About The Orange Tree

The Orange Tree is a distinctive café-bar on Sea Lane in the village of Ferring — a short walk from the seafront and surrounded by some of the quietest, prettiest countryside on the West Sussex coast. It’s the kind of place that does several things at once and does all of them well: a full café open from 9:30am, a bar serving from midday, a loft gallery upstairs showcasing local art and craft, and regular food trucks in the evenings.

The setup is genuinely original — food ordered at a hatch from the kitchen, drinks from the bar inside, everything to eat at your own pace. There’s outdoor seating, live music nights, a Thursday quiz, gluten-free options throughout the menu, and free parking right outside. It’s a relaxed, unhurried space that draws people from across Ferring and Goring, and the welcome is warm whether you’ve come for coffee, a pint, or an evening out.

Rated 4.5 on Google from 270+ reviews, The Orange Tree has quietly become one of the best spots on this stretch of coast. Dog-friendly, family-friendly, and with enough going on any given evening to make it worth the trip in itself — our van just adds to it on the 1st Friday of the month.
