Can't recommend it enough. Doggy friendly, newly refurbished and most of all accommodating. I have dietary requirements to which they advised and offer alternatives to what was on the menu. Also good bargain, will visit again as I'm a regular to the island.

Friendly staff, family run cafe. Dog friendly, but most importantly delicious fresh food. We had a BLT baguette and a cheese burger and both were freshly cooked to order and very tasty. Plenty of fillings and sauce in both burger and baguette and lovely quality bacon and burger patty. 5 stars will be coming again. We also had the Ice-cream after, which again was great!

Strange times, socially distant queuing, face masks, stand outside waiting for your order......all worth it. Great value for money well cooked, and tasted fantastic. We sat on the beach to eat ours, just to be a little nostalgic.

Staying in Pagham and decided to go to Hayling island. Stopped off at the Beach cafe as my wife needed a drink. She is also type 2 diabetic and needs to top up her sugar levels. Asked the owners here if they had any biscuits. Lady said "no sorry only dog biscuits but I will make you a cheese roll up".I said "how much "and she replied "nothing because I asked you and you didn't ask me!" What an absolutely smashing lady!! We are back in September and so will definitely drop back here.Thanks to you both made our day.
