The Picnic Basket, nestled at 41 Sackville Rd in Bexhill-on-Sea, is a delightful cafe that has garnered rave reviews from its patrons. The standout dish, as noted by Bobby-Lee Matthews, is undoubtedly the English breakfast, which has been described as the best in town; perfectly cooked and utterly satisfying. David Rawlinson shares a similar sentiment, highlighting an extensive menu and cheerful service that perfectly complements the excellent and quickly served food.

Another customer, Steve Anderson, enjoyed a delicious roast beef dinner delivered right to his door, emphasizing the quality of both the food and service with a flawless 10 out of 10 rating. Meanwhile, Laura Bennett appreciates the accommodating staff who cater to dietary preferences, making her regular visits with her client a pleasurable experience.

However, not all reviews are completely glowing; Will Mansbridge pointed out a minor issue with soggy bottoms on his food but still praised the overall taste. The blend of great food at reasonable prices makes The Picnic Basket a must-visit. The friendly atmosphere and community feel make it a perfect stop for anyone in the area, whether for a casual meal or a special breakfast treat.

I take my client here whenever we come to Bexhill, she has the ham salad and chips and I have the cheese salad and chips. It is SO good and reasonable and the staff as super friendly and accommodating of my client's dietary preferences. I love this place and wish we had one near home (Horley). Highly recommend.
