Although it was not your regular Welsh rarebit.

It was good enough to get me to try their potatoe hash.

But I did not dare to ask for salt.

It wasn’t needed and 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. To try the diffent options at prices that will appeal to students.

If you appreciate fresh eggs, with your full English, Crispins in East St serve a good breakfast.

There are two if not three different rooms giving one the choice of finding a table in a quiet corner.

Comfortably informal, it is an independent family run cafe serving fresh home-cooked meals and one of the best traditional English breakfasts in the Chichester Harbour area.

Well cooked, well presented and if you choose the big breakfast you won’t be disappointed. Unpretentious, down to earth, often a very busy cafe serving good food and the sort of service which keeps one going back for more.

I used to start the morning at Lakes Traditional English Cafe. A builders breakfast with fried bread, black pudding and a mug of sweet tea.

But they sold years ago.

Stuck for choice, I headed to the other end of town, settling down with my newspaper at Charlie Harpers.

Where I splashed out on the Black Pudding Hash. Just to be different.  Something I will do again. They also offer Rooibos and the fried bread comes standard.

The old Lakes Breakfast Cafe became The Pass Street Food Cafe and now Fujiwara Japanese Kitchen. Whereas the menu at Charlie Harpers has not been changed. It still comes with fried bread but after consulting FaceBook, am discovering that a few other places also offer the ubiquitous slice.

This is what took me back to Winchester over the weekend.

Only to discover that it is no longer on the menu. After a three hour bus ride, it was a bit of a disappointment. Despite which the Black Boy pub is still worth a visit.

Although I doubt it will involve a special outing by bus next time.

Old wooden tables and a quirky collection of the oddest artefacts and bric-a-brac. Four squirrels playing pool in a glass case, a couple of squash rackets mounted on the wall and shelves of books. Not quite a library, nor a museum but definitely a pub worth exploring.

Pity about the pudding.
