Syrup Cafe in Arun

Really friendly proper cafe. Grrat food and good coffee. Lots of choice and Mediterranean breakfast so so good. Regular mid week treat!

Best cafe in Bognor for quality of food and price . I had a Jacket potatoe with prawn , huge potatoe cooked to perfection and quality prawn mayonaise . My partner had a mouth watering bacon sandwich . Great prompt service from the polite staff .

Today we visit Bognor again, nice cafe with fresh air thanks to sliding windows and garden area too, nice food, glasses were not very clean but we did not complain.

This spot is amazing for everything in my opinion, the best staff, service, hygiene and of course delicious fantastic meals! Although my meal isn't the fanciest, great for picky eaters like myself! :)

Excellent cafe for all your needs for dining.very good food,good staff.prices are very good as well.always go there..

Poor service ,dirty tables ...Rude and ignorance staff, specially the young boy at the till..............Never again

This cafe is excellent. Great menu, good food, lovely staff, what a find! Caters for all tastes. Hopefully we will return next holiday.

We came here for a family breakfast whilst staying locally. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. I liked the size and decor of the cafe. The food was excellent & freshly cooked. We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfasts & wish we lived locally as I would visit again! Thank you Syrups x

Chose to visit this café for breakfast and I could not be more disgusted by the service. We were told to wait whilst our drinks were being made so we could deliver them to the table ourselves, which normally I wouldn’t mind except there were 7 members of staff on; 1 was working the till, two were the chefs and the remaining 4 were all just stood behind the bar eating, without cutlery, just full on shoving their fingers in mouths licking away. To know it could be one of these hands that served my plate (which did happen!) made me feel sick. Seeing this site made me look around more and I noticed the chefs weren’t wearing chef whites. Just normal day to day clothes, incredibly unhygienic! I ordered a “peach ice tea” which in truth was just an over syruped 3 cubed glass of water. Was no quality in the product. On top of that, the plates weren’t even clean! My whole table witnessed the waitress notice and still proceed to serve it to us.

Syrup staff are always friendly and have a warm welcoming smile. I support a lady with learning disabilities and we regularly go into Syrup for a coffee, they know us so well now when we walk in they are preparing our coffee before we even order it. Today they surprised the lady I support by presenting her with a chocolate muffin and on the plate they had written in chocolate Happy Birthday, they had found out that her birthday was yesterday and wanted to do something special for her. We were so very surprised, this made her day, such a small but meaningful thing to do for a customer. Thank you all so much, it means a lot.

Highly recommend staff are friendly and the cheese and ham sandwiches have very good quality along with the eggs would rate higher if I could

Excellent food and service. Wide range of breakfast choices for us at good prices. Caé has a lovely atmosphere, with a good atmosphere and very clean.

We were looking to eat for lunch and considered other places but they are £22-£25 for 2 courses each person and as an alternative Syrup ALWAYS GIVE great food at a decent price, service is always quick and staff are friendly and polite. We had a meal each with coffee and it was only £18 total. I chose a small breakfast with added bubble n squeak and black pudding. Why spend more than you need to ? When syrup have all you want and need.

I went in here this week. All the waitresses were very friendly with a ready smile. The restaurant was clean and very busy. My breakfast was very filling and very reasonably priced. Quite a noisy place but only because lots of families and is obviously very popular.

As I've said in other reviews, my wife's dietary needs Are GF, and as Michael once said, " and not a lot of people know that!!" The Syrup Cafe staff Inc the chef were so helpful, answering all her concerns. Thank you Syrup Cafe (all staff inc) and if we're passing through again you will be top of our 'to deffo do' list. Xx

Just stopped in Bognor Regis for a few hours & decided to have a light lunch before heading off. Syrup cafe was a gem of a find walking round. The food was lovely, lots of choice & staff very friendly & efficient. Would definitely recommend this place to eat & drink.

Ordered full double breakfast with chips which had everything thing you would expect plus a single beef burger (that’s a bit odd!) Two of everything but only one slice of toast. Pot of tea was extra. Overall I paid about nine quid. There was plenty of seating, the staff were very very friendly and I parked around the corner. What else could you want? Will come again!

chefstravels.com popped in for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised, good breakfast at a reasonable price, the order arrived quickly and the service was good. Always good to eat in a busy restaurant. I will definitely be returning soon. Happy staff and pleasant clean restaurant.

