The Old Piggery Farm Shop and Tearoom in Chichester

Found this shop online as was looking to purchase a good quality black sheepskin rug. Based on previous reviews,I made my purchase and am absolutely delighted with it.

Nice little local cafe. Can't really comment on food as we only had 2 flat white coffees - what can I say? Coffee was nice & hot, lovely service but coffee taste? ....cannot recommend...a 'nothing' taste - definitely needs a re-think. Loved looking around the shop, lots of interesting things to tempt if you're looking for unusual Xmas gifts, & plenty of soft fluffy sheepskins & lovely sheepskin slippers, gloves etc Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

What an Amazing Gem of a place … don’t be fooled by the basic outside ! Inside is Gorgeous and Friendly with frankly Lovely Food … Enjoyed by All (9 of us) ! Great Birthday Treat ! We’ll be Back !

This is a great place for food and coffee loved it good prices If you go try the crab 🦀

Pulled in off the road for a lunchtime snack, attracted by a sign promising 'Crab Sandwiches'. Inside, the place has a lovely atmosphere, and - at the time we visited - a shrine to the Rolling Stones (close association with nearby Witterings). A lifesize cardboard Mick Jagger even greeted you in the 'loo! Wacky! Oh, and the crab sandwiches were excellent.

Amazing crab sandwiches! Resisted the temptation to ask if I could play the Ephiphone ‘Les Paul’ on display. Not sure about the life-sized cardboard Mick Jagger in the toilet 😂. Can’t comment on the farm shop aspect except I was expecting fresh produce and there didn’t seem to be any…

We went last week to get some pork scratchings but unfortunately they didn't have any, very disappointed but then the gentleman there said they could post some out to us the next day. To say we were happy was an understatement service over and above we will be back.

We detoured on our journey to visit here after being recommended, it was fantastic, lovely little farm shop and tea room. The Crab BLT was phenomenal, generous portion too! Thank you, we'll be back

Never disapoints Excellent surroundings music and great host Big Rolling Stones fan Thoroughly enjoyed my crab 🦀 sandwich Well done all

I saw this place advertised, looked at their website and it looked very promising. We decided to give it a go and stopped for some food and drink. The initial impression is a bit daunting with piles of pallets all around the yard. The shop is a strange mix of products. It's very dark and dull and did not have the sheepskin range that I thought I was going to see. There were some lovely items but the general range is very limited. The tearoom is lovely and like a different world from the shop and we were very pleased with the crab sandwiches. Service was fast and polite. My friend was unhappy with the cream tea as she felt the scone was dry though and it was a supermarket brand jam. If I had read these reviews beforehand I'm not sure that I would have visited. It just feels that with a little effort and a lick of paint in parts this place could be so much more. Appearance is important. I understand from reading previous reviews that mine will be ripped apart and that's not a good look either.

Arrived about 2:45 (website stated open to 4:00 even the menus stated food served to 3:40) no customers in cafe. We got the distinct impression that staff wanted to leave. Table was not clean. Wipe clean (!) menus were sticky. Staff started sweeping floor around us whilst we ate. If you want to close at 3:00 don't advertise open to 4:00! And as for the 'farm shop' I did not see any local produce that you'd expect in a farm shop. Not the best of experiences.

What a find! I highly recommend the Old Piggery for it's lovely staff and the very best crab sandwiches and crispy salad I've eaten in a long time. The farm shop is also worth a visit with many reasonably priced items. I wished I lived nearer.

Absolutely love my sheepskins. They look great on my dining table benches. Thank you

We had a lovely afternoon celebrating a Hen party, the food was delicious and the staff were wonderful, really friendly and made us feel very welcome.

We had booked here for lunch on our way to stay in Selsey. They had reserved a table for the 6 of us. After a long journey three of us had arrived before the others so enjoyed a lovely coffee while we waited. We had various sandwiches which everyone enjoyed and the crab sandwiches were absolutely delicious. The kids had milkshakes and the rest of us had soft drinks. Plenty of parking. Dog friendly. Toilets. Shop area. Well worth a visit.

