The Landing - Chichester

There’s a quietly charming rhythm to mornings at The Landing, nestled just a short stroll from West Wittering’s sandy stretch. This unassuming coffee shop at Pound House feels like a comforting pause—where the pace softens, and the gentle sea breeze mingles with the aroma of fresh coffee and baked goods. Its proximity to the beach invites a steady ebb of locals and visitors who come for a warm welcome and something thoughtfully prepared.

Inside, the atmosphere is intimate and relaxed, framed by simple yet inviting décor that hints at a subtle creativity in its touches of artwork and design. The casual hum of friendly conversations blends effortlessly with the clinks of cups and soft background sounds, creating a space that feels both alive and restful. It’s the sort of place where people ease into their seats, perhaps stretching out after a walk or gearing up for a day under the sun.

The experience here is quietly rooted in freshness and care. Whether it’s the rich, expertly poured coffee, or a just-out-of-the-oven almond croissant warming up on your plate, there’s a palpable sense that each bite and sip is made with genuine attention. Light bites feel both familiar and thoughtfully curated—comforting sandwiches, seasonal quiches, and an ever-tempting selection of sweet treats coax a slower pace and attentive moments at the table. The menu feels like a mirror to the local landscape—simple, nourishing, and just a little bit special.

Drawing a local crowd who appreciate its unpretentious vibe, The Landing is a place that invites you to linger, watch the world go by, and savor small, grounded joys. Its friendly staff adds to this welcoming calm, making you feel seen and looked after whether you’re popping in for a quick coffee or settling in for a quiet midday respite before heading back to the coast.
