After a three hour drive in the early morning, we arrived at Chichester around breakfast time.
Chichester is the only city in West Sussex and is its county town. An important settlement during Anglo-Saxon times, it is home to a monumental cathedral dating from the 12th century. It is also home to the Chichester Festival Theatre.
Knowing how many excellent places there are to get breakfast or brunch along our local high street, which is in a residential area and not a place to find tourists, we were expected a quaint tea shop or country pub selling a full English. So we pulled off the A27 for breakfast.
What a surprise we got when there was no such place to be found. The area around the station included a venue that served food all day…..but only after 12 noon. There were a couple of pubs and restaurants nearby but they too were similarly closed. We ventured further and found a waterfront café that was open for coffee but only had outdoor seating. In late November, I think not.
We then spotted a leisure park with a sign showing it included numerous restaurants and a premier inn hotel. Hurrah, an hotel meant there must be a breakfast venue nearby. We hurried around the estate to find all the restaurants closed except for a lone McDonald’s.
We were extremely disappointed with the options available. I wondered if other tourists felt the same.
