The 50 best restaurants to have dinner in Chichester

One of those places I’ve spent years driving past and finally decided to go in and glad I did. In a classic old pub converted so it’s a little rough around the edges but the food and staff made up for it. Went for the Goat Curry special and was cracking. The Vegan Mrs enjoyed her Dal curry. Cheesy garlic naan was indeed cheesy. Decent place with nice food, they got us in without a booking and there is plenty of parking space.

Unreal wonderful food and experience. We’re from Texas and visiting family in the area and they took us to Thyme & Chillies. Lawrence is a spectacularly friendly person and went above and beyond for us. Tuesday is dosa night, it was just lovely. We had multiple chicken & lamb dishes. The lamb was amazingly tender. Watching the dosa being made was very fun and educational. The coconut chutney with the dosa is one of my favorite foods I’ve ever eaten. It was such a good experience all around. Excellent food, drinks, service, people. Highly highly recommend.

The restaurant is located along a quiet countryside but easy enough to find with any sat nav. Tuesday is Indian street food day though not my personal favourite they are well received by others. The restaurant can feel a bit crowded and it's always busy/full, not the cheapest place but definitely a popular one.

We stayed nearby and went twice for take-out. The place looks nice and easy to reach from the road. I've eaten a lot of Indian food all over the world, but I can honestly say this has been the best I had! A totally different menu then I'm used to (which is good!), all the food is amazing and extremely tasteful. We were on holiday from The Netherlands, so I'm gonna miss this place :-) When in this area: eat at Thyme & Chillies! @Thyme, thanks for the free beer during waiting, much appreciated! Good luck with the business!

Wow! This is what I call real Indian food! It is one of the best Indian restaurants I've ever been to. We are visitors to this town, and it was worth the long travel. Every single dish tasted so rich and well made with diverse flavours. They made my mum's birthday extra special, and she really enjoyed her chocolate cake at the end. THANK YOU! The staff were so hospitable and welcoming. Before going, I tried book the table over the phone, but the connection was bad. The staff made sure to keep calling me back to book and secure our table, which was so nice of them as they are a very busy restaurant. Me family had a wonderful experience.

Well worth a visit. Somewhere we had lived relatively locally to but never gone. Decided first visit we would go there for husbands birthday meal. For a weekday it was busy so worth booking in advance! Service was amazing, staff are attentive but not overly cloyingly attentive (which is nice). The Indian street food was an excellent touch and also worth trying! Really reasonably priced and didn’t make you feel rushed at all. Definitely on the list for a re-visit! Plenty of parking. It is in a converted pub so quirky layout but it actually works. Would recommend to anyone to visit for anyone that was in two minds about whether to go or not.

We drive past the restaurant this evening and were immediately drawn in by the beautiful venue. On our way back, we decided to give it a try. Despite how busy it was, the team found us a table within about 10 minutes. While we waited, the staff looked after us with drinks, and that same outstanding service continued throughout the night. The food was equally impressive. The chicken starters were exceptional, as was the naan bread and the lamb shank was absolutely stunning. My partner ordered a korma and said it was the best she’s ever had—and after trying it myself, I had to agree. Perfectly cooked and full of flavour. All in all, we had an amazing evening. Highly recommend this place, and we’ll definitely be visiting again!

Food is absolutely incredible, one of our absolute favourite places to eat. Staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and give you the best possible experience (one literally dashed out to get more frozen strawberries because they had run out and I had been drinking strawberry daiquiris) Cannot recommend enough.

Nice meal at Rein Kitchen. The food was deliciously authentic and the staff were very friendly. Only slight downside were the drinks ; my eldest daughter ordered a Turkish yoghurt and she quotes ‘it tastes like salty milk!’ My younger daughter ordered a fruit juice, it was a mix of all sorts of sweeteners with no actual juice. The atmosphere of the restaurant was relatively warm, if not a bit quiet for a normal lunchtime. Will recommend to friends though.

