The cafe
A petrol heads destination café which is fast becoming one of the busiest car meet ups in West Sussex.
The café has been designed to invite the outdoors right inside to the main coffee brew bar area - weather permiting. When the large electric metal framed main door is raised it allows one of the car parks to merge with the café.
The brew bar area is spacious allowing customers to stand and chat. Through glass doors can be found the downstairs café lounge and seating area.
Upstairs leads to another seating and lounge area incorporating a full Debox Motion Racing sim with a view down onto the brew bar.
The overall design and décor embraces garage, petrol head and motor racing heritage. With muraled walls and objects of interest.
THE FOOD
Simple food made very well,
All of our food in either baked or cooked in our own kitchen – we buy nothing readymade.
Cakes and Savoury
always have a full selection cakes all baked in house from super lush chocolate Brownie made with Belgium chocolate, moist apple cake made with cooking and desert apples, lemon Drizzle drench in unrefined sugar and Sicilian lemon juice.
Our fabulous sausage rolls, remarkable enough to be famous - sausage meat from Outwood Butchery wrapped in shortcrust pastry.
Hot Food
A full menu is available all day
Legendary bacon rolls, sausage patties, burgers, stone baked pizzas and hot dogs - all just a little bit different than the norm. Plenty for the vegan and veggies, from our own beetroot burger to mediterranean tartlets
