Southsea Beach Cafe is the stunning new cafe located right on Southsea beach, just down from South Parade Pier, which for the last couple of weeks has been running a soft launch, with their breakfasts, lunches, coffees and more sold to the crowd who have discovered this new culinary asset to the city by word of mouth. The soft launch allows the kitchen and front of house staff to refine their menu and service ready for the full opening of the cafe…which happened this past weekend!
Strong Island Media have been working closely with the Southsea Beach Cafe team and Sarah Jones on the visual experience of the new cafe. The cafe logo and the branding from social media to signage through to the menus has been designed by Tristan at Strong Island Media and we have been really pleased to work on a local project such as this. On Thursday there was a special party at the cafe to launch this exciting new business and we popped along to help celebrate. Southsea Beach Cafe is now fully open and a must-visit spot in Southsea with beautiful views over the beach and sea.

How do you get invited to the opening party – missed out on that.
Lovely as SBC is the waiting is really bad. Too many staff doing too many things but not getting anything done.
I have been twice – waited 40mins for drinks and over an hour for food the first time and then 15 mins for drinks and well over I hour for food as we couldn’t put in an order between breakfast and lunch, lunch starts at 12 and the we were then told they were running 20 mins late. Think I will wait until winter to try again

Went with my husband and daughter for lunch on Friday. As instructed we waited to be seated at the same time my husband and myself turned to our daughter and asked if we were invisible. All it would have taken would have been a smile an acknowledgement that we were there and a “be with you in a moment” . Neither were forthcoming so we left and went to the tenth hole were we were greeted straight away and table found for us. There were tables empty at the beach cafe! I live locally and am keen to support local businesses but I don’t thnk this is the right way to treat customers
