Little London Cafe in Chichester

Had a fantastic breakfast. Lovely friendly staff.

The place ...was very clean. Food was hot and delicious... staff was more than helpful.

What a welcoming place. Lovely food, great ambience. Space to move and around tables. 3 of us had drinks and food. Welsh rarebit, trawlerman sandwich and coffee cake. All fresh and delicious. Definitely going back!

Excellent brunch at the Little London Cafe. Food was excellent, service impeccable, atmosphere warm and friendly.

Love it here. Always tasty food and nice selection.

Wonderful home cooked food. Excellent coffee. Friendly, efficient service. Opens at 1100. This is my go-to place.

Lovely cafe, staff very friendly great food

Great welcome and superb food. We had the ‘King’s Grand Breakfast’ which added halloumi, chorizo and padron peppers to locally-sourced eggs, bacon, mushrooms and beans. Just as delicious as it sounds. Several cuts above other breakfast places in the locality. Not cheap, but you do get what you pay for. Service was excellent and the garden is a lovely, secluded place to eat, drink and socialise. Highly recommended

Lovely little cafe with friendly welcome. The veggie breakfast was excellent value for money. Nice to have fresh leaf tea in the little teapot.

Remembered there was a cafe in little London & was pleased to see it still existed, although obviously reincarnated from a previous visit many many years ago! We only stopped for tea but were taken in by the cake selection 😋 Reasonably priced, nice atmosphere & service was excellent. We wished we’d come here for lunch as what was being served around us looked yummy!

Really nice nice food service and atmosphere

Friendly place with a good selection of sandwiches and larger meals Great for a quick bite but the phone signal is patchy unfortunately.

Excellent food quality, reasonable prices,quick service,polite staff.

A great little find, fab food, lovely service. A gem!

What a lovely café. From the outside, it was very unassuming and could have easily been missed. Once we were inside, it was very nice, and was very clean and tidy. We were greeted immediately by a lovely and very friendly gent who told us to choose a table. We did, and eventually ordered two lunch meals. I had a jacket with beans, and my guest had a Mac and cheese, which we also had alongside two drinks and two Victoria sponges. The food menu was the perfect size for a café menu, being enough to cater to most people, but small enough not to be overwhelming with choice. The food was very quick to arrive to the table and both of us commented that the taste was also absolutely delicious. Toilets nice and clean. Atmosphere in the café was calm and relaxed. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit, and wouldn’t hesitate to stop by again. Thank you!

I’ve been in a couple of times and thoroughly enjoyed myself but I had to leave a review after I came in today exhausted post-run and was so well received. The woman served me couldn’t have been lovelier and I had the best apple juice I’ve ever tasted. All the food I’ve ever eaten here has been delicious and the atmosphere is always good.

Always enjoy going here. Lovely cup of coffee lunch or just cake!

Just rediscovered the Little London cafe, haven't been here since before the pandemic. Good to know that the food is still very tasty and the staff very friendly. Coffee is just as great too. Good value for money.

Visited this charming venue with two friends. With no booking, 3 of us walked in and asked for Afternoon Tea at 1230. We were cordially invited to chose where we would like to sit and chose the conservatory. We were offered a range of sandwiches, scones and cakes, with tea or coffee. The food delivered to the table was well presented, scones were warm (thank you, that's how they should be served) and plentiful. No scrimping with the cream and jam also. A side dish of salad and another of tortillas meant our table was certainly full of food and we thought it was smashing. Staff were polite and friendly, going that extra mile to ensure we had everything we needed for a lovely dining experience. At £11.50 per person, the price was spot on for lunchtime out with friends. Thank you to all the staff who catered to our needs that day.

Great food and friendly service. Thankyou

Lovely cafe! Great food and always an interesting specials board. Super friendly staff who always remember us and our favourite order. Worth a look if you just want a cup of tea and cake, or something more filling!

Great coffee good good and fantastic staff.

