Tim Hortons to open a brand new restaurant on south coast - here's where

Tim Hortons is coming to Chichester in West Sussex, it has been announced.

It will be the closest site to Portsmouth – with people craving the Canadian chain’s famous doughnuts having to travel to London to get their fix currently.

The Chichester restaurant will also be the second spot on the south coast, following the opening of a Tim Hortons in Plymouth previously.

Located at Chichester Retail Park, Portfield Way, the new site is set to create up to 50 jobs for the local community, offering a combination of full-time and part-time roles with impressive progression and training opportunities.

The new restaurant will offer dine-in seating for up to 114 guests, as well as its renowned drive-thru service for those on-the-go. Delivery options will also be made available to those in the local area following the launch.

Customers can expect Canada’s favourite coffee, freshly baked donuts and Timbits, as well as delicious breakfast, lunch and evening meal options, including beef burgers, hot dogs, hot sandwiches and wraps.
