The Real Eating Company Cafe

Poor service and cleanliness issues. Visited this morning for breakfast. Took around 45 minutes for food to arrive despite it being quiet. Food poor. Grilled tomato was not cooked and the beans were stone cold. Tables dirty and did not see staff clearing or cleaning tables leaving customers to clear themselves upon arrival. Latte not bad however the cup was dirty and no teaspoons or saucers which I found strange. Did not attempt to drink the glass of water as the glass was filthy. Got another which was equally filthy. £13.50 for a below par full English, I feel robbed and should have gone elsewhere. Used the toilet upon leaving. Stank of urine and didn’t look as though it had been cleaned for a very long time. Don’t waste your money here is my advice. Safe to say we will not be back.

Really glad I went here I was quite empty when I arrived at 9am and packed solid when I left I had the full English 3 fried eggs 2 sausage beans tomato 5 bits of bacon don't know if that's normal 2 bits of toast nice butter lovely pot of tea all really well cooked the place was nice and clean and the staff were brilliant especially the dark haired lady who was really friendly and efficient I don't know what the other reviews on here are on about you won't get a better quality breakfast in Chichester for 15 quid than this well done I will be back

Wouldn’t recommend! The table was dirty, it had old mugs on and crumbs everywhere! I waited 35 minutes for my full English breakfast, I asked for crispy bacon. When it came the bacon was hardly cooked, I asked if it could be a little crispier. My mistake!! I then waited another 15 minutes and my breakfast was not in sight. I went to the counter they couldn’t locate the breakfast, turns out they had given it to another customer. I requested a refund rightly so, they didn’t apologise. Will never be going there again!!

Terrible, service non existence. Took 20 for drinks and sandwiches to arrive. Poor oerson who came in fir a pot of tea was told don't have ordinary tea. Considering all they offer is drinks and sandwiches I am at a loss to understand why it is so hard to provide. Will not return and the managers need to look hard at this establishment

Don’t go here! It’s rare of me to post a really negative comment but avoid this place at all cost. Can you imagine going to a cafe that doesn’t have tea bags! Ordered a couple of mains bacon butties and melts. We were told of delays but after 40 minutes had to give up and go back to work. Felt sorry for female waitress as she had no one to rely on and total lack of support. Such a shame as one of the few local independents in Chichester but you need to get your act together!
