This is a really sweet and quirky little place to have coffee and cake and waste some time looking at the crafts. It's like a rambling old farm house in disrepair - it probably was at some point. The staff are really cheery and the coffee was very good. I've knocked off half a point because I think the cake was a bit old and dry. It was still very yummy and I really enjoyed my visit here. The plaque (pictured) near the front door is really interesting and I really hope it's preserved for future generations. We sat near the old wood burner which is charming but... and it's a big but... I'm reliably informed by my co cake eater that even the most efficient wood burners create as much pollution as 5 HGVs, heck! Really? There goes the other half point, sorry.

I come here with my dad for a bite to eat in the afternoon. The café staff are lovely and serve tasty, simple food like jacket potatoes, macaroni cheese and of course tea and cake. It's a source of sadness to me that at some point soonish, this place and its beautiful adjacent fields (pictured) will be turned into a luxury homes development.
Lovely stop off point for a family cycle ride on the Cuckoo Trail
Real shame half of it has closed but really happy to find the cafe still open, the food still delicious and the staff very friendly! Great place to stop on a cycle/ ride/ run or walk. They take card and very family friendly.
The Craft Hall is closing for good on 31st January, and there is very little stock in the sales area, so much so that I wouldn't bother to go there again. Great shame as I have been a customer for over 30 years and will miss it greatly. I'm also very sorry for the ladies who run the cafe!!
It's a shame, a lot of the crafters seem to have gone now. It looks half empty. The fabric shop seems to sell more wool than fabric now too. The little cafe is just the same which is fantastic. This place used to be bustling with people. Hiring bikes, the pottery place and the craft hall and cafe.
The five stars are for cafe. Excellent service & light lunch. The craft areas are looking sad & empty. This place should stay open. It is unique & offers crafters an opportunity to show/sell their wares. Please keep the building if land has to be sold. Will keep coming as long as it is open.
Short walk up the Cuckoo Trail from Polegate. Nice tea room with great cakes, good service. Craft Centre is a collection of rather ramshackle farm buildings but with an eclectic mix of individual craft stalls. Worth a visit.
