Brilliant breakfast & super friendly staff. We ordered the Regular Bosuns and one Big Bosuns. One order was adapted to be GLUTEN FREE. Staff were more than happy to swap items to adapt to this diet. Large portions & tasty breakfast. Would highly recommend this breakfast spot right on the Harbour.

Really lovely little cafe, we had the sandwiches which were delicious. Staff were friendly and personable, would certainly visit again when we're next in the area. It was also very reasonably priced.

Today we had the pleasure of eating lunch at Bosun's Bite before our Seal Safari boat trip. We were lucky enough to sit outside and enjoy the summer weather. The food was lovely and the staff were very friendly. A lovely find, adding to a great day out for myself and my family at Rye Harbour, thank you.

Our second visit to this lovely little cafe. The girls are friendly and service great. The breakfast sandwiches are fabulous with delicious sausages, bacon, eggs, and fresh white or brown bread. Grrat cup of tea too. Thete is a good choice of food and drinks on the menu. Seating inside or an outside semi covered area.

After a long walk at Rye Harbour Nature Reserve this is the perfect place to stop off and re-fuel.
A typical English cafe. Great choice of food including vegetarian and children’s options. Eat in or take away. Honest prices for food and drink.
We have eaten here a few times and have never been disappointed. Its right next to the RNLI Lifeboat station.
Full English fast sets you up for the day. The sausages and mash was a huge portion for the money.
They try and source all the produce from local suppliers.
Easy parking, fast service and as I said before a typical old English cafe.Great food for a breakfast drop in and very fairly priced. Staff super friendly and helpful.

5th visit to Rye Harbour, happened to pop in for the first time, always managed to get the timing wrong and just closed etc...
Luckily they could seat the 4 of us for breakfast, the staff and attention was welcoming and friendly...
The Cafe is rustic, but, clean, plus the Covid regs were also adequately in place and observed...
Must say, we all had the large breakfast (Inc drink) in preparation for our journey home, and, it was delicious! Well done!!
No complaints from us all, even the dog benefitted from an uneaten sausage and bit of toast...
I'd knocked up a few breakfasts over the past few days, they were half decent, this one at Bosun's Bite, different class, spot on, and food value too! Definitely be back for more if we're in the area.
Yum yum!👍😉What a fantastic place..lady and daughter are charm,personified.

We went for lunch at this cafe on recommendation of a friend as it is dog friendly. What a pleasant experience, all the staff cane and greeted our three greyhounds and chatted to us. Food was excellent and service very good. Will certainly be going back.
Nice little cafe off the beaten track but worth going to.ideal for stopping for a coffee and bite to eat . Dog friendly .

Well organised with Covid-19 procedures in place. We started off with a coffee and then went for a 2 hour walk 🚶♀️ 🚶♂️. When we returned the young assistant remembered and asked how the walk was....We had lunch which was the special of the day Crab Roll which was quickly served and was delicious 😋
This is a must go cafe! Set off the main street but is surrounded by great views. The food is 5* and to go with that is the warm friendly staff there!
Great service, very impressed with the portion sizes and food wasn't half bad either! Everything cooked fresh. Great value for the money. Recommended