We had heard good things about The Old Piggery and we weren’t disappointed ! We had ordered afternoon tea for 5 as 3 of us were celebrating our Birthdays around the same time. The staff were warm and welcoming and we got shown to the table in front of the flowery Old Piggery wall for plenty of photo opportunities, The afternoon tea was delicious and generous, we were pleased we were all hungry ! A member of our party has a nut allergy, they took particular care to put her food on it’s own 3 tier cake stand. After tea we all had a browse in the shop and bought gifts to take home, a thoroughly enjoyable experience all round. We will be back to try different dishes on the menu.

Well worth the 5 * review. The food was all freshly done to order, (so expect to wait for a bit), and such huge portions, all nicely presented. We were on holiday in the area and visited twice and both times we were welcomed so warmly, which was such a pleasure. Absolutely no negatives, very well worth a isit.

Had a lovely breakfast here! Beautiful food, great service, dog friendly as well! The shop had some brilliant bits in too.

Food was lovely and lady serving us was great. Was a bit warm in there though

A slightly odd little place with good coffee and great cakes (among other things) - worth a visit

Ordered a rug online on the 11th July. It finally arrived on the 26th July. Being worried about the whereabouts of my rug I’d emailed 3 times, without the courtesy of a response. I therefore phoned and spoke to a lady who said someone would contact me the following day. Nobody did. I then phoned again, no answer so had to leave a message. Again, no response or update. Absolutely appalling customer service. I will NOT buy from them again

These were possibly one of the most expensive and the worst crab sandwiches l have ever had, just like cheap tinned crab, my wife’s prawn sandwich tasted old and like rubber she only eat 1/4 of a sandwich.Poor value for the money. The tea was good as was the service and cheerful staff. I certainly won’t be calling again.

Bought some great value plant pots from here, and they have a lovely selection of home wares. Will be coming back

Delicious food, though a little on the pricey side. Excellent service, including offering to do 2 small milkshakes after I'd asked for 1 for my children to share, which was very thoughtful (and the end results looked barely any smaller than a full size one!). A really nice accidental father's day lunch.

Disappointing, jacket potatoes just warm and did ot taste like cooked same day, the house Crab sandwich was basic but very tasty but at nearly £15 it was over priced. Friendly efficient staff in an interesting establishment.

Lovely Place totally dog friendly amazing local crafts

We came here to use the shop. We needed to find a staff member to serve us. Then we paid £10 each for 2 crab, I get them delivered to Guildford just as fresh for £7.50. It's a shame this place is not the exciting farm shop it was a couple of years ago.

Called in for the White crab meat sandwiches advertised outside. Ordered the WHITE crab sandwiches on menus. We got brown crab meat sandwiches which was not acceptable especially at £14 pound. We complained and they replaced with white meat which were very nice.no apologies from owner so be careful when you order white crab meat sandwiches not to be palmed of with the cheap brown meat.

Zero vegetarian options for breakfast. Actual quote from staff member “we just like a full English”. Couldn’t even offer eggs on toast or anything, just no vegetarians welcome

We were lured in by the promise of delicious white crab meat in their 'famous crab sandwich ' but disappointed that it was brown mushy crab meat! When we pointed this out to the waitress she seemed quite surprised that we should have complained. Would definitely not bother going again. Billy's on the Beach in Selsey is far better!

Doesn’t look much on the outside but pleasantly surprised by the interior - had the jacket potatoes for lunch with salad and crisps - very tasty and not a bad price. Worth popping in for a bite to eat.

Great little place to drop and eat in or take away. Recommend the crab sandwiches.

VERY expensive sandwiches. Following this we went to the museum at Tangmere; here we had sandwiches which were on better bread, very well filled and came with a proper salad (not just what I'd call a garnish). OK there were no crisps included but the sandwiches were easily 1/2 the price!

Had a drink there nice decor friendly atmosphere :)

Really nice Dog friendly Tea Room & Shop. Compact menu, reasonably priced. Interesting customer toilet. Plenty of free parking.

What a special find. So much to feast your eyes, and taste buds, on. We'll be back!

