Location & Atmosphere
Pros:
"Set right on the beach with loads of seating outside and a large covered area makes this the perfect spot for a great lunch or coffee and cake."
"The perfect place to go for a coffee or lunch while it's a sunny day, take a seat looking out to sea and watch the world go by."
"Such a good place to stop and watch the world go by without being stuck in the wind and rain."
"Beautifully located at the seafront, this cafe offers delicious comfort food with stunning views of the beach."
"Beautiful view of goring beach."
"Lovely views of the Sussex riviera."
"Amazing location right on the sea with a lovely view."
Cons:
"When I said I don't want to be outside because it's too windy they rudly suggested to do takeaeay."
"The cafe has no wheelchair access."
"No good for disabled people as there are steps to get to the door level."
"FYI Not very accessible for those with mobility issues as there is a flight of stairs to enter the cafe."
"Down side I have to say are the toilets which aren't sea lanes. They are dank and horrible."
"Unfriendliest welcome ever. Matched only by the driest Belgian Bun."
"It's not the place for quiet reflection."

"The food was extremely fresh and tasty."
"The food was tasty and prepared well, served hot and promptly."
Cons:
"However, both me and my partner had dodgy tummy after eating a tuna melt at the Sea Lane Cafe."
"They definitely can't make a good latte. Often milk with a hint of coffee. So just warm milk then."
"Fish & Chips was stone cold in the middle, clearly not properly cooked and the fish was full of bones."
"Good portion sizes but the chips can be a bit 'dry' sometimes."
"The cod was very disappointing, very watery and tasteless."
"The standard of meal today was OK but not what I believe to be good value for money."
"Sadly it was full of flies."
Service

"Service was quick and very efficient."
Cons:
"Queued for 40 mins whilst holding my 7month old to order breakfast, finally got to the till and was told they had stopped doing breakfast."
"NOT dog friendly: luckily some kind customers offered to watch the dog for me."
"The only negative is the toilets; they're the public toilets and although they are clean enough, they're cold and have a very odd hand-washing machine."
"The only downside is limited seating inside but turnover seems to be quite quick."
"The only downside was the cutlery. They were not properly cleaned."
"Sometimes you do have to wait a little while to be served as the queue can get so big, but it's worth it!"
"Service is always a bit slow, but today we waited just over an hour to get a toasted sandwich."
Value
Pros:
"For 3 coffees and a large cake cost £15 which we thought was quite reasonable definitely recommend and will return."
"The portion sizes are huge and great value."
"The food here tastes and looks amazing, and are all reasonably priced."

"Plenty of free parking around the local roads as well as its own car park."
"The fish goujons and chips were tasty and the Bakewell tart was out of this world."
"Service is quick and the prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get."
Cons:
"Beware it's not cheap!"
"Ordered a small portion of chips were pleasant enough but at 2.75 was a little steep a large caramel latte and tea total was 8.95 so I would imagine having a meal for a family would run up a fair bill."
"Price is a bit steep for breakfast at £16."
"I’d say it’s pretty expensive though. Ordered 2 doubler breakfast baps which was £13.50 Average to good quality."
"My only reason I knocked off a star was like so many places the prices are far too high £3 for a bun!"
"It's pretty pricey (premium worth it for me for the beach side view, but not for all) so if you are counting the pennies it might not be the best shout."
"Just 2 cans of non cold coke, from the takeaway section. £5.00 / £2.50 for a 330 ml can of basic Coca-Cola! Really!"
