Wonderful little cafe just next to West Worthing Station ( Tarring Road ) friendly service and a lovely outside seating area. Food cooked fresh to order using quality produce. My favourite is the coronation chicken salad but also know to have a breakfast. Door friendly in garden which has a covered area

A very friendly local cafe for breakfast or lunch with great freshly cooked food. It's always a treat to pop into Elaine's for breakfast. Outdoor seating available for warm days.

Lovely Elaine cooks the best brekkie to order, with delicious local bacon and sausages. Awesome value for money too at £8 for full English including coffee, tea or juice. Such a welcoming lady. Indoor and outdoor dining. Note ‘Cash Only’.

Authentic British Breakfast served with a smile. Best sausage in miles! This gem, right next to West Worthing Station, is well worth a visit. Cash only, which you can get from the Co-Op on the other side of the railway crossing. Highly recommend.
