Bake Out Lewes — Restaurant in Lewes

My partner and I went into Bakeout in Lewes at about 3.45 on Sunday afternoon for a cup of tea and a cake.

We sat down and the tea arrived around 5 minutes later. At exactly 4.00pm one of the staff came up to us and said we had to leave, they were closed. As we had just poured our tea and drunk about half a cup I thought we should be allowed to finish, or at least given a few minutes to do so.

Pastries cost around £2 each which is reasonably priced for a high street bakery and the cinnamon roll was very sweet and flavourful at prices at £1.90. There is not a large seating area and it can get busy but all in all a lovely place to have a...
