Big Beach Cafe - Brighton and Hove

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great place As a wheelchair user it’s great they have added recently an extra bit of rubber to the door to make it easier to get in It was super busy today (it was Lagoon fest) there wasn’t a long wait though for the food and the Vegan burger was great!
