Ocean View Bakery

We were at West ham crossroads and tossed a coin to decide upon walking to chilli farm or pevensey bay, we chose pevensey bay cafe for old times sake as we used to go there around 8 years ago. Received a friendly welcome and ordered the early bird breakfast. Food came out and at first glance did not look appetizing, as we ate it just got worse, dried hard leathery bacon, toast buttered for me with a cheap substitute and bread tasted stale, would have preferred a choice and decent butter, strange bland cereal based sausage, unpleasant tomato, eggs had good yolks but rubbery whites and dark Brown underside, fried bread was forgotten and when eventually came was cheap packet bread and dripping in horrible tasting oil. We were clearly not enjoying the food and it was like the elephant in the room as a whole plate of food was pushed to the side and was regularly glanced at by staff however no-one came to our table to check we were ok and if there was an issue. So it was left for my partner upon paying to say he wasn't happy with the meal and did not want to pay for 1 of the breakfasts, the owner was very friendly and disappointed that we didn't enjoy it, so she did not charge us for both breakfasts and apologized. We love a full English and often have them including in Wetherspoons which is generally an excellent breakfast, I would recommend the cooks visit other venues to experience how they are doing it. Generally place needs updating and the ladies toilet was shocking ! Next time we will be trying chilli farm!!

Came across the Ocean View Bakery when looking for somewhere for a snack. The interior was bright and clean, extensive menu; to cater from a light snack to a main meal. We chose baked beans on toast and a tea. Not the most challenging dish but have to say it was delicious and a very generous serving. The staff were pleasant and attentive and we felt very welcome. We were only visiting the area, but would definitely go back if we were in the area again.

We always have breakfast here before a day on the beach. We usually sit outside but it’s nice inside too and dogs are welcome. The staff are always friendly and efficient. The food is well cooked and hot and they don’t mind if you ask to swap things on the breakfast. Great breakfast at a reasonable price, perfect!

Super place for lunch and justifiably very popular, with a menu to suit everyone, all food very reasonably priced. It’s warm and cosy and comforting. Staff are warm, friendly and efficient. It’s a real neighbourhood gem.
