Castle Cottage Tearoom - Pevensey

A trip back to the 50s, a fabulous tea room, and somewhere we will definitely be going back to. Home-made cakes that remind you of home and childhood.

A charming place! We went for coffee and ended up having a cream tea. But they had a good variety of traditional cakes. The scone was good, although we would have preferred if they had had homemade clotted cream. But we enjoyed our cream tea anyway. The staff were lovely, from first to last. Very polite and attentive. The place was like being at home but in the past. Very tasteful, taking care of every detail. The plates, the cups, the way the food is served, ... It was a bit cool to have a drink in the garden would have been a pleasure too. Totally recommendable!

What a fantastic place. We came down to do a walk on the Pevensey Levels and round the Castle and had lunch here before we set off. I had cheese scones with chutney and cream cheese and it was amazing! My wife had Toasted Sandwich that was also great and wonderful pot of tea. Everyone there was so friendly and found out it opened as a tea room in 1874! Everything about it is perfect and the cheese scones reminded me of the ones my Grandmother used to make! We will return many times :

Visited with friends, coffee, and tea review, okayish! Cakes were very good, but when we requested slices of cake to buy to take home we were told, 'no as may be needed for cafe customers '? Not suitable for wheel chair users because of steps and irregular garden paths. Seating in garden, and toilet in garden for all customers. After your visit, take time to look at the old items in room by exit. Car parking available, but beware 'you have to pay '. Find time to walk around. and inside the Castle.....you will have to bring your imagination in! Lot of history in and around Pevensey. Don 't forget to have a look at the Old Mint House in the High Street.

Lovely little place for tea and cake. Look out for poetry crockery and also the unusual salt and pepper Pots. It is quite tiny but on sunny days there are tables outside right under the castle walls. Then we come to the tea and coffee which were very good but outshone by the cakes. There were even glutton and dairy free ones. Don't miss it.
