folks as there isn't a 'region' covering this area have posted here.....
if anyone has some recommends for Cafes that would be open at weekends in the following area i'd be grateful for a heads up.

so in the corridor that runs between say Billingshurst to the west, Haywards Heath to the east and up toward the A25 ( dorking / Godstone/horsham ).....

already aware of: the chalet at Cowfold, Henfold Lakes nedigate......but lacking inspiration for any others!

we often look to finish kit car runs in that area and need some alternatives for sat/sunday brekkies......so ideally reasonable parking.

Cafe Elvira at Borde Hill Gardens (just outside Haywards Heath) might be worth a shout

Second Sunday of each month, visit the Riverview cafe in Forest Row, just outside East Grinstead from 11:30 they have a classic car day. Look them up on Facebook for directions. Cafe does breakfasts, sandwiches etc but can get very busy on sunny days.

I'm in Crawley, can recommend Kim's Kitchen in Ifield, crawley. It's small but the food is pretty awesome. There is a car park too. Also there is a Toby carvary on manor royal in crawley that does all you can eat cooked brekkies for next to nothing.

hadnt realised Toby's did brekkies....i know the quality wont be top notch, but for once might be an easy option.....

Another vote for cafe Elvira. It's my nearest cafe and they do damn good coffee and cakes. Their lunches are pretty good too and there is always loads of parking.

Eta they also do breakfasts, IIRC from 10am on Sundays