Went here on a Sunday morning for breakfast, and contrary to the previous review we thought this was a great place. The staff were helpful and friendly, greeting us on entry and explaining how things worked. We had a couple of special requests for our food and they patiently accommodated those. All 4 of us enjoyed our food and thought it was good value. My only tip would be to hold back a bit on the hollandaise sauce with the eggs benedict. Everything else was perfect. Decor and ambience were absolutely fine. We'll happily return!

Went in and was reluctantly greeted by a swarthy bloke who couldn't even muster a smile. Ordered two breakfasts (at the counter) and then had to wait 25 minutes. Very loud lowest-grade chart music blared out of the speakers throughout, some tracks playing on repeat. It becomes an endurance test of how much you can bear it. Twenty five long minutes later after our drinks had gone cold the breakfasts turned up. My order was missing the hash brown I asked for so I had to go back to the counter and ask for it. No cutlery, sauces, S+P or napkins were offered with the food or on the tables so back to the counter to get them. After waiting another five minutes for the hash brown I went back the counter *again* and had to ask for one, they'd forgotten already and I watched another swarthy bloke in the kitchen pick one up with his bare hands and put in on a greasy plate and handed it over without even a 'sorry about that'. After all that the breakfast was sub-par, edible but nothing special. We left without them even acknowledging us. You have to pay at the counter before the food is even severed. Had we paid after we finished like a normal place, I would have asked for a refund. Save your money, go to the Clockhouse Café in Bognor instead. It's cheaper, much better breakfast and the staff are efficient and friendly. Avoid this place.

not been here for a while , had the breakfast No.3 . £6.25 , really enjoyed it . nice comfy seats a bonus . keep up the good work syrup cafe

Went for breakfast and brought American breakfast the window sign was different price to the restaurant menu and asked the said its old menu haven’t been changed but still charged me the restaurant price

We popped into this lovely cafe this morning for brunch. Plenty of on road and off road car parking nearby. This place is really very nice indeed, good quality tables and seating with plenty of space so good re covid. The full English special was...

Excellent breakfasts all round, huge portions and cooked very well, staff were lovely and friendly and we were very impressed with the choice and service. We love going out for breakfast and this will now be our new regular haunt. Thank you.

Wow what a fry up. Fabulous food, fabulous staff. Been down here for the week on hols and came back twice. Only suggestions - use proper eggs when making scrambled (and not powder) and actual tomatoes (not tinned). Other than that would definitely recommend and...

Eat here at lunch time although busy food was served within 10 mins. Great food and at reasonable prices

go to the syrup once a week for breakfast always good quality. with effeicent staff i love the sausages extremly tasty and meaty where do you buy them? i want some myself. keep up the good work thank you.

Decided to come for lunch, waited at the door ignored by all the staff until I decided to take a seat with my girl on an only available table which was dirty. After waiting for about 10min to be served I was told by another...

The staff were friendly, well presented and we were made welcome on entry. They took our order with a smile and sorted our different needs with no fuss. The food came quicker than expected (they seemed busy) and all was very tasty. We went back...

Lovely range of syrups and nice snacks. Good coffee and affordable prices. Good pit stop to recharge your batteries with caffeine and sugar

We went today for our first post lockdown breakfast. The new furniture inside is wonderful and I would love a table and chairs like that at home. The cooked breakfast was excellent, and good value. We were regulars before COVID and we will be again...

Lovely welcome when u walk though door from staff great home cooked meals all day best lattes in town

Had a lovely experience, staff are quick to help and the food is amazing. Thank you we will see u again

Went to visit my daughter at uni with my son and decided to pop in here for some food and a drink. All I can say is YUM! Massive portions and lovely friendly service! We went late in the day but nothing was too much...

So I stood at the door waiting to be seated, staff milling around.... gave up, chose a freshly cleaned table.... I was invisible! No offer of a menu or a drink. Counted to ten and left. Instant service in Ricks....

the coffee is decent , but the english breakfast could be improved. sausages are small ,the egg was well done , bacon -standard, black pudding ok, chips ok, what ruins it for me was the beans and tinned tomatoes drowning everything ,then the two bits...

Great place to go especially if you want breakfast great service, clean and tidy inside and great price for what you are getting.

Good value , very well presented full English breakfast. We were served promptly and the breakfast was very good.

We came for a family breakfast out. Had a panini, eggs Benedict and eggs royal and sausages with beans and chips. The food was really good and we didn’t need to wait long. Drinks could have been cooler especially taking hot weather into account. Anyway it was a lovely meal and we enjoyed it a lot.

