You will find Buskers in most cities, on most days. Chichester is no different. There are some incredibly talented musicians playing to the crowds that drift slowly by.

 

Occasionally stopping to listen. A timeless story. One with many endings. But always a common thread.

And sometimes even despite the rain.

Not your regular Welsh rarebit. Not that it is a complaint.

To the contrary it was good enough to get me to try their potatoe hash.

It wasn’t needed. But I did not dare to ask for salt. I was intimidated. The Jam Cafe in South St is different. Frequented by creative types doing stuff all sorts of stuff that is different.

Offering the most interesting menu I have found in Chichester. Challenging one explore and try the diffent options at prices that will appeal to students. I am just surprised that one does not have to reserve a table well in advance.

 

But maybe it was just a Wednesday, when things are a bit quieter.

Found a new  cafe and coffee shop at the bottom of South St. They actually opened early in March but then, things got complicated.

It’s a family run cafe serving good coffee,

an all day breakfast and a light lunch menu.

All homemade with that little bit extra. The fish pie was great and I would have liked to try the ginger sponge. But having started with the soup of the day I will wait for the next time.

If I remember it was courgette and something else I will have to ask about when I go back for the pudding.

Despite being famished, before stopping at The Pass for a burger, I wandered up to Charlie Harpers to see what they were offering on their specials board.

[Edit] 11/05/2020 There has been a change of Chef at Charlie Harpers and with it the menu. Lunch is more quiche, pasta and chicken with cream teas, a little later in the day. Still good but different. 

Crispy belly of pork served with black pudding mash, apple cider and thyme jus, green beans and bacon.

More than enough to get me to a table and take out the newspaper.

Charlie Harpers is one of the best casual day restaurants in Chichester. Their specials board always offers something of interest at very affordable prices.

But it’s the Mexican burger at the Pass Street Food Cafe that I do more often than not. It is a rare pleasure to be served something bursting with flavour that needs no seasoning.

Again value for money.

The only restaurant where I order a burger. They also do a monthly special which is always ‘different’.

These two along with and De Levante in St Pancras are worth trying as is Crispins, St Martins Coffee and Common Grounds.
