Busking

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.

Multi-drop driver jobs

How does one get a job as a multi-drop driver in Chichester?  The answer is with difficulty.

Like most things, it is not as straight forward as it could be.  Most drivers jobs are based in Southampton, Portsmouth and Littlehampton servicing the Amazon distribution centres .  Although Milk and More do advertise and there should be jobs delivering for the local supermarkets. But I have never managed to get a response from Milk and More and every advert I have replied to ends up at Amazon.

Bumbles

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.

Homemade food in Chichester, West Sussex

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.

Cell phone charging points

Where can one find a cell phone charging point? A question that gets asked more times than there are answers.

I have started driving for Deliveroo.

The app one uses to fulfill the orders drains my battery and I am looking. Not only for a charging point I can use, I also need free parking. Somewhere I can sit, read a newspaper and wait.

Where to eat

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.
