Harbour Lights - Arun

We recently took a leisurely stroll along the promenade and the side of the tidal river on a beautiful sunny day in the middle of the week. When we reached the lifeboat station, we decided to stop for a drink. The Port Light Café was bustling with customers, both inside and outside at the tables. Despite the crowd, we were able to secure a table inside away from the wind by one of the large windows. I went to the busy counter to order our drinks, where the service from the hardworking ladies was quick and efficient. I ordered a hot chocolate and two Americanos with milk. Unfortunately, there was a long line for the toilets due to some customers leaving a mess in at least one of them.

We were highly impressed by the renovated restaurant and the extensive menu selection. My partner and I tried the beer-battered fish and chips, which were delicious. The presentation was superb, and the view was stunning. My daughter enjoyed the seafood box, particularly the aioli, and even complimented the waitress on how beautiful it was. As we were leaving, the chef surprised us with a takeaway box and a lovely note. We will definitely be returning and will likely try the breakfast menu next time.

With friends, drunk coffee. like dish water and a small cup altho said it medium and very expensive for what it was. you will find that some places are the same with Decaf coffee. dogs are allowed inside so I don't go back. his unhygienic and. have bad allergy to them. Give me any costa coffee!

We had taken a leisurely walk along the promenade and then down the side of the tidal river on a lovely sunny mid week morning recently. Just past the life boat station we stopped off for a cuppa. The Harbour lights cafe was doing a...roaring trade and all tables outside were taken as well as many of those inside. Nevertheless we bagged a table out of the wind inside by one of the large windows and I went to join the substantial queue to get our drinks. Service by the army of busy ladies behind the counter was quick and efficient. I ordered hot chocolate and two Americanos with milk. All good. Oh, by the way there was heavy traffic for the toilets unfortunately some customers had made a disgusting mess in at least one of them...

We very impressed with the refurb, good selection on menu. My husband and I had the beer battered fish and chips which was lovely. Super presentation and such a lovely view. My daughter had the seafood box which she really enjoyed especially the aioli and...she told the waitress how lovely it was and before we left the chef came out with a takeaway box of it such a lovely touch! We will be back and probably try out the breakfast menu.
