Carlyles cafe in Arun

We were regular users of the old Carlyles despite living in Hampshire , the drive was worth it. Today we sampled the new cafe now called Whittakers. Positive points friendly staff and now dog friendly. Negative points food average and the breakfast omelette is now served with a hash brown instead of the little fried spuds of old.

New owner here, we were told. A perfect bacon and egg sandwich was presented on a stone cold plate, and thus spoiled. And where are the cakes of old? That delicious dorset/devon apple cake?
