At a glance
Mamoosh Riverside is a café, deli and takeaway at the historic Marine Workshops on Newhaven’s East Quay. The riverside setting gives the venue a distinctive local context, while the food focuses on Middle Eastern flavours, artisan baking and casual daytime dining. It offers a practical stop for breakfast, lunch or coffee, with food also available to take away.
The bakery is centred on handmade pitta bread, produced in East Sussex using traditional methods, natural ingredients and a long fermentation process. The pittas are vegan and made without preservatives, with a soft texture and a natural pocket suited to dips, fillings and mezze-style food. The bakery also supplies restaurants, shops and hospitality businesses beyond Newhaven, while selected products are available through click and collect and local stockists.
The café and deli menu has a sharing-friendly character, with Middle Eastern dips, salads, pickles, savoury pastries, pitta-based items, pitta chips and sweet treats among the formats associated with the venue. It suits diners looking for a light meal, a coffee break or food to carry on elsewhere, rather than a formal restaurant experience. The atmosphere is informal and food-led, with the deli and bakery element adding a retail dimension to the café.
Mamoosh Riverside also caters for local buffets, including food for business events, corporate lunches and private parties. Buffet selections can include dips, salads, pickles, savoury pastries, pittas, pitta chips and sweet dishes, making the service suitable for shared lunches and informal gatherings. This catering side gives the venue a wider role in the local food scene, extending beyond its East Quay café.
For visitors from Brighton and across Sussex, Mamoosh Riverside offers a reason to explore Newhaven’s East Quay while enjoying handmade bakery products and Middle Eastern-style café food. The combination of café, deli, takeaway and catering service makes it relevant for a quick daytime visit, a casual lunch, food shopping or an event spread.
