The Lookout Cafe — Restaurant in East Lindsey

Read loads of good reviews about this place, so as a late breakfast we decided to pop here with the family and the dog for a nice treat!

We nabbed a couple of bacon and sausage sandwiches, but our son fancied a crepe which they unfortunately didn't sell so nabbed one from just down the beach.

We're sitting outside with our son while we're finishing our sandwiches, then the lady at the cafe comes out, went to our son directly, and told him he couldn't eat his crepe - Saying "You can't eat it here, its MY tables, MY chairs" very rudely.

Initially couldn't tell if it was silly banter, but nope she was dead serious! Was shocked, heard such nice things about the staff!

They don't even sell crepes, and we'd bought two whole breakfast meals from them! It was just our son sitting with us, causing no harm, quietly to himself.

There were loads of spare seats and tables - It wasn't like he was taking up someone elses space!

He was just shocked, he has learning difficulties so he took it all rather personally. Its not peak season, there were loads of spare seats, not many people around, and he was causing zero inconvience - there was just no need for it.

Do they tell off kids eating ice creams they got from down the road while they sit with their parents who have bought bacon sandwiches? Its just a wee bit overzealous on a quiet Sunday morning!

The funny thing is, he was going to get a bacon sandwich from them for the road! Clearly after that he didn't!

Really tainted the last day of the holiday,...

Once again a lovely toasted bacon, egg and cheese sandwich at The Lookout Cafe. Our treat on the weekend after a long bicycle ride through the surrounding countryside. Great views and friendly owners. AND THEN……

After this review above, I wish to amend my review to read “shame on you”. Tried to order the toasted bacon, egg and cheese we have ordered successfully on multiple occasions (on bread as we don’t like rolls), only to be told they can’t make it for us as it’s summer holidays and they are way too busy. At that point there was one table outside and the cook was outside smoking. 4 slices of bread toasted with bacon and egg was all we asked for and you turned us away. Well done on your entrepreneurial skills. You won’t see us again, but you don’t seem to mind chasing people away. Got a delicious toasted sandwich from the snack shack further down the beach. So much competition and you do...

I stopped off here during my coastal walk round England’ for the Motor Neurone Disease Association; great value food, but staff were varied in friendliness and helpfulness. The guy who took my order was friendly and helpful, but when I asked the manager(?) if she minded if I charged my phone for a few minutes, she was quite abrupt and said yes she would mind because of the cost of electricity. . . It actually costs less than 1p to fully charge and I was just asking for a few minutes; I would happily give 1p if the cost was really the issue. Words fail me. This unhelpfulness was a real shame as the food...
