West Cornwall Pasty shop in Chichester

I entered teh shop for a take away as I was shopping in Chichester and was hungry. I saw a very inviting looking pasty 'Beef and chilli' advertised at £4.70 take way price. I offered a £5 Bank of England note (Legal tender in England I am led to believe). I was told 'I am unable to accept cash' I shall be complaining to trading standards about this but in the mean time please don't shop here until they accept the currency of the land.

A busy place which does take away pasties although there are tables if you want to sit and eat. At just over £4 it compares fairly well with a sandwich. The service is brisk and less than polite. I asked if they did cold pasties to take home and heat later but was told hot, or frozen... Not sure why anyone would want to buy a frozen one...? Also found it strange that it was card-only payments. This seems rather restrictive as we're through the pandemic now. Surely customers should be given the choice of how to pay, as they are in other places.

It was a delight to be greeted by the lovely manager who was a true professional. He made us feel welcome and took great care serving us delicious food and drinks to take away. The eco cups available are an additional bonus and discount if you do have a reusable cup. I fully reccomend the spotless, friendly cafe with it's great range of delicious food and drinks. Many Thanks.

If they cannot not sort this out, I would rather go to Greggs. I was disappointed. And expected something far better.

It appears that West Cornwall pasty company have closed this great shop in Chichester for good. Its such a shame that they havent given it ago poor staff i wish them well and miss the excellent friendly service

We bought food for lunch. The variety of types of Pastie is great and they are hot and tasty. The cheese and spinach one was very good.

Dropped in for a snack lunch and were made most welcome. Quick friendly service & very decent coffee+ pasty & sausage roll. For Chichester this was all at a very good price

Popped in for a quick lunch. Enjoyed a tasty cheese and tomato panini and cappuncino. Staff friendly. Definitely recommend.

Just popped into this shop for a quick bite and was amazed at the service they gave. As soon as I walked in the Manager, Sue welcomed us in and asked what would we like I chose a prawn baguette and my wife had a pasty. The sandwich was lovely with a great amount of filling and my wife loved her pasty. If ever I’m in Chichester again I will definitely pop in again.

Although I like pies I had never been in a pie shop . However I was persuaded by a grand daughter who had been their with her dad . And it was great . Not the most comfortable restaurant but the pies and pasties were great and reasonable .

Lovely coffee and pastie, sat upstairs in a small upstairs loft area. Staff were very polite and offered to open this area as there was no seating available downstairs

Popped into this eatery in north street chichester, great food, many variety of pasties and other food all served with smiles and enthusiasm. Eat in or out and cash only...I recommend a visit should you be in the area..you won't be disappointed...plenty of rustic type tables etc

Eaten 3 times and always say not again! Food cooked but bland and just a pasty mostly overheated. Suggest you can do better in Chichester but fast food it is.

Having ordered a tea and a coffee with our pasty, we were told they would bring the drinks to our table. After over 15 minutes I approached the barista and asked about our drinks. I had to give him my receipt whilst he then did our drinks with no explanation why it had taken so long. Other people had been served who had ordered after us. I spoke to the manageress who insisted when I asked what system they had in place for giving customers their drinks, she was dismissive saying they got them in order, no offer of an apology. To make matters worse my coffee was cold.

Always good to get back to basics for a quick snack, good traditional fare mixed in with newer flavors, great coffee.

As I prefer very weak coffee I always request a latte with a half shot. Not one shot. This is establishment gave me the option of hot milk with the coffee in a separate cup. Perfect just what I like. Mention must also be made about our Barista John who fulfilled by request .

Our last visit was for a well priced Large pastie and a latte; most enjoyable. Service is always hectic but efficient. we have visited many times.

went back again for lunch with my family and although Sue wasn't on duty we still received wonderful service from the staff working . Excellent place to eat with good food and out of this world service

We often nip in here for a pasty or bacon roll and the customer service is always excellent along with coffee! Think the lattes are the best in Chichester!! Personally we've found nothing is too much trouble and always greeted with a smile! Had a sausage roll today and it was lovely far superior to others in town!

