Chichester Cathedral Cloisters Cafe

Chichester Cathedral has a reputation for being very welcoming, and one example of this welcome is the cafe that has been created in the beautiful cloisters. Even in bad weather you can sit and enjoy the truly wonderful building around you while you have a coffee or a meal.
The food is self-service and all freshly produced. The soup of the day was very tasty and the bread rolls very good. The menu changes frequently so would be a good place to eat if you visited Chichester regularly.
Dogs are allowed in the Cloister, and as it is a cafe it is very child friendly.
.. and don't forget to visit the Cathedral while you're there!!
Verdict - A popular cafe with well made food, so be prepared to queue at busy periods

Dell Quay, Chichester Harbour, Hants

Looking for lunch out where there is no traffic and where you can just sit and watch other people do the work? The Crown and Anchor at Dell Quay, Appledram is situated between Chichester and Bosham, on the very edge of Chichester Harbour. The popular pub is well managed, and is used to large numbers of people turning up in good weather. In high season they not only serve food indoors, but also have a fish kitchen and BBQ in the garden.
Your view is the harbour and Dell Quay Sailing Club, and at high tide the hard work is all done by the sailors in their dingies. At low tide the area takes on the look of a creek, but still very easy on the eye. A very child friendly garden, although you would want to keep them from climbing over the fence onto the water. Dogs are welcome in and out of the bar.
On the day we were there the local fresh fish and chips looked 'historic' (to quote Michael Winner!) and the beer is always good. The only down side is that due to it's popularity parking can be a problem, so be prepared to park on the side of the road and walk down. Well worth the walk!
Verdict - A pub that you will wish was your local!
