Shoreside Cafe in Chichester

This cafe is in a great location right on Bosham harbour. It was a rainy Sunday morning and quite early so there were few people here when we arrived. I know, from experience, that this cafe does get busier. This is the first time I had eaten breakfast here. It wasn't cheap but was good quality with generous portions. The service was good and I thought they deserved a good review.

The Shoreline Cafe is situated in one of the most attractive parts of Bosham. It’s easy to find as it’s at the end of the main road into Bosham. It’s found where the road meets the waters edge. The Shoreline has seating inside, some seating is with excellent views of birds, swans, boats and water. The menu is good and the food is tasty and well presented and provided. The staff too are friendly and efficient. The Shoreline is kept very clean and a good place to visit.

This is such a lovely place to eat. Food is delicious, the sausage rolls are fantastic just the right amount of spice. Such nice coffee and a lovely atmosphere

Lovely setting and very tasty lunch but the big plus was the staff. My (often nervous) dog was secured under the table while I went to the loo but decided to 'bolt' dragging everything on it and lots more in his path to the door!!😱The staff were absolutely fantastic, refusing my offer to pay for the damage and just SO kind- full of concern for my 'naughty' dog! Definitely a gold medal for customer service 👌

Stopped here for drink as really hot day after a walk around the village. We had lovely Strawberry and Mint Lemonades - perfect for a Summers Day.

Just eaten at the Shoreside Café, again. Lovely to see a new menu, although my wife had her usual, the curried cauliflower pasty. I had what I think was called a Buddha Box, with added spiced falafel. It was absolutely gorgeous. Staff very friendly and it was great to hear of ability to have wine with your meal will be coming shortly. This remains our go-to place to eat when visiting Bosham. Just one thing to note - website menu needs to be updated to the latest offerings 🤭

Very disappointing food. We took family out for lunch and ordered cheese and tomato and ham, cheese and tomato rolls. The rolls were not fresh with the smallest amount of cheese and ham possible. We were embarrassed and usually enjoy taking friends and family around our village. What a disappointment.

Friendly staff and a better menu since the local hotel took the café over. They're dog friendly so you can have your best friend join you for tea and coffee. Bosham is beautiful and attracts many visitors so the cafe gets busy, but well worth the wait for one of the breakfast baps. We've already been back on this trip a few times and will return again.

Arrived 3.40, to be told they were closing soon. Four of us. Place very empty, two staff, but no table service, so had to go and order and pay for my father in law, who has mobility issues, just a bit embarrassing for him. Milk for tea for four served in a mug, had to ask for milk to be put in a jug, initially told it was always served in a mug, so had to insist. Would not go again, lovely position, but place badly needs to be run by someone who cares.

Well where do I start as soon as you walk in the door you have a friendly welcome. The staff are really busy due to the Bank Holiday and still smiling well done. Unlike other coffee shops I have been to the tables are cleared quickly. A relaxed place to have coffee and pastries. I think the coffee shop runs really well due to the lady in charge called Lucie.

Smallest cappuccino I’ve ever had The food was good but a bit pricey Had the fresh roast pork in a bap, was good Visited on a Sunday afternoon

Great cauliflower curry pasties and fruit crumble. Ideal lunch stop and very dog friendly. Nice coffee too. Exceptional view over harbour

Perfect hot drinks on a very cold December day. Tea, hot chocolate and an oat milk hot chocolate all served lovely and hot in a nice cosy cafe on a bitterly cold day. Lovely.

Lovely dog friendly little cafe with THE best sausage rolls in the world! Leanne was super friendly - please go & visit 😊

Nice cafe location which is dog friendly. Coffee and cake for the wife and a very tasty lamb pastie for me. Down side is the disposable cutlery which is being dealt with apparently. We also found it a little cramped inside with tables close together. Worth a try

What a shame -tasty coffee and cake but in horrible 'compostable' plates and cups -totally spoils the taste of the coffee . To claim its a takeaway is very misleading as we walked around the area for an hour and saw nobody walking out with food. Its a sit down cafe with lots of inside seating -there is nowhere to sit in the area to eat your meals If you were to take away. Its a cafe that realises its cheeper not to wash cutlery leading to lots more waste! In the summer these plates/cups ,with plastic lids would be taken away and would be dropped in local bins/left on the side/chucked in the water where they would not be composted as it requires specific type of procedure. I love your food but you need to go back and buy a Dishwasher -It is obviously not a proper takeaway as there are too many inside seats ! If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck -its a duck -(Or in this case a Cafe) which cares more about saving money than the planet.

