The Cockpit Cafe in Chichester

Absolutely delicious refreshments and wonderful service! Good choice of lunches and very good coffee and soft drinks selection.

Excellent food and lots to choose from. Lovely ladies serving, 5 star service. We had an early lunch here before going round the museum, hlad we did.

We had lunch here whilst visiting Tangmere Aviation museum. The girls were lovely, very friendly and smiling. The coffee was amazing and even had aircraft coffee art on the froth. Food was really good, plenty to eat and nicely presented. Give this lovely cafe a go if you're in the area

Had coffee and lunch here while visiting the Tangmere military aviation museum. Really enjoyed the coffee and the Goats’ cheese, bacon and cranberry salad. Would be regulars if we lived in the area.

This lovely little cafe is part of Tangmere Military Aviation Museum and I visited Sunday as part of a CWGC group - about 20 of us. This was for prearranged ‘coffee & cake’ and we were served quickly be a very professional team. Nothing was too much trouble for the cafe staff - thank you girls, we enjoyed our break with you! The museum is well worth a visit too - for families and aviation enthusiasts alike!

Enjoyed a lovely cup of tea & the fruit & cheese scones were delicious 😋. Lovely place with delightful staff.

Excellent place ,and very pleasantly surprised at the professional way i was treated. Food looked lovely and will definitely come back and try the menu, the coffee and Victoria sponge cake I had was delightful. Service was second to none and now have found my special place of heaven. Lovely people , scrumptious food and a special place to sit and relax . Thankyou cockpit cafe .

Part of the Tangmere Aviation museum Only small, but more tms adequate for coffee etc or lunch with a useful range of eateries A nice place

The cafe is simply wonderful. The staff were great today. The menu and choice is surprisingly good. Charming names for items too, such as Typhoon Tea! Thank you for making the visit to the cafe wonderful. Will be back again soon.

Amazing this is the best cafe that I have ever been to and I will definitely be coming back here in the future the air museum that is connected to it brings a billing reason to goo there. Definitely recommended

Good coffee and light bites ,service excellent,small area but perfect when visiting the aero museum,good prices and definitely area to warm up if you've been exploring the whole museum as some displays are outside

A gem of a cafe serving scrumptious sandwiches, panini, light lunches, afternoon tea and cakes, as well serving those visiting Tangmere Military Aviation Museum next door. Charming, cheerful friendly staff, great service and wonderful atmosphere. Well worth seeking out, and, if you've time, visit the excellent Museum next door.

The food was freshly prepared and the service was excellent. The food was so tasty and reminded us of homemade offerings.

Whilst waiting to visit my son I thought I'd pop into the museum, and take advantage of a light bite for lunch. Arrived at museum for around 1. Had a quick look at 1 section then went to cafe for a sandwich. I will say they have an excellent choice of sandwiches, panini, salads and choice of drinks and delicious looking cakes. Service was fast and pleasant, and a tea in a proper teapot. That gave just over 2 cups. The only thing that stopped me giving 5 stars was they couldnt do me any sandwiches etc, as sadly theyd stopped doing them. Had I known that i would have gone in there first. I did check the website before and merely stated all made freshto order.no time limits. Plus I'd have thought on a saturday they could have extended the sandwich time. It was very quiet, only couple of tables outside so staff weren't exactly pushed. ( time for drinks,crisps and icecream while sat at table) However the tea cake was fine and even had jam, and did fill a gap tilling could nip to local co op for a sandwich ( sadly probably not as good) If I visit again ( from the IOW) I'll definitely try to get earlier.

We had lunch at the museum and I have a food intolerance, which can make such visits a bit of a mission. The staff were very accommodating and the food was great, so much so, that we had tea & cake later on.

We visited the Aviation Museum today, which was excellent. The Cockpit Cafe was amazing. We enjoyed beautiful (well presented and well filled) sandwiches with our drinks. There is a super choice and the staff are very welcoming . I only wishI had taken photos before...

This csfe is set in the iconic and grm of a museum on the historic WWII airfield. You can pop into the cafe without going into the museum if you wish but the museum is packed full of interesting exhibits and well worth the entran...

Nice little cafe in the museum! Good selection of sandwiches, paninis, baked spuds, soup etc. Decent coffee as well. All service with a big smile!

Good value for your money. Very pleasant staff. Limited menu but we were happy with the choice available

Decided to go for lunch, never disappointed here, amazing food (coleslaw is beyond amazing 😍) atmosphere is lovely, friendly helpful staff. Very happy you guys are open again, keep up the good work and stay safe 😊

Absolutely adore coming to this cafe. The staff are always polite and service is fantastic. A great range including vegan and gluten free. Great spot to meet and have a chat.

We love coming to the cockpit cafe. It’s local to us, so we can walk there. We love the cakes and toasted sandwiches. It’s exactly what you would expect from a cafe, sandwiches, jacket potatoes and cakes and great hot drinks. We visit as a...

Excellent coffee and lemon cake with a huge chunky bacon sandwich thank you Cockpit café. Love the Spitfire chocolate sprinkles on the coffee'

Went in last summer on a Sunday with my good friends for a catch up and a look around the museum. You’d think this cafe would have better service than this and that it wouldn’t be so busy. I tried to complain but the manager...

