Visited a lovely little deli and cafe last weekend with my children, Anneries in the Enterprise Centre which is just behind Eastbourne Railway station. They offer locally sourced meats, cheeses etc and have a lovely cafe where we had a small lunch. It was excellent vakue and the food was very tasty. We could even see the rocket growing in the window. What made the experience somewhat magical was the most beautiful and enormous dragonfly which flew past our table. We thought it was a clever toy but proved to be the real thing passing through. It just added some magic to a truly lovely lucnh with two young children, this is a lovely and hard working deli and cafe and well worth a visit.

I stumbled on this gem whilst driving back from Eastbourne and spotting a pick your own sign. We drove up the long lane to the farm and were surprised to see a barn with a farm shop too. After a warm welcome from a friendly farm dog, I was amazed at the variety of fruit and veg in the shop, it all looked so fresh and good. I bought some pots, carrots and summer fruits and all were delicious. A punet of fresh strawberries was £1, £2 cheaper than the supermarket and picked literally metres away. they also had loads of free range eggs and the chickens were in a very large coup also just metres away. The lady was also very friendly and passionate about the shop and its produce. What a gem, i'll be back every week.

Litlington Tea Gardens is set in the Cuckmere Valley near Alfriston. Litlington is not really a Tea Room but a garden and only open in the Summer.

Food is cooked in a kitchen at the top end of the garden. Tea room food is then prepared and served by waitresses from another building in the gardens.

All cakes and scones are home made and there are other light meals on offer. The food is good quality home made and the scones are very good. Its a beautiful setting and garden which takes you back to days gone and is really worth a visit, if you can find it that is!