I fancied a sausage roll for lunch and I thought they would be good here. Sadly I was wrong, both my long sausage roll and my husband's pepper steak pie pasty were quite forgettable.

Me and my daughter stopped in here to get a quick snack whilst visiting the Christmas market. Small queue just around lunch time and lots of options. We only had a large sausage roll and a cold drink but the girl who served us was very polite and point d out were the knife and forks were . As we hadn't been here before it was nice she did . The food in here is quality bit more expensive than your average but we both enjoyed our sausage roll 4.50 for bottle coke and large sausage roll. The cleanliness at the back was a bit iffy but we did have to move a few plates and so did other customers onto one table so we could sit . Other than that there is one toilet so get in there whilst you can lol . We were only in there half hour but when we left the queue was massive and most the pasties had sold . These guys must be awesome!

Went on recommendation, order a steak and ale pasty. Near to no steak in the filing, wedges were undercooked, all in all not good. To top it off the waitresses were talking about inappropriate subjects, like a young girl self harming right in front of me and other customers. Won’t be returning

We found this pasty shop last year on a short bread in chichester. Was so lovely we purposely went back again. Very friendly and helpful staff. Pasties are wonderful

Our purchase was for a takeaway but the counter area and what we could see was spotless. Loved the meaty pasty, will always keep coming back...been a customer for years there. THANKYOU

We popped in for a takeaway couple of pasties yesterday and they were delicious. We had the traditional and they were full of filling and nicely seasoned - plenty of black pepper as they should be. They had an interesting selection of non- traditional ones too - including Thai green curry which I will try another time. The place does a good passing trade, however based on feedback on this site and our experience yesterday, the management of this place need to up their game. Yesterday there was a young lad all on his own as nobody else had turned up for work and as a result (through no fault of the chap) service was slow. Every place should have a staffing fallback - especially on a Bank Holiday. Food is excellent though and we would use again,

this was my first visit to this establishment , and all I can say is what an excellent visit I had . The food was great hot traditional pasty and coffee but the staff and service was great . I was served by Matt who for a young lad has excellent customer service. All the girls /ladies who was working was all just as good . These people are a credit to your manager of the shop and more so a credit to your company . Will highly recommend this place to all my family

having one hungry toddler and a baby to feed I decided to go into the nearest place to eat. Thankfully I choose the right place . I was served by a lady called Sue who was so friendly and helpful and great with my toddler. He was having a melt down as he wanted ice cream .Sue immediately spoke up and suggested that I took up their kids meal offer of the smaller sausage roll she sold it to my son by telling him he was having a pirate lunch and could be part of her crew. He was over the moon with his "pirate lunchbox". We had such a pleasant lunch and great experience thankyou Sue ! will definitely visit again

Called in one Sat lunchtime to buy a couple of pasties, one meat and the other vegy, they were both good pasties and the service was friendly and fast. I will call again for pasties. I only bought take away and cannot comment on the seating.

Having never visited before .. was unsure if there was waiter service.. found seats.. then joined the wrong end of a queue.. finally get served.. no sausage rolls. Then up to the other end to have pasty dumped on a plate.. by an uninterested staff member... had to ask where the cutlery was.. . not even a great pasty... wouldn't recommend... wouldn't go back.

Called for lunch to eat in. Chose a pasty and a coffee. Was handed my pasty in a paper bag with a napkin. I thought they hadn’t heard me when I said I was eating in and was advised they don’t do plates - you take your pasty to a table and use the bag as a plate! Complete with plastic knife and fork. Coffee came in a plasticised ‘to go’ paper cup with plastic lid. HP sauce came in a plastic sachet. Pasty was ok, not horrible but not particularly tasty either. My companion’s orange juice came in a plastic bottle.

Stopped in here for a coffee on my way home. Lovely clean premises, welcoming staff, BUT metal chairs that did not make you want to linger.

