We are a café on the river Arun, we think we have the best view in Arundel! We serve fresh cut bread for your sandwiches and everything is made to order, so either wash down with hot drink or a glass of wine or beer. The cakes are all made on the premises

Iâm not sure if this cafe has changed hands but if it hasnât the standard has dropped. A lot of very noisy staff and the premises looking very tatty. I had a prawn sandwich and have suffered with an upset tummy since!I am sorry to hear this as all our food is made to order and given the amount of prawns we go through in a day cant understand why no one else complained! All my staff are very happy people maybe it was cheerful noise you heard

Traditional tea room in the heart of Arundel.
Reviewed By ysa1772
Quality location and warm welcome on arrival. As we arrived we were informed that window seats were avaialbe in the upper floor which was very helpful. Traditional style setting in the front room and more contemporary in the rear room so should suit just about anyone. The quality of the service was excellent, the tea and the cakes/scones were excellent and it was a dog friendly establishment. Certainly a place we would return to if in the area again anytime soon.

This is a very small café, in a good position near the river, with not much space between tables. Service was very poor, we had to cancel our food order as we had finished the tea and still not served our food.Inundated with wasps inside, not their fault but really unpleasant for everyone.

Driving my disabled Father back from Hospital the other week, he really fancied a cooked breakfast from one of his favourite Café haunts. We were able to phone ahead from Chichester and collect a delicious Corn Store, Full Breakfast, and head on home. Packaged wonderfully, brought out of the kitchen as I walked in, could not have been easier. This is almost definitely going to become a regular thing!

A casual but glamorous cafe in the heart of beautiful Arundel. We serve delicious toasted sandwiches, fantastic British charcuterie and cheeses, cream teas and great cakes; some gluten free. A contemporary interior and a warm welcome awaits.

My friends picked this cafe for coffee and cake and it was nice, there was a choice of cakes and gluten free for my friend. I had a toasted tea cake which was nice and the girls had gateau. The coffee was nice and service good. The decor looks newish I guess they will work their way down the stairs before the toilet. All good thank you.Hello, thanks very much for your review - we're so glad you enjoyed your coffee and cake. Extraordinarily enough the stairs down to the loo were decorated at the same time as everything else - but we have the pleasure (and pain) of being tenants in a period building, which gives us lovely light and room proportion but the usual Georgian damp basement....!

Traditional Tea Room
Reviewed By Heather S
We called in for coffee on arriving in Arundel and were made to feel so welcome that we decided to go back later in the afternoon for the full afternoon tea experience. We had salmon and cream cheese sandwiches as well as egg mayo followed by very large scones (plain for me and fruit for my husband) all washed down with a plentiful pot of tea. This was £9.50 for each and if we had had room we could have had a slice of one of the delicious looking cakes available for an extra £1.50 each. They also sell a few cards and craft items and were doing a roaring trade of their ice-creams which had some interesting flavours.The lady in charge was really lovely and told us a little about the festival which was taking place and what else we should see apart from the castle.

A lunchtime rush promised much yet delivered very little: a brief half an hour was spent in the cafe yet despondency amongst staff left customers feeling like an inconvenience. Requests for condiments were met with barely concealed irritation. The meals were adequate at best but there was disparity between the price of the food and what was delivered. Having ordered a dairy-free drink due to a lactose intolerance, a regular dairy drink was delivered. On querying the origins of the milk, staff bizarrely asked whether the lactose-intolerant customer would like to finish the drink. A further request for separate bills was met with clenched teeth and a barely concealed sigh. This constant neediness simply added a further dreary layer of tedium to the apparently already bored staffâs troublesome shift from hell. Apologies for inconveniencing you all.

Had breakfast here two mornings on the trot while staying in the town. Much better prices than hotels very close by and in my opinion you couldnât get a better breakfast. Small English breakfast that didnât seem too small to me. Friendly staff in a nice atmosphere located in the middle of town. I would definitely recommend eating here.

We cannot say enough great things about Joannaâs. We had our wedding reception there and the food, service, venue were OUTSTANDING. Jo, Luca and their wonderful team could not do enough for us and nothing was too much trouble. If youâre thinking of using this venue for any function you WILL NOT be disappointed. Wonderful...just wonderful â¥ï¸

We were really looked forward to visiting this tearoom. The view is fabulous but, oh dear, the wait for our food was totally unacceptable. It was not busy - 4 or 5 tables had customers - but we waited 45 minutes for a scone and an afternoon tea. Trouble was our drinks were brought a few minutes after ordering but the coffee was stone cold by the time we were served out food. When I pointed this out, the waiter only apologised - did not offer to replace our drinks. My scone was excellent but my daughter's afternoon tea was very sparse - a few finger sandwiches of mainly cheese, cheese and cucumber, or cucumber and a few mini cakes and I mean mini. Again her scone was excellent though. Will we go again? No I don't think so when there are so many better places nearby. Shame. The views are super and the staff are very friendly and attentive. But the wait for food is silly.I'm sorry you were disappointed, we did warn every customer that there was a wait over lunchtime which gave you the choice to stay or leave - you chose to stay. We also replaced any drinks that came with our cream teas.I'm not sure where you sat but we were full all day, so "4 or 5 tables had customers" is simply not true.All Riverside Cream Teas have 8 finger sandwiches: smoked salmon, cucumber, cheese & pickle and egg sandwiches - I double-checked with our kitchen and they certainly did not sent out the sandwiches you are describing, they also come with mini cakes as specified on the menu, it is such a big tea that a lot of people end up taking the cakes home!
