"Breakfast today, just wow! What a piece of art. Beautifully presented and tasted out of this world. Fabulous service as always and the chef is an artist"

"This small, local café is the perfect place for breakfast. The menu offers a dozen different breakfast dishes to choose from. You can choose from various sandwiches - baguettes, bagels, bruschettas, several types of salads, and traditional English breakfast. The food is freshly prepared and very tasty. The portions are large and filling. The coffee is very good. The staff is friendly. The décor of the place is pleasant. With a significant number of customers, the café can be a bit chaotic. There are occasional mistakes with orders. For me, a big downside is the dull knives, which make cutting bruschetta difficult and quite tiring. The food and coffee were so good that I will definitely return."

"Our group had a lovely Christmas lunch at the Lighthouse last week. The food was delicious and the service excellent. I enjoyed the turkey with all the trimmings, which was cooked perfectly and Christmas pudding with poached pear, nut brittle and thick cream to follow. It was great value for money. We have lunch there often, I thoroughly recommend it."

"Stopped by the Lighthouse Café in Littlehampton and was so impressed. I had the bruschetta to start — beautifully. For my main, I had the mussels, and they were absolutely delicious — fresh, perfectly cooked, and served in a rich, flavourful broth with crusty bread to soak it all up. The staff were lovely — friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The café has a cosy, coastal charm and a really relaxed atmosphere that made the whole experience even better. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. I’ll be back for sure!"

"Nice little café, we stopped for brunch and liquid refreshments. You order and pre-pay at the till and the friendly staff bring the order to your table. I have to comment on the poached eggs; they were cooked to perfection. The only disappointment was the English breakfast. The bacon was so overcooked that it was brittle and the sausage had an odd taste and odour. No complaints on the coffees or service."

"The most fantastic food/drink at a reasonable price. Been coming here for a while now and the food never disappoints. Had this from the specials board today and couldn’t believe how good it was, would love this to be on the menu permanently. There is something for everyone here."