I was in Chichester with a friend and decided to have a bite to eat here. Service was OK, but pasties weren't as tasty as I thought they might be (lots of pastry, not much filling). Coffee was nice. Toilets were out of action, which wasn't great as we are 'of a certain age'!! Would go back again if pushed, but there are better places to get a pie in Chichester!

Amazing friendly service. It was a first thing I've noticed visiting this place. Three people working (two serving and one "runner"). Clean uniform. Everyone does something (not playing on their phones etc). Very good!

Since new management it has gone downhill. quality of food is poor and we witnessed food that had been displayed in the window for god knows how long being unmade and the ingredients being put back in the heated pots to reheat and reserve to customers. Absolutely disgusting! the girl behind the counter was questioned by another member of staff who was also shocked, but she insisted it was fine!!! surely this is a hygiene and health and safety issue! We were regular customers, but after witnessing what we did, we will never go there again.

On a dismal day in West Sussex we headed for Chichester as you can wander around the magnificent Cathedral and shopping centre.

Dropped in for a snack lunch. We had two coffees two normal Cornish pasties and a prawn mayonnaise salad ciabatta....

Excellent range of pasties. I had the pasty of the month deal. Plenty of comfortable seating, and friendly service.

Forma parte de una cadena hotelera las tartas están bien y también tienen una versión libre de gluten. Poco ambiente, aunque te puedes sentar a en la calle.

Das Essen, welches man hier kaufen kann ist sehr traditionell Englisch daher nicht für jeden Geschmack geeignet. Der Service ist sehr gut und freundlich und man kann sich natürlich zwischen To go und dort essen entscheiden Wenn man sich dazu entscheidet dort zu essen man auch keine Fehler da es viele Sitzplätze gibt, die auch sehr bequem sind.

Honestly no idea where all the negativity in some of these reviews has come from! Must be folks who have never worked in the service industry and don't understand the difficulties that come with working in a fast paced, high pressure customer service environment! I've been coming into this shop for breakfast/coffee for a few years now and it's been improving constantly! 5/5 for customer services, all the ladies in this shop are friendly efficient and attentive. The quality of the food is impeccable and is completely unmatched in chichester in my opinion. If I had to pick a negative point I would say the coffee is only a 4/5 but quite frankly great service across the board in every other way makes up for it. £4.25 for a large bacon roll with a Cumberland spiral sausage, x2 hash browns, sauce and a large hot drink. I think this is pretty reasonable, especially for Chichester! Hands down three times better than Greggs so well worth the extra pennies! All in all a really great spot! Thanks again WCPC! :) Freddie (unbiased review based on personal experiences over the last year or so - I work in a shop nearby so have the pleasure of frequenting this 1 or 2 mornings a week)

Finding myself with 40 minutes to kill while my daughter had an appointment I decided to take them up on their offer of a bacon roll and a coffee for £1.99. Best butty I've had in ages (maybe ever!) And the coffee was cracking too! Lovely staff nothing too much trouble - I reckon I've found my new breakfast spot!

a busy day with new staff- i gave my order 5 times i kid you notcold food after a long wait. dirty tables dishes stacked up.nobody would take my money i had to wait to pay and wait i didcould have said 1 coffee and they would not know pulled pork sandwich with very little inside at allhuge drinks terrible service.A FAMILY CAME IN WITH ALL GREGGS MEALS BOUGHT A COFFEE SAT DOWN KIDS MANIC EVERYWHERE----WHATS NOT TO LIKE?

At the moment a good breakfast deal. £1.99 for breakfast roll and coffee, Was hot and good for early morning. Other items can be more expensive but good to eat.

Great place to sit and have a chat with the friendly staff. I Always feel welcome. Delicious food and great coffee.

Called in here while walking around Chichester looking at the shops. Good place for a snack and a cup of tea. Helpful and friendly staff. Not to expensive

Although the pasties were tasty we thought they were overpriced and the eating area pretty cramped - also on this day they did not want us to bring our working dog in, which was pretty problematical and meant one of us couldn't eat here.

