Customer Review Summary
Breakfast draws recurring praise, with one visitor describing a quiet Sunday morning full of families and spaced-out tables, though they didn't eat. Real ale and piping hot food delivered quickly are also mentioned favorably, alongside friendly staff. One reviewer, however, reports being told to leave by 9pm with their young child and given cold, burnt food in cardboard boxes with no cutlery or napkins.

“Great atmosphere people and the staff are super friendly. Food was piping hot and was delivered before the expected waiting time. Great if you are having a trip to bognor.”

“We arrived at 8.20pm and ordered £30 worth of food. We were then told we would have to leave at 9pm because we had our son with us, which we were aware might happen but we're unsure as our local (we were stating at Butlins), doesn't usually kick people out if it's quiet, and it was most definitely quiet here. Instead of giving us the food and us quickly eating and leaving, they slapped it in cardboard boxes with no napkins or cutlery and sent us out. I know spoons is meant to be cheap and cheerful but this is ridiculous. Everything was cold and burnt or stuck to the cardboard.”

“I drove to the Esplanade, paid £3.20 for 2h parking, and walked the 10 minutes to this Wetherspoons pub. Pleasant service with no problem to try before I bought. I enjoyed one real ale (see photos) due to driving. …”
- Ethan Mockford
“The Hatters Inn is an amazing place to eat at. The food is pretty much always great, depending on how busy it is, food could come out quickly. Prices are very reasonable as mainly most of the menu comes with a drink when you order. Staff are friendly and are happy to help you if you need assistance. I recommend!”
- Brian Curtin
“A nice quiet Spoons full of families having a quiet Sunday morning breakfast. Pub was light & airy inside with lots of natural light. Tables were spread out leaving you with a sense of space. Outside seating area at the rear was large & had a separate area for smokers. Paid for parking on the roadside was handy. Didn't eat here but the breakfast's looked good. Food & drink prices were average for Spoons. Would happily visit again.”