We have been going to Little London Café for many years. It's the place where locals eat. Excellent food, cooked on the premises. Staff all great, like old friends. Now doing first class Christmas lunches, but you must book for those.

I had their cream tea (real loose leaf tea in a mini pot) a scone with butter and jam (no cream for me lol), it was lovely (one of the best scones I've ever had). This is a really lovely hidden gem; well worth the effort to look for in a side street called "Little London" in Chichester.

I love their Cream Tea… Perfect tea time☕🍰

I took my friend Harry here for a birthday lunch after my wife and her friends said how lovely it was. I have to agree! Tasty cakes, delicious food and a very friendly 1st class staff. I will definitely be back and so will my friend with the rest of his family next time. Well done Little London! keep up the hard work.

A wonderful place to relax after a hard days shopping. Great tea and cakes with wonderful friendly service. I'll definitely be back. Keep up the hard work guys.

Been here quite a few times and low reviews aren’t justified at all. Food is great, staff bend over backwards for you (doing me a breakfast past breakfast time), coffee is great too. Nice setting and atmosphere.

Food was average. Staff were rude when asking about using Taste Card. Perhaps some re-training would be s good idea.

Saturday morning, nothing planned, newspapers bought, where to go? HERE! We had a cooked breakfast that was beautifully presented, which is not something you really expect, and absolutely delicious. Yum. What a way to start the weekend. The Husband says to mention the latte - usually he finds that he can slurp them down in seconds because they're lukewarm. These not, and they were excellent. We have been here for lunch - the menu offers all sorts of lovely sounding dishes but I'm afraid I go for the omelettes because they are incredibly fluffy and light. Excellent, obviously. Highly recommended.

Friendly and professional service, nice environment and delicious cakes, well worth a visit, a Chichester gem!

Even if your in chichester for a few hours or a day little london is fantastic for food been there many times love it so friendly

We love coming here for their bacon and egg rarebit served with a crispy salad and chutney. Good service. Informal setting.

This cafe is a lovely little place and quite. The staff are very friendly and helpful and its reasonably priced

Really good food nice atmosphere not good for wheelchair

Great good atmosphere not to pushy coffee great scones great recommend.

We always like hanging out in this Cafe having some food and coffee. It's a very cozy place and the food is great! I wouldn't get tired of coming here over and over again.

Last time I came here it was Shepherd's Tea Rooms, which is probably 20+ years ago. Scary. I say 'opposition' as clearly I rarely come into Chichester on a Monday as my usual haunt, Common Grounds) see separate reviews) is closed on Mondays! Still the Little London Cafe, now in its 9th year of operation was just fine. A delicious plain chocolate flapjack. Combined with a good Americano. And air conditioned, but the door was open, so I guess it was turned off. Still beautifully shaded on a hot day. Hayling Seagoon

Great service from friendly staff and quality food and coffee

Delicious breakfast, with a great pot of tea. A very welcoming place with very good service and good value for money.

A good find in a side street.Beautiful place ,good food .Would definitely go again 👍

The reach of the menu is more contemporary than you might expect from the overall style, whilst the setting is a little less creature-comfortable than you might be hoping for in 2019. My buck-rarebit (egg on Welsh rarebit) featured an excellent cheese mixture, but I would have preferred the egg poached rather than fried. My 3 companions all seemed happy with their choices, with no qualification I was aware of. Ultra-susceptible as I am to the cold, I would have liked the temperature cranked up somewhat, though, again, those I was with were quite content.; and near-skeletal as I am these days I really needed a cushion for my back, the chairs being standard, elegant antique-shop design. But I could have asked for one, and didn't. Meanwhile my fellow-lunchers---well, you've guessed it! The place certainly deserves a recommendation.