I recently purchased 2 Medium Short Wool Shearling Sheepskin Rugs in Oyster via the online shop. They were really well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. They are beautiful quality rugs and I am really very pleased with them. They feel like great value for money too.

It was my big birthday last week and I had the good fortune of being treated to lunch at the Old Piggery by my boss with several other members of our amazing team. We had such a lovely lunch, the food and service were great. It was a fantastic kick off to my birthday celebrations. A massive thank you and thumbs up to the Old Piggery.

I ordered a sheepskin foot stool - arrived very promptly It is beautiful , fantastic quality, great price, 100% recommended Thank you

Bought a sheepskin rug, really disappointed it was badly made in China! Poorly tanned, stiff and smelly, cut badly and not even carded through. Avoid this company, not a much of a farm shop if can't sell locally sourced products!!!

Very quaint little tea/coffee shop attached to a small farm shop. Good coffee. Lovely cake. Wasn't too busy when we went but was in the middle of the week. I'd definitely go back

The Old Piggery Farm Shop and Tea Room is a nice place to pop in for a bite to eat. The farm shop had a nice selection of goods and the tea room had a lovely relaxed atmosphere and felt like a cosy place to retreat amidst the wet weather outside! My only feedback is that we expected more pig-related food and products, given the name of the place, yet we found the tea room leaned more towards crab as it's USP menu items, and the farm shop had lots of sheep skin products. Otherwise a lovely visit, and we enjoyed the food, shop, and general atmosphere. We'd recommend and would likely return the next time we're back in the area.

Visited today for the first time. Nice that dogs are welcomed. Farm shop was good, if not stacked to the brim, but some nice things - munching on a lovely biscuit as I write this review! Sheepskins were lovely - as soon as I find a use for them I'll know where to come to. The tea room - lovely! A bit quirky, warm and inviting. Husband had a toffee muffin / cake, and couldn't finish it fast enough. I had a crab BLT, which was tasty, and large - I brought half home with me! Good cappuccino, comfy seating. Had a nice chat with the owner, who was very friendly and welcoming. Delightful - we'll be back!

The owner of this establishment is an appallingly unpleasant man who was extremely rude and aggressive towards us when we came in for lunch. He kicked our children off their seats, and showed zero regard for us as customers. The ladies serving there were charming however.

Absolutely incredible food and friendly staff! We came here for Mother’s Day afternoon tea and the whole experience was amazing 🤍 The presentation of the food was another level and tasted even better! The staff were so friendly, happy to have a chat with us and even got a Mother’s Day gift which was a beautiful touch! It was well worth the hour and a half drive! Highly recommend!

Beautiful Mothers day breakfast. Thankyou for our crystal x

We had the crab BLT sandwich.. absolutely fantastic.. great service great food definitely recommend.

You always get a warm welcome at the Old Piggery Farm Shop. Plus the food is great. Well worth a visit.

On entering you are hit with a waft of cheap room perfume. We ordered one Americano and one Flat white to take away. We both threw the watery tasteless fluid away. Very disappointing.

Lovely quirky farm shop and dog friendly tea rooms we have visited before. Lovely welcome. We met 2 friends on husbands birthday but a few more turned up as a surprise so we all ordered at different times which was no problem. Great crab sandwich for me and a lovely full breakfast for hubby. The cakes were amazing too. The owner kindly gave my husband a lovely gift for his birthday from the shop. Would highly recommend.

Popped to The Old Piggery for lunch on a whim as we were visiting the area and we are so glad we did! Absolutely lovely farm shop at tea room. The owner is so lovely and kind, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is relaxed and inviting. We are already keen to go back next time we are in the area! The crab sandwich and crab jacket potato are a must! So tasty!

We visited on a cold blustery day. Had a quick look around the shop, then entered the Tearoom. It was lovely and warm with a nice cozy atmosphere. we just had coffees today which were fine . The food did look nice. I will be paying another visit.