Delicious food, cute Turkish waiter ! Highly recommended, will come again.

Despite the restaurant being almost empty, we felt really rushed by the over attentive waiters. The shared hot mezzi starter was very good. When the main course arrived, the meat was very good, but sadly the salads had clearly been prepared well in advance and had started to discolour and curl at the edges .

Went there for an 8pm booking. Was told the table wasn’t ready as the people before us didn’t want to leave (a lie), and that someone would be able to give us some drinks whilst we wait (another lie). At 8.15, still no drink order, and no one looking like leaving there table any time soon. Finally someone took our drink order at 20 past. By half 8, no drinks, no one looking like leaving, so asked the manageress again where the table would be. She shrugged and didn’t know what to say. So overall not great at all

Hands down one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. We visited for my partners 30th birthday and were the only people in the restaurant, yet the waiter ignored us and sat on his phone instead of serving customers. We had to flag him down just to get drinks, and when the food finally arrived, it was wrong. Nobody checked if it was okay, and when we raised how bad the experience was, the manager clearly didn’t care. To make it even worse, they didn’t even want to remove the service charge — despite the fact there was absolutely no service to speak of. If this is how they treat the only table in the place, I can’t imagine how dreadful it would be if they were actually busy. Total waste of time and money.

We recently ordered a large takeaway for a birthday celebration, about which I spoke to the manager in advance. He was extremely friendly, flexible and professional, and, on the day, the food was ready on time, beautifully fresh and incredibly tasty – everyone in our party thought so too! We were very grateful to Hamdi and his team for helping us make the evening special, and will definitely be back for more of Reina Kitchen's delicious food soon. To finish it all off, the baklava was absolutely fantastic! Thank you :-)

Absolutely Exceptional – A Culinary Gem! Everything about this restaurant is top-tier. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the service attentive without being intrusive, and the food - simply unforgettable. Every course was beautifully plated and delicious, but the beef Wellington alone is worth a special trip. If you’re looking for a standout dining experience, look no further. This place is a must-visit.

I have never had a meal here that feel even slightly short of excellent. The service is attentive without being pushy or overbearing and the food is a delight. The three course is excellent value and doesn’t scrimp on size, taste or ingredients. The A la Carte menu is incredible, I’ve had the best pace of beef that I’ve ever eaten in my life here.

We stayed 2 nights here at the end of a family holiday & it was lovely! Food fab, great cocktails & we especially enjoyed the Wednesday Fish menu which was superb! The top floor room was great but be aware there’s no lift up the three floors. Room had everything we needed & was very comfortable & very clean. Location is right in middle of town with access to lots of shops & restaurants. Staff greeted us warmly & were professional but friendly.

I had an exceptional dinner at The Purchases earlier this week. After a long, draining day, I walked in running on fumes—but was treated with warmth, professionalism, and just the right amount of indulgence. The service made me feel like a valued guest—if not quite royalty, then at least someone worth slowing down for. The Food? Immaculate. The Atmosphere? Spot on. I even left my coat in the cloakroom and came back the next day to collect it with zero hassle. Classy from start to finish.

Arrived here after a long trip on the train from London with a tired dog and a hungry belly. Trinity and Charlotte were absolutely fantastic. They found me a fantastic spot for my tired dog, brought him water and me an espresso martini!!! I enjoyed the three course meal and the food is excellent quality. Charlotte is impeccably attentive of all of the customers and is a huge asset. I am so grateful to have found such an amazing oasis of calm and class in Chichester

Haven’t been back here since covid and it was surprisingly good. Set lunch is very good value as well. We had soup and salmon for starters, and chicken and trout for main courses. All were very tasty. Staff were attentive and more than helpful. Great to see local business doing well. Keep it up!

