The Holywell Tea Chalet / Cafe Restaurant in Eastbourne

Simple fare , but always fresh. Nice service prices good. 1 minute from the sea, however can get busy when sun comes out. Dog friendly and seems to block out the wind. Worth a coffee and scone.

Excellent place at the foot of beachy head to come for a cold drink or a full meal. So much to choose from lots of cakes , sandwiches, etc. Lovely fresh ice cream and lollys. The view from the garden are simply incredible really worth the walk along the promenade from Eastbourne. The staff are very helpful and friendly, can be quite a wait on a hot day but that's to be expected.

Lovely place hidden away to grab a bite to eat , varied menu clean and tidy , definitely eat and drink there again

Lovely place to stop for a tea, coffee, cold drink, or food. Very nice staff too. Usually busy.

I found it chaos & rowdy due to unruly kids screaming while I was waiting in the queue. The lady could not hear me because if the racket.I disapprove of people taking tables which are limited, before they order and/or paid for anything so when Ive ordered ( as I was solo), I cannot get a table as it was packed. This is despicable and goes on alot in Eastbourne. I did complain & have a few times in other cafes.It was rowdy outside due to badly behaved kids chasing the birds & dashound dogs yapping constantly.Don't come here, if you want somewhere quiet.Also dogs are banned inside the cafe accept guide dogs which I approve of. Its not hygienic.I tripped up over a small dog wrangling through the tables while I was carrying my tray of food and got a mouthful of abuse from a dog owner but demanded another drink paid by the dog owner.

This place was the bomb, great value, good selection

Coffee and cake,as good as always. Nice place to eat and drink. Reasonable prices.

Had a nice cool drink here on a hot day. Menu is good (although didn't mention iced coffee, fortunately I saw someone else having one and enquired!).Could do with signs requesting people don't sit at tables until their order has been placed, we ordered but then couldn't sit down because people who were with people further back in the queue had already sat down.

Fantastic scones, but don't feed the birds or leave food on the tables, as you will be mobbed by the Gulls and Jackdaws...

A lovely place, a quiet peaceful and a sanctuary to enjoy a tea, coffee, homemade lunch or ice cream.Plenty of seats or benches and a few cheeky gulls and crows waiting to tidy up. Well worth the walk from the main shopping beachfront areas. Cannot recommend it enough. Open all year round rain or shine!
