Reviews For Perch on Lancing Beach

Great location right on the beach and the England Coast Path which I had been walking from Shoreham by Sea. Had a bit of a wait for my fish and chips but was enjoyable when it did arrive. Good value for money. A popular spot and very full when I arrived for late lunch. An undercover outdoor seating area which was adequate with a fabulous view and relaxed atmosphere. Good selection of deserts and cakes if inclined. Helpful staff, nice atmosphere and clean throughout. Whether dining or just a casual beer, coffee and cake, I can recommend The Perch on Lancing Beach.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Perch (Lancing Beach) with my friend, brother and his little 4 year old girl last Tuesday. We were treated with incredible warmth and kindness and nothing was too much trouble for your lovely staff. We had brunch and coffees (I had the sweet waffle with fruit and yoghurt) which was DELICIOUS! Special mention to one of your waitresses, Sophie, who was so friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. We will definitely be returning!

We had lunch at the lancing perch, we did not have a reservation, but Hanna got us a table. She recognised us from a previous visit and was very friendly. We are served by Sophie, wow what a bundle of fun. She made the experience great, very hard worker, and nothing was too much trouble. The food standard was excellent, totally enjoyed our meal. The whole staff worked like a real team, which was great to see, supporting one another and getting the jobs done. The tables were cleaned withing minutes of guest leaving. Well done, and as I said Sophie and Hanna are little stars.

Very good mussel pot, a nice change from the usual wine based ones. Really great atmosphere. Might be a bit noisy for some but I enjoyed it. Sophie our waitress, was great and we didn't have to wait for food or drinks. Great venue by the beach in Lancing.

Visited for breakfast, busy restaurant but with plenty of happy attentive and friendly staff! Great coffee, amazing food, the fried chicken waffle is highly recommended! Book in advance to avoid any disappointment, it's busy for a reason!

The main reason that Lancing is my second most visited parkrun (other than my local). There is nothing better than finishing a 5k, then heading to the Perch for one of their Monty breakfast baps and a fabulous coffee. And the Monty is by far the best breakfast bap I've come across - I'm always raving about it to fellow parkrunners. Sausage, bacon, egg, and rosti, in a beautifully toasted brioche bap - all you could want. I often pick up one of the brownies too - some delicious flavours on offer, including biscoff, kinder bueno, etc. Top that off with gorgeous views of the seafront right in front of you. On a sunny day, it really is stunning. You might even receive a visit from the starlings who must nest nearby, and you're serenaded by beautiful birdsong in exchange for a few crumbs from your plate. Ample parking for a reasonable price on the green too. Definitely a wonderful little gem, tucked away between Worthing and Brighton.

Tasty baps, breakfasts, and mussels... Coffee always served hot and has a wonderful aroma and taste.. Never rushed.... Wendy gave efficient, friendly, fun service.... Me and my dad are always well looked after. Views always amazing... It's our favourite place.. Thank you, Perch people!

We had a great family get together at Perch. Managing our group of 20 with the usual suspects arriving late was never going to be easy but the staff were very helpful and flexible. The restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere in keeping with the great sea side location. Tasty food from traditional fish and chips to other classics with a twist. A couple of hours on the beach in the sun after lunch with some braving a quick dip. All in all a great day out. We may be back next year for the 93rd birthday reunion! Many thanks
