The Crate

The Crate in Bosham, Chichester is a quirky café and bar built from repurposed shipping containers, tucked into Broadbridge Business Centre with a backdrop of fields and the South Downs. Dogs are welcome inside as well as out, so the whole crew can settle in together for coffee, all-day breakfast or a proper lunch without anyone being left on the pavement.

The kitchen serves food Monday to Friday from 9am to 3pm, Saturdays until 3pm and Sundays until 2pm, with the café open a little longer each day for drinks and cake. It's a practical stop whether you're exploring the Bosham area, stretching legs around the village or simply passing through in need of a dog-friendly lunch spot. Friendly dogs are asked to stay on the lead, and there's covered, heated outdoor seating too when you'd rather be in the fresh air.

Bosham is one of those places where half the visitors have a dog in tow, so you're in good company at The Crate. The relaxed, community-minded vibe means nobody minds a muddy paw or two after a walk around the village.
