Charlie Harper's in Chichester

He estado aquí como un habitual desde hace varios años y siempre he recibido una cálida bienvenida del personal de guardia, además de la comida es increíble. Sin embargo, las dos últimas veces que he visitado he encontrado al chico sirviendo inaccesible, grosero y con el aspecto de que realmente no quiere estar allí. La primera vez le di el beneficio de la duda, pero su mala actitud frente al cliente continuó en mi próxima visita. Esto está muy lejos del servicio amable al que he estado acostumbrado, lo que es una pena. Esperemos que cuando visite disfrutará de la gran comida y el personal amable que suele estar de servicio. PD, el sándwich de salchichas es para morir por

I will always recommend Charlie Hapers whenever they ask where to got for lunch in Chichester. The food is always fresh and consistently tasty. The prices are really reasonable too!

Great breakfast in spacious cafe with friendly staff.

Salmón y huevos revueltos en un muffin seguido de manzana crumble y natillas. Sirvió rápidamente y la comida dio en el lugar. Mi segunda visita este año.

Loads of gluten free options, very reasonably priced and generous portions. Lovely staff.

Great place to grab a coffee. Excellent service.

La comida era de primera clase, el personal profesional pero amable. Sin duda el mejor café de Chichester. Si no lo has probado debes hacerlo.

The best cafe in Chichester. The food is first class and the staff are professional but friendly. Cannot fault.

Excelente comida y servicio amable todo a un gran precio. ¿Qué no te gusta? Recomiendo la tortilla Feta... deliciosa. Y una olla de té. Maravilloso.

Great service, food was piping hot when it came out. Excellent value for money. Lovely atmosphere 👌

Buenas opciones sin gluten y como yo también soy vegetariana hace un buen cambio para conseguir un desayuno decente, también sustituyen las salchichas de cerdo por salchichas vegetarianas con puré y guisantes (aunque la salsa no es vegetariana, pida por un lado). Buen servicio también, aseos limpios, etc .. recomendado

I visit Chichester twice a year with friends. We always have breakfast in Charlie Harper's. Varied breakfast menu, great coffee, lovely atmosphere.

I downloaded the menu the day before we went but on arrival found the prices to be 10% or more higher than the menu they present for download on their web site. At best this is lazy and at worst downright dishonest. The place didn't look that great to me and had only one or two customers so having been put off by the menu price hike we went elsewhere.

Lovely little cafe in the heart of Chichester. Come here regularly for Bacon rolls and coffee. Staff are consistently kind and it’s always the same staff which creates a comfortable feel when using the business because you know them and they know you. Best cafe in Chichester.

Great food portion size is good friendly staff Busy cafe that never fails to deliver

Best cafe in town for quality food and drink and good value. Friendly staff and great outside seating

Nice full English set back from the street, busy but not rammed, definitely worth a visit if your looking for brunch

I love their English Breakfast! the service is great too

Cute little cafe on the outskirts of Chichester Town centre

We wanted a reasonably priced cafe for lunch that we had not used before. Going on the previous reviews we thought this was the place to try. We sat indoors as the tables outside in the sun were busy. We were served in good time and the menu was so varied we needed a few more minutes to make our choice. My husband had the felafel wrap and I had a sandwich of brie, avocado and mushrooms on lovely soft brown bread. The mushrooms were warm and melted the cheese a little and it was the nicest sandwich I have had for a long time. We both had chips that were well cooked and lovely and hot. We visit the art gallery in Chichester fairly often and will have no hesitation at returning to this cafe next time.

Many,many cafes in Chichester but Charlie Harpers stand out way above the others. We always try and pop in for breakfast when in town and have to say it is a real 10 out of 10 whenever we are there. Don’t know where they get their bacon from but it’s the best bacon I’ve tasted. If you’re ever in Chichester make a point of stopping off and having something,you won’t be disappointed.

Quirky and quaint little cafe. Friendly staff and while we didn't eat, menu looks comprehensive and meals on other tables tooked very nice. Coffee, however, disappointing. We're used to good coffee being from NZ but left here disappointed. Wife's mocha tasted of hot chocolate with no hint of coffee. My espresso was 'dull and boring' and hard to differentiate from an unstant.

