Simon The Pieman

A warm and cozy café with somewhat of an old tavern vibe. The food was fresh, the ambient welcoming and the staff was kind. If you're in Rye I'd suggest you give it a try.

A very nice place to hang out and chill 😀 I tried their Cheese and Onion pastry and Carrot cake! Both were so delicious 🤤 and I would definitely recommend this place to everyone! One of the best places to eat in Rye. Amazing experience it was!! 😍

What a refreshing discovery...not at all pretentious like so many venues in Rye.The staff are lovely,efficient and friendly. We had jacket potatoes..good and excellent value..my husband is looking forward to the steak and ale pie next time(very good price)and I will try the ploughman's. Thoroughly recommend. Great location and quintessentially English..,warm and nice background music. Well done,ladies.

Came in for some lunch today whilst visiting Rye and it was wonderful. Panini's were nice and fresh, tasted delicious and the staff were lovely and accommodating, especially the lovely waitress in the pink jumper :) thank you! My only regret was not trying any of the cakes or pastries, they looked delicious. We will definitely be back if we’re ever visiting again :)

Wow the scones are awesome. We had cream tea and got to experience the best scones, jam and cream I’ve ever had. The scones are light, fluffy and delicious. The service was great, with the staff being friendly and attentive. Very happy we chose Simon the Pieman for our tea break, it was well worth it.

Lovely to visit Simon The Pieman Tearooms in Rye. They not only do really tasty cakes and pastries to take away. The scones were only £1. They also do meals inside, brilliant home cooked food and very reasonablely priced. I had cottage pie and then some mince pies with cream, both very very filling and tasty. The pot of tea, even came with another jug of hot water to top up the teapot. A very old traditional Tearooms, with an open fire, very welcoming in this cold wet weather. The staff are lovely friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit, right next to the church and cinema. #simonthepieman #simonthepiemanrye

Lovely little restaurant with great food and service. The food is excellent and very tasty. The cakes are devine. Great place for tea and cake or a proper meal. The location is a nice historical building, great setting to enjoy from local food. I can highly recommend.

Very basic food served by friendly staff in what is the oldest tea room in Rye. Had better sandwiches from a supermarket, over priced for what you get, to be expected as it’s a tourist destination. Not unpleasant, just not good value for money.

A cute shop boasting to be the oldest tearoom in rye. The afternoon tea is standard fare, one kind of sandwich on squishy bread, scone, and fruit cake. It's disappointing to be given fruit cake with so many other appetizing desserts in the front display. But it does pair well with the tea. Service is friendly and the place inside is charming.

I love pies. I celebrate pie day. And British pie week. I think pie is one of the greatest gifts Britain has ever given me. So I was quite happy to find Simon the Pieman. I will even disregard the fact that it sells more cakes than pies (I don't like cakes but if you're into sweet things this is probably a good place to go!). First, it's quite a lovely little restaurant/tea room. They even have a fireplace! It's just near the church, very good place to stop for lunch if you're visiting Rye. Plus it's fairly cheap. Pies are £6.95 if I remember correctly, then add £2 for chips or £3 for salad (they don't kind with the salad, it's like tomatoes and salad and corn and peppers and alfalfla if I am right about what alfalfa actually is). They serve local beers and good smoothies (and also orangeade but it's not homemade and I do not recommend it AT ALL, it's just some kind of Fanta and it made me sad). We had fish pie (delish, with fresh fish and some leeks inside I think! Yum!) and chicken-bacon-mushroom pie with a really crunchy pastry. Not the most amazing food I've ever had but very good value for money, charming place and good flavours!

Best homemade shortbread ever! We spent the day in Rye, which is now my favorite place in England,. We stopped on our way out to get some cookies at Simon the Pieman, and wish that I had taken a bite before leaving. The shortbread is to die for. I'm still craving them and it's been several days now. Well worth stopping in just for cookies. Service was also really good; the lady at the counter was smiling, happy to serve, and friendly..
