Lovely little café tea room. Great choice of food and drinks. We had a lovely Sunday roast with three choices of meat. The view was lovely looking out onto the water and watching the boats sailing. Staff very courteous and helpful. Will definitely be visiting more when I'm back that way.

Jeanette my friend from London and I came for lunch today September 11th. We were given a very warm welcome by the Staff and ordered our meal which arrived promptly. Sitting by the river’s edge was magical and the sun was hot. The food was excellent and just SO tasty. Huge congratulations to the chef. We enjoyed it very much and decided to stay on for another coffee each. A very big thank you to everyone for making it such a lovely time together.

Place was fairly busy but not ‘rammed’ when we arrived. Staff friendly, but didn’t inform us that there would be such a long wait for food. Waited almost an hour after ordering, which I feel is too long not to be informed. Food was nice enough when it arrived though felt like our sandwiches had been thrown together with little thought and lacking in filling for the cost.

For me, the chips were nice, that's about the only positive thing I can say about our drop in. But I'm sure the atmosphere would have been better if the sun was out. As it was the food was tasteless (quiche) the waiting staff didn't engage in conversation and looked like they didn't want to be there and our food was "plonked" down in front of us. Nothing else to add.

Lovely location, while we went at lunch time there were only around 8 tables with guests and we still waited close to an hour for 2 sandwiches, no apology for delay and several times when we were not finished we were asked if we were to clear the table. It was a very hot day which can’t be helped but there was no air conditioning so it was rather stuffy inside and only 2 tables had umbrellas for shade outside. The food was very nice and reasonably priced. The prawn Marie Rose sandwich in particular was lovely.

Avoid this place at all costs If I could give it 0 stars I would I'm not from around this area and had an extremely long car journey. Me and my partner were on our way to a wedding and sorry for the TMI but I was on my period and suffer with endometriosis, and needed a toilet ASAP (my partner waited outside) Unfortunately, this is the place I walked into. I walked in and asked whether there was a toilet available and was pointed in the right direction by a young girl who worked there. If at this point I was asked to purchase something to be able to use the toilet I would have. However, after leaving the toilet I was faced with abuse from old, RUDE blonde lady serving customers. She must have woken up today choosing violence, that's all I can say. If she had just explained calmly that the toilet was only for paying customers again I would have purchased something, or even explained to me in a polite manner I would have apologised but she proceeded to embarrass me in front of customers, shout at me, mutter under her breath and make extremely rude remarks. I explained to her I had come in and had asked to use the toilet and another member of staff didn't make It clear I needed to be a paying customer, but she told me that wasn't her problem and continued to be rude and shout. (There was no signs that I could see to make this clear either) working in hospitality myself I would never make any customer feel the way I felt when walking out that place and she should be extremely ashamed of herself and I am absolutely outraged. I was a young girl on my own and was made to feel extremely uncomfortable by a grown woman IN FRONT OF CUSTOMERS. What a nasty nasty lady, I wish in the moment I had taken a photo of her to name and shame.

Afternoon out in Arundel we saw this nice cafe on the river bank by main bridge. Fab location. Peaceful and comfortable. Nice food and drinks menu reasonably priced. Greeted by Sharon (the owner?) who was very hospitable and attentive. Had nice chat with her she made us very welcome. We will return for sure. Great place for a pit stop and more, sat on the river bank watching passing ducks and swans. Thank you. Marcus.

Nice views, friendly staff and food was ok. On arrival the menus given to us were breakfast menus which finished at 12, we arrived at 11:55 so had to request different menus. Not all cutlery was clean and signs of food splashed on the wall. Hot food delivered on cold plate. Two dairy free members of party were assured that there were dairy free alternatives to butter and the order would come with that option. One meal came with no butter or alternative. The vegan meal was delivered to the table with real butter. (Yes Vegan with butter ??) Obviously we were then dubious about the advice given about the other foods, regarding being dairy free. Nice place but these errors made us feel less likely to return.

Beautiful setting for any time of day, the outside seating area especially is spacious with great views. We stopped for breakfast and it was unfortunately underwhelming. The food had been reheated and not cooked fresh, the reheating method was to deep fry it. Sausages were cut open and blackened, the hash brown tasted like something you might order from a Chinese takeaway, the bacon over crispy. The tea and coffee were fine, decent selection of beer also. For a setting as grand as this the breakfast at least was far from up to scratch

The band was amazing the gents who played bravo! Service by 2 young girls not great pretty awful, no smile no personality, need some training! 15 mins for the menu to arrive at the table, 25 mins for drinks to arrive, food we ordered, cheesy chips, sausage roll and a tea cake, 30+ mins and it still wasn't ready, but of course as the somewhat cook said, we are not a fast food restaurant, hilarious the food was barely coming out the kitchen, the cook to be a coward and say it in the kitchen towards your customer, next time if you want to say this, you come out of your little slow service hut, say it to your customers face! Absolutely disgraceful!!! The lady with blonde hair older lady waitress was lovely! Your team part from 1 lady and the band let you down, the cook being a nonse hiding in the kitchen with bad attuide was a total disgrace!!! We are telling everyone never to visit!!

The cafe can be difficult to find as large vehicles obstruct the entrance, at the back of main car park. Once in there is plenty of seating along the river’s edge or under the covered awning, with a warm patio heater. The lady in charge Sharon?

Found this place while on holiday last year - our visit coincided with a wedding party setting off by boat across the lake which added interest. Curiosity caused our return this year - the company has another establish at the Eel's Foot end of the lake, where the weddings take place. A beautiful setting, good coffee and cakes; the staff very attentive and friendly. For those with disabilities (blue badge holders) the walking distance between the designated parking spaces and the cafe may be too long to manage. (We parked closer but illegally undo a tree, having on the previous visit asked if it was okay, and were given the go ahead. On leaving this time we were reprimanded - our fault we should have asked again.

£20–30 Positive great location and great building not so positive. Food ordered was 2 sandwiches both veggy. Was told it would be 30min wait? There was maybe a dozen tables with people on. But that was fine. No rush. Then it went down hill food came and yes ham and cheese sandwich. Me I don't care as eat meat but wife veggy. So spoke to the lady and said what we ordered she apoligised. I sat facing the counter and I could blatently hear the manager i assume slagging us off saying about the ham sandwich she appeared angry at staff member. (Not her fault mistakes happen) it is a hot day and people don't perform in the heat well that is understood. The food came right eventually? My wife ate a bit crisps soft and the sandwich well not the greatest. She left most of the food. I also took a look into the leaflet holder on the table just for ref table 2. It was dirty with empty wrappers. I thought oh well looked at the floor and just bits of detritus on the floor. By then was getting disapointed bill came 2 sandwich 1 portion chips and 2 drinks £28. Ohh and the mens toilet might want to get toilet system looked at as the tiles were off and sharp hate anyone to cut themselves. This is honest review like I said before the place is lovely and indact is normally great this is maybe just a bad day. But serving meat to a veggy ummmm not the greatest.

A nice pub and a good stop for a Sunday roast. Each one comes with a parsnip, roast potatoes and giant Yorkshire pudding, and on the wide with a serving of cauliflower cheese, broccoli, carrots and mange tout peas. Speedy service and has a sun trap beer garden at the back so there is plenty of space.