Our first 'visit' has been as a home delivery of breakfasts! Eggs Benedict, wraps and an English breakfast.Introduced by agrandson to this amazing cafe in Bognor Regis who are doing home deliveries! Easy on line ordering. Prompt delivery and hot food!And the food was of excellent quality, very generous portions and DELICIOUS. 10/10 all round. Will definitely be going back - an in person when we are able to finally be free to f the lockdown

I would give less than 1 star if I could.Been here before after friend recommended it and was great. Went today and ordered 2 BLT for take away. Drove to Beach and opened bag and had been given 2 chips and 2 full breakfasts, we took them back and was shocked that they just put them in another bag straight out for delivery again, and then said the other customer bought the BLT back and then they proceeded to give me the same bacon sandwiches that they had given to another customer and expected me to eat it, after someone else had taken it away in their car. Refused me a refund.If they cut corners like this and I can only imagine what else they cut corners on.So annoyed with this cafe , especially as driven 30 minutes to get there.I will never return and will never trust food from a stranger returned to a shop. Would you?

This has been a difficult period for cafes and restaurants and the people wishing to use them. I applaud those who have opened for take away, Syrup amongst them, and offer them best wishes for their survival. I really fancied a chicken burger as did my partner. It was a disappointment that they had only one in the early afternoon but it was very good and my partner was substituted a Syrup special burger at no extra cost. The food, including the chips, was good and reasonably priced. I will consider using this place again when we are all behaving (nearly) normally.

Excellent service after mix up with my order. 10/10 for my breakfast roll and coffee. Order came to table quickly after a mix up with order. The manager acted quickly to rectify the problem. I am so glad he did because experienced best breakfast roll this side of Weymouth. Looking forward to my next visit

Popular family cafe. Always bustling and busy. Very good value and staff are always polite and friendly.

Just collected our company breakfast order, it was fantastic. the order was taken over the phone and was exactly as requested, everything cooked to perfection and well presented, incredible value for money AND CHIPS TOO.The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the cafe had a great atmosphere.Will definitely be placing our future breakfast orders here

We have been coming here for years with family or solo, but today was the last time I ever go here again. The small child like woman behind the counter was so rude, huffing and puffing and snapping at me, I only made it half way through telling her my order before I just had to give up as I was no way going to part with my cash after being treated like something she had trodden in! I was there with my children and obviously they were upset about the situation but we went down the road to Howard's and had a lovely time so will be going here for future meals.

Absolutely love the breakfast here. Non greasy, well cooked, fast friendly service. Excellent value for money! I now come here every week with my mum.

Great little cafe. Very friendly with reasonable prices and friendly staff. This is the kind of place I like. Good basic food and a great choice.

It,s not easy on the coast to find somewhere that serves anything but Chips.This place does Roast Dinners every day.The Wife had Lamb(this appeared to be pulled)Fluffy roast potato's, carrots,peas and cauliflour with plenty of gravy.I went for the Steak Pie and Mash(The pie had a pastry base and top and looked more burger like) The pie being crammed full of pieces of really tender steak.Prices were really reasonable.

Well done Jordan a beautiful coffee and nice to see your happy face in the morning. You've put a smile on my face c

Good selection on the menu. The breakfasts are great and can be as big as you want. Very good service. Can’t fault the place

First visit here with the family for lunch,found the place a little noisy as the lady who took our order couldn’t hear what we said and we had to repeat four or five times,when order arrived they brought one meal wrong no apology just a grunt from the waitress.

First time we have been to this cafe good food and drinks with a big menu and good prices will differently be back

Lovely place, food is excellent and very good value. Always very clean and the staff are always very helpful and friendly.

Wow, this is a gem, not from the area and stumbled across this place was midday but we both fancied a breakie, what a shout, I had the medium, wife had the small, massive, freshly cooked, and latte was nice to, and great value

Yet again this place came up with a 5 star rating.

Had a nice Latte, while in Bognor Regis in February 2019.Nice service and value.the food looked good as well though i didnt have any.

Went in for a sandwich to take on the train the sausage was burnt and dry was a complete waste of money threw it in the bin

The Syrup Cafe, excellent place to eat. Very clean. Breakfast excellent. Staff very friendly and helpful. A regular visitor to this Cafe. And of course I will go back there. 😀 It's good value for money.

Excellent breakfast with good ingredients and hot on a HOT plate, Staff are friendly and welcoming and knowledgeable. Place is clean and toilets are clean too. Syrup cafe are doing a good job.

Have been using for last 6 months and great value for money.

Went there for breakfast one morning with some friends. Can’t fault it at all. Excellent value for money, staff very friendly and being a fussy eater they were accommodating at removing items but also adding something else free of charge unlike other places!! Will definitely go back again.