Decor is bland, feels like a 1960's village hall in the conservatory. Service appeared slow as nobody had yet got food when we arrived. We asked how long before we would receive food as we had an appointment and they did ask kitchen to expedite order. It took 40 minutes from arrival to receiving food. Toasted sandwich was bland with very little filling(cheese, ham and tomato) served with a bit of lettuces with balsamic dressing and a few crisps. My friends omelette was also lacking in flavour(cheese and bacon) and the coleslaw had huge lumps of cabbage. Very disappointing and not somewhere I wish to visit again. Only chose here as I could use my Taste Card, should have gone elsewhere and paid full price.

Met friends for lunch I had a cheese and onion omelette with home made coleslaw and salad it was delicious. Friends had spinach and goats cheese omelette and mac and cheese. Lovely ambience and good service.

Great food service friendly service attentive service

Pleasant cafe but tea tasted like rusty metal

This little gem of a cafe tucked away from all the modern outlets is a little oasis serving excellent snack lunches and main meals. The surroundings and atmosphere will take you back a few years, the staff are friendly, cheerful and efficient and all the customers are sitting around just enjoying a quiet chat over a good meal. There in a great choice of snacks plus a daily specials board. The bacon, brie and cranberry on granary toastie is the best to be had - it actually has an abundance of all three fillings. I tend to walk past the gorgeous cake display as they should be marked up as "naughty"!!!!!! The coffee is just as good as any high street chain Take a turn of the main streets you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I haven't been here for years, but went with a friend for some lunch as I had a 2-4-1 Meerkat deal. Lovely, quaint little place. We chose from the Specials board and had a goat's cheese and red onion tart with salad. It was very nice, and the coffee was good. Friendly staff and reasonable prices.

Lovely little cafe with a good lunch menu. Also has a specials board which seemed to be good value. We used the meercat 2 4 1 offer which made it good value for the 4 of us.

Excellent food. Friendly service. Lovely ambience. The bacon, stilton and caramelised onion toasted panini was divine.

A good place to go for a coffee or a light lunch. Service is friendly and prices are very reasonable. There is a choice of daily specials for meals, and, on the permanent menu, the rarebits are delicious.

Very friendly tucked away in the heart of Little London. Good range of teas, cakes and lunch menu.

Would have been 5 stars if we would of had more then 10 baked beans each.

Small intamat restaurant in the middle of Chichester in a quiet street.

We ate here for the first time today to have Sunday lunch on the invite from my Mother-in-law. First of all I must say it was probably one of the best cuts of beef that I have had for a long time. Two big slices!! The food was very good indeed. From the starters through to the desserts. I have had coffee here ages ago and did not realise that it doubled up as a restaurant as well. Good traditional surroundings, atmosphere and good traditional food. Friendly staff. Definitely worth a look.

Best breakfast I've had . Fresh and well cooked. Nice medium sized café tucked away in Little London street. Friendly and cosy with a light airy dining area to the rear.

Chichester is awash with restaurants and cafes of every type from the usual chains to independents. If you are coming to the city for the day head straight for Little London Cafe (just off East Street) for your lunch. You won't be disappointed. No tea bags or foil wrapped butter portions here. A fine selection of loose leaf teas is available and you get proper butter in a butter dish. This attention to quality is evident throughout the menu which always includes some excellent and tasty home-cooked hot dishes on the specials board. I am at a loss to know how other reviewers can fault the friendliness of the services. We have been regulars for years and never had less than a warm welcome.

Enjoyed lunch here with family.

Our favourite lunchtime eating-place in Chichester. Food is good value, and includes daily specials plus rarebits which are to die for. Staff are friendly. It is also a good place for morning coffee and cakes.

The Little London Cafe agreed to cater for a gathering after a family funeral. They were very accommodating, served delicious sandwiches and cake, and were unfailingly good humoured and helpful.

Simply the best breakfast in town! Also one of the best services! Really like this place

I used to be a regular here. Two of my daughters worked here as "Saturday girls" and it was always good quality food, tea and service. Today I went for tea and cake , for the first time in several months. The lady serving was extremely unwelcoming - I actually felt that I ought to leave (and now wish I had). She was rude on more than occasion and service was poor. As another customer was leaving, she turned to me and said "she is so rude". I will spare the details of all my complaints but this was so disappointing. She needs a significant amount of training or needs to recognise that this job is not for her....oh..and she cannot make tea. You used to get a good strength with hot water to top up. She put in one spoon of tea - no wonder it was like water. Cake was a bit dry but I can cope with that...if the service is good.

