Brunch in Chichester: The Best Breakfast and Brunch Spots

For brunch in Chichester, most people land on 17 Grams on East Street, which serves brunch until 4.30pm every day; Trading Post on South Street, with its roof garden; Boston Tea Party on Baffins Lane, where breakfast runs all day; and The Ivy Chichester Brasserie for a booked table. By the water, it is the Boathouse at Chichester Marina. Every entry checked against the venue’s own site on 27 October 2026.

We have not eaten at these places for this guide, and nothing here is a review. Each entry sets out what the venue publishes: what it says it serves, prices from its own menu, serving times and booking rules. Hygiene ratings come from the Food Standards Agency (FSA). Menus and prices change with the season, so check before a special trip.

How we chose

These are the Chichester breakfast and brunch places people search for: the ones named in published round-ups by Absolutely Magazines and The Great Sussex Way, the city-centre cafes that serve brunch into the afternoon, and the harbour and estate cafes people drive out to. Every place has a food hygiene rating of 5, and none had posted a closure notice. We left out places whose own breakfast menus and hours we could not find. The prices and times come from each venue’s own website and menus, checked on 27 October 2026, and the ratings from the Food Standards Agency.