Nothing good about our visit. The queue was out of the door, but that was due to the poor layout of the counter not because it was massively busy. I ordered two medium pasty meals having chosen from the display in the window. I was told the steak and stilton pasty had sold out, when I said there was one in the window I was informed they were for display only. Tip: Take it out of the window if you don't have any left. I chose a chicken and mushroom pasty and my partner had the traditional pasty and although I said on more than one occasion 2 medium meals, was given a large pasty. I had wedges and beans, both of which were cold. My partner had mash (which we had to wait for to be 'made') and beans the potato was warm and the beans were tepid. My pasty was hot, my partners tepid. We were charged the price of the individual components rather than the advertised meal deal price.

Stopped for a pasty ended up having wedges as well. Really nice hot and full of flavour I had the lamb mint and pea lovely hubby had the traditional the staff were very helpful even waited to give us fresh wedges strait out of the oven. Would definitely go again.

Service was incrediably slow. Tables were dirty. Food was stone cold...had to ask for fresh wedges. Coffee was ok. I used to love coming here for their pasty's but since the refit and change of staff its gone down hill. I wont be coming again. Expensive for cold food.

Close to town centre cross. Good selection of generously-sized pasties, including a vegetarian selection.

Popped in for lunch on a day out, the staff were polite and followed 'company speal' although lacked personality and didn't make eye contact the food was ok but not as good as some of the other branches. The tea nice but arrived with no sugar I wasn't offered any or told where I could find it. I did notice the staff seemed quite young and they had help wanted signs up so it could be a lack of training rather than complacency so I will leave it a month or so before I try again. I never right a place off straightaway.

if you dine here be careful on the boards outside you can get a meal deal for 3.99 but if you dine inside you are subject to vat added on to the price expecting a 12 pound bill ended up being 16 pound this is not displayed outside the cafe

This is the ideal stop off on a cold winters day. The food is hot and the fillings taste fresh. My favourite is steak and Stilton pasty.

Very friendly staff (Manager Dave and assistant Matt) made our visit very pleasant. Good food - best milkshake ever! Could have sat outside in the sun or plenty of seating inside.

Great they are advertising gluten free and dairy free pasties. On buying one, unfortunately, it is only lactose free. I appreciate on their website it follows industry guidelines with ingredients, but these pasties are not dairy free. Some-one one day, unfortunately, could be poorly if they like me have to follow a strict diet for health reasons. I did email the company via their website last weekend, but have had no reply as of yet.

Stopped off for a coffee and a quick bite. They were promoting bacon rolls which seemed a good idea at the time but when they told us they were all cooked freshly and would take 15 minutes we decided to just have a sausage roll and coffee which were ok but nothing exciting. Nice to sit outside in the sunshine though.

Stopped by for a bite to sample the pasties. Thai veg and a meat version chosen for two with coffee. The veggie one was bland, and just lukewarm, while the meat pasty was piping hot. Friendly enough service. Not sure we'll be back for a £15 snack here in future.

Typical of a “Chain” brand in respect of price which frankly is overpriced for what it is. Had much better food at similar non award winning establishments. The restaurant is scruffy, and not well presented. The toilet was a mess and the experience as a whole is not one I will be repeating.

I met a very dear friend that I regrettably don't see very often in Chichester and we decided to use the West Cornwall Pasty shop because the smell of the pasties was wafting out of the door into the street outside and caught my nose.We were given a very friendly welcome and served immediately, the staff member explaining what the offers and meal deals were. She was very knowledgeable about the company's products and their manufacture and was attentive and charming.My friend and I enjoyed a long talk in the upstairs section of the seating area, sharing a quiet, intimate space and a comfy leather sofa whilst we had a lazy lunch and tea and coffee together and caught up with each other's life news. We were so comfortable we lost track of time and managed to spend 2½ hours before making a hasty exit to the overdue car parking ticket. The only negative I can say about is that the tea isn't as hot as it should be. On my second round I asked for it to be served in a pot and it still wasn't hot. I suspect that it is made using water that isn't boiling from a machine rather than a kettle. Sort that problem out and I won't have any criticisms at all.

