So I've been to the Perch a few times now. For coffee, cake and an afternoon meal and I have to say…read moreI like the place. To start the car park, that is large, is only £1.50 per day. Where else would you get that right in front of the sea!!!! The food, they have cake, traditional fish and chips and pizza. I can only comment on the fish and chips(and cake) and have nothing negative to say about them. Service is prompt. Be aware though it is popular and can be very busy so if I'm doubt book a table and do your best to arrive on time. There is limited seating outside facing the sea. This is a nice back drop for a meeting, weather dependant!! I visit the perch when I'm in the area and can and do recommend it.

Carat's Cafe occupies a solitary position down on Southwick beach in Portslade. The surroundings…read moreare industrial and uninspiring, but the cafe does look out over the beach and if you have a bit of tunnel vision it's okay. Annoyingly, since last month the council have decided to charge diners to park in the adjoining car park - it seems anywhere there's a whiff of a commercial outlet there they are, ratching up the taxes on parking. I do wonder sometimes why shops and restaurants let them get away with it, it must damage trade quite a lot. Anyway, given that you've got change for the parking and can afford the extra tax on your meal, inside the cafe you'll find it's quite plain - the decor is unimaginative but it's clean and the service is friendly. This is a great place to go for breakfast or lunch, with good old English breakfasts for veggies and meat eaters, jacket potatoes, sandwiches and so on. We had two large veggie breakfasts, complete with coffee and tea, for £14.00. The food was very good, and the portions generous (1 egg, veggie sausage, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, slice of toast or fried bread, plus sauteed potatoes). A classy, romantic place for dinner it is not, but if you're looking for a clean café that does all-day breakfasts, you're in business. And the staff are very helpful and friendly. In fact, I left my handbag on the seat by mistake, and they very kindly kept it safe for me until I went back. Now that's honesty! The cafe is wheelchair friendly, on the ground floor. The adjoining toilet block is cleaned by Wettons on behalf of the local authority. It wasn't very clean and the soap dispenser was empty! But it was free to use, and situated on the ground floor so I think could be okay for disabled users. This is also a good place for dog owners. There is a seating area outside, and I spotted a large metal doggie bowl filled with clean water while I was there, so your beloved pooch will be able to have a fresh drink and feel welcome. Two tiny criticisms (which I feel almost guilty about after the staff's kindness with my bag, but I will anyway!): sometimes they clean the cafe with strong-smelling bleach while diners are still in there. This does nothing for the dining experience! In fairness they didn't last time and might have stopped doing it these days, but watch out if you're a straggler around mid-afternoon when they're cleaning, just in case! The other tiny whinge is: last time they had a notice saying that customers are not allowed in the seating area at the back of the cafe because it is closed. It would be far more polite simply to say "This section is closed - sorry". Overall though, a good place for breakfast or lunch at a reasonable price.

Situated on the beach in a not so popular area it is difficult to see why Carats Cafe is sooo…read morepopular. It does so well because the food is top notch as far as greasy spoons go and with on site, easy parking many people go here before a round of golf or before other activities. The service is always efficient and you are never left waiting long. The last time I went in there I met 3 people I knew which made me realise that it must be kept open by those well known locals who would rather drive an extra 5 minutes for quality rather than settle for mediocrity nearby.

The Big Beach Cafe based at Hove Lagoon is part-owned by local resident Norman Cook aka Fat Boy…read moreSlim. He set it up, not as a money making exercise, but to provide the local residents with a great place to grab a coffee and something to eat in what is actually a pretty under serviced area. It's a great spot, a stone's throw from the sea, and next to Hove Lagoon with all it's watersports facilities, and the play park. This ensures a huge customer base, particularly on a warm and sunny day. As well as the great location, it's actually a pretty decent place, with plenty of seating plus space for the smalls to run around, a small play area which is useful but does need updating with some newer toys, a bar area, and toilets with a baby change area. There is also a really large outdoor seating area, again perfect if you are there with the kids. The menu is pretty extensive for a cafe with breakfasts, light lunches, seasonal specials, fresh bakes and a selection of yummy looking cakes. Gluten free and vegan options are also available. The children's menu is pretty good too, with a good hot selection as well as the usual packed lunches. Ice creams are also available and there is even a fully licenced bar! This is a great place to come for a bite to eat when you are in the area. Kids and dogs are totally welcome, staff are friendly but it can get a little busy at peak times to be prepared to wait to place your order at the counter.

Not the best experience I've had in the cafe' world. Nice position and good coffee, pity the staff…read moredoesn't match it. Very offhand and blaze' attitude. Didn't think much of the foodcould do with some more originality and larger portions. Will use it again but only as a stop off point. Let's see if the treatment is better on Saturday 5th at the firework display!! If not, then a good opportunity to visit Le Spice for that wondeful curry.

It's situated near Splash point and not far from the paddling pool near the Aquarena, it's a perfect place to take the children after you've spent the day at the beach. A Summer hangout, its seating area extends to the pebbles. Coast Cafe is one of the few cafes allowed right on the beach. Organic ice cream, illy coffee, tea in china cups, cakes and foccacia sandwiches are served. I can vouch for the delicious ice cream but have not tried any of the other food. I'm planning to soon however

BETTER THAN A STANDARD CAFE…read more I've been here a few times with friends to study (and get lunch/drinks). It's quite nice. You can sit inside, outside on the street or upstairs on the rooftop terrace. Staff are usually very friendly. This place has a gluten-free cake on offer and a good menu with choice for vegetarians for a change. The iced coffee is amazing as is the home-made veggie burger. They also have good breakfasts that are served until 12. Yum.

But step inside and feast your eyes at the daily specials scrawled on a black board wall behind the counter, and you'll soon realise that Lala's Cafe is really something special. Minute steak with Cafe de Paris butter, sardines and fried squid all made an appearance this weekend... Reasonably priced and serving food throughout the day, Lala's is a great choice for those looking for a quick coffee, leisurely meal with friends or even a full blown party (although I haven't seen it for myself I hear there is a roof terrace upstairs, plus ample seating on the street for sunnier days). Having made three visits in three weekends, I can highly recommend the sandwiches, salad plates and pancakes. All freshly prepared, the servings are exceedingly generous - I've never left hungry!

Now the summer seems to be fading away, so is the appeal of the beach house restaurant…read more This is a cafe right on Worthing seafront which has a lot going for and against it. They have a nice selection of world beers - Anchor Steam Beer is one of my favourites so it's a great addition to their fridge! The wine seems very overpriced - we're talking London prices but I'm not convinced the quality justifies the price. The food is basic but fairly good - they only have a tiny kitchen and the burger flipper lad I have seen in there must just be working here as a stop gap but I really feel some really decent food could come out of the kitchen with the right person cooking! There was a chap there for a little while who was serving up some fantastic specials but he has moved on and therefore the menu has suffered. The decked terrace out the front is the show stopper, however there is a bus stop more or less in front of it and therefore the view is compromised fairly regularly by gawping bus passengers staring at you. As I mentioned earlier, this is a place for summer and therefore their trade may die along with the warm vibes so they need to step up with something else to attract their trade in the colder months especially as each time I have popped in the WIFI does not work.