I have my coffee everyday here and meals it’s clean staff are fantastic food is great breakfast to dinner or just a snack you won’t get better

The food quality is great for the price. It’s hands down the best breakfast in Bognor. If I’m being picky then I’d say the service could be a little friendlier but it’s not something that overly bothers me, the food more than makes up for it. Oh and an amazing choice of iced teas and smoothies.

Nice little cafe for regulars to catch up. I visit the place roughly once every couple of weeks for breakfast and it’s always good.

I have been to syrup a few times before it got renovated and since. The food and service is consistently below average and not really as cheap as youd think. Very much overhyped café in a town full of average cafes all serving virtually the same stuff.

Lovely food from breakfasts, main meals and snacks, gets busy at lunchtimes. Just outside the main shopping area, but handy for lunch or snack before going to the cinema, or afterwards. Friendly staff (same family that own TBone) and very clean.

I travel 200mile and I have to always go great cafe the best a round, staff are nice great food all the times I have been,coffee is good nice and clean

Counter staff surly to the point of being rude. No pies or chicken available. Roast pork was rock solid one end and bland tasteless the rest of it no Apple sauce lumpy salty gravy, they have changed tea bags producing weak and tasteless dish water, so disappointing used to love it in there shame we will not be returning.

Such a friendly place and welcoming staff which was a great relief after our first bad encounter down the road. The place is well laid out and the food not greasy and super tasty. The milkshakes were amazing and the coffees were food too! Certainly recommend and a great spot to stop.

Food has always been very good, as previous reviews, good portions etc.

Whenever we visit the food is always good, the staff are friendly and the cafe is spotless. The prices are excellent too, definitely value for money.

The food was excellent, as usual, and Koni, my waitress, couldn't have been more helpful or courteous. Simply could not be faulted.

Clean cafe. Spacious. Order at till and pay at time of ordering. Good sized portion. Downside was sons sandwich came out with the underside with wet soggy bread. However I quickly showed them this and they made a fresh one. On another note very pleased to see that they are using paper straws rather than the plastic ones.

Excellent, no need to say much else, good value good portion size decent quality. Will I be back? Yes.

Went here for lunch on Tuesday whilst on holiday. Great menu plenty of choices for all tastes. Club wrap with salad and chips was fantastic and lots of it. Cheese omelette very tasty and cheese and ham toast it thoroughly enjoyed. Would definitely visit again when back in the area.

Have been here a few times and not once has it lived up to the hype people seem to give it. The food is always below average at best. The service is generally non existent and even though the place has been renovated the cleaning standards has not changed.

Work has bought me back near Bognor, great. I can carry on reviewing all their cafes and people watching their 'finiest' citizens. Syrup is a delightful little cafe just off the busy part of town.

Was in there yesterday had coffee with friends. They are normally very good but was disappointed as my cappuccino was not very hot so I told one of the waitress that it was only warm I did drink half of the cappuccino .waitress said she would change it but then came back said sorry could not do that and took my drink. I told her that I would not be coming back here then if that's the case. And I've been here many times but normally have herbal tea so I fancied some thing different this time and ended up with just warm cappuccino.

The Syrup Cafe in my opinion is the best place to go for a great quality , well cooked cafe meal . It's situated in the town centre and offers Breakfasts , Lunches , Sandwiches and hot and cold drinks . Their Breakfasts are fantastic and extremely good value for money. Various lunches are served and are also high quality . Grills , roasts and kids meals etc are available . The cafe is clean and the staff are attentive and friendly . Value for money this definately gets a big thumbs up from my family and I. Definately worth many visits

Nice coffees and the biscuits that come with them are a nice touch. Good value breakfasts (please don't change the sausages!) with eggs cooked perfectly every time. Lots of staff so food is bought quickly, tables cleaned promptly.

I have been here many times and it's always been ok, today went with a group and after ordering our breakfasts and one arriving 15 minutes after everyone else's we just ignored the rude waitress who didn't even apologise but were very upset and extremely embarrassed to be asked to be quiet after we laughed at a joke one of our group told. I don't think the owner realises he owns a cafe not a library. When asked what his issue was he shouted at my mother in front of everyone saying we were disturbing other guests. This was clearly not the case as we knew most of the people in there. After she explained we would never be returning he announced his apology to the other customers before we walked out. They all looked at us with awkwardness and all the people we knew in there said he's clearly just in a bad mood and needed someone to take it out on. They were just as embarrassed as us. Safe to say that's 7 people who will not be back.