Nothing like it used to be 😢 took my 95 year old dad who wanted to go down memory lane. Only high stools to sit on 🤪 and nothing to eat which wasn’t cooked pastry😫

Great little cafe with friendly service and one of the best Meat and Veg pasties I’ve had; the pastry was crisp and there were actually quite a few chunks of tasty beef - not filled out with veg & gristle! Victoria Sponge was just the right size and the cappuccino was very good, Nice spot overlooking the quay… Missing for us was: - more menu choice such as paninis - Tuna Melt etc. rather than just sandwiches. - when eating in (and paying quite a high price) I’d like to have a metal cutlery and crockery plates and cups…

Great coffee, service and views. Dog friendly, lovely walks along waterfront. Cakes look good but managed to resist. Well done all.

A lovely lunch with my husband I had the beef pasty it was delicious & full of tender beef mg husband had the coronation chicken bap it was huge & very tasty will come again great value

We approached the Shoreside Cafe to host a significant family occasion due to location being a very special place (the current cafe was originally my grandfather's village store). Despite never having hosted such an event before the Shoreside Cafe could not have been more helpful. Indeed if I could give them 10 stars I would - they were phenomenal. The food was incredible, the service was second to none and their attention to detail was superb. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Thank you - you made a special day perfect!

Outrageously overpriced, £6 for a toasted sandwich with some tomato and one piece of artichoke, takeaway!

Grotty takeaway food at extortionate prices. My friend wanted eggs for breakfast and I would have liked some toast but they didn't do either! We would have gone to the other cafe but it wasn't open so we ended up with a little scone and a bacon bap, 1 coffee, 1 tea. It came to £16.10! My chin dropped to the floor. It dropped even further when the food was put on a cardboard plate even though we dined inside. It reminded me of McDonald's 😩, although it would have been a fraction of the cost! Bosham deserves so much better 😔

Refused child use of toilet. Cafe empty. I totally understand the “customers only” policy if you are teaming with customers, but a little common sense and generosity of spirit goes a long way. Sadly lacking here. Def won’t be a customer in future.

Visited shoreside café about 6 times this year in total on every occasion it is fairly priced and the food, cakes and coffee have been excellent. The staff are always polite attentive and helpful, well behaved dogs are made welcome

Decent quality coffee and sausage bap excellent. As others have said paper cups and plates are not particularly sustainable, call them compostable if you will but reusable cups are better, and more environmentally friendly. I would suggest a policy of crockery until the dishwasher is...

What a disappointment, went to the shoreside cafe hoping for a nice cup of coffee in a proper cup ,, No they only do paper cups ,, WHY , if a takeaway I understand but not for sitting in ,, I see this had been...

Lovely cafe set by the water which is nice however you get served by miserable staff not only that drinks served in paper cups? Pay over £3 to sit in a cafe in a paper cup no thanks not again

This cafe seems well reviewed so I guess I caught them on an off day. Staff were frowning and quite off-hand with me, perhaps they'd had an argument. The cream tea was served on a paper plate with plastic cutlery, and tea in a paper...

The Shoreside Cafe is along the edge of the water at Bosham. It offers all kinds of drinks such as teas, coffees, soft drinks. Cakes, sausage rolls, ice creams, etc. are also available. The cafe is Immaculately clean and so too are the toilets. It’s...

We enjoyed first-rate pasties and cake in this delightful café on the waterfront. The staff were friendly, the choice of food more than adequate, and the prices very reasonable. Bosham is always a pleasure to visit, and this café is another reason to return soon.

We had walked around Chichester Harbour from Apeldram to Bosham ( abut five miles) so were understandably hungry. The tide was reaching its highest and remarkably it covers the shoreline road way and pas at the foot of the café, but thankfully doesn't reach the...

Oh dear dogs take priority. Our four legged friends don’t pay and yet they take priority. I cannot understand dog owners who allow dogs to jump up on tables, roam around and jump up at other customers. When we were there a member of staff...

A lovely cafe with lots of homemade cakes and goodies with a good team to keep the place clean. Good service, great value and very clean

We visited with our dog, and were made very welcome by the kind and thoughtful staff. They were very attentive and our dog got some snacks too :). Really lovely food and drinks, and we would recommend friends and family. Thank you ❤️

They really do the best sausage rolls ever, my partner had the beef pasty that was fully of proper chunks of beef, very tasty indeed, we also had the homemade hot chocolate topped with cream and marshmallows and triple chocolate brownie that was also delicious,...

The good bit: They wiped the tables down well. They served us (eventually, very slow) the worst cake I have ever had in restaurant - stale Victoria sponge, that was full of hard bits, not good on the teeth! Horrible. We took it back over...

The Shoreside Cafe is in Bosham overlooking the harbour. It has excellent views. It offers a large selection of coffees, teas and other drinks The food includes Sandwiches, Sausage rolls, Cakes, Ice cream,All day breakfast, Baguettes and a Children’s picnic box. Sunday lunch is also...