Really friendly clean café. We had an afternoon tea and it was delicious. Generous sandwiches, lovely light cake and yummy scones jam and cream.

Food was nice, decent sized portions

Tome una comida en la cafetería. Normalmente tienen el queso y cebolla roja caramelised panini. Creo que se ha convertido en demasiado caro para lo que es y normalmente vamos en algún sitio un poco más asequible. Porque donde está ubicado en la ciudad (hay un montón de tiendas boutique) hace que 'más', por lo tanto, exclusiva de los aumentos de precios.

Este solía ser un lugar bajo la administración de los propietarios hace diez años. Que ha cambiado de manos varias veces, pero nunca ha respondido a las expectativas de tiempos anteriores. Como una pena. Servicio en mi reciente visita era desagradable y de mala calidad. Espera a ser cobrado más por el café y la tarta si paga con tarjeta de crédito. No regresaré y me parece que han perdido muchos de los rostros que visitamos el café antiguo con frecuencia en el pasado.

There were four of us in the party and everything was delicious, brown sandwiches, scones and cakes. We all had pots of different teas.

Cuando sabíamos que estábamos llegando a Chichester, fui buscando un lugar para tomar un té helado. reservé para 2:00, pero de hecho nos presentamos 50 minutos de anticipación. Fueron muy hospitalarios y mesas de juntas para nosotros. Como sucede ninguno de nosotros tenía la merienda como toda la comida era tan tentadores que 5 de nosotros pedimos cosas distintas y todo estaba entregado rápidamente y alegremente. Todo era precioso y una t de £11 por cabeza con una pinta de sidra cada muy razonable. Muy recomendable y esperamos volver algún día.

I visited this quaint café with my Mum for afternoon tea and we just loved it! Very friendly staff with fabulous homemade food. I literally could have grazed my way through their entire menu and Daily specials Board! I've already arranged to go back with a group of girlfriends when we head to Chichester for a shopping trip. See you soon L.L. Café!!

After being told by our hotel to visit this tearoom for a much needed cuppa and cake after a long journey, we were told by staff, at 3:40pm, that they were about to close for the day!

We went there for lunch. It has a great menu, excellent sandwiches, friendly atmosphere and service. Hidden gem

Had Saturday lunch with a friend, very friendly staff.The menu had plenty to chose from, I had salmon quiche and salad. They made the salad just as I asked.The quiche was very nice, as was the coffee.Will be back.

I never knew this place existed until I walked past it and you get a good welcome and they a good selection of cakes and coffee.

The welcome is warm and friendlyFood is good value for money and good quality - selection is good as wellIt is a calm restaurant in the middle of the city, which is a welcome breakGreat place to rest - a real gem in CichesterWill be returning for sure when we next visit Chichester

Great service from smiley staff. Was good to have a break from shopping crowd. Food was tasty and good selection to choose from.

