About Perch on the Parade
Perch on the Parade is a cafe in Worthing at 1 Beach Parade, with a view over the seafront. The menu covers brunch and Sunday breakfast alongside pizzas, including the Margherita and the Pepperoni. Vegan options include a falafel dish with balsamic sauce. The whole cafe can be hired for sole use, with doors opening onto a beach-side terrace over the parade. Birthdays, a golden wedding and a work party have all been hosted there, so it works for groups planning a private function. Dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often describe booking the cafe for celebrations, including a surprise 70th birthday, a Golden Wedding with sole use of the cafe, a 60th birthday evening and a work party. They credit the manager and team with helping plan each event and running it smoothly, and a few mention doors open to the beach side terrace on sunny days. Food comes close behind: the classic Margherita and Pepperoni pizzas, honey wings, and a vegan falafel dish with balsamic sauce that one diner found tasty and not dry, though that reviewer wished for a second vegan protein. Others mention a salmon bowl, decent coffee, a Bloody Mary and vanilla ice cream on a coke. Staff are called friendly, kind and attentive, and the seafront view comes up repeatedly. The one complaint comes from a coffee and tea visitor whose tea tasted of plastic, served in a scratched, stained plastic cup, and who urges the owners to switch to ceramic cups.

“Rosie helped us plan our Golden Wedding celebration at Perch on the Parade on September 5th and it was perfect! We had sole use of the cafe for the afternoon and had the best time. All our guests were seriously impressed with everything, the venue, the vibe, staff and food! Connor was excellent as were all the team. Nothing was too much trouble. The sun shone all day and we were able to use the outside space. It was a fabulous day filled with fun, music, great food, several drinks and even a bit of a dance!! We would highly recommend the Perch. Thank you Rosie and see you soon. Jan and Rob x”

“Me, my elderly mum and her best friend had a wonderful afternoon here. The food was amazing, such a great location and the service from Connie and Louisa was exceptional, both were so kind, warm and attentive throughout our visit. We can’t wait to come back again next time we are in town.”

“I booked Perch on the Parade for a Private Function - my 60th birthday celebrations. Rosie and her team couldn't have done more to ensure that the evening went smoothly. From assisting with the planning and the preparations to ensuring that the event itself ran seemlessly. The food and the service were perfect. We were fortunate enough to have good weather, so the doors onto the beach side terrace were open all evening which added to the holiday atmosphere. I can recommend Perch as the ideal place to make your party go well.”
