“Super yummy food and deserts”

Restaurant details
Reviewed 26 February 2020

The Upper Dicker Village Shop & Cafe is our go-to place for a lovely lunch and wonderful deserts at the weekend. The welcome is always warm, the atmosphere is very social and you get a strong community feeling. People know each other and there are many happy hellos. The food and drinks menu offers a great variety. The food is great for vegetarians, vegans and others alike. There is also a great children's choice, and there are always great specials on the board as well. If you still have room for more after your filling main, the desert selection is very yummy. You won't regret it.

Popped in here on our way to Eastbourne for a spot of breakfast. Absolutely delicious and made even better by the friendly staff. If there could be any feedback I could give other than fabulous and we’ll definitely be back it’s that the toast came already buttered. My error for not asking for dry toast. I’d like to know where I can buy the sausages as they were extremely tasty.

What a great find the Village Shop and cafe is. We went there today for a Sunday breakfast after being recommended by friends. We both had the Big Dicker breakfast. Substituting Fried Bread for Toast was not a problem at all. The Cafe was licensed, so the temptation was to be decadent and have a red wine with breakfast - Sadly my wife persuaded me that I should exchange the word 'decadent' with 'raging alcoholic', so I stuck with coffee, and an excellent coffee it was. Also on offer was lunch served until 1430 - A cosy, well managed, cafe, where you dont feel ripped off with the costs. Also, I should mention local produce bacon, eggs and sausages. All round excellent.
