Stopped for coffee and cake at the table setting alongside the river. The staff were so friendly with exceptional manners. The coffee was absolutely superb, the cake so fresh. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Stopped by this picturesque cafe whilst on a motorbike ride.There was plenty of parking and the cafe is easily accessible from the main road. The location is absolutely stunning with views of the river, bridge, and south downs. Absolutely perfect location.There is indoor and outdoor seating, and whilst there is plenty of seating this is a very popular cafe!Cooked food is not served after 3pm, whilst nice, I think it was overpriced for what it was which is my only criticism - for example I've had a true Cornish cream tea with double the scones for half the price - and that's with tourism prices!Staff were welcoming and friendly.

I've driven past here for yrs but never stopped. I finally visited last weekend for lunch. We hadn't booked, but we got there fairly early & were able to get a table outside. Service spot on, food fab, great location....definitely recommend & would definitely suggest booking if able.

Like do many others we have been saying must stop there one day...so today we did. What a little gem. Staff friendly helpful. Couldn't be more helpful..my husband got stung. Waitress came with ice.sting spray . Couldn't have done more. Good hot. Well presented but what taste.. excellent quality..couldn't fault. Great selection of wines etc can highly recommend the Malbec. Fabulous.. don't pass this hidden gem. Stop enjoy the great views...and enjoy the great food and wine

I’m not usually one to post reviews but I felt like I should share my experience on this occasion.. We found the staff here to be unpleasant and hostile ..You only have to read some of the responses to negative (albeit reasonable and objective) reviews on here to see what I mean… I get that the customer isn’t always right but it seems there is no effort to value or understand another’s feedback or perspective whatsoever. It comes across as incredibly arrogant.It’s a real shame because Amberley is such a welcoming place. Every other hospitality establishment in the area has a warm accommodating atmosphere and I am shocked (as a fellow hospitality worker) that this is the way they operate and treat their customers. They’ve really let themselves down.. so because of this I’d really recommend spending your money elsewhere.My reply to yours: No, that was certainly not us. You are mistaken. We have far more respect than that as customers. But your belligerence has just proved my point so I rest my case.

Today myself and 7 others enjoyed the 3 course Christmas lunch.Friendly, efficient staff.Everything was cooked beautifully and the main meal was served on lovely warm plates with plenty of fresh vegetables to help yourself to.The roast potatoes were fabulous also.Would recommend.

Treated my daughter to a scrumptious afternoon cream tea today - four types of finger sandwich, choice of plain or fruit scone with jam and cream, and delicious little cakes with a pot of tea. We sat inside by a window due to the rain but it didn't dampen the hospitality we were met with by the team at the tearoom. I'd definitely go back again!

Nice but high Price - We have passed this place a number of times heading towards Chichester, so we decided to visit on our Holiday before hiring a boat.Good selection on the menu. If you wish to sit outside near the river suggest you reserve a table asap, as they were all reserved when we arrived. Nevertheless ate inside, slightly long wait but still wholesome food served.Over £30 for two drinks, one breakfast and one sandwich, which I thought was a tad pricey. However the location is pleasant but the parking is very sparseStaff were pleasant and decor nice. Comfortable atmosphere, would visit again... 4/5

Ended up here by accident and it was definitely a little gem. Beautiful location. We didn't have a booking but we were still given a nice spot to sit in the shade during one of the hottest days in England. Lovely breakfast and lovely attentive staff that went out of her way to make sure by newborn had shade by providing a second garden umbrella. Definitely recommend this place it has private boat hires too so will definitely try that next time.