Having been around the rather excellent Christmas market we needed a 'restful sit' we first went to the 'Real Food' place that looked quite new, sitting down at the window seat I was appalled to find the table sticky with grease about the same time R came over and said a scone was £4.00! The two combined sent us scuttling off... shocking place! It was then I remembered LLC just around the corner. How pleased are we that we changed horses! LLC is a delightful place. Old fashioned charming surroundings, Met with cheerful and understanding staff as I flitted from one table to another while R was bemused, but I just wanted the table by a window. The breakfast menu offered a good range of options and for a change R went for a 'lighter option' than a full English. Our tea was delivered in good time, real tea, with a strainer and real milk (Hate that UHT stuff or HRT as mum calls it!) Delightful. Not a tea bag in sight. Our food arrived in double quick time, which was fantastic. Now sometimes this means 'microwaved' but not here! This was freshly cooked - piping hot food. R had opted for Poached Eggs on Granary toast and I had the Eggs Benedict. The eggs were as fresh as could be and all poached to perfection. R remarked how wonderful the toast was and how buttery it was. And it really was just how toast should be, butter soaking in, hot and 'proper toast'. The ham on my EB was really tasty and good thick slices, no wafer thin here! (Bit like me I guess)We did not feel rushed even though it was really busy and the place was filling up fast. All the food we saw served looked tempting, drinks served to all in good time and around us everyone looked relaxed and comfortable Looking at the menu I can see many things we would like to try and as R said, this will not be our 'go to place' in Chichester. Forget the sticky, dirty tables, the scone that costs more than you can understand in 'the place' over the road, trot across and down the lane to LLC. Spotless tables, brilliant staff, hot food - in fact more 'real' and wholesome than the other place. Reasonable price, great food and proper tea await you in LLC. It looks as if it fills up fast so go early, they even have decent reading material! Thanks LLC, for the food and the peaceful rest from the shopping.... See you on our next trip to Chi-chester... as we call it!

After a few hours traipsing round the shop decided on this cafe down one of side roads.Waitress very friendly.A little wait due to the time but got a table,A good range of food,usual sort and prices.Good portions and hot.Would recomend and would come again if visiting the area again.

My wife and I reserved a lunch table prior to a theatre performance at the Minerva. It was a Saturday in the build up to Christmas so very busy. After a short wait we were shown to our table and ordered a main course, desert and drink. They arrived quite promptly and the quality of the food was good, in particular the salmon quiche. We would recommend Little London Café for a basic meal. GS

I booked a table for lunch at the Little London Café a couple of weeks ago but on arrival today we weren't expected. We were told to find a table in the "conservatory" at the back of the building which turned out to have a great view of the dustbins. We were eventually moved to another table, thank God. Meanwhile I asked the manager about the fixed price menu which is advertised on the café's website. I was told that the website is now out-of-date and no time had been found to update it. Therefore there was no fixed priced menu available.The waitress who looked after us was very pleasant and did her best, but the place was filled to capacity and I think she struggled. My lunch, a club sandwich, was OK if a little dry. I think my friend's jacket potato with smoked salmon was all right although she didn't finish it. My glass of wine was fine as was a cup of coffee.I won't return to the Little London as I find it inexcusable to ignore a confirmed reservation, and surely time can be found to update their website. I suggest you try somewhere else. If you are determined to eat here, booking for lunch is advisable although you may find, as we did, that your booking has been ignored.

Last Saturday, before the theatre, I had an excellent tomato and lentil soup and my wife had an equally good brie, bacon and cranberry toasty. The bread with the soup was the freshest I've ever tasted (from Splits bakery around the corner) and the mocha coffee was also good.Thoroughly recommended. I know we will be returning. I think I'll try something from their tea menu next time.

Off the East Street there is a hidden café in a Georgian building offering good quality food at very reasonable prices with a very friendly service. Artists are showing their work from time to time and that makes the café more sophisticate and modern. Sure I will come back.

We stopped late morning for brunch, sitting in the conservatory at the back. Waitress service and staff were all extremely friendly. I chose the Welsh rarebit and my wife had the Brie and tomato rarebit, both served with tomato chutney and side salad. Excellent food and Coffee also very good. Despite being busy, there was not too long to wait for the food, which was an added bonus. Definitely worth a visit.

Loved going here for a quiet peaceful meal with the mother and thought the food and friendly service deserved a review.

Another brilliant lunchtime visit, super little table in the back room. A perfect café for lunch with friends, Two very friendly waitresses. Good food, good value. Suggest gluten free bread as one of our friends is coeliac

A good cafe which my wife, friends and I frequently use when we visit Chichester. Food is excellent - I particularly recommend the rarebits - and there are dishes of the day. Everything is clean, and prices are very reasonable.

