Fantastic experience: What a gem in Peacehaven. Their new Belgian menu is exciting, including sweet and savoury Belgian waffles. And their Belgian beer selection is definitely something to come for. Plus Small Batch for the coffee connoisseurs.

Fantastic experience: I had the best beginners class with Matt! He let me get there early and ran through everything before the class started which eased my nerves. He pushed us but left room for us to go at our own paces as well. Will definitely be returning! I also had a really great first breath work class with Nicola who is such an inspiring and lovely lady. Great coffees, cakes and just good vibes overall! Highly recommend a visit

Fantastic experience: This week we rented the hall & headsets and had my daughters tween, silent disco here & it was lovely. Beautiful room/lights. The manager (or owner?) was so lovely & helpful, and went above and beyond for the kids in trying to help make it special, even with the total carnage at the end of trying to usher all the excited kids outta the cosy cafe at once . Staff are always friendly if i pop in for a drink. Great coffee & hot drinks too! Thanks for having us, made my daughters day so special.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful place, excellent business idea! Spin and sip. Some fantastic smoothies avaliable for after your class too. The cafe itself struggles from appearing closed from outside. It isn't - go on in, the owner is lovely. You can just pop in for a cuppa and some lunch - the spinning isn't mandatory

Fantastic experience: Chateaux Velo is fun, energising and a great place to work out, get a coffee or meet a friend. I was totally new to indoor cycling, now I’ve completed 6 classes and I’m hooked. Davinia and the team make you feel welcome and I am feeling more confident with each ride. And it is a great place to meet someone for a cup of coffee or tea, and a chat. It’s relaxed and friendly. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Had a lovely coffee at the purple coffee shop this morning - good choice of vegan, gluten free and nut free treats (delicious!) as well as a selection of different milks. Lovely warm welcome and dog friendly. Had a look at the cycle studio while we were there; very impressive! I can imagine there's a great vibe in there. Good place to meet with friends whether or not you cycle. Will definitely return.
