Jimmi’s , Cafe & Restaurant … Beautiful Old Town Bexhill — Restaurant in Rother

In these troubling economic times the term : getting your moneys worth or value for money are often banded around but seldom truly earned! Which is why it please me so much to relate to you a dining experience of the highest order in a most unexpected location. Tucked Away in this sleepy village old town is an old pub recently renovated into flats with a commercial property underneath which is where we find the unassuming ; Jimmies Cafe & Restaurant. On entry you are enveloped by a large, bright dining space with close to a dozen tables but the real surprise is the partially hidden lounge area behind the wall which separates the service area from the main room. This is where you find 2 comfortable arm chairs and quite literally the most comfortable sofa in this green and pleasant land! Now you are all probably wondering , When am I getting to this so called " wonderful dining experience?"..Patience, my people, Patience...All good things and all that! If you are anything like me, you tend to scrutinies the others customers food arriving whilst you peruse the menu...and I'll you what I was pleasantly surprised to see proportions of admirable size. Whoever it was the owner Jimmy who meandered toward my tabe while I procrastinated over my choices, who steared me to the simple lunch offering of Jacket potato with tuna mayo and sweetcorn accompanied with a sizable salad & coleslaw. Perhaps I should have mentioned that I am a big man! When I say big, I mean it: 6ft 6 inches and 126 kilos ( 20 stone). I say this because even though this meal only cost me £8 , I was fully sated! Add to this the warm reception and excellent customer service one receives from young Archibald, a veritable jack of all trades , who's coffee alone is worth the trip! Like all good businesses it has been my experience that strong leadership from the owner results in a good customer experience and this is no exception! Both Jimmy and his lovely wife Zara exude Warmth and hospitality. Some people are naturally good at this job and here we have exactly that case. They always have a smile or a warm understanding shoulder to park your troubles. In short : the food is very good- the price is right - the service is excellent and the atmosphere perfect for the local or foreign out of town visitor. Trust me when I tell you, if you come once, you'll be a regular before the end of the meal! Now, before I go there is one point I need to mention: I love cake! And if its homemade even better, so the moment I spotted Jimmies homemade lemon drizzle cake ( carrot cake and Victoria spunge were also available), I knew it was meant for me and am I glad I made that choice : fresh lemon flavoured cream attop light sandwiched lemon spung filled even more lemon cream ! Was absolutely...

I stopped at Courtney's with my 5 tired children after a long bike ride today. My son ordered a hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows which he managed to spill all over himself. The staff were amazing and cleaned up all his mess without a fuss and bought him a new hot chocolate without even batting an eyelid. So from a flustered mum of 5...thank you for making an embarrassing situation totally bearable. 😊 Their cakes were amazing and my son told me I need to ask for their hot chocolate recipe! The food looked fantastic, we'll definitely be back...... Hopefully without a spillage...

Really poor visit last week. The young lad serving was clearly in a mood either that or his customer service is non existent. We both had breakfast and when I asked if inplace if tomato and mushroom I could have an extra egg or bacon he said yes but he'd charge for it. I accept that maybe the tearoom couldn't afford that request but the servers whole demeanour was so negative verging on rudeness. We thought hospitality venues would be bending over backwards to welcome customers, but sadly not on this occasion. One star given as there is no option...