Been 3 times and have had amazing food and service every time, would highly recommend!

Visited several times, and food ok but customer service has deteriorated over the last few months. Visited this morning at 8:15, restaurant almost empty with only 4 customers, to be told “sorry you can’t sit at the tables, the’re booked for 9:00am, very abruptly”. We certainly won’t be visiting again. A piece of advice for the member of staff “never underestimate the biting potential of any customer”.

Came here for breakfast with the family, I could see it was very busy but the staff were very attentive and polite even though they were rushed off their feet, we ordered breakfasts and a prawn salad, all the food came out together and the breakfasts were lovely and hot the prawn salad was very big with lots of fresh salad, will definitely return soon.

My partner and I came for breakfast today for the first time. We both opted for the Charlie Harper breakfast. The quality was fabulous; the quantity was fabulous and to top it all off, it was piping hot. The guy who served us was excellent; friendly and polite. We both enjoyed immensely, despite being so full we could barely move! Will recommend to others.

Although we had been before and really enjoyed it, I was extremely disappointed with my sweet potato and bean burger. I thought that I was choosing a healthy option but it was deep fried, clearly from the freezer and really quite horrible. Having said that my husband’s home made burger was very good. I would go again but would certainly not choose that option. The waitress did apologise but should not have to apologise for poor quality food.

Me and my boyfriend come here every Sunday, but today I went in with my boyfriends mum and we had the best leek and potato soup, the waitress even gave me a takeaway cup of the soup. The staff are all very lovely xx

Hidden little gem in the heart of Chichester, highly recommend! Amazing food and great service.

Nice food but really dull atmosphere

Popped in for a late lunch. Ordered fish pie and was impressed. The pie exceeded my expectations. If in Chichester in the future will visit again. Closes at 4.00pm.

This is tucked away and I have consistently missed it for years. Having put my car into a nearby Kwik fit for emergency tyre replacement, I finally ventured in. What have I been missing?? This place is great if you like a good breakfast. Brilliant bacon, perfect scrambled eggs, home made fried then roast (I think) potatoes? No problem! They even did a good cooked tomato, which is often a hot on the outside, cold in the middle, tasteless disappointment. Not here. The whole thing was delicious, the room is really nice and there is a great vibe emanating from the staff. I am considering wrecking my tyres just so I have an excuse to go back...

We went in for breakfast with the kids. Had the big Charlie breakfast which was really good. We also liked it we could just het a round of toast and jam for the kids as they don't like eggs and bacon. Atmosphere was really nice. Well done.

Our favorite cafe in Chichester, popped in for a lovely scrambled egg,smoked salmon on toast my wife had a sausage bap. Both choices were lovely and came in ample portion sizes. The cappuccino is the best in the city, wish we could visit more often. Lovely staff and great prices. Highly recommended.

Good choice on menu would definitely use this place in the future

We used to go to Charlie Harpers for the food & friendly atmosphere. Today, four us arrived at 3.05pm. We were met at door by an unsmiling waiter who said the kitchen closed at 3.30pm & cafe closed at 4pm. Fine we said. All I can say is, that he, the waiter should not be working on the frontline as he had zero customer service skills. Awful vibes and atmosphere. Shame as they’ve lost our custom

Best breakfast in Chichester so far

I would not hurry to return to this locale. We waited an hour for our food - it was Christmas Eve so we expected the place to be busy but neither of us had complicated orders. I chose goat's cheese bruschetta - it was tasty and quality was good, but £9.95 for one half of a panino with a topping and a bit of salad seemed excessive. Our desserts both came with choice of custard or ice cream, but there was no custard available - not difficult to rub it off the blackboard or to be told when ordering? The fruit in my crumble was nice but the crumble itself was like stale, broken biscuits just strewn on top and was almost inedible.

This is a fab cafe. I've been coming here for over a decade. My favourite is their cooked breakfast, the best in Chichester.

Don't let the outside building judge this place. This little cafe/Restaurant is nice and cosy when you get inside. Gets very busy during the weekends. The staff are friendly and helpful. You get a great portion of food for your money and you got a variety of cakes and tea/coffee if you are looking for a sweet treat. I will continue to visit this place.

