The Waterside, Arundel is a family-run Tea Garden and Bistro located on the banks of the River Arun, overlooked by historic Arundel Castle, home to the Duke of Norfolk and his family.
Sam and Gillian Walker have recently undertaken the refurbishment of this unique venue and look forward to welcoming you in the near future.
Take a leisurely break and enjoy traditional cream teas with home-made cakes and scones while enjoying stunning views of the River Arun and Arundel Castle.
The castle has served as a hereditary stately home and has been in the family of the Duke of Norfolk for over 400 years.
The River Arun flows through Arundel and past the castle, and flows into the English Channel at Littlehampton and is one of the faster flowing rivers in England.

Locally Sourced Fresh Food
