The best restaurants serving British food in River Arun South East

Absolutely delicious with generous fillings. We had a variety of sandwiches, baguettes, paninis and a hot jacket potato. No issues with anything, would 100% recommend and will definitely use again.

Stumbled across this great little cafe, which has apparently been here since the 1940s. Friendly service, nice food, large portions and reasonable prices. I had the double breakfast (pictured) They make most of the own puds too 👍

Worth visiting this coffee shop/cafe. It's clean and the food is freshly prepared and very reasonably priced. Tea and coffee great too. Give it a try !

Our first time but certainly not the last. A friendly welcome and attentive staff. We purposely chose a seafood starter and main and although not an extensive menu it was varied and interesting. Our food was very tasty and the service throughout was very good. A little gem in Littlehampton.

Went with 7 of my family and chose the carvery option. The whole meal was dry and tasteless. The pork was chewy, potatoes dry and the veg was extremely tasteless Since eating there I have read more reviews that say the same. The gravy boat need to read their reviews and up their game, as I for one, will not be going back. Shame, as it was very good when it first opened.

Lovely, good amount of food, would definitely order again

I went to the Boat House the other week and I ordered the kedgeree. It was £15.95 which is a lot for what you get. The rice was hard and the fish obviosuly wasn’t fresh. I am extremely disappointed with the food as it used to be such good quality. I think the prices are very expensive and not worth the food quality, making me not want to come back again. I also met the owner and when I spoke to her she seemed very unwelcoming and rude. I also heard another conversation between her and another member of staff slagging off one of the other customer or staff I cannot be certain as to which one it was. As a customer having only been a few a time,this really came as a suprise to me to see no professionalism whatsoever. I am very upset and again disappointed with my experience. All around it just wasn’t an enjoyable place to be. This is such a shame as to what use to be a nice place for food can be so toxic and shocking.

Lovely place, went there as we read it catered for plant based and gf diets however, I soon discovered they had a few options of each but not both so had an oat cappuccino and their chunky fries. A lovely place, really helpful staff and reasonably priced.

Saturday evening 29th and we visited this riverside bar as we were attending a birthday party being held here. We really liked the qwerky and zany decor and fixtures around the establishment, spent some time just walking about looking around. The food that was catered for the party was well presented, lots of it and tasty. The staff were friendly and attentive, the bar was clean and well maintained. Perhaps the drinks were a bit more expensive than we are accustomed to, no surprise really due to it’s location.

The roast dinner here is gorgeous

Grest sunday roast all the trimmings, excellent value for money, lovely service feels like you're in a friends home having dinner! Cosy and unpretentious - old school!

Food was delicious and service outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble and lots of extra gravy!

We booked afternoon tea , and we arrived early and were greeted warmly by the reception and they told us where our table was , We sat down just before 300 pm , and we ordered our tea and we ordered a glass of Sussex sparkling wine , that was good , I was interested to know it came from the Bluebell vineyard. The tea came as well , but we had to wait another 20 mins before the food arrived, The sandwiches were ok , and had 4 different fillings and we could order as many as we wanted, Then we tried the scone, we were given one each , but were rather large and looked to me to be overcooked, I tried to cut my scone in half and basically it just disintegrated , it was over cooked and so dry inside and hard on the outside , Then tried the cakes , there were 4 different cakes including a macaroon, I really don’t like them , the chocolate cake was ok , then I tried something that was a a small doughnut with a jam filling was unfortunately had a very hard upper crust, where again had been overcooked, whereas the bottom was undercooked, the fourth cake was a sponge with blueberries and a cream topping, But was in a paper case , never seen this before when having an afternoon tea, it was ok Overall the service was ok , sandwiches were good, scones very disappointing and cakes not up to the standard I would expect to get In such an establishment and paying over £50 a head

Called in for breakfast and we both opted for the set No. 2 which was tasty and perfectly cooked. Special mention for the coffee which was the best that I have had for a while. Service was good too. I don't usually bother to leave a review for a cafe but felt that I had to this time as it was so good.

With a long wait for food at the Harvester we came across here for lunch instead. Although it took a while for the food to come out the kitchen, my mate’s little boy was happy to amuse himself in the soft play area. When the food turned up we definitely preferred the chicken burger to the hamburger.