Don't be put off by the frequent queues out the door. Yes it may take a little longer to get served but it is worth the wait. There are usually a large variety of pasties available including a few options for vegetarians (the cheese, tomato and basil is my personal favourite). You can turn your pasty into a meal by adding wedges and mushy peas/beans and they serve a selection of hot and cold drinks. On a sunny day they have both indoor and outdoor seating - if there is space then upstairs in the window overlooking the courtyard is lovely. My only critique is that the pastry can be quite heavy on the stomach because there is a lot of it. I'm sure I'd be complaining more if there wasn't enough pastry though!

It seems as though this place has just changed management... for better or worse I'm not too sure yet. The new staff are friendly and polite, though they don't yet have the chemistry and work atmosphere that the old bunch had. I like the new white walls! Regarding the food, it's good - but I had a steak and ale pasty the other day and it genuinely was 90% potato and carrot - which was still delicious - but I paid a good amount of money for steak. They also have a new way of serving the wedges, multiple pots of wedges are (wasted?) on display, and then you get a fresh cup - which is normally lovely, but sometimes all the wedges get a bit too dry under the heat lamp and just aren't enjoyable! Never the less, it is a lovely place, and has lovely food. Will always come here, just could be improved with tiny tweaks.

The pasty was awesome, couldn't fault it but I had a wobbly table and I wasn't impressed by the one toilet that wasn't that great. The food though was good. They do takeaway as well.

Like puff pastries with interesting fillings. Good variety, delicious. I had the original, meat, potatoes and onions. Worth a trip for a quick snack.

Chicken and mushroom pasty, chips and cappucino. Meal enjoyable except felt the chips and the pasty could have been hotter, not just warm.

You will always see queues outside the shop, especially around lunchtime. The aromas of freshly-cooked pasties is almost impossible to resist, and the pasties themselves are tasty with melt-in-the-mouth pastry. There is a good variety of flavours, with something for most tastes from traditional to veggie. Recommended!

I have no idea how they can charge so much for a pasty that is of average quality. I didn't even get a napkin with mine. Sorry people but not really impressed. Try Greggs - about the same quality but at least they charge a much lower price for it.

It was a cold and wet day went we went here. I had been eating lots of pre Christmas dinners with meats do decided a veggie option to warm me up with coffee. I was not disappointed and it did the job being very hot and tasty. Took two away for others as well as they are great tasting.

Had lunch here today and was very disappointed. We've bought take away pasties before from here and they were fine -- too hot if anything. Today we had the pasty meal with wedges and peas/beans. The food was tepid and the choice restricted. OK, it was late (nearly 2, probably) but the wait to be served was long, most tables were uncleared and you couldn't call the staff's attitude welcoming. I suspect that they need at least 1 more member of staff to keep the place clean and help out the 2 serving customers. A further minor moan -- the floor is laid with flagstones which by their very nature are uneven so the tables wobble causing your drink to spill when there is the slightest pressure on the table (like cutting up your pasty). Get it together, guys - not much needed to make this a whole other experience.

I don't venture to Chichester very often but I've often walked past this place, smelt the gorgeous inviting smells of baking and haven't been in till today. I have been to Cornwall and had a nice pasty and drink, I understand its hard to re-create Cornish food everywhere else but Cornwall. I wont be revisiting Chichester one. The girl couldn't ask my simple questions about hot drinks, the tables were littered with dirty plates, cutlery and cups making it hard to sit at a table and my pasty barely warm. Disappointing and expensive experience.

I have visited this place many times and never been disappointed, many different ones meat ones to vegetables ones. It good place you cannot miss it, shop is always clean. Staff is very nice and clean the one down side is that there sale out very quickly of the vegetarian ones but you can always go back. You can sit inside or go outside.

