East Beach Cafe Review

Lovely ice cream good value for money to and the beach was awesome.

Had mushrooms on toast whilst watching storm Ciara. Very nice food and friendly staff

Gorgeous building that works perfectly within the splendid setting. Great food and lovely service by manageress. Worth the travel.

Really cool architecture and looks out onto the water. Make sure to ask for a window seat when you book! They were pretty busy on 1 May so I think that's why service was pretty slow, but the food was good and the staff nice.

Decent food but very expensive. Was expecting the inside to be as lovely as the outside but instead it was very basic. Also annoying that they still use plastic straws.

Great food, the best fish and chips I've had in a long time, kids enjoyed it too.

Great food and handy I've cream stand on the end of the building. Plenty of outdoor seating but can be hard to sit indoors as it's so popular!

The architecture of this place makes it worth a visit. On approaching the cafe from the town it's form is organic and lies low to the ground, although it's rusted iron exterior gives a it an imposing feel. On reaching the beach side the building's aspect is transformed, a wall of glass revealing a bright and spacious dining room within.

The dinning room is long and narrow meaning you are never far from the view over the ever shifting view of the sky and the sea.

My party enjoyed every last piece of food, sampling at least 6 different fish dishes, all fresh and flavoursome. Prices were very reasonable and the staff warm and welcoming.

If you are within 20 miles of this place go!

Lovely beachside Cafe which was a welcome sight on a cold February day.

Lovely location and food was nice but overpriced. Most of the staff looked stressed and rushed although there seemed to be more than enough compared to how many tables were there.

Very helpful staff, great Flat White and superb service !

Fast service, excellent fresh food. Great view. Can't be faulted

This is my third trip here, absolutely love it. The fact its just over an hour from Clapham Junction, easy to get to. Had a little dip in the English Channel, warm sea but bit of a nip in the wind.

Very relaxing, lovely walk, shops and cafes, wish l had more time, but at least l was able to get away from London.

Standard fish and chips was nice, Fish was tasty, unusual building!

Normal fast food. They have long to wait for food with a small load and this is fast food. Expensive

Just picked up some hot chips and hot chocolate from the takeaway.

Not a bad cafe, and lovely views. A bit pricey and staff have come across a bit unfriendly in the past.

Staff were friendly and the coffee was nice but a food delivery had yet to arrive so choice of cakes was limited. Good toilets.

Very friendly and welcoming staff in a lovely environment by the sea. I had the pan fried hake and it was beautifully cooked. Initially I considered it a little expensive but after the meal I have to say it was well worth the money. A very nice place to enjoy some good food and drink the quality of which was matched only by the friendly staff, very fast and excellent service. Highly recommended.

Always a nice place for dinner. Menu could do with being changed more often.

The "middle class" choice on the sea front. Unfortunately its popularity has made things a little to chaotic. The food prices for kids options do seem like value but the standard menu is over priced for the quality, quantity and service. Nevertheless it is incredibly popular and booking is advised for weekends and sunny days.

Very busy maybe understaffed but the quality of the food was 1st class

Lovely food and great building. Worth a visit if you are anywhere near this spot. Much more than a cafe!

Ok if no where else to go . Chips cooked in old oil and tasted that way

Very cute cafe/restaurant, food is decent (burgers were nice, though meatball were pretty bad), right by the sea.

The inadequacies of this typical Heatherwick form over function indulgence are more than made up for by the quality of the food and service. Forget the supposed 'driftwood' appearance of the place - it looks like an elongated turd on the outside and a cheap Santa's ice-cave style grotto on the inside and as chilly too! Beer options: good. View: spectacularly wintry.

Interesting building. Delightful staff and excellent food

worth a visit - i had the breakfast sandwich.....lovely

Rude manager turned me away because I I was only buying a coffee - haven't gone back since.

Perfect location, good selection of food & drink. Pleasant staff. What more do you need

Interesting concepts food was ok but nothing to rave about and a bit pricey for what it was always intended to go there but being honest I won't go back

We used the take away, not the sit in restaurant part. Seats on the top of the beach by the promenade. Friendly staff but only brown sugar not white, and I am not a great fan. Good coffee though and a tray of lovely chips. Been here a good few times over a good few years and it has always been nice.

Wonderful food, wonderful architecture, all on the beach front! What more could you want?

Fantastic.views.....Have to keep it short or will go on forever.....Great boats...etc

the rusty bucket continues to excel, with a simple but imaginative menu, attentive staff and all set in a brilliant environment. I'd advise booking, as the place was full on a pretty miserable Sunday lunchtime. A main + coffee & pud worked out at around 25 quid per person, plus booze . Not a greasy spoon, basically.

Sell a decent range of food and drink... Dog ice-cream is a great treat for the dogs...

Lovely place but no toilets here there across the road shame about this

Like the cafe, could do with a coat of paint though. Interior decoration looks a bit tired.

lovely setting and Good food. perfect Sunday morning

Very disappointed as there was nowhere to shelter outside with a dog. Just benches to sit at in the rain. It looks much bigger in the photos.

We visited this restaurant with a Travelzoo deal. The owner and staff very very hospitable. They showed great flexibility over our ordering despite our having ' a deal'. The hake and mash was absolutely sublime. It's a great location with free evening parking outside. We would like to return sometime.

Terrible food and service. How can you justify 6 pounds for this?

Was pretty busy, which is a good thing, but slow on service and not very accurate working out the price of things, fortunately under rather than over and may have been for speed to help move the queue on at the take-away bar.

Lovely combo of contemporary art/architecture and a seaside cafe! The sweet treats are good. The parking is plentiful. And there's a takeaway portion if you don't want to sit in.
