Dinky Doo Diner in Arun

A small cafe with very basic furniture and decor. Cheap basic, fill-belly menu. Some would call this a transport cafe, but bearing in mind the quality of such places elsewhere, particularly in France, this place fails to get anywhere near that standard. Our mugs of tea were produced by the man behind the small counter. He spun on his seat, threw a tea bag in each mug, filled them with hot water from machine, added milk, got up, took 2 steps and plonked them on our table!!

lovely place, open early with a warming welcome and great breakfast also very good value. was also able to substitute things i didn't like!

A little gem of a place serving a great breakfast, cooked to perfection and plenty of it, great menu for food and drink throughout the day. Well worth visiting over and over

Have been coming here for years and have never had a bad meal. good food, generous portions and friendly staff. I always come here when working in the area.

Stumbled across this great little cafe, which has apparently been here since the 1940s. Friendly service, nice food, large portions and reasonable prices. I had the double breakfast (pictured) They make most of the own puds too 👍

The Dinky Doo is a well established and probably the longest running cafe in Littlehampton. They serve a great breakfast here. The quality of the food is better than most over cafes in Littlehampton and the cheapest. The husband and wife team are really nice. You can have a nice talk, or just enjoy your breakfast. One more thing, really nice coffee too. So get down and try it. Not many of the old school cafes left anymore.

We had 2 ‘normal breakfasts’ (sausage, bacon, fried egg, beans and hose to have fresh toms and toast) and 1 ‘double breakfast’ with tea. All were delicious well cooked and hot. We couldn’t resist and also came away with a huge piece of home made bread pudding and an individual victoria sponge (more than enough for 2). It was all great value. Will be going back on next visit to Littlehampton.

Very warm & inviting litte cafe. Lovely food, great value and really nice staff. The menu is so much more than just breakfast and they do homemade cakes and puddings. We'll be back 😊

I believe dinky doo is under new management however the breakfast is still top draw, piping hot food, delicious tea and card accepted.

Good to be back in the diner under new management. Opening promptly at 0600 I was still 2nd in the queue of 6. Parking can be difficult, even at this early time. Tea was scolding hot and coffee individually brewed. All orders taken were cooked fresh in a short time and specific needs catered for. 'Please don't break the eggs. Nice and friendly staff, excellent food in clean surroundings. What is not to like? Definitely returning customers.

Amazing breakfast ordered a takeaway gut buster stayed hot for ages, friendly staff tasted amazing would highly recommend

Lovely friendly atmosphere warm welcome and quite honestly the best breaky around, always happy and one of the only places I'd feel happy to go sit on my own, used to frequently visit Rosie Lees but after a few dissapointing visits wanted to try somewhere new this place was a game changer, highly reccomend

Under new management and with a fresh coat of paint, furnishings, toilet facilities and menu board. An excellent start to a, hopefully long relationship. On street parking is minimal but the effort is well worth it. A warm welcome at the water urn under the board of fare. Orders taken and sits filled in the lower saloon. All breakfasts are cooked to order and of excellent quality. Ample for a days fishing. Spotlessly clean and with all the sundries, nothing was too much trouble. Pay on exit and promise to come back. I certainly will. Keep up the good start and thankyou.

Visited Dinky doo diner on Sunday 20th December for a breakfast with family, the whole cafe has been done up very nicely by the new owners, Paul & Mandy after they took over. Their menu is extremely good with a large variety of breakfasts, lunches, rolls, sandwiches & a speciality home made curry. The food was to die for & I would rate it 10 out of 10. They are open everyday from 6am to 3pm & are very accommodating. We will defonatly be returning as the value for money is nothing short of outstanding. Give them a go as you will not be disappointed, good luck to them with their new business venture, Kind regards Rob,Kirstine & family.
