Fatboy Slim’s seaside cafe has been blasted for it’s “crazy” food prices and “shocking” waiting times.

The Big Beach Cafe on Kingsway, in Hove, near Brighton, East Sussex has recently come under fire from punters.

One disgruntled customer stated they were ”not impressed” after claiming they waited “40 minutes” for a burger and a bagel.

Another kicked off about being stuck at the bar for “15 minutes” after ordering one Americano, to eventually find out it hadn’t been made.

Despite being issued a refund the customer labelled it “genuinely shocking management.”

Fatboy Slim – whose hits include the 1998 track Praise You – acquired the spot way back in 2013, as reported by Need To Know.

However it hasn’t been all smooth sailing at the coastal cafe, with the spot suffering setbacks like vandalism.

Now the star’s business is facing a barrage of concerned customers.

Alwyn Frank said: “Fifteen minutes stood at the end of the takeaway order bar waiting for one black Americano.

“Eventually asked where my coffee was and was met with a ‘Oh, I never got the ticket, from the person who took the order, who was standing next to her.

“Would you like a refund?’.

“It was the third order that went wrong while waiting there.

“Genuinely shocking management. Any other location would have gone bust a long time ago.”

Elena Spinelli said: “Forty minutes wait for a burger and a bagel, not impressed.”

Lewis said: “I understand you need to have some fun at work but do your job at the same time.

“Twenty minutes waiting for a coffee.

“Could see in everyone’s face waiting they had had enough. Sort it out or you’ll lose your customers.”

Berengere Guery claimed: “The prices are crazy, £10.60 for a black coffee and a breakfast bap.

“I wouldn’t mind too much if the quality was amazing, but sadly not.”

Yet Evelyn Mathews said: “Service was friendly, we sat outside in the sun and enjoyed our ice cream.”

Jewel Vogel said: “Great music, lovely staff and amazing food. I would definitely come back, I would live here if I could.”

Big Beach Cafe has been approached for comment.
