Riverside Cafe Bar - (Near East Sussex, South East)

2 /5 Kemal Akdag: Bread looks dry and slightly tough. Also you can see the photo it’s a moldy Vegetable fritter appears under-seasoned and crumbly. Mushrooms look overly oily or rubbery. Hummus is separating and looks like it came from a tub, not freshly made. Egg and tomato on the second plate seem not clean the grill and sad. Pita bread or flatbread also looks dry and chewy rather than soft or warm.

5 /5 j: A slightly surprising thing about Lewes is that there arent that many places where you can get a light lunch - so its always good to find one. We stopped off here for lunch on Saturday - soup of the day was cream of mushroom (with a choice of white, wholemeal or sourdough bread); Mrs J had poached eggs on toast. Decent coffee, very good all round, total just over £20. Its nice to know that this is a good lunchtime option for something snacky/brunchy. They do paninis, sandwiches, salads, baked potatoes, all day breakfasts, that sort of thing - though there are also a few more substantial items available. Regarding reservations - not sure you can. Im sure at times you would have to wait for a table - thats why you want options. We were there around noon on a Saturday and had no problem finding a table.

1 /5 Rebekah Fisher: Do not eat here! I ordered a brie, spinach and chutney panini for £7. Already expensive but made worse by the meagre filling. I returned one half (photographed) as it had half a slice of brie, one spinach leaf and not even filled with chutney. The half I ate was marginally improved by an extra spinach leaf. I hate complaining, but I had to say something about this. The staff were very understanding but unfortunately were unable to offer anything other than a shrug and that this is how they are told to make it. I didnt requeat a refund as Id eaten half of it and one was not offered. The manager or owner really needs to make some changes here. Its pretty shocking for 7 quid! If youre in lewes and hungry I recommend going next door to here, to the bakery and buying a lovely bagel or roll for 3.75 (which I did afterwards).

4 /5 Dalin: the portion is really big, i couldn’t finish it by myself so i took it home. the taste is a bit bland, but overall everything is ok

5 /5 Mahesha Rice: We had a wonderful brunch at Riverside Cafe Bar and absolutely loved it! Both kids and adults were really happy with the food... there’s such a great variety of options to choose from. The smoothies were incredible, so fresh and delicious. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the view of the river from the windows made it even more special. A lovely place to relax and enjoy good food. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
