Lime Wharf Cafe

Lime Wharf Cafe is a dog-friendly cafe in Northiam, just outside Rye, serving breakfast, lunch, cake and coffee in a relaxed riverside setting. Dogs are welcome inside the cafe, so you can settle in together at the table without the usual shuffle to find outdoor seating or leave someone holding leads in the rain.

The cafe opens daily from 8:30am to 8pm, making it a handy all-day stop whether you're starting a Rye day trip, breaking up a longer drive or winding down after a walk in the area. The menu covers the full cafe range, from morning eggs to afternoon cake and the atmosphere is laid-back and unpretentious.

It's particularly useful for visitors heading in or out of Rye who want a proper sit-down break with their dog rather than a dash-and-go service stop. The riverside location adds a bit of calm to the usual cafe routine and the consistent opening hours mean you won't turn up to find the doors locked mid-afternoon.
