Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

8 Aug 2026

The Crate is a cheerful harbour-side café in Bosham where dogs are welcome inside, so the whole crew can settle in together for coffee, breakfast or a proper meal. 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 Chichester Harbour shoreline, stretching your legs around the village or simply passing through and in need of a dog-friendly lunch spot. Friendly dogs are asked to stay on the lead and there's seating outside as well when the weather plays along.

Bosham is one of those places where half the visitors have a dog in tow, so you're in good company. The Crate keeps things relaxed and welcoming and it's the sort of café where no one minds a sandy paw or two after a harbour walk.
