I am sitting here in the sunshine at the little café by the Norfolk Gardens tennis courts, the sunlight is reflecting off the table and if I look across the adventure golf park I can see a bright blue sky through the palm trees and almost hear Harry Belafonte singing. Ok, that may be a bit of a stretch but you get the point. There has been a remarkable change to this little café close to Littlehampton’s pitch and putt course. The plastic furniture is still there inside and it still looks a bit like a works canteen but that is already beginning to change with the addition of some delightful wood furniture, paintings on canvas and a whole fresh attitude to customers. I suspect most of this has been brought about by the new manager, Ellen Sutton, whose partner is responsible for the woodwork and she for the friendly front of house atmosphere. It is hoped that the café will become part of the local community with quiz nights and children’s parties as well as a display space for local artists and photographers. A full English from 9.00 to 12.30 with real snorkers, not your sawdust filled catering sausages used by many commercial outlets. Too late for breakfast? Then enjoy a lunchtime snack or a home-made cake served with fine Edgcumbes coffee. Well behaved dogs are welcomed as are children and muddy golfers. This ADC facility operated by ISS, – unfortunate initials – should have a name and a sign: The Putting Green Café, would do nicely.