Great food and tea lovely staff. But toilets could do with an up grade as there are no disabled facilities

Lovely afternoon tea to celebrate with Friends and Family for a Baby Shower. Thank you everyone

We booked for an afternoon tea for a Baby Shower and we have had a lovely time. The food was lovely and plenty of it, takeaway goodie bags were most welcome. The post customer care amazing and huge thanks to the staff who were so helpful.

Ordered a short shearling rug online. Fantastic delivery and excellent customer service. Rug was just what I wanted. Would highly recommend this company.

Received my 2 sheepskins today and they are absolutely beautiful! Have transformed 2 very ordinary looing chairs into something with the 'wow' factor. Great customer service (when the delivery company messed up) Resolving the issue immediately.

We took a trip down today to look at the snow globes. Having purchased a pewter salt and pepper boat for a birthday gift a couple of weeks ago (which was lovely). We arrived in time for breakfast which was fantastic - honestly the best bacon I have ever tasted. Service throughout was faultless and we left not only with the snow globe but some beautiful glass ware for Christmas gifts. A local walk was recommended so we stopped off on the way home and it was indeed a beautiful spot. Definitely be back - for gifts, for breakfast/lunch and for a wander down to the sea. A beautiful spot - thank you for the recommendation and thank you for such a worthwhile trip x

What a hidden gem. We had a lovely afternoon tea with a free wobbly coffee..yum. The owner was very entertaining and welcoming. Will definitely revisit very soon x

Do not buy online, misleading images and terrible service.

Placed an order online, when it arrived it wasn't what I had expected, colour was wrong. Emailed them, got a poor response that i had ordered the wrong colour, emailed again with images from their website demonstrating the colour chosen. Got another terrible reply. Customer service very very poor.

Oh dear, poor and limited choice. The cake selection totalled 4 different types and were wafer thin. Overpriced not worth stopping at, should have gone on to Runcton or other local Tearooms

We visited twice over five days. Both times the food was excellent and the host ( Martin) and staff were a delight. Will return at first opportunity when visiting the area.

A good cafe limited choice but good quality. Had not been here for a few years as don't live in the area, shame the brilliant farm shop has reduced down to such a small space. But understandable. Nice they allow dogs into the cafe.

not much choice for us but the flies enjoyed everyhing there were so many hovering over our food would not go again

Beautifully designed farm shop and cafe. Lovely place to visit! Much more than just a regular farm shop, unique and quirky, stylish and you can find quality boutique items in there too. 😍

A place that's bit different. Well worth a visit, nice food.

Really good quality food well worth it will go back if I'm in the areas

Always a warm welcome. Famous crab sandwich lunch but cakes always very tempting. Friendly farm shop too

Stopped for a takeaway crab sandwich so didn't go in the tea room. Expensive but amazing quality and very generously filled. Seriously good bread. Tasty and soft. Not often that I would suggest dialling down a portion but would benefit from a bit less crab to make room for some simple salary - iceberg lettuce perhaps. But this place is a find and sells a variety of quality products in a pleasantly eccentric setting ........

Amazing food and really friendly staff!

A very relaxing atmosphere and help full staff

A great little find. We went for an afternoon tea. It's definitely recommend it

Enjoyed a tasty lunch there whilst on holiday. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Had a browse round the gift shop. A great place to visit.

Fantastic afternoon tea. Just perfect. Even the dogs were well looked after.

A hidden gem. Just this side of Selsey. Fabulous tea and scones, crab sandwiches, and more...Delightful staff. A lifesize cutout of Mick Jagger in the loo...

It's was our first time here for me and the wife. It was a gift for my wife for afternoon tea for two plus our two dogs. The place was very clean, the owner and staff were very lovely and made our afternoon very special, so thank you for that. Wow, the sandwiches and cakes are very, very nice. Hope this helps you to try this little gem out.

We went to this absolute gem for afternoon tea. It was delightful. The food was great the service superb and we were made so welcome including our dogs. Would recommend 100% you won't regret it.

