What a lovely cafe. I visited Steyning whilst cycling the South Downs Way and found Victoria's Sponge by chance. What luck! The premises are newly refurbished and fitted out to a high standard whilst there's something on the menu for every diet, with a particularly wide selection of salads. I chose an excellent avocado and beetroot platter but you can mix and match from all the options to suit yourself.

Read moreWent to Victoria's Sponge this week. Wanted to support local independent. Lovely little place. Simple, but pretty decor.

All the best for the future. A tough business to be in. But, have a great feeling about this...
Read moreLovely little tea rooms, beautiful crockery, best coffee we have both had in a very long time, amazing selection of cakes including gluten free & vegan. Nice selection of salads, simple cooked food & sandwiches with take away option. Victoria herself couldn't have done more for us or been more helpful, lovely lady & doing it all alone. Toilet not suitable for disabled though as such a tiny space. Cushions I could sit on though so 9 out of 10 from us. Really lifted our trip to Steyning on a wet & windy day, Thank you we will definitely be back & will be recommend you to all our family & friends. We always prefer to support independent places whenever we can & this was is top of the...
