Big Beach Cafe - Menu

I stopped by this place in the afternoon for a coffee and a bacon sandwich. The coffee was great, the food was really tasty, and it was excellent value. They charge a third less than some other places. I will definitely be returning soon for their big brunch!

The best bacon and egg sandwich I've ever had, paired with a delicious decaf cappuccino. My wife loved her avocado spread on ciabatta. The cafe was busy but the service was good. The bathrooms were also nice. Thank you. P.S. This review may be a duplicate entry.

Poor attitude from barista. Food was great, just shame about the poor service and COVID rules not clear. Kids running around and nothing was said. No signs about whether it was table service or if you had to go to the bar to order. Very poor. Would not visit again.

Really disappointing. Cafe looked good community vibe, supporting fundraising sleep out for homeless charity, other people’s kids and dogs obviously welcome but lunch was appalling! Calamari was over cooked and crunchy and I wasn’t even sure all the pieces had ever met a squid. And I had to remind the waitress I’d paid for a side salad. Good location. Good community ethos. Poor food.

Hot drinks were very milky and tasteless. Sugar wasn’t brought with drinks, and when it arrived we still had to ask for a spoon to stir. Food was well presented, but rather bland. Cutlery wasn’t brought with food. The pink haired server was an absolute delight though, she’s the reason I’m not giving this place a 1 star review. The other lady kind of seemed a little overwhelmed, but it was quite a busy morning so I can’t blame her for that. All in all, I probably wouldn’t recommend Big Beach Café to foodies or people who like tasty hot beverages.

We had two vegan breakfasts yesterday morning and we were so pleasantly surprised!! The portions were really generous, but more importantly the food was AMAZING! Because we didn't want eggs, the waitress offered to swap the eggs for avocado for free (which never happens anywhere else they always charge extra! . I really cannot recommend this place highly enough. My favourite vegan breakfast in Brighton so far! The staff are also really friendly and lovely nothing was too much trouble. (Also they give out sausages for dogs which is a really nice touch our dogs love it here!!

We had an excellent meal. I had fish chips and a beer, while my wife had a smoked salmon bagel and a large glass of wine. The quality was very good. Service was friendly. The fish was so hot I nearly burned my mouth. Very impressive for the price. We sat outside on benches and could easily socially distanced, although the seagulls had to be watched! However, had we not read TA in advance, we would have walked by. It looks shabby and uninspiring. The menu outside is incomplete you need to look at the website. They clearly try to offer good quality food without frills at an affordable price and they succeed.

We had our first visit to the Big Beach Cafe and ordered four meals and a round of drinks. Unfortunately, there was a mistake made as our food was left outside to be collected while we were sitting inside waiting. By the time we realized, the food had gotten cold. We spoke to Ant, who was kind enough to offer us a full refund or full replacement. Ant went above and beyond in resolving the issue, offering to recook part of the food and provide a partial refund. To our surprise, he also gave us all four free drinks, including two alcoholic drinks. The service was fantastic, the food was delicious, and we almost felt guilty for complaining. We will definitely be returning in the future. Thank y...

This beach side cafe is sited next to the 'Hove Lagoon ', a largish sail boating, boarding, paddleboat lagoon, staffed by rather indifferent folk.... but there if you fancy getting wet! There is a fabulous shallow pool for the little guys adjacent to the cafe (free access) with a park of swings and slides.... and more expensive trampolines jumping castles and adult outdoor gym! All fenced in for safety and populated by 'many ' mums who can abandon their kids to the joy of being a kid! The cafe offers typical beachside fare as well as tea coffee cold drinks and ices. Staff appear to be somewhat overworked and are not as cheery as they could be to make the experience memorable, but they probab...
