What customers say?

“ Just go. Great food, eventually a jacket potatoe or burger, fish and chips, panins, drinks, soft hot or alcoholic, family friendly, staff great, on the beach, perfect! Kids can run on the beach whilst u chill xx ”

“ My favourite breakfast and lunch spot in Hove! Great prices, tasty food, always served with a smile. Lovely spot to sit by the sea in casual atmosphere. Great for kids and pets too. In the summer the bar and ice cream area stays open after the kitchen closes. Enjoy a fresh draught beer while watching the sunset. Unlike many beach cafes Lex's is open all year round for food and hot drinks during the day. ”

“ Good place on the beach to stop. I had a bacon sandwich which was a bit too well done for me so when I order again I will ask them to cook how I like it. They're very dog friendly and they also stock doggie sausages. The coffee cups are a bit on the small side though. They're always busy which is a good sign ”