Really disappointing lunch on Sunday. We stopped here and had traditional Cornish pasties with potato wedges and peas, it tasted nice but it was not hot. The seating area of the shop downstairs is a bit dark and dingy, the food is served on dark plates, and you can see the thumb prints on the plates, which is a bit off putting, I'm not saying the place is unclean, I think it just needs modernising, Having said that, I wouldn't eat here again.

The Chicken and chorizo pasty is amazing. And comes in different sizes to suit your appetite. I will be returning here

A very good selection of Pasties here for every taste,best Pasties outside of Cornwall.Seating inside and out,always busy.

good coffee stop excellent pastys and friendly staff very clean and organized and plenty of room good coffee

Was wanting a traditional pasty,,, bloody disappointing,,, the place was very dirty walls at the back seating area were disgusting, paint peeling off the wall scratches and grime all over them, dirty tables not been cleared , asked for two pasties for myself and mother they were barely warm, the guy chucked them on a plate, I had to ask for a glass to go with my cola, no care given at all, pasty was Luke warm and tasted rank,, staff don't care,, place needs a bloody good clean,, never go there it's awfull

Never been in a West Cornwall Pasty Shop before never again!! Could only take cash not card, hardly any food on offer even though this was at 1pm!!! The tables were cluttered with dirty plates etc and to get the cultery you had to try and find a clean set of knives and forks which was a challenge. The only plus side was that the luxury pork sausage roll was nice, other than that I m sorry to say nothing else positive.

Called late on Sunday afternoon. Had a takeaway steak and Stilton pasty. Pastry was ok, bit dry, but filling was almost non existent. For the price paid (approx £4) not good value.

Popped in for a quick lunch and our meals were awful. Firstly they were only taking cash not card, which was a pain. I had a sausage roll and it was so burnt that I couldn't eat it as the pastry was like a rock. The wedges were stale. My husband had a traditional pasty and there was hardly any meat in it!! Not a great visit, ended up going to subway after.

They are a little pricy but are not bad value. Their wares are edible and fresh so definately worth a visit.

Visited here for a lunch time snack which was pretty average. Nice staff, food just OK. Tables and general cleanliness needed more attention. What more can one say? You get what you pay for.

Awful, tables were sticky, rubbish on the floor. Very tatty and run down. Food not much better either. Too many other good places to eat in Chichester so best avoided if you ask me!

We went there a few times when we lived in the area...we are on holiday thought we must visit the pasty shop....what a disaster...my pasty was full of gristle the pastry was dry and I only ate half ..my husband did the same ...we won't go back very very dissapointed.....

Nice placea bit of charactergreat choice of pastes ........... as perhaps you might expectfood quality goodworth a try if u like this sort of thing

very little meat in the Cornish pasties and dreary atmosphere. Should be busy cafe but no one else there at 12.30 lunch time.

Both my wife & I were looking forward to sampling a true cornish pastie in between Xmas and the New Year, unfortunately it was not to be.The "cafe" was not crowded, but nearly all the tables had not been cleared from the previous occupants dishes, so it was left to me to clear one, as she queued for the food and drinks.My Cornish pastie was the standard type and was not as big as a Gingsters (or maybe it had just shrunk - read on), it was very dry inside and the option of having ketchup was not going to happen as there was no ketchup available (only brown sauce) - My wife had an alternative pastie, which to be fair was OK, but this was compared to mine ! The tea was a small cup offering (unlike the other local cafe's), but my wife said (again) her coffee was "OK". Overall we were both very dissapointed and will not be going back until we see continuous praise over the coming year.

Great for breakfast................hot, delicious Cornish pasties including my favourite with lamb. And a lovely, friendly lady manning the counter. I will definitely be back again and again.

Had lunch here today before the Theatre , and wouldn't do so again .... The 3 men behind the counter were completely disinterested in their job , off hand to the point of rudeness .....The food was over-priced and very average .....The tables hadn't been cleared , and we were given one plate for two pasties , and it took 3 attempts to get given another one ......Very , very poor , I'm afraid .

