfecto para familias, especialmente como se puede se dispersarán por los céspedes y meter a un té de la tarde en una manta de picnic ...

The weather has not been that great but pleased to say this cafe continues to be great. That is great :-FoodStaffPricesEventsI am amazed more people have not bothered to review the place as it should be much higher than its current listing in Hove. I can only assume this down the quantity of reviews!They are also well involved with the local community with their events.SF

This nice little cafe has now extended its range to include live music on selected Sundays during this summer to add to their summary atmosphere of being on the edge of a popular park with cricket being played

Great value cafe with excellent food that definitely adds something to Wish Park. The cafe also works hard to benefit the local community via free music events etc..

I reviewed in the summer just wanted to pass on how great it is that they have managed to have the cafe open so much this winter.Service and offering still great.I have no idea what planet aybn41 is on !! The prices are amazingly reasonable the quality is great and working out whether to open or not on a cold wet winter weekend -knowing how fickle the great British public are at supporting any small business - must be a nightmare for the operator!Carry on Wish Park CafeSF

Much needed cafe in Wish Park, makes going to the park a much more enjoyable experience! The coffee is great, the staff are friendly and the prices are very reasonable.

I took all of my children (3) to wish park yesterday,the play area was quite busy as it was a lovely sunny day.I brought them all an Ice cream from the café as they had been running around playing,the young lady that served us was very friendly and attentive and also the café prices are very reasonable. Being a chef I had a look at their main menu and there is some nice seasonal dishes on it,these are also very reasonable and I was tempted to stay with my children and have dinner in the parkBut unfortunately we had to leave to take my eldest son home,but I`m sure we will return in the very near future.

The opening of Carla's cafe has transformed the experience of using Wish Park, we have to as both our sons are football mad, so we do the Saturday drop in football with West Hove Dynamos (which incidentally is also great).They serve excellent quality locally sourced produce with an interesting menu that changes, at very reasonable prices.The service is great and would seem to be permanently cheerful.I would say that the council were extremely fortunate to have Carla take the site on as it has totally transformed the experience of using Wish Park.Now also has free Wifi, even better.Could not recommend too highly!!SF

Lovely cafe, lovely staff, lovely food, lovely location , lovely atmosphere, very lovely homemade cakes, lovely coffee = lovely review

Coffee good, food hit and miss. We've set off to go there so many times on a sunny week end only to find it closed that we've given up trying. Except the other day, when passing we noticed it open. It's in a lovely location. Great for sitting in the park in the sun watching sports games going on around and the little kids playground was a favourite for years - even better now there's a cafe. But they need to be consistent in opening days.

What great home made cakes! The carrot cake was amazing! Staff friendly , and drinking coffee in a quiet park , really nice place.

Lovely cakes. Beautiful coffee and very friendly staff! Very nice tea and coffee. Fast service. Would strongly reccomend to anyone

What a shame aybn41 didn't like the little cafe. My friend took me here as she has been before. The owner Carla was very welcoming and so friendly with the children. I had a lovely cake, homemade by Carla which was absolutely delicious. The staff were very friendly and I will certainly be back to try the rest of the menu which was comprehensive and looked lovely. A great addition to the park , which also has a great play area too.

Sitting out on a nice decked area with a steaming coffee, eating a home made cup cake in the autumn sunshine...what's not to like?! All the cakes are home made, and I have enjoyed every one I've tried. The staff are friendly & welcoming to all.

Great place to have a lovely coffee or a bite to eat , the breakfasts are amazing and the people who work there are really friendly and welcoming , highly recommended .Pet friendly as well and there is a swing park within eyeshot for the kids .

Very expensive for a converted changing rooms in a tatty park in Hove.They have a long way to go to go to bring themselves to the level of pricing they have adopted

What a little gem! Wonderful staff, excellent food and great atmosphere. 5 stars and definite thumbs up from me.
