Hiker’s Rest

Tea Room

A friendly, family-run café
with many faithful customers

Tucked alongside East Dean’s beautiful village green, Hiker’s Rest is a popular start and finish point for walkers and a stopping-off point for local day-trippers. Expect fresh food from our farmhouse kitchen, a wide variety of hot and cold drinks, and plenty of homemade cake.

Light lunches and sandwiches are freshly made in our kitchen to be enjoyed inside, on our terrace or on the village green. Or we can prepare a picnic or sandwiches for you to take away. You’ll also find local beer and wine on the menu and a good selection of food for kids.

Our gift shop features a variety of locally produced crafts, produce, paintings and pictures as well as a varied selection of unusual gifts for all ages.
