I moved from London down to Goring just under two months ago and was recommended The Bluebird and very pleased I was! I've been there 4/5 times in the last month or so. I always have a mug of tea (£1.80) and one of their top drawer fried egg sandwiches (2 eggs) which comes with a lovely side salad to make it healthy 😁. I'm Coeliac so they serve it with gluten-free bread which they kindly toast at no extra charge. That is £4.20 which is terrific value! The staff are so friendly and helpful, really couldn't be nicer, special mention for Amanda, Nicky and Rachel. Highly recommended if you're visiting the área x.

Love this place which is beautifully situated right on the beach and brimful of fab friendly staff so we go there when we can Two visits ago I had ham eggs n chips and told all my foodie friends how good it was, with thick cut, off the bone style ham and chunky chips kinda disappointed that last week I asked for the same and got cheap ghastly squares of packet ham wafer thin and bland Lets hope theyd just run out of the good stuff

It's a hard to reach little place but once you get to the car park and you're on the beach in the summer then you're set for a day. It's a bit of a gem amongst the local and beach goers. I'll warn you now. Once summer hits then getting a bite to eat can be a very long process. Not a fault of Bluebird staff but just the volume of customers coming for the food and drinks. The car park isn't huge but the beach next door is wonderful and a stones throw away from Worthing and Littlehampton. Good job guys, keep it up

I came out to lunch with two friends, one who lives locally, and was brought here for the first time. How fantastic to see it so busy, and what a treat to be beside the seaside (not been to any seaside for over 50 years!, being a city boy). Staff were fantastic and so welcoming, Amanda and all. Food was superb. My king prawn, chorizo and avocado salad was devine! Mug of tea, brilliant! Being able to smell the sea air was a unique experience and one I definitely won’t be waiting another 50 years for! A round trip of 120 will be worth it, and I’ll do it again on my own. Well done to the entire team and congratulations on great food, excellent service and a great atmosphere!! Long may you be blessed with many customers, health, wealth and happiness.

If I could I would give no star at all. We ordered fish and chips to go. We got a buzzer and waited right outside the orders window. An hour later there was still nothing. We asked and it turns out our order was lost. Everything is fine, it can happen. But instead of apologizing and offering us compensation such as ice cream, a drink, etc., everyone just looked funny. As I said, we stood the whole time within sight of the staff we ordered from. While we waited we joked around in the kitchen and ate ice cream. Simply outrageous. Nothing special in terms of taste.

I currently cannot eat carbs so instead of Fish and chips I ordered a small portion of fish, a beefburger (no bun) and salad. The burger was dry and overdone, the fish was about 3cm sq and salad consisted of 1 green leaf, 2 slices of tomato, a slice of gherkin and onion shaving. Expensive too. We had driven 15 miles for supper on the beach on a pleasant summer evening. Very disappointed. Lady who served us was lovely. We didn't complain at the time but on reflection should have.

Fab cafe on the beach. Lots of tables inside and out - many outside under shelter so out of the wind and rain and sunshine on a hot day. Bacon sandwich is lovely and good value. Also the sausage egg and bacon sandwich is only £1 more than the bacon sandwich so great value. Lovely back bacon in granary and hp sauce. Decent coffee and lots of staff serving so even though it was a very busy Saturday morning, we were served promptly and drinks and food didn't take long at all to arrive at our table. Definitely my favourite cafe in the area and large car park behind although we walked from goring which makes you feel like you've earnt a decent pit stop! If you're in the area, well worth the visit!

We visited Bluebird Cafe today and had a pleasant visit. We arrived at 10 45am (Friday) and although the car park is big it was almost full. (The car park is free and right next to the beach, behind the cafe). We booked our table which I'd recommend doing as it was quite full when we arrived and lots of tables were already reserved. The vegan options are great - I had the Vegan Brekkie (£12 approx) and a coffee with soya milk (additional 40p for dairy free milks). Lots of outdoor seating available. Staff were nice and the toilets were clean. I would have given a full five stars if they'd had dairy free ice cream options! There are ice lollies available, however. Good food, decent prices, free car park and a beautiful beach. Will definitely be coming back again soon.

This is my local and I visit several times a week. It’s a beautiful location, the staff are friendly and the service is generally very impressive even on busy days. There is a good selection of food and also a vegan menu. The gluten free options could be a lot better though as the bread in the pre-cut / packaged, dry stuff. There are so many great options available from local bakeries now. I’ve recently discovered a dairy and gluten free seeded loaf from coburn & bakers which are based in Brighton and who deliver weekly to Rassasy. Please improve your gluten free options so they don’t feel like such a compromise 🙏💛.

Saturday evening 29th and we visited this riverside bar as we were attending a birthday party being held here. We really liked the qwerky and zany decor and fixtures around the establishment, spent some time just walking about looking around. The food that was catered for the party was well presented, lots of it and tasty. The staff were friendly and attentive, the bar was clean and well maintained. Perhaps the drinks were a bit more expensive than we are accustomed to, no surprise really due to it’s location.
