About this restaurant

  • Great for brunch
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
Welcome to La Follia Caffè, our small slice of Italy. Beautiful, seasonal ingredients and the best coffee - nestled at the foot of the rolling South Downs, amongst the mix-century world of antique and vintage shop, Lamb & Newt.
Our Cicchetti (small plates) are as big in flavour as they are small. Our hand made focaccia is sublime and the base for all our Sarnis and Toasties. If you come in time for breakfast the La Follia Brillante Breakfast Roll and freshly baked Cornetti will win your hearts.
All our food is made by us, with all the love you'd expect. Literally every piece in the cafe has had a previous life and if it's not tethered or human, is for sale. A take away might be a little more than you expected.
We'd love you to join us.

    really enjoyed Goats cheese crostini & salad. Tea was a little generous for 1 tea bag so requested another. we ate late (2pm) so quiet.

    Dear Lois, we're so pleased you enjoyed your crostini, but truly sad you didn't feel our service was up to scratch. We care deeply about the experience we give our customers so please let us know how you think we could improve. Please do come again so we can make it up to you. Thank you, La Follia

    Just perfect in every way… Seriously delicious food & coffee, it is like walking into the cafe/kerbside restaurant that you dream of finding in Italy…but it’s here! On my doorstep in a pretty little village in Sussex. Such a wonderful atmosphere, Mariana’s flare and style are faultless. This really is la Dolce Vita.
    La FolliaResponded on 3 April 2025
    Dear Sacha, What a wonderful review. Thank you so much for your more than generous words and truly beautiful sentiment. it's exactly what we'd always hoped for. Hope to see you soon. Gracie mille, La Follia x

    Fabulous restaurant - although we live only 10 miles away had no idea of its existence until we read the review by Tom Parker-Bowles. Understand totally why he lists La Follia in his Top Ten. Will definitely visit again. Thank you.

    Once you’ve tried this beautiful, welcoming and relaxing little restaurant, you’ll want to return regularly. The food is divine - moreish and filling at the same time - recommend the homemade soup/stew. Staff and owner are always genuinely pleased to see you and will go out of their way to accommodate you.
    La FolliaResponded on 3 April 2025
    Dear Colin, Thank you so much for all your incredibly generous words. We really care deeply that our customers enjoy every part of their La Follia experience so this is absolute music to our ears. And we are always genuinely pleased to see each and every man, woman, child and dog that walks through our doors - thank you very much for noticing. Please come back soon, La Follia x

    Pasta and pud night was lovely. Choice of pastas with a few sides to add if required. We loved the simple but ample menu and the quality of food was fab. Great ambiance with friendly and efficient staff. Thank you for a great Friday night and super way to start the weekend. Looking forward to returning.
