At first glance, The Hideout Eat Drink Play appears to be a small café, but stepping inside revealed a surprisingly spacious venue with a welcoming atmosphere. There is even a lovely outdoor courtyard, which unfortunately was under renovation during our visit but promises to be perfect for sunny days. Despite our large group arriving close to the end of meal service, the staff kindly accommodated us without hesitation—something we greatly appreciated. Our meals were served promptly, arriving fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. Not a single complaint was heard from anyone in our group. The coffees we ordered afterward were just as impressive—smooth, rich, and perfectly made. The venue itself was spotless, with the kitchen in clear view and exceptionally clean. The service was outstanding; the staff were attentive, friendly, and professional, making us feel genuinely welcome. It was the perfect way to wrap up our weekend getaway, and we’ll certainly be back again soon. Thank you to the team for such a memorable experience! What we ordered: Kids’ Chicken Nuggets Meat Pie Double Beef Burger Waffles Chicken Parma Chicken Caesar Salad Apple Crumble Coffees

It was the morning after a cousin's wedding and we needed a good breakfast. After checking Google for options, we decided on The Hideout. It was a good choice. My porridge was nice, wish I could have had more of it, my wife enjoyed her pancakes. My Mrs Coffee & my Mocha were both great. Overall a good decision for a cold/windy breaky. Afterwards we went for a very windy walk along the pier opposite the store.

A big thank you to Steve (chef and owner) and his sister, along with the wait staff for a wonderful experience (plus they are such lovely people)! The food was some of the best we have had in a cafe in a long time! We had the Double Beef Burger and the Thai Chicken Salad - both were exceptional! Their coffee/chai was spot on too! Highly recommend!

The first time in a long time that I ate every single bite. Came out in great time, beautiful plates and comfortable atmosphere. The breakfast was done exactly as it should be and was perfect in its simplicity. Coming back soon no doubt.