We arrived at Syrup cafe to start one of my besties birthday celebrations food all ordered. At the end of eating breakfast our friend started opening her birthday cards from us all We were all laughing and having a joke as you do, when a miserable and sour faced member of waiting staff came over and told us to be quiet. In all my years of visiting and eating in a high street cafe we have never been told to be quiet. Absolutely disgusted and angered by this it's a public place so its going to be noisy!!! The owner was rather rude and arrogant arguing with my friend when she went up to complain to him about being told to shut up and that we would never go back!!! Food was not all that and service was rubbish. That's 7 customers they have lost!!!!

7 of us Went for breakfast before a day out. Owner? Manager? had already stated that he was not happy because he was short staffed, food was nice enough, although took a while to arrive. During our meal, we were talking and laughing, when the waitress came over, stated that the aforementioned owner/manager wanted us to stop laughing as we were too loud! Very poor customer service. Needless to say he won't have to worry about us laughing in there again.

We’ve been going to syrup for over a year now and the service is always great, staff are friendly and the food is freshly prepared and good price. Best breakfast in Bognor!!

Lovely cafe, lovely efficient, friendly and polite staff. Good range of dishes to choose from, freshly prepared. Huge portions and very reasonably priced. BREAKFASTS WOW.

I have had several Sunday morning breakfasts here and the service is great. Pay for the number breakfast you want and it will be with you really quickly. Pot of tea can make you three cups and all hot drinks served with a biscuit.

English breakfast is done to the perfection. I do not have big breakfasts, and the option 1 of everything was the best for me. I really recommend the sausage.The very tasty coffee as well.

wonderful food, plentiful,nice and hot. Fantastic value for money. Great coffee. Very friendly staff. Will definitely go back.

Lovely breakfast and a lot of selections. Even though I had to remind them of my order after 15 minutes (they had forgotten even though they weren't that busy) the breakfast was excellent. Slightly sticky table but hey ho

What a divine cafe to just sit back and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere of the place, the staff are so helpful, the food is just as good and plenty on the plate to enjoy, they also have a full range food menu, so just go and enjoy the place

The team know their regulars. Friendly place where everyone seems to know each other. Food nice and hot.

Love this place, both the staff and breakfasts are amazing! Good options available for both food and drinks, they always try to fulfill all requests. Highly recommend.

Cafe was very busy on our visit and gave a waiting time of 20 minutes on ordering , but came earlier than that food was good , slightly over cooked, but drinks (teas and coffees ) were not good. Staff working hard to get everyone's food out!

Been here a few times x its brilliant and food is amazing x always visit for pancakes and milkshakes x

What can I say about this place other than amazing! The staff are friendly, the food is served piping hot and promptly and it's situated right across from Bognor train station. This cafe does amazing breakfasts at great cost AND here's the big AND DECENT coffee none of this freeze dried rubbish fresh ground decent coffee! Try asking for a syrup flavour they don't have to add to the flavour of that coffee I was shocked at just how many flavours they had! Don't fancy a coffee? Try the tea milkshakes or fizz this cafe does it all. Do your self a favour if your going in for a coffee try a bit of what ever is in the cake cabinet their amazing ! In fact I can honestly say there's nothing I've eaten in here that I've not liked it's all served quickly, be it eat in or take away! Bacon sausage n mushroom baguette my favourite to take away or I normally go for breakfast 3. Work in the train station so it's quick and easy for me and a regular visit! Also don't be afraid yo try th American breakfasts of pancakes they were spot on!

We ate here one morning as a work treat for a work colleague who was leaving . Anyhow I am a fan of a Full English Breakfast and we chose this place as it was easy to get to and had a good reputation. We were not disappointed either as the breakfast was massive as expected but not stupidly big . It was cooked lovely and not greasy and it was served promptly and correctly as being a group of us we each tailored them to suit all washed down with a nice hot drink . Great Value for money for the quality and quantity of food we had , Look forward to coming here again when I can . Great Cafe !

Quick service & satisfied grandchildren with the best milkshake ever!! Great place whilst in town shopping or cinema..

Have only lived in the area for just over a year now and for some reason I hadn't eaten here before now, I dnt normally go out for breakfast either but this place took me by surprise, the place looks great and the full English breakfast was amazing, i went for the syrup 3, reminded me of my dad's cooked breakfast when I used to live back home! Staff we really friendly too

This cafe used to be the bet in Bognor, but since its refit it has gone so downhill. Items missing from the breakfast, long waits (I do appreciate good food takes time to cook) but it was stone cold and items missing when received it. No one asks if everything is okay basically just dropped the breakfast on the table and ran away. Maybe another staff member is needed if you can't keep up with the extra custom.
