“ Excellent. Really nice place, good food, good service, lovely location, can't complain! ”
“ We went for lunch at this cafe on recommendation of a friend as it is dog friendly. What a pleasant experience, all the staff cane and greeted our three greyhounds and chatted to us. Food was excellent and service very good. Will certainly be going back. ”
“ After a long walk at Rye Harbour Nature Reserve this is the perfect place to stop off and re-fuel. A typical English cafe. Great choice of food including vegetarian and children’s options. Eat in or take away. Honest prices for food and drink. We have eaten here a few times and have never been disappointed. Its right next to the RNLI Lifeboat station. Full English fast sets you up for the day. The sausages and mash was a huge portion for the money. They try and source all the produce from local suppliers. Easy parking, fast service and as I said before a typical old English cafe. ”
“ Lovely spot there really chilled. Staff are super nice they gave me another sandwich after a seagull nicked half of mine! Highly recommended! ”
“ 5th visit to Rye Harbour, happened to pop in for the first time, always managed to get the timing wrong and just closed etc... Luckily they could seat the 4 of us for breakfast, the staff and attention was welcoming and friendly... The Cafe is rustic, but, clean, plus the Covid regs were also adequately in place and observed... Must say, we all had the large breakfast (Inc drink) in preparation for our journey home, and, it was delicious! Well done!! No complaints from us all, even the dog benefitted from an uneaten sausage and bit of toast... I'd knocked up a few breakfasts over the past few days, they were half decent, this one at Bosun's Bite, different class, spot on, and food value too! Definitely be back for more if we're in the area. Yum yum! ”

“ Had all day breakfast here yesterday after a morning spent walking the beach. Perfect spot for a good hearty full English breakfast. Sat outside to enjoy the sunshine but plenty of tables inside. Simple, straightforward menu, that is reasonably priced. Variety of hot and cold drinks and some amazing looking cakes that I will have to go back and try another time !! ”