Fresh food, made to order by people who truly are passionate about their work! Chichester is so full of eateries that are selling processed food, Charlie Harpers have an extensive menu with fabulous choices plus a great specials board. Served by brilliant staff!! Highly recommend

Lovely atmosphere. Sat inside and very varied menu with specials blackboard. I had the prawn and avacado wrap with fries which was delicious. Would definitely eat here again. Lovely waiting staff

Familier place, friendly prices

As always, a little gem. Great food and well served. The burger was delicious and my wife’s fish cakes were huge. Would thoroughly recommend.

Best aspect of this cafe is the professional, friendly, service that is done naturally. Having the same high calibre of staff ongoing ensures the above and re assures the customer and obviously results in repeat visits. No fuss, great place, yes please!

Separate Vegan menu. We had the vegan breakfast. Sausage, beans, tomato, avocado, mushroom, fried bread, fried potatoes and toast on the side . Really tasty and great service. Waitress very knowledgeable on vegan requirements. Will definitely visit again

Fantastic location, the staff are very welcoming and friendly. I have been coming for breakfast here for a while now after spending quite a while looking for a decent café that will serve a top quality breakfast for a good price and finally found Charlie Harpers. Top quality food cooked perfectly, they also serve many other dishes from home favourites like pies all the way to avocado on toast if that pleases you.

Great cafe with excellent food. A real hiden gem in Chichester.

Easily the best place to go for breakfast in Chichester. Good portion sizes, well priced, delicious food and superb coffees. Their fresh orange juice is also amazing. Have taken family and friends there and it never disappoints. The staff are also excellent and very helpful. Would highly recommend.

Visited this place based on the great reviews and it didn't disappoint. The food was of a very good standard and very tasty. The staff were friendly and interacted well with my small people. I will definitely visit here again

Excellent all around: food came quickly and tasted delicious, coffee was made using a proper coffee machine, reasonably priced (under £40 for two adults and two children) and free WiFi included. Faultless in all regards. Would highly recommend!

Great food. Well placed for a visit to the city.

Really good breakfast, couldn't fault it.

Had a lovely veggie breakfast here. Neat cafe in three parts: a pavement area; a half-outside corridor; and a cosy inner room in front of a bar. I sat in the inner room. Fairly busy, not packed; plenty of staff on, so service was on the ball. My eggs were mainly runny, if a little hardened underneath. The breakfast was served hot, a big plus with me. Even the mushrooms, which are kept lukewarm in most cafes. Highlight was the sauteed halves of new potatoes, skin on. Also a good veggie sausage. With grilled tomatoes, toast, beans. Tea was hot and made with fresh water, though tea bag was left in, not ideal. This is a very good cafe.

Excellent food. Fresh & tasty. Kid’s chicken nuggets were exceptional! Great value as well. Would definitely come back :-)

Absolute gem, a really lucky find. Original menu items, well presented. I had the Greek platter which was excellent and a lively freshly squeezed juice combo. Reasonably priced, prompt efficient service and friendly helpful staff. Made my day!

Decided I'd head to Chichester for a breakfast, searched some cafes & read good reviews about Charlie Harper's, so I headed there. Certainly was not disappointed, staff couldn't be more polite or helpful and the breakfast, named Charlie's big breakfast lived up to its billing. All cooked perfectly and hit the spot. Great place to watch the world go by, I'll certainly be back!! Keep up the great work 👍

Absolutely wonderful food at very reasonable prices . Lovely atmosphere and friendly efficient staff.

Lovely cafe with polite and efficient staff. Great food cooked to order !

Excellent food lots of choice. Speedy polite service.

Been a number of times. Food mostly good. Last visit the service was very slow. Do wonder how often the toilets get cleaned - several visits over 2-3 months and there is still the same dirty rings around the hand basin.

Found this place on our first visit to Chichester. The food and service was really good. So much so that we came back for brunch the next day on our way home to London. My son loved the kids cheesburger which looked home made. We will definitely be coming back

Omg this place rocks! Visiting from Australia and the breakfast was amazing. Staff were super lovely and the food was lush. Best brekkie so far in chichester. Thanks guys xx

Super friendly staff and a delicious menu

We love this place - the food is fantastic and the staff are lovely - have been here so many times and the food is always great

Nice little place on the edge of town, fantastic food and great service

Great little hide away spot. Small and intimate very local. We went for breakfast and had Eggs Benedict. The eggs Benedict was very good perfect poached eggs. We were told the place occupied what used to be a pool.

