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.
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.
Street food
I was late and missed a chicken satay wrap on my way back from what I was doing.
Hu Bay Satay is literally “powered” electric food bike serving street food in Chichester and the surrounding area.
Offering passers by irresistible freshly prepared chicken in an Indonesian peanut satay sauce with lettuce wrapped in a warmed tortilla. Find them in the centre of town from mid-morning or make a booking for the bike to visit.

A Sweet Tooth
[Closed]
If you also have a sweet tooth.
Keep an eye on the Exclusive Cake Shop & Vintage Tearoom. From time to time they offer Koeksisters or Koeksusters as they are known in South Africa. They are a traditional Cape Malay confectionery made of fried dough infused in syrup or honey. Koeksisters are prepared by frying plaited dough strips in oil, then submersing the hot fried dough into ice cold sugar syrup. They have a golden crunchy crust and liquid syrup centre, are very sticky and sweet, and taste like honey.
The Vintage Tearoom is both gluten free and vegan friendly offering a comprehensive range of cakes, confectionery and speciality teas.

Woodies
A well cooked, as opposed to a well done steak is difficult to find. However the steak I was served at Woodies is worth going back to for another look see.
Nothing particularly special about it.
Other than it being well seasoned, well cooked and well prepared. And besides the tomato, perched proudly over the accompanying mushroom. Suspect it had something to do with it being infused with Gin or possibly Vodka.
The Apple Cheesecake Crumble which followed was as good, if not better than my well prepared steak. A most enjoyable meal.
