The business benefits from a strong and loyal local customer base, together with visitors drawn to the area thanks to excellent road and rail links to London, the Sussex coast and the South Downs. The café enjoys an outstanding reputation, with excellent reviews on Tripadvisor (5★), Google Reviews (4.8★) and Facebook (5★). A varied breakfast, brunch and lunch menu is offered during the day, complemented by extremely popular Italian evenings held once a month, which are consistently well supported.