Great food (as always!). I had gluten free eggs royale. I really liked the fact the hollandaise sauce came in a jug so I could choose how much to put on. Friendly, helpful staff.

Found this little gem in Chichester. Fabulous gluten free options available. Staff are knowledgeable about coeliacs too which is great. The food was divine the turkey and ham proper hand carved meat. We will be returning !

Absolutely wonderful breakfast. Can't be faulted.

Hadn't been here for quite awhile but even better than we remembered! Staff, atmosphere and food great. Can't fault the place. We will return! Thank you

Good old fashion cafe, great food, good choice, excellent service

Very nice place, nice music playing. Had the pancake stack. Bacon was very nice flavour just would have been nicer abit crispier. Pancakes were a little soggy could have done with a little jug to put on myself.

20/2/23: Eaten here a lot, but recently went since going off gluten and was amazed by the gluten free menu, including a gluten free cooked breakfast which was fab. Staff are knowledgable on coeliacs and cross contamination too

All day breakfast and Eggs Benedict were great. Free wifi and clean toilets. Servers were friendly but not intrusive

Always call in here for a brunch or lunch when shopping in Chichester. Usually a sandwich or two but today a main meal and dessert. It did not disappoint. Best burger I have had in ages and huge! The brownie dessert and waffle with fruit were delicious. Well served in pleases ant surroundings. Give it a try….

Really nice breakfast and love the fried potatoes. Would have given it 4 stars, but the meal was sadly let down by cheap baked beans

Bacon and sausage baps are yummy 😋

Reminded once again just what a superb FEB is served here (Charlie's Big Breakfast). Still under a tenner, and easily one of the best that I've enjoyed in the area. Highly Recommended.

Good as long as you don't have dietary requirements. I'm a pescatarian with a dairy allergy. I asked for the vegetarian menu first then asked if they had a dairy free menu...I was handed a gluten free one. When they asked for my order I used the vegetarian menu, asked about dairy free and she wrote down gluten free. I told her I wasn't gluten free but dairy free and that it was an allergy. My vegetarian meal came out with bacon on it when the menu said beans. I queried this and said the menu says beans and I was told "no it comes with bacon". They did get me a separate ramekin of beans which was nice and I didn't mind moving the bacon off the plate and still eating th le toast underneath. A lot of hassel with what felt like little understanding from the staff of people's dietary needs. A shame as if they understood it could have been a much easier experience.

We popped in for breakfast before doing some last minute Christmas shopping and I have to say the food was absolutely excellent! I would highly recommend this restaurant and I will definitely be returning.

Great and quick service with delicious hot food. Great milkshakes!

Recently moved to Chichester, so I'm investigating the local area! Popped in this cafe for a cappuccino & a cookie! Nice little cafe, friendly young man.

1st time there. It was OK staff were friendly and the food was good. Only thing they need to ask the customer if they could change their order instead of presuming. . Or ask the kitchen if the soup has changed.I asked what the soup of the day is and was told leek and potato. They came with tomato and basil soup. They changed it straight away. The hot chocolate was weak and watery.

Full English is always great, I'm always in there early after nightshift and staff are very attentive

Great food great staff great prices

Great full English and good service by friendly staff.

I devoured that breakfast, every crumb!

Excellent all day breakfast. Great service from v pleasant staff

Lovely hot food great service 😋

Excellent highly recommend delicious breakfast!

Great food, very hard working people doing what it takes to give you great food, friendly attentive service... and all without a big corporation making plastic food in Miltion Keynes that can hang about a week before being microwaved to go on your plate. What you spend here stays in the local area. Don't let the big chains destroy our local businesses.

Great food especially the sausage sandwiches! Been many times. Consistently good. Very efficient and nice staff

Great food, good service. Accessibility ok.

Well what a great find that was .

Clean, tidy, friendly and delicious

Another great meal ,and service first class

Good breakfast but it doesn't come with beans 🤨

Nice fast food we tried the fish and chips. Friendly staff and very good location.

Good value. Had the fish finger sandwich on granary ... lovely.
