First thing I noticed, asking for tip! I tip if service is good, no even asked if my food was OK and I was happy, every cafe in Eastbourne I've been in has asked but not here and they ask you to tip? Food was hot beans and tomatoes burning hot from the microwave, I asked for hard eggs, they looked like they had been ran over!
Rosie Lee is definitely not for me!

Thank you David for your review. Delighted that you enjoyed your experience at The Rosy Lee !
It’s ok apart from the lads on the table next to us who were very load with not so nice language.
We had to wait 30 mins for food even though they were not busy.
Sorry won’t be back.

Been to Eastbourne a few times now from London it’s a nice little get away tried quite a few cafes in the area but have definitely found our favourite by far! Staff are friendly welcoming and there is a real family feel to the place. Nice touches - little bit of history on the menus, lots of alternatives available, two noisy munchkins on another table (very cute) ldy brought them colouring books and pencils to help them quieten down a little and let their parents eat in peace with no prompting AND proper tea!!! Excellent quality of burger with real cheese not burger cheese! Cheese on toast with beans just home made perfection !!! (I’m pregnant and really fussy at the moment) Nicest thing I have eaten in ages totally hit the spot. Looking forward to the next trip down for another yummy meal out at a very decent price. £19 for four drinks and two meals !

Great place for a full English breakfast or a classic lunch. Steak, Guinness and onion pie is amazing.

Never had a bad experience in this café, great staff, best breakfast in Eastbourne and delicious pies, all home-made, along with lots of other traditional café food, even open on Sundays until 1 pm, and great value for money, I think it’s the best café in town, and well worth a run down Seaside Road!

This is a really great café, one of my favourites anywhere! The service is really friendly, a real home from home feeling. Everything is cooked fresh, and to order, I normally go for breakfasts, the bacon and sausages are great quality, portion sizes are generous, and it’s great value for money. The breakfasts are so good but sometimes I try other items such as the home-made pie which is particularly good and also really satisfying comfort food such as Welsh Rarebit. Lovely home-made crumbles for pudding - all in all a true traditional cafe with good quality home-cooked food.

Visited on Sunday 03/09/2023. I had a medium breakfast.
Presentation spot on. Great taste. Excellent value for the price paid. Real coffee was a bonus.