The pasties are very good and a very good and friendly service. If it nice day you can sit outside and eat

I visited this restaurant today, what a shock. The food was very expensive for tasteless almost meatless, pasties. Watery hot chocolate. Very dirty generally. Certainly wouldnt dream of returning. This company needs to have a long hard look at itself,. Yhe young lady serving however, was most polite.

I have been going here for 2 or 3 years and frequently enjoyed a varety of pasties , wedges coffee etc. On the last few visits to Chichester I have found myself eating elsewhere. Why? At the West Cornwall Pasty shop the food is satisfactory but the cleanliness of this shop has gone down hill. This is not just on one visit which may be a bad or busy day but seems to be the low standard maintained here. So I'm off elsewhere unless the sticky tables and grubby floor improve; trouble is I will miss a good pasty!

留学時代毎日のように通ってました！色んな味があってホワイトシチュー・ビーフシチュー・シーフード…やはりミートパイが１番おいしいです！！！！現在の値段はわかりませんが一生忘れられない味です…必ずいつか戻ります！

Sorry, but the pasty I had was greasy, not very hot and had bits of gristle in it. Yuck. Wouldn't go back, that's for sure. Seems very popular though so maybe it's just me.

Having visited this restaurant on several occasions over the last few years, In-laws visiting during the Easter break seemed a perfect opportunity to visit Chichester and 1st stop once there was the West Cornwall Pasty Shop. We are a family of 4 adults and 3 children. The cost of 4 pasties 4drinks and 2sausage rolls was an eye popping £27.. What had happened to the comfy leather sofas we once sank into? The crockery was dirty, as was the cutlery, and although it was replaced on request(somewhat begrudgingly), it would have been nice to be given it clean in the first instance. The milk jugs given x3 I honestly believe had been doing the rounds all day as one was full, one half full and one almost empty smacks of days gone by when I worked in the restaurant trade but the missing link was the refill and clean. The teacups and teapots were also dirty and one had a crack in it. By the time we came to pour the tea to have to ask for all the dirty cups to be changed would have been tiresome. The pasties themselves are lovely and as always served hot but they do seem to be getting smaller!!

If you want to get a pasty here, take out! Get in and get OUT. I refuse to go back here because of the staff. It's a shame because the food is good, just a shame they all come frozen and all they do is cook them. When I didn't know about this place, everyone was telling me its always packed and the line is out the door. Well no wonder why the staff are always unhappy. Serving all those customers all day! Maybe they should get a different career if customer service is such a hard thing to do.One girl asked "what do you want" then took one look at me - looked at one of the older staff members who had a face like a slapped a***, then she just walked away to go play with the oven. The older "cheerful" lady took my order, literally snatched my money off me, then shoved me my pasty. Charming. I I'm glad to say I have not returned since, and a long detailed email to management about their staffing issues will be written. It's just amusing that it takes more muscles to frown then it does to smile.

Perhaps they have escaped from Cornwall. To be honest...don't bother. Dreadful service, food, grim. I thought pricey. Decor horrid, amateurish painting. Scruffy tables needed to be cleaned. Cramped so not easy with kids. It's a shame as the idea is good and it has potential. Go anywhere else.

This cafe/pasty takeaway has a good selection of pasties; they make em in different sizes with all sorts of weird and wonderful fillings, including vegetarian. However, from the outside (of the pasty!) they all look the same.... as we ordered different ones for each of our party, we asked if we could have separate plates. The staff member serving us was extremely sarcastic, and rude, and wouldn't do it, basically. Luckily, no one was vegetarian, as they could have bitten easily into a non- veg one by accident. Shame because it spoiled our experience, especially at around £5 for each pasty, plus a drink on top of that, it s not a particularly cheap option. There are loads of little cafes and restaurants in Chichester, and therefore, it's unlikely we would go there again, with such rude staff.
