“Stress free shopping experience, lovely shop with good quality clothing and excellent customer service will definitely go back.”

“Have just returned from enjoying the tastiest breakfast here! We were looking for somewhere do friendly for myself, my parents and my brother and his partner to meet and catch up but we were hoping to bring our 10 month old German Shepherd pup too. They couldn't have been more chilled and accommodating if they tried. Firstly, the staff were so lovely and friendly, super chilled with Bella, bringing her a bowl of water when we arrived and so kind when she wasn't totally aware how much space her puppy butt was taking up. The food was amazing, the smoothies tasted great and when we ordered a sausage for the pup, it was provided in a cute lil cup of her own and helped keep laying down and learning to be calm in public places. I ordered the chorizo eggs (Photo) and I would wholeheartedly recommend. We will absolutely be returning in the near future!”

“Delicious, with a great selection, combined with a friendly service, Vegan options too which our guest really was happy and impressed with. ....and if you are not, they also source local meat from small farms too. Let's not forget to mention succulent fresh fish.. first time to try white tuna.. I can't remember the other name it's given Sensibly priced lunch menu too, though some of us went al a carte and also very happy with our choices. Definitely will return.”

“Amazing place! We arrived late on a random Wednesday evening with our kids and the staff were so friendly, gave us extras and just generally were awesome lovely people. We are eating our fish & chips on the beach right now as I type this, and the whole family agree it is delicious! Highly recommend : )”

“Dropped into Café Coho in Brighton just before closing, and despite it being near the end of the day, the welcome was still warm and friendly — no sense of being hurried out the door. I ordered a strong flat white, and it was exactly what I needed: rich, full-bodied, and clearly made with care, even that close to closing time. The café itself has a clean, stylish feel without trying too hard — relaxed but with attention to detail. The staff were attentive and polite, and there was a sense that they genuinely cared about the quality of both the coffee and the customer experience. It’s easy for some places to switch off as the shutters go down, but not here. That level of consistency says a lot. I’ll absolutely be back again when I'm next in the area, whether it's for a slow sit-down or another quick pick-me-up. Highly recommend if you’re after proper coffee and a professional, no-fuss service in central Brighton.”

“Gorgeous aesthetics, calm yet upbeat funky atmosphere and most importantly great food with something catered for everyone Safe to say a new favourite place pricey but worth it definitely springs to mind perfect place for a date or a special occasion, booked up quickly and friendly staff. Nothing bad to say about it as it was very nice I was even recommend a better option from gentleman serving which I enjoyed a lot, even people cooking smiling and enjoying their jobs really nice atmosphere and a very enjoyable experience overall will return another evening, I even had my child and asked to use the restroom outside the front of the premises which they allowed at the time but when entering smelt the food and needed to sit down and try it and so glad I did. I'd been missing out on this little gem! Worth a visit! thank you.”

“I love this place. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. I like taking my coffee sitting outside. Actually I find its interior very inspiring and peaceful.”

“I’ve only ever ordered pizzas from here and last nights pizza was superb. I’m fussy and it ticked every box there is for delicious and well cooked food . On top of that the staff rang and confirmed where I lived and it arrived piping hot. The delivery guy almost told me not to tip him and gave me tips on keeping warm because I was cold. I wouldn’t get pizzas anywhere else. From the chefs and supporting staff my takeaway was perfect. Thank you. Xx”

“Absolutely amazing. Food was fresh, hot and crispy. Tasted beautiful. Staff were delightful and friendly and really enjoyed the time there. The place is clean and cozy. We sat downstairs but there is seating upstairs and outside. We already want to go back.”

“Venesssa, Nakita, Denise were incredibly hospitable. Being from a a different county, these girls made us feel comfortable. They are great and lovely. I really appreciate going into a pub that actually cares about the patrons that walk in. Honestly. The best pub in Brighton”

“I first came here on my birthday in December and was blown away by the friendliness of the staff, the quality of food and the prices! We’ve been back every month since, it’s brilliant for big tables or an intimate dinner of 2, I just love it. They make a big effort if it’s someone’s birthday and considering when we came last night we must of been quite loud (apologies!) but they were so cool with us and had great banter. So relaxed! Considering the big portion sizes and yummy food, I’m surprised how cheap it is as well. Definitely my favourite Italian in worthing at the moment. Thanks guys we’ll see you next month!”

“Fabulous evening, friendly staff and food was excellent. Had the mushrooms with poached egg to start (pictured)and the special board choice of tbone steak and it was all delicious. Reasonable prices and will definitely be going back soon.”

“Ok. Let’s start saying that I went to this place with very little expectation to find Sicilian street food, contrary wise this place exceeded my expectations. A precious little place in duke street that stand out for all the competitors in the street. I went safe for coffee and cake and it was ever so good that I decided to have an arancino al pistacchio after, and I was literally transported to Sicily with the flavours of the food. At the exit I managed to compliment myself with Davide the owner of the place, which was exquisite. His passion is clearly expressed into the food and the attention to details. I would not hesitate to come back for a coffee and cake, quick or long lunch, an aperitivo or a nice traditional unique Sicilian meal out. Ideal for everyone, from kids to adult and wheelchair friendly with ground floor access and tables. The unpretentiousness of this place makes it ideal for a solo meal as well as a romantic date to impress. Sicilian typical product also available to buy at the counter....not to be missed the “Crema al pistacchio”. In conclusion, this place is a must go either if you are Italian or not, and you will easily spot why is second to none. So far the best “arancini” in Brighton.”

“We love this cafe, the proprietors are lovely and welcoming.Although there is a substantial menu I usually have the breakfast burger as it's my favourite and my wife enjoys a jacket potato or the macaroni cheese! A nice selection of cakes are available and the coffee is really nice. In case you wondered, I highly recommend this cafe in Tarring village.”

“Had two really lovely pizzas last night. The menu is extensive, with meat, vegetarian and vegan options, as well as pasta, salads and sides. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. They are still getting themselves sorted as they have only been open a matter of days, but I really hope it's a great success.”

“Shepherd's is quite a small but long shop that offers very reasonable prices and good quality materials. The staff are very helpful and they don't make you look silly if you really don't know how to ask for something. They will help you get the correct measurements and materials. They even have front doors at a good price.”

“The shop is incredibly well organised and the staff incredibly helpful! Highly recommend”

“Very friendly and efficient service.”

“I've been visiting Sky High Fish Bar since childhood, and it remains a standout. The family-run establishment is always welcoming, offering delicious food with impressive efficiency. It's also very affordable, especially compared to other fish and chip shops in the area. A large cod and chips costs just £10, which is fantastic value. The current staff are lovely and provide excellent service. I highly recommend Sky High Fish Bar.”

“Amazing family owned business. The best kabab place in crawley by far. Fantastic food, really good portions and all very reasonably priced! Highly recommended!”

“I've really enjoyed all my visits to this cafe/restaurant, in Horam. As there's plenty of in door & out door seating. They offer an excellent selection of drinks, cake & desserts. It's also a nice place for a short stroll around their fishing ponds.”

“Atmosphere was a bit quiet as there was a huge storm outside so it was less busy than usual. It's normally lively and enjoyable though. Food was exceptionally good, as it always is here. Great value, especially with the annual members card. Fantastic variety, catering for veggies and vegans too, yay! Would love a bit more vegan protein that isn't fake meat, but hey, I'm not complaining, just gently suggesting! Staff are always friendly, capable, available and competent. All in all a reliably fantastic restaurant with great prices, wonderful food, super service and a friendly vibe. Highly recommended!”

“really friendly staff, great priced coffee and snacks. I only popped in for a coffee but looks like a great community asset.”
