Popped in for a hot drink and ice creams, service was very good . Toilets were open to the public and parking is only available when cafe is open. We took a walk to the Viking ship to show my grandson. Out for a drive and we fancied a cup of tea at the Viking Ship Cafe but all closed up . Later we learnt it was under new ownership. Let’s hope it is run has smoothly as previous lovely owners . We have been back several times love what you made of the cafe and outdoor. Heard only good from customers everywhere is always spotlessly clean . Food is very tasty cannot fault the cooking. Congratulations on your first year at the Viking Ship Cafe .

This cafe must be a gold mine! Located at a lovely view site with a short walk to the white cliffs this cafe and it's friendly staff offer a selection of well priced foods, drinks, ice creams and sundaes. It was fairly busy but it's ruin like a week pulled machine. Definately a great stop for a quick bite. It is located in a field with ablution facilities but not wheelchair friendly. I think it's aimed more as a cyclist stop.