The. Age had been busy that day as bank holiday weekend and therefore at 2pm choice was limited, however - best Chicken, Leek and Bacon pasty ever!! Pizzas also fab. Fully recommend😋👍

The Shoreside Bosham, is situated at the sea end of the high street. Excellent service is available. It is very clean, even the toilet. The Cafe has a good selection of food, including cakes. The food is available both hot and cold. The staff are...

We have been visiting this cafe for decades with various owners adding their own touch. The refurbishment is great, especially the extra door separating the loo from the cafe… was never very great if the only free table was near the loo! The food was...

We stopped here for our Wedding Anniversary for drinks and cake. Three of the drinks we wanted were not available and neither were two drinks. The staff were quite young and thought it funny! One member of staff did not know if the loyalty card...

My mum and I came for a sandwich. She lives locally and knew that it was run by the Millstream Hotel now. The pasties and other hot snacks sounded delicious but the weather was just too hot! We found the staff very helpful and generous...

Myself and members of my family attended today on recommendations from friends I have to say it started as a very pleasant experience the chicken baguette was delicious as we're the lemon cake the views of the bay are beautiful I must say what let...

Today, 22/05/22, myself and my partner ordered two baggette which, were advertised on the chalk board outside as a sunday special @£8.50. We were however, charged the menu price if £9.50. On querying this, the staff were not very forthcoming. The girl said the prices...

Popped in at almost closing time for ice cream with little one. Very polite, no hassle whilst we ate it inside the cafe. Food looks nice, will go back to eat again soon. Prices are honest . Staff friendly

I recently went to this cafe with five members of my family. We thought the food was fresh and appetising. After having a savoury tart, I had a flapjack and coffee. When I had eaten about half of the flapjack I found a very long,...

We popped into this great cafe a couple of times over the weekend. Good coffee, friendly staff and best of all the views - it is set right on the shore of the estuary with panoramic views. My only request would be a few more...

What a lovely friendly cafe with a nice selection of cakes, I had the cauliflower pasty which was delicious, it was piping hot and served with mango chutney, my wife had the beef and vegetables pasty, she was impressed with the large chunks of beef...

Went for a walk round Bosham and stopped at the shoreside cafe for a coffee, my mum and I couldn't believe they had Dundee cake! My nan used to make the best Dundee cake and I haven't had it for almost 20 years, I can...

Went for a walk in Bosham and found this little gem. Such a well positioned eatery with really friendly staff. They had great local knowledge and couldn’t be more helpful. Will definitely come back if we are in the area again.

The view from the Cafe is beautiful but unfortunately that was about it. We went there on a Saturday morning at 9;30am to have a nice cup of coffee and some breakfast. However, the didn't really have anything. No sausages, no bacon, no rolls etc....

We used to make a day of it. Walk around the harbour and treat ourselves to really nice food. My oh my! 😯 Now it's pizzas with scanty toppings served in a takeaway box which were awful. Instead of the tables and comfy chairs some...

How the mighty have fallen. No Mugs, no Plates, no Cutlery, no Loos... Years ago and no doubt several changes of ownership it used to be good. The blurb tells us it is operated by the same Team who run the Millstream. This I find...

This is the best little café in Sussex. When visiting Bosham (which we do regularly throughout the year) we used to pack our own lunch and buy what is a very good cup of coffee at the Shoreside to go with our own food. Then...

We've just stopped here for what turned out to be the most delicious panini I've ever had (aubergine, artichoke and sweet pepper) and a very good pasty too. There's plenty of choice for veggie or otherwise on the menu and it was great to be...

A fantastic walk around Bosham only to finish at this amazing cafe, great Covid precautions a very clean cafe with awesome views. This was by far the best pasty I have eaten ……..just perfect well prepared and good presentation. A great selection of cakes just...

A prime location on the shoreline, now delivering snacks to take away. A slick operation, very clean and safe. Service is a bit mechanical, but is doing what is necessary in these difficult times.

Today we went to Bosham to have afternoon tea , in what WAS lovely tea rooms in the heart of this beautiful village. What a shock and disapointment , and what a disgrace the food / drink was. Gone are the lovely tables that you...

Terrific location. Coffee very good. Welcome/customer interaction zero, in our case. A one-way system which is not clear and unworkable in such a small space. Fantastic view only available to a small part of the cafe, as half of the front windows are partitioned off...

Just had to go back and check out the Gloucester Old Spot sausage rolls - not disappointed they were just as good as I remembered - decided to try the Dundee cake with my coffee - so that'll be another excuse to return

We had a lovely cup of tea in the cafe, the staff were very friendly and very welcoming of our dog (he even got treats). The place was spotlessly clean. They had some lovely cakes, sausages rolls and pasties on sale that we will definitely...

