We hosted our son’s 1st Birthday party at Shweet. Amy and the team worked so hard to keep everything running smoothly on the day as well as dealing with all the additional drink and snack orders for the adults. All the children had a wonderful time and we loved the baby shake and personalised signboard for the birthday boy. It was such a hot day so the air conditioning was very much welcome and appreciated. The bubbles smoke machine and lights also made the event extra special - thank you for a brilliant party!

It was my first time visiting today with my 3 year old and 1 year old. My children had a lovely time, the venue was absolutely pristine and kept up to high standards- staff were super friendly!! Amazing soft play and role play area. The biscoff milkshake was to die for. So impressed will definitely be returning again very soon😊

Amazing place. A true gem! Beautifully decorated throughout and staff very welcoming and mindful of little ones. I specially like that the menu is so thoughtful: they have healthy juices and many home-made deserts which are super delicious. Visit is a must. I recommend and come back again and again.

Absolutely fantastic entertainment option for little ones and amazing food/coffee for older ones and grown ups. Been here 3 times in 8 days and that's a testament to how good it is. Our first visit was with my nearly 3 year old and an adult friend, we were able to catch up and have a hot cup of coffee whilst he played happily. It wasn't too noisy, with a good choice of background music, and we were able to follow 3 year old around soft play from the outside or watch him play in the role play area with ease. The other two times were with friends and their 3 year olds, again it was easy to enjoy a hot coffee and watch them play. Also I didn't find it too tight to be able to go around the soft play or interact in the role play area either. There is plenty for them to do as well as some books and games they can use whilst there. The coffee is from Edgecombs, another local company and is amazing! Go large if you can. There is an oat milk option at extra charge if needed. I've been informed by my little one that the chocolate vegan ice cream is the best ice cream in the whole wide world, so definitely worth a try and they do a baby size for £2.50 and this was perfect for him. There are lots of desert options and having seen the lotus waffles, I will definitely be trying them next time. The portion was very generous and it smelt amazing. I also tried the kinder brownie and that was very nice, although I struggled to eat it all. There are vegan options too, an old school cake option and 3 ice cream flavours, crisps, fruit, fruit yo-yos and a fruit pouch, as well as some cartons of juice. On Friday and Saturday evenings they open up for just for desserts without the use of the soft play and in my opinion that sounds like the perfect evening with pre-teens/older kids. Anyways, what I'm trying to say is visit if you can for a hot coffee whilst the kids wear themselves out. It is a fantastic addition to Barnham and we can't wait to go again.

Great soft play area with lovely dessert parlour/ cafe. We loved taking our little ones to the baby area which was great as a little bit out of the way from the bigger kids play which meant it was quieter and calmer for the babies. Coffee and waffles were delicious. Highly recommend to anyone local with little one!
