Cuculo Cheese & Wine — Restaurant in Wealden

Important :- The few low star reviews are years old, the more recent 5* reviews are much more relevant to how things are now.

UPDATE Monday 25/08/25 Le Marche weekend:- I had 30 minutes before my bus was due across the road. I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to pop in here for a coffee and the most delicious croissant filled with chocolate and strawberries, topped with cream. The young man who served me was really pleasant and engaging and the young lady who brought the croissant to me and suggested a knife and fork to eat it with was equally so. This is a top place to go, without a doubt.

My first time visiting here, I had a very warm welcome from the owner and her full attention, as it was close to closing time so there were no other customers. There is a beautiful selection of cheese and wine, I had a small selection of three cheeses, with crackers, everything was tasty and fresh. They have a wine tasting on the last Sunday of each month, a great opportunity to try...

The interior looks great, but it's such a shame that we didn't get to try the food. We turned up at 8pm we waited for twenty minutes and no one came over to say hello would you like a table, completely ignored us. They were really busy but the manager just kept staring at us as if to say go away I do not want to deal with you. But to just ignore customers without as so much as a sorry we are really busy tonight, he left us standing at the door which is quite uncomfortable as everyone in the deli can see you and you feel awful. It has put me off this place. Instead of it being a quirky and independent deli I now see this place for what it is, a pretentious cafe where if you are in with the manager you can enjoy what's on offer. All in all don't waste your time travelling to heathfield for this rubbish treatment. Go to the Middlehouse pub in Mayfield, lovely pub, nice food, service at the bar but they talk to you and...

I travelled down from London yesterday to visit family in health field so I had a walk about the high street. I walked into the deli when this rude lady behind the counter called out have you got a mask I told her I was exempt she then asked aggressively where’s your paper I did not know what she meant so I explained I have a badge not apiece of paper. The other lady there said it was ok and we could shop. The lady I was with is from the local council to the area and she could not believe the rudeness So I said I will not spend my money here and as we walked to the door she was shaking her head and kind of ushered us out. Absolutely disgusting there is no paper that you can get from your Gp saying your exempt. I will not post why I cannot wear a mask but I am unable to. She needs to go on a customer service course. I will be posting...
