Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently center their praise on the harbour view from the upstairs balcony overlooking Emsworth marina, paired with breakfast standouts like the garden breakfast and the bacon, sausage and egg bap, once praised for its smoked streaky bacon and now noted by one reviewer as pricier and thinner since being reworked into a £5.50 base with paid add-ons. Close behind, special-occasion diners single out the mixed seafood platter, half lobster and chocolate tart from a celebratory visit, while others recall tapas, toasties with homemade coleslaw, and a snickers slice with coffee. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and accommodating, substituting missing items like mushrooms or catering to food intolerances, though a few describe inconsistency after a change in management, slow counter ordering, and one diner who wasn't offered a replacement after removing items from a set breakfast. Another recounts arriving on a fully booked Father's Day only to be seated briefly before loud music prompted an early exit. Several also note private hires, including a wake and a cycling club visit, where buffets and staff accommodations left lasting impressions.

“Had a really fab lunch with my family. The view of the marina was lovely and the atmosphere relaxed and friendly. The food was delicious - yummy toasties and they did a small side salad which was delicious. Finished off with milkshakes! They only had one milkshake maker so it took time to make all 4 milkshakes and the strawberry and banana milkshakes were more delicious than the chocolate. Will definitely come back!”

We also love visiting for the themed evenings and breakfasts. The news evening menu looks delicious and cannot wait to try it.”

“Stunning venue led by the lovely Kate and her fantastic team. The tapas were fabulous, great flavours and thoroughly delicious. The team were attentive, friendly and accommodating making for a really lovely and relaxed evening for my son’s birthday. The views are quite breathtaking in this hidden gem of a cafe bar, that frequently has a range of pop ups and live music. Simply wonderful x”

“What a wonderful place, relaxed atmosphere with a fabulous ambience. All the staff deserve a special mention as they were friendly, very hard working and genuinely go out of their way to ensure everyone are happy, catered for and all this with smiles. We attended a birthday celebration which was catered for superbly. The food is/was stunning, extremely well presented and was very tasty indeed. Can’t wait for another birthday so we can come back here. Lovely place, great ambience, great food at really affordable prices.”
