The staff at Hikers Rest are friendly, welcoming, and helpful. They serve tasty coffee and delicious-looking cakes. The restaurant has indoor seating, a terrace, and a couple of tables on the village green where dogs are allowed. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in this charming village. View all feedback.
What bohogirl doesn't like about Hikers Rest:
Popped in end October with hubby for a quick lunch on a gorgeous sunny Sunday, it was busy in East Dean really lovely so we were pleased to find a table outside in the sun. Just a snack, drinks but I had a lovely large vegan salad with beetroot I think and it was delicious, perfect. Would definitely return! View all feedback.
It is located in a beautiful spot. However, it is quite dark inside with its dark blue walls. A very empty cold place and not warm or comfortable. It is very hollow sounding. The glass cabinets are all empty and very dusty inside and outside. The counter area is also very untidy. The cabinet with the sausage rolls and other items can just about be seen through the dirty glass. Again there is still the smell of dogs due to decent floor cleaning NOT being done on a daily basis. I would not recommend this establishment any more. Did not go to the toilet as I feared that they would be dirty in accordance with the rest of the Cafe. There should be clear notice that dogs are allowed and may be inside. The approach to the entrance was disgraceful and in need of a good sweep and tidy up.
Very beautiful location, staff were helpful, not a lot of outside seating, cream tea was lovely. friendly which is always a bonus.
Been here a few times as my family live in the village , the food is quite good and the service pretty slow but I'm never really in a rush when I come here but the thing I really dislike about this place is the dingy atmosphere and the dirty dusty glass display cabinets that should be thrown out .
Great cafe in this quaint Sussex village. Good range of food (hot cold, breakfast til 12:30) and great value, we felt (for eggs Benedict, cake, hot drinks). Could do with a touch more proactive cleaning/clearing generally but very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend.
I recently went here for a wake. It was a lovely village setting with great food. Great for hikers. Easy to find and lots of parking.
