Hayden's Coffee Shop - Rother

I previously wrote a review that was taken down for 'profanity' when all I said was that one of the servers seemed very unhappy. As someone who works in hospitality and is a young person, I understand how the industry operates. It's not difficult to put on a smile even when you're not in the best mood. The food was average and nothing special despite being advertised as such on the menu. Overall, our experience at Hayden's could have been enjoyable, but the poor service and overpriced, mediocre food left us disappointed. We did not try the breakfast/brunch options or cake, so they may have been better. This is simply constructive criticism and not meant to offend anyone. It is just my opinion as a customer.

We just stopped for a cup of tea, coffe a piece of cake. I’m gluten-free and got the gf lemon cake and it was one of the best I’ve ever had super tangy with lots of lemon absolutely delicious. Didn’t realize it, but they looks like they do B B as well, (i’d imagine parking would be a problem because it’s right in the middle of town but I don’t know)

Had a lovely brunch with my boyfriend, food was fantastic. Lotty was lovely and helpful, the older lady seemed a bit brash with us and didn’t seem as friendly which was a shame as did ruin the experience a bit. The view was beautiful

We try to go to Rye once a year and always stay at Haydens, we have never been disappointed. The Sandpiper Room at the top is absolutely beautiful spacious, quiet with glorious views over Romney Marsh. The staff are very accommodating: a big shoutout and thank you to Corey who is wonderfully welcoming with nothing ever being too much trouble he really goes the extra mile! We felt thoroughly refreshed by our stay exactly what you would wish for on a short break.

We used to go to Haydens quite regularly before Covid. This was our first visit since those dark days and I am very pleased to say that Haydens is still just as great. There's an excellent choice on the menu. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The food is well presented and delicious and it is very good value for money. What more could you want?
