Driftwood Cafe

Lovely visit there today whilst exploring new Brighton. Lovely cafe, friendly staff and a fab sausage, egg and chips

This is how it’s done! The cafe has been there ten years which is plenty of time to perfect things - and boy have they! From the warm greeting when you arrive (they seem to know all of their regulars by name) to the great food - it’s all spot on. Service is quick but still personal. The food is, of course, the main event. It’s a decent menu but what’s on there is just superb quality - for example, the cheese is clearly very mature (not cheap) and plenty of it; no corners are cut. Dog friendly.

Called here yesterday and we were so impressed. When we looked inside the tables were either occupied or reserved but we were offered a table in the courtyard at the back. Was a very hot day but we were under big parasols so it was lovely. Our order was taken promptly even though they were very busy and the food was delicious. We had the small fish and chips which was just a nice size for us. The staff were all absolutely lovely and we will definitely be back. Read on another review that you can sit outside when it's cold and they bring blankets, definitely doing that!

One of our favourite places for a substantial snack / lunch: real home-made chips, good portions of everything served promptly. Fresh eggs and amazingly good home made milkshakes 😋 Bit worried about being too enthusiastic as it's only a small space and we might not get a table if it gets too popular!

Lovely, cosy cafe, delicious food n great service. We had two Tuna cheddar cheese n red onion melt on ciabatta bread & salad n fish & chips mushy peas. Strawberry milkshake n pot of tea. I recommend booking as it's very popular. Will definitely return again😊

Had a wonderful, freshly cooked breakfast on a piping hot plate, with lovely fresh tea, served in a proper Delph tea pot . I visited on a Sunday morning just off a flight from Dublin, and it was a lovely old school type of English cafe with very good friendly efficient staff,,, well done Driftwood cafe,, this will be a place I will definitely visit again soon.

I had gone for a long walk before stopping here for a bite to eat. It was quite busy at the time, but I was able to get a table and I was served quickly. I went for the Welsh rarebit and an Oreo milkshake with cream, and it was bloody lovely. Would come here again at some point.