I recently visited the Old Piggery Farm shop and tea rooms in Selsey and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The food was absolutely scrumptious, especially the crab sandwich and the chilli jacket potato. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making the whole visit even more enjoyable. But what really blew me away was the selection of ice cream. Bella's Gelato ice cream was available and let me tell you, it was a game-changer. And if that wasn't enough, they even had Lenny & Ralph doggy ice cream for our furry friends. The shop itself was a treasure trove of unique gifts, making it the perfect place for a leisurely browse. Well done to the team at the Old Piggery Farm shop and tea rooms for creating such a fantastic establishment.

Loverly vibe maybe a little over priced but isn't everything nowadays, lovely area

Stopped in for lunch, lovely café. The owner was great and the rest of the staff very friendly. Food was lovely, just what we wanted. Thank you.

Great food especially the crab sandwich.

Fabulous lunch today. Everything fresh and delicious, well presented, love the extra touches on the tables. Great atmosphere. Oh and the homemade lemonade to die for. Yummy.

Delighted to have found this little gem of a place! Had an absolutely delicious lunch at The Old Piggery. The farm shop is full of local produce and great for a look around, the staff are very friendly and it was a lovely atmosphere. Really looking forward to trying an Afternoon tea next time which I have heard so much about! Will most certainly be returning!

Little expensive if there's a few of you ,lovely and clean nice and bright 🌞 staff pleasant 😊, would go back again not much in way of a menu,

Can’t rate the experience high enough. Lovely people, great food. Excellent attention to detail in both the tearoom and presentation of interesting shop items.

Nice place but £33 for 2 crab sandwiches and tea for two was steep.

What an absolute gem of a place. So well stocked with essentials and treats. Food is delicious. Delightful staff. Beautiful location.. Well worth a visit.

Popped in for a spot of lunch. Just under £14 for the crab sandwich, crisps and a small salad. £3 for a glass of homemade lemonade. Place was popular. Plenty of parking outside. Farm shop attached with dressed crab for £8.99.

Sadly gone down hill since the butchers came out of it .not been there 4 4 years. Prices very high no fresh bread or cakes was gutted

excellent choice and superb quality food friendly Staff always a good sign

Had one meal and my lady had a tea cake and it was clean nicely presented and fresh the staff were very nice too and looked smart very interesting with nice gifts

We came here for my mums 60th for brunch and I brought my two dogs one who can be nervous and the staff gave him space and fuss when he was settled along with some treats. We had a lovely lunch and they even gifted my mum a lovely mug for her birthday. The atmosphere was very chilled and friendly. We will definitely be back!

Decided to visit as not been for a few years and was surprised as to how much it had changed no butchers now, but a lovely tearoom. Stopped to have cake and tea very tasty lovely staff clean and tidy

Great, a must to visit, and eat , and shop.

! A cool farm shop/homewear and gift shop with a great cafe providing good quality, lovingly made food with the friendliest of service.Will revisit whenever we’re nearby. Had the most fantastic crab sandwiches with a lovely fresh salad and a mountain of super crunchy crisps with a pot of good, strong, loose leaf tea - even the dog was given some treats too.A great find. Highly recommend!

Luke warm weak expensive coffee. Mint tea made with with two mint leaves! Both were over-priced. What not be going back.

Absolutely brilliant! Lovely place to sit down + dog friendly too! The people running/working here are lovely and went out of their way to check the food for my allergy as well as alternative milk for my mum. Quality food at quality price. 100% recommend. Very kind and friendly + looking forward to being able to visit again!

I am becoming a bit of a regular here! The crab sandwiches are outstanding! Bit pricey but worth it! Friendly service! The little farm shop is lovely, I always get a bag of pork scratching as they’re very tasty! They are dog friendly here!

Sadly I won't be going again. We arrived just before 3.30 to find the cafe closed. The Trip Advisor says it is open until 4.30 and their website says 3.30 in one place and 4 pm in another. I had been told that their hours are erratic. The cafe open sign was still prominently displayed outside, as it was when we went past again after 5 pm. I had arranged to meet friends there so it was not just disappointing but inconvenient. What a shame. The owner (?) said they closed early because it was so quiet. I wonder why!! This could be a successful business if it was better run. It gives me no pleasure to send a bad review. I would have been a regular visitor.