My husband and I always go here when in Chichester. It is a lovely tea shop. The food is excellent, well presented, tasty and good value. The staff are always helpful and friendly. We would highly recommend it to anyone.

My wife & Two children were staying at a local guest house & we were really unsure as to where was a good place to eat. We picked up a copy of the Sussex Food & Drink Guide & looked through the reviews. The review on The Little London Cafe looked really good & was only a few streets away from where we were staying. I had the tripple decker sandwich & my wife & children all had paninis. Everything was made to perfection & we would highly recommend this little gem to anyone who was in the area. Well done :)

My partner and I visited one Saturday lunch time whilst shopping in Chichester. We both had the special of cottage pie, veg and gravy and it was gorgeous! Really, really tasty. We then had two slices of homemade carrot cake which was also delicious. Very friendly service. We were able to use our taste card on the Saturday which was great. Highly recommended and we will be back!

We came across this cafe when wandering the backstreets of Chichester, it is not on a main thoroughfare so it may take some effort to find it. We were glad that we chose to give it a try as we were both very pleased with the meals we chose. I had their Welsh Rarebit with egg and bacon top which was as good an example of this dish as you could find anywhere, certainly the best I have ever had, albeit it is a not a complicated recipe but nevertheless it was perfection. My partner had their cottage pie which she said was excellent. The ambience is peaceful and the tables not too close together. The service was friendly and efficient. Consequently it deserves 5 stars with no problem.

Hidden gem. Lovely cafe off one of the main shopping areas in Chichester. Quiet location. Cafe food reasonably priced and the food was really good. Nice cakes!

In Chi to do a bit of shopping and remembered the Little London Cafe when lunchtime arrived. The decor is an interesting mix of cool modern with old style tea shop furniture. The menu is quite long and I hazard a guess there is something to please almost anyone. We had a panini and a rarebit. Both were excellent and well presented. The service was exemplary, the price reasonable and the whole experience pleasurable. We will be back!

Came for lunch on a Wednesday. The service was quick and friendly and the food was very good. There is a good choice and it's hard to decide which to have.A very nice place to stop for a break, we've been here a few times and it is always good.

Chichester isn't short of nice cafes but this one might have just become my new favourite. Pretty decor, friendly staff, efficient service and delicious homemade food; what is there not to like?

Ah..a quiet place, close to shopping, where you can eat lots of different homemade dishes, welcoming...I came for lunch and next time I will come for tea and cakesI deeply recommend it !

Met up with three friends for lunch. My first visit and I was truly surprised, a clean, light and inviting Cafe. Two delightful female staff on duty, who were very welcoming and friendly.We all took some time to choose our lunches from a vast menu, our choices were Panini's, sandwiches and an Omelette ( with various fillings as chosen) excellent portions, quality and presentation.We will return, well done and keep up the good work

Huge portions! Really good, friendly service. Lots of choice of fillings. Would be even better if they offered gluten free bread :) Will return for sure.

My wife and I stumbled upon this cafe after a very long and hectic shopping trip needing to eat we went in and were greeted by a really welcomeing Young lady who gave us the option of tables to choose.When settled she took our drinks order and explained the contents of the specials board the drinks were served and food order taken . my wife had the turkey roast which she said was so flaversome and vegetables perfectly cooked and presented.I had the lamb cobbler which was superb in every way with the same vegetables it was a perfect lunch in the most beautiful old building .Our compliments to the chef and the cheerful efficient staff and when in Chichester again we will definitely be returning

Very friendly staff !!! Professional and with a smile ! Great brunch ! Will be back to try the cakes ! Tried to get in on Sunday but it was sadly closed !

Always pleasant staff. Good food and good quality tea and coffee with most food home made? We eat there regularly when we are in chichester

I like this Cafe so much.It is a Cafe - rather than a restaurant, but the food never disappoints.Freddie (our server) was charming and efficient. Good food, reasonably priced.Worth seeking out.