Nice cafe , the coffee was excellent , the male server obviously loves dogs and gave my dog some little biscuits after asking if it was okay. My only criticism is it’s greatly overpriced for sandwiches and soft drinks, the cakes are priced ok ....

Great Dundee cake and excellent decaf tea. Resolved an issue to our satisfaction without question which was very welcome

Went for breakfast which sounded delicious . Out of baps, - a substitute white sliced bread didn’t quite deliver . Add that to cardboard plate,no knives , half full coffee cardboard added up to an over priced visit. Certainly NOT very eco friendly . Next...

We had two coffees, a sausage roll and 2 cakes to take away. All the items were tasty and the coffee was flavoursome, not like some wishy washy tasting that you sometimes get. The cakes were fresh and lovely and so was the sausage roll....

Not cheap, but quality ingredients! Gloucester sausage rolls are second to none. Take away only, but beautiful surroundings. Will visit again! PS £2.50 for a can of Cola is a bit strong!

Best gluten free pizza!! said the wife and my Smoked salmon baguette was equally delicious! Tea could have been a bit stronger for our taste but it was lovely to be back here again and the food and service was as good as ever!!

Excellent cakes, tea and coffee in very pleasant surroundings with good service by friendly staff. Our place to enter with each visit we have made to Bosham.

Just the best Cauliflower Pasty and Goats cheese tart followed by Date Pistachio Flapjack. Highly recommended all packaged beautiful no queue and efficient COVID safe service

Friday 14th May, popped in here with my partner for some cake to enjoy on a chilly day. Ordered chocolate brownie and carrot cake. The pic I have attached is their interpretation of carrot cake. Dry, no topping, nothing more than a cheap tray bake....

I called in at this cafe for a cup of tea/cake . It took 20 mins to be served. Far too long. While I appreciate we are in difficult times, it was unacceptable to have to wait that length of time. That said, Covid protocols...

I was recommended this place from a few of my friends and it didn’t disappoint. I have had the Brie and bacon ciabatta twice now and both times equally as good as each other. My wife who is coeliac was unable to have anything except...

I’ve visited this cafe many times and up until 12 months ago the customer service was dire. The only reason I used it was because of it’s location. However, it’s been under new management since January 2020 and it’s transformed! The staff are really friendly...

A take-away concept with 5 star food & service provided by professional charming staff that would shame many a pretentious over-priced restaurant. Here quality comes first in an immaculate modest establishment which will always work better as is, WITHOUT the need to squeeze in what...

We’ve been twice in the last 3 weeks to this takeout cafe and have been very impressed with the quality of the food. Yes, the choice is small but the sausage rolls, quiches and cakes, are all excellent. Pistachio cake was a standout. The staff...

Desperate for a bit of normality - stroll in the sunshine followed by drink and a snack - this was perfect! Delicious breakfast baps - thick bacon or Gloucester Old Spot sausages - very good coffee and really pleasant staff. Totally Covid safe. The Millstream...

Right over looking the harbour with plenty of sun to a bright white interior. Cakes and pastries plus best sausage roll for a long time. Five stars for perfect waterside cafe with light food

We came across this place because it was on the sea front (when the tide is in) and pretty close to the car park. It goes a lovely range of baguettes and pastys which were tasty. Eat in or takeaway, both good value for money....

We intended to have lunch in here today. After queuing for a long time ( understand the Covid restrictions) but there were only three staff and the lady on the til took a long time with everything. The sign outside said card only and the...

Lovely café with friendly staff, and the perfect place to watch people who don’t read road signs at high tide!

Brilliant! Thank goodness that this cafe has survived. The new owners, management and staff are very helpful, professional and friendly. The food is delicious and served by happy staff. The cafe has been redecorated and I’m very pleased to see that the cakes etc are...

What a fabulous location with really high quality home style food! Totally delicious. Staff were lovely and really accommodating Will definitely be visiting again soon !!

Lovely place to visit with stunning views! It was packed when we arrived but that’s because we were coming for a late lunch. The staff were very accommodating and found a table for us quickly. I loved the atmosphere and can recommend the menu... I’m...

So great to see this lovely Cafe brought back to life again in Bosham. My friends and I visited for a pre Birthday lunch on Saturday, as had heard that the Cafe was under new owners and Chef. We couldn’t have fought our lunch -...

We had a nice breakfast this morning at what is now Shoreside. Under new management and lovely people. They working on their menu but we had two great sandwiches, smoked salmon for me and sausage for my husband. I saw some of the earlier reviews...
