Disappointed scrambled eggs were on the breakfast menu but could not order for lunch even though they have two chefs in the kitchen. I have highlighted this cafe as it may help some cyclist, whoever I think I would eat in Midhurst on my next ride out as there are lots of eateries.

South Pond, Midhurst

Highlight • Lake

South pond is a historic and scenic pond in Midhurst, West Sussex, England. It is fed by two streams that were once the boundaries of Saxon settlements, and it forms the division between the oldest part of Midhurst and West Lavington. The pond was created in the mid-1100s by one of the medieval lords of Midhurst, who dammed the streams to make a breeding pool for fish. The pond has been used for various purposes over the centuries, such as milling, fulling, leather production, and entertainment.
The pond is now a nature reserve and a popular spot for walking, fishing, and birdwatching. It is part of the South Downs National Park and has a rich biodiversity of plants and animals. The pond is also home to the South Pond Group, a voluntary community group that works to care for and improve the pond and its surroundings. The group organizes regular events, activities, and projects to engage the public and enhance the pond’s beauty and value.
