Its an outside sheltered space.. corrugated iron and wood decor. Nice cakes and coffee - free parking. I found it cold and windy and not good for quiet conversation - acoustics are lousy - but I imagine on a warm day, it would be enjoyable. Staff lively and friendly, good buzz...

The day I went was exceptionally hot and because the crate is basically a large shed type building with corrugated roofing with open air gaps made the atmosphere claustrophobic for me. But the fact that there are horses in the field and the food was lovely. It wasn't a bad day.

3.5 stars for The Crate. The location is interesting, it's basically a few shipping containers in a car park...the view out of the back is nice with the horses, but if you're at the front you're in a car park. Service is a bit chaotic in that you have to go up when they call your name, but it's so loud inside that you keep getting up and going to check. They did warn of a 15 min wait for hot drinks so this was expected, but that is a very long time...I've never waited so long in another coffee shop, so I think this could be managed more efficiently somewhere. The breakfast wrap really was very tasty, I'm going to make them at home now. Extremely filling and hearty, very good ingredients. Sadly the coffee was really not good at all and went in the bin. I can see why The Crate gets great reviews based on the area and what else is on offer.

Visited for the first time yesterday. What a beautiful spot! Great location, plenty of parking, delicious and varied food options all at a reasonable price, fantastic views and horses at the back! The service was quick and friendly. I am looking forward to returning with friends one evening to enjoy the bar, but on this visit I had coffee and lunch. My one piece of feedback is that it would be lovely to have the option of a mug/plate for dining in customers, rather than only paper cups/plates. The coffee was delicious, but would have been even better out of a real cup (and more sustainable too)! Thanks for a wonderful morning.

The Crate has hit on the perfect formula - right place, right time, right product! The addition of a pizza oven has made it pretty much perfect. Always have a decent range of beer on tap, loads of soft drink option including some delicious smoothies. The decor is a blend of rustic and industrial and it works brilliantly. Open-air dining with cover when it rains and heaters when it’s cold!

What a lovely little gem of a place. The food was wonderful. The toilets were clean and smelling lovely. There were some horses in the field that come right up to the edge. I will definitely be visiting again. I had a BLT sandwich and it was spot on. Ice cool cider.

I normally like going to The Crate. It’s a great cycling stop. Unfortunately, today, the coffee was absolutely awful. The first attempt looked and tasted like brown water. A second attempt wasn’t much better. I will certainly go back but they need to do something about their choice of coffee or the coffee machine. Something is definitely wrong.

After ordering we waited for ages for the food to arrive. When it did mine was barely warm and my husbands was a little warmer but not hot. I am not sure if their was a delay in bringing our food out and it had gone cold. I did return mine and said it was barely warm. I got a gruff ill sort it. The lady came out 10 minutes later, apologetic with a brand new dish. It even had cheese on this time. Love the place but in future will only order cake.

I was disappointed about the sustainable ethos if drinks & food are served using disposable cups & boxes, perhaps no room for a dishwasher tho'. I thought contaminated stuff could not be recycled? It took a while to get a simple herbal tea, odd, as many staff seemed available. Overall it was a nice visit & probably need to revisit on a nicer day to enjoy the outdoor feel this cafe has. Nice touches with blankets & the heater felt indulgent!!

Lovely spot to drop into. I appreciated the Bali vibes as an Aussie, felt very reminiscent of some of the cafes back home. The build your own butty was great, as was the acai smoothie and coffees. We'd certainly return, but perhaps on a warmer, less windy day as the crate doesn't provide a fully weather proof experience, as is to be expected! It is good for families with younger kids as there's ample space and loads of high chairs available.

I had a wonderful experience at The Crate in Bosham. My wife and I arrived only 20 minutes or so after the morning opening time and the atmosphere was already buzzing; this place is clearly very popular. When the food arrived it was clear to understand why. Hands down, it was the best cafe style food I've had. Veggie wrap for me and advocado and eggs on toast for my wife. Excellent coffee, and friendly service to boot, what more could one ask for!

I had coffees and a breakfast wrap at The Crate and found the staff to be friendly, efficient and helpful. The coffee was great and the wrap was excellent, packed with top notch stuff. A serviette is definitely required, however. The surroundings are eclectic with some seats having views across a horse paddock, the food and drink supplied in takeaway containers, so the experience is nearer the rustic end of the silver-service/picnic continuum. Thoroughly enjoyable and spent three hours there in a flash. Parking is free, too.

The Crate Bosham is a warm, welcoming place to meet up with friends or family for breakfast, second breakfast, brunch, or dinner. I hear they have a bar and live music in the evenings. I visited during the day and I was impressed by the outstanding menu options. Being vegan and from the U.S., vegan options can be few and far between. However, I was so pleased to see an entire menu full of vegan options! For brunch, I ordered a vegan salad bowl which came with sweet potatoes, grilled veggies, falafel, and hummus over a bed of micro greens. My son enjoyed a chocolate croissant and my daughter, a breakfast wrap.

We visited as a family for 8 (6 adults, 2 little ones) and we're catered for perfectly. All of us enjoyed our food and the selection was great! Even the 3 and 6 year old in our group were happy! Thank you for delicious food, a lovely setting and delightful service, making little adjustments to keep our little ones happy!
