Drift-In Surf Cafe is a dog-friendly café in East Wittering, just outside Chichester, where dogs are welcome inside. Attached to a surf shop and close to the beach, it's a practical beachside stop for coffee, brunch or lunch with your dog settled at your feet.

The café serves food and drink throughout the day, with last orders around 15:30 on weekdays and Sunday and 16:00 on Saturday. The atmosphere is cosy and welcoming and the whole family—including the dog—can settle in together after a beach walk or before heading back to the sand.

Open Monday to Friday and Sunday 9am to 4pm and Saturday 9am to 5pm, Drift-In is a useful base for anyone combining a coastal day out with a proper sit-down meal. No fuss, just good coffee and the freedom to keep everyone together.
