EAST DEAN
ABOUT US
Located in lovely grade 2 listed barn alongside the beautiful green in the village of East Dean, on the South Downs Way, the Hikers Rest is the perfect stop off for coffee, cake, cream teas, brunch or a light lunch.
With plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, both on the green and in a private courtyard, we open all year round providing a warm welcome for the local community, walkers and visitors to Beachy Head and Birling Gap.
There is plenty of free parking only metres away and the cafe is fully accessible with a large indoor space or you can sit outside overlooking the green or on our garden terrace. .
Since taking over in 2020 we have made a lot of changes. We have introduced a substantial breakfast and lunch menu and are now cooking and baking all of our food on-site.
Our aim is to ensure we cater for anyone visiting the area whether they want a main meal, a light lunch or a sweet treat. The result is that we now have a huge number of people who visit us regularly, as well as those being about to cater for families or large groups visiting the area.
We pride ourselves on quick, friendly and professional service and are delighted to have a settled experienced team.
