The Crate Bosham is a warm, welcoming place to meet up with friends or family for breakfast, second breakfast, brunch, or dinner. I hear they have a bar and live music in the evenings. I visited during the day and I was impressed by the outstanding menu options. Being vegan and from the U.S., vegan options can be few and far between. However, I was so pleased to see an entire menu full of vegan options! For brunch, I ordered a vegan salad bowl which came with sweet potatoes, grilled veggies, falafel, and hummus over a bed of micro greens. My son enjoyed a chocolate croissant and my daughter, a breakfast wrap.

First time here so wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Well what an eye opener! Sat in a shack in a field with rusting corrugated roofing with overhead 1 bar heating from the 1960s. The toilets albeit perfectly functional reminded me of a Boy Scouts Field Loo, even the sinks to wash your hands were improvised horse troughs. The whole ambience was/is totally unique, I was totally taken with the place, absolutely fascinated, such a wonderful experience. Now to the food, there was 6 of us including 2 kids. We all had variations of breakfast food stuffs. The kids are well catered for with smaller cooked breakfast portions or fruits, Nutella, cereal etc. Us adults all had a cooked breakfast in various guises as you can basically build your own item(s) stack in a sarnie, bagel, baguette, wrap, panini, bap, roll, etc you get the picture. I had what I can only describe as the best breakfast baguette ever!! A large fresher than fresh baguette full with Treagust sausages, really thick cut back bacon rashers and a fried egg, it was cooked to perfection and was extremely high quality produce and truly very satisfying. We all had hot coffees and the kids had smoothies. The only drawback was the Coffees could have been hotter especially the latte’s. All in all I loved the place and the food is delightful at sensible prices; 60 for 6 breakies and drinks. I will be back. Oh sorry! the staff are wonderful and very hard working.

What a fantastic place. Great coffee great comfort food, freshly cooked. And most of all , "GREAT STAFF ". Much respect. Chef Nev

Spotted on maps when searching for a spot for a quick breakfast to begin a long journey, and it didn't disappoint. Food was lovely, I was simply after a bacon sandwich, which I couldn't directly see on the menu, but when ordering I asked for one and they added it to my order without any fuss. I also ordered a hot chocolate. Both were lovely, and the bacon was cooked fresh especially for my order. Overall a lovely little spot for breakfast, with a nice rustic vibe and delicious, reasonably priced, food. Would visit again.

The crate is lovely, great location and the Coffee and food was amazing. There a what’s on board too with lots of activities going on. They do Pizzas, have a bar too. The Team were friendly and professional

I had coffees and a breakfast wrap at The Crate and found the staff to be friendly, efficient and helpful. The coffee was great and the wrap was excellent, packed with top notch stuff. A serviette is definitely required, however. The surroundings are eclectic with some seats having views across a horse paddock, the food and drink supplied in takeaway containers, so the experience is nearer the rustic end of the silver-service/picnic continuum. Thoroughly enjoyable and spent three hours there in a flash. Parking is free, too.

First time to The Crate after a chilly dog walk nearby for 5 of us and one dog. The Crate is very dog friendly with water and biscuits free on-hand. There is quite a limited menu but options for most people including vegetarian and vegan options. The food was amazing, all of our asks were catered for perfectly, such as crispy bacon, one of the eggs being cooked slightly more etc. A great range of hot drinks and extras like syrups and powders for the top. Aside from the drink and food, the place is also extremely clean and well presented with a great feel about it and the staff were all very friendly and run the place very well. All in all a fantastic place!! Well done everyone at The Crate!!

Simply splendid! If comfort had a postcode, it would undoubtedly drop a pin at The Crate Bosham. This gem of a coffee spot effortlessly blends quality, atmosphere, and flavour, making every visit feel like a well-earned indulgence. The Cajun chicken bagel was a masterclass in balance, the perfect hit of spice mellowed by creamy smashed avocado, with onions and peppers adding just the right amount of bite. Every bite was packed with bold, fresh flavours, proving that bagels aren’t just for breakfast; they’re for moments of pure satisfaction. Then came the sweet waffles, and let’s just say, they didn’t disappoint. Light, fluffy, and indulgent without being cloying, the kind of treat that makes you pause mid-bite just to appreciate it properly. To wash it all down, I ordered a classic breakfast tea for comfort and a fragrant Earl Grey for that extra touch of sophistication. Whether you’re after a pick-me-up or a moment to unwind, The Crate Bosham has got it covered. Expect to leave feeling well-fed, well-caffeinated, and slightly smug for finding such a cracking spot. Highly recommended! Just be prepared for the inevitable “Where did you get that?” when people see your story on the gram.
