Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

As always, a little gem. Great food and well served. The burger was delicious and my wife’s fish cakes were huge. Would thoroughly recommend.

Had a lovely veggie breakfast here. Neat cafe in three parts: a pavement area; a half-outside corridor; and a cosy inner room in front of a bar. I sat in the inner room. Fairly busy, not packed; plenty of staff on, so service was on...the ball. My eggs were mainly runny, if a little hardened underneath. The breakfast was served hot, a big plus with me. Even the mushrooms, which are kept lukewarm in most cafes. Highlight was the sauteed halves of new potatoes, skin on. Also a good veggie sausage. With grilled tomatoes, toast, beans. Tea was hot and made with fresh water, though tea bag was left in, not ideal. This is a very good cafe.More

Decided I'd head to Chichester for a breakfast, searched some cafes & read good reviews about Charlie Harper's, so I headed there. Certainly was not disappointed, staff couldn't be more polite or helpful and the breakfast, named Charlie's big breakfast lived up to its billing....All cooked perfectly and hit the spot. Great place to watch the world go by, I'll certainly be back!! Keep up the great work 👍More

Been a number of times. Food mostly good. Last visit the service was very slow. Do wonder how often the toilets get cleaned - several visits over 2-3 months and there is still the same dirty rings around the hand basin.More

Great little hide away spot. Small and intimate very local. We went for breakfast and had Eggs Benedict. The eggs Benedict was very good perfect poached eggs. We were told the place occupied what used to be a pool.

Great food (as always!). I had gluten free eggs royale. I really liked the fact the hollandaise sauce came in a jug so I could choose how much to put on. Friendly, helpful staff.

Great food, very hard working people doing what it takes to give you great food, friendly attentive service... and all without a big corporation making plastic food in Miltion Keynes that can hang about a week before being microwaved to go on your plate. What...you spend here stays in the local area. Don't let the big chains destroy our local businesses.More

During our cycle ride we stopped at Charlie Harpers for our breakfast. We sat outside and a waitress arrived pretty quick and took our drinks ordered and advised of a 25 minutes wait for food. When she arrived with the drinks we ordered 2 All...Day Breakfasts. The food arrived sooner than advised and was very good. All in all, a good place to have breakfast.More