Fantastic choice of delicious food for all ages and dietary requirements and friendly people Couldn’t ask for more.

After visiting museum for almost 2 hours, I decided it was time to take a break - the Cockpit Cafe was just the next door, so I had my afternoon coffee there. And I enjoyed it very much! Very friendly staff, good coffee - it...

Brilliant cafe and very reasonably priced. Even put a chocolate sprinkles silhouette of a spitfire on my cappuccino!

Our group of 36 pre-booked morning coffees and a later lunch. It was all delivered on time with delicious sandwiches and home prepared tray bakes. It’s well worth a visit even if you are not going to the superb museum.

My husband and I visited on Bank holiday Monday. We had a very pleasant afternoon walking around the museum. We decided to have some lunch in the Cockpit cafe. The food was extremely delicious, beautifully presented and worth every penny. When we had finished my...

Located at the Tangmere Military Aviation museum. Staff were very pleasant and welcoming and the food very nice. Long may this kind of establishment remain as they bring something special for visitors

What a lovely find. Food in cafe is amazing. Wide choice of share boards, paints/sandwiches and lovely vegan food. Drinks are excellent. The service is 1st class and friendly. Actual museum is a maze of incredible information. Probably give yourself a couple of hours to...

As a volunteer at Tangmere I must confess I use this lovely new cafe at least once a week. The menu for such a small cafe is far above average with sandwiches, toasties, paninis, Cornish Pasties, sausage rolls, & cakes etc. The coffee and teas...

I was at the wonderful museum with my children, and I must say I had low expectations of the cafe, as many museums have pretty average food. Boy, was I wrong! The food is delicious! My children had a Brie and bacon toastie (pictured), which...

First visit to this lovely cute little cafe. Friendly staff, really nice food. Extremely good milkshakes. Definitely recommend can’t wait to try some cakes on the next visit.

Spent the day Tuesday enjoying the museum. Volunteers have wonderful stories. We stopped at the on site Cockpit Cafe for lunch, certainly not disappointed. My Brie & Bacon Panini was mouth watering. And my husband enjoyed his cockpit club. We even managed to grab a...

Popped in today to see how much the cafe has changed, it’s amazing to see it thriving. Food was amazing, staff are bubbly, and happy to help. The Coleslaw hit the spot, deffo be back very soon.

Brilliant lunch with the family, great service. Nice food, great to walk around the museum and grab a bite after!

Met up with work colleagues for a spot of lunch, great sandwich lunch, lovely location friendly, helpful staff, would definitely recommend and would definitely visit again.

Friendly little cafe on site at the museum, nice cuppa n cake, and unlike most cafes in museums the prices are just right. They have seating inside and out. The sandwiches are made on site and the fillings tasty.

Had a lovely lunch after walking round the museum! Best lunch in our weeks holiday! Cockpit Club Sandwich had lovely toasted bread with fresh chicken & ham off the bone with salad leaves & mayonnaise. Served with coleslaw. The cakes looked good too but didn't...

Went back to the Cockpit Cafe today for the second time for lunch. Again we enjoyed the ploughmans and our great-granddaughter enjoyed the charcuterie board and the food was excellent just like the first time and the staff were cheerful and helpful well done to...

A team of 4 working from a very small kitchen do a great job here. Nice selection of lunchtime food and drinks at fair prices. You may wait a while at peak times.

We were extremely ravenous having spent the morning in the adjacent museum, the cafe was recommended to us upon arrival by the staff and boy they were so right about the quality of the food. We both opted for sandwiches - one club and one...

We visited the cafe twice during our day at Tangmere - firstly for coffee (lovely) and a selection of delicious homemade cakes then for lunch. Everything is freshly made and great value for money. The food is nicely presented and I only wish we'd had...

Lovely little cafe with simple but nice food. Good coffee too locally sourced, attached to the museum which has lots to see.

A superb cafe, which has only been up and running at Tangmere for a short time, but offers some great food and just keeps getting better! I am a regular visitor to the Cockpit Cafe and have tried a wide selection of the menu options,...

Excellent food and excellent service and staff were so friendly. Really friendly with the kids and the cafe area was so quaint.

Best ploughmans ever. Classy, very well presented. Cheese amazing. Pickled onions sublime. Extremely tasty. Yummy. Very friendly staff.

Excellent service, really friendly staff and a wonderful selection of goodies with creative, aviation names!! The food was delicious! Very glad that we came and ate at The Cockpit Café!!

Great find. Lovely food. Good pricing and even better friendly owners and team members. Sat outside with our two dogs watching the world go by.

Lovely themed cafe adjoining the famous airfield museum associated with WW2 Fighter ace Douglas Bader. Easy to get to off the A27, a good to stopover pre or post negotiation of the myriad Chichester roundabouts. Cafe is open without having to visit the museum with...

The Cockpit Cafe opened on Tuesday the 1st of June. Great coffee, tea, sandwiches, toasties and paninis. Not checked out the sausage rolls, Cornish pasties or cakes yet. The flat white coffee is fantastic and I can personally recommend the brie and bacon toastie and...

Lovely setting,with inside and outside seating areas.As there is a separate entrance you do not necessarily have to be visiting the Aviation Museum, extensive menu,would recommend.
