Reviews For Hotham Park Cafe

It's a cafe in a park. The food was OK. But that is just my opinion, people's tastes are different. Very busy. The staff were good. Lovely if you eat first then walk it off going around the lovely park which has plenty to see and a good play area for kids. You can eat in or outside.

Had seen plenty of good reviews of the cafe in the park - decided it was our lunch venue with the family on a reasonably nice day. Inside was packed but thankfully got a space outside. Again, queue was pretty long, but actually got served fairly quickly, and food turned up not too long after that. Everyone liked the food they had - and it was far better than I probably would have expected. The only downside to our visit, and this is no fault of the cafe, was the people who seemed to be unable to control their dogs when not on a lead - at one point we had a small dog under our table, which initiated a bit of a shriek from our daughter (always fearful since a dog stole her sausage roll a couple if years back!)

Lovely place in beautiful setting. Thought the food was on the expensive side but when we received and tasted it, it was worth the extra expense. Clean throughout and staff great.

Had a nice salmon avocado and eggs on sourdough toast. It was a very nice meal with good portions of salmon and avocado. The cafe itself is situated in the middle of the park with plenty of seating indoors and out. It also had parasols to allow those wishing to avoid the beating heat of the sun's rays an escape. I would recommend this cafe and would like to try the full English next time after seeing it on other tables

Spur of the moment dinner with the family was amaazing! We had eaten here before and thought it was good, but today was superb! Aubergine parmigiana was cooked so the aubergine was deliciously melty, portion huge! Oh had fish and chips and loved it, the batter was really crisp all the way through. Little one had pesto chicken which was very tasty and perfectly cooked too. So often the kids meals come up short, but not here. Friendly and helpful service too

Hotham Park Cafe is a beautiful cafe with a wide range of food and drinks. Food is fresh, homemade, and you pay for what you get. We come every year when we come to Butlins. The cafe has inside and outside seating. Very clean and pletty of space. We had to wait a bit longer due to being busy. The food never disappoints, fresh, tasty, and filling. Staff is always very friendly and always has a lovely atmosphere when we have been there. I had never been to a place where the toilets were so clean. Disabled access for outside and inside. Great place to meet up and socialise. The park in it's self is beautiful and pletty to do. Every town should have a park like this and definitely a cafe like this.

Discovered this little gem of a park cafe on our first visit to Bognor on our way to visiting our son who had just moved there. Coffee was excellent and we shared a gorgeous slice of chocolate orange cake. Very nice place offering a good selection of cakes, sandwiches and think hot food too. Definitely will be stopping off here again on our next visit.

Popular restaurant in a great park. Not cheap, but the food was tasty and well made using high quality ingredients. The fat chips were amazing! The service was efficient and friendly. Be prepared to wait for your food when busy, but ours was delivered quicker than we’re were led to expect. So much better than most park cafes.