I always used to recommend Purchases to friends and family, as it was always a delight. Shame it takes one event/occasion for it to be spoiled. It seems like they should carry on focusing on the food & drink instead of creating events within the restaurant. I understand in this current climate you’ve got to do anything within your means to get a bit of extra cash but it then should be managed properly. I got tickets for the summer BBQ event in July, it was very poorly managed and our table of 8 had to be sat inside even though this was advertised as an outdoor event and we had already pre booked tickets for. Us and one smaller table of 4/5 were the only ones who were inside, yet we didn’t even get an apology on the day. I’ve since spoken to them via email and they are just out there for themselves and couldn’t care less about loyalty. I’ve had the typical ‘sorry you feel that way’ email which is disrespectful in itself. Everyone else was sat outside in the sun enjoying the ambience and music yet all we could see was the back of a DJ’s head and later on in the day the back of a violinist. They didn’t do anything to put this right, we were the ones who had to reach out 30mins before the end to see if we could now move outside as a table had freed up. I’m just really disappointed in the restaurant as I thought better of it.

I've not been in this pub in years, but glad it's re-opened. I popped in and had a pint and found the decor pleasant as was the service. I will go back for dinner soon. The London Pride beer was a little off, perhaps old? But still enjoyable.

The pub is under new management, and being refurbished, so i visited before the official relaunch. It is tastefully decorated, with a nice outside terrace. The staff were friendly, the food is good and reasonably priced, and they had a guest real ale. It is a permit parking street, but there is a council car park nearby.

We had roast dinner today. The beef, chicken and gammon were excellent. The kale was just right. The potatoes and parsnips were a little overcooked, the carrots too! Yorkshire pudding huge, gravy was yum. Eton mess was nice. Drinks good. Service good. Mens toilet needed attention.

Popped in for a spot of lunch as we heard it now has new owners. I feel sorry for the hospitality industry over the last couple of years as they have been hit very hard by the total greed and mismanagement of government. It must be a really tough business to be in... That all said, the new owners are off to a fantastic start with some amazing food and great prices! Highly recommend you pop in and give it a go! 😋

New management.. avoid!! Booking system doesn’t even work . we turned up and no booking system in place .. no idea who I was or what my booking was.. got put in the bar.. awful table near the door. Along with another un satisfied table. Obviously I’m not going to be too happy but when we tried to say anything we got cut down and aggressively told we can leave if we don’t like it. Manager is now a 17 year old looking guy old who is not interested or experienced in managing customer relations.. just immature and back chatty. Such a waste of what use to be a great pub!!

Review is for the food and drinks: the pub is bright and has a nice atmosphere for dining. There's a reasonable range of drinks on tap. I tried the nut roast - the menu states that all other roasts are served with yorshire puddings, but the nut roast isn't as they're not vegan. When the food was brought to the table there was a yorkshire pudding on the plate so I asked the server and she said it was vegan. I then asked another member of staff who checked with the chef and confirmed that it was not suitable for vegans. The server who said it was vegan did not bother to apologise. The roasted vegetables were slightly under cooked too so I wouldn't eat here again.

Great service and pub food! We had plenty of Gluten Free Options to choose from including battered fish and chips! The service from Jerry was exceptional! Would highly recommend.

Had dinner here and was very happy with everything. I had the prawns and the lamb and garlic bread with cheese. Everything was delicious and the staff couldn’t be more helpful and friendly. It’s a real hidden gem and worth a visit.

Great Spanish experience, with quality Tapas, lovely staff, even practising a little Spanish with the lovely lady from the Canaries who served us to make the entire experience extremely pleasant.. Nice atmosphere in the cellar and will be coming back again

What a find. It's slightly hidden away off the main street, but if you drive in beside the blue building, there is parking, and you are right at the door. They have a lovely outdoor dining area, too. The staff are very friendly, attentive and deliver great service. The food is amazing, so fresh and great quality ingredients. I ordered from the tapas menu, and I enjoyed everything. I would highly recommend getting the garlic bread with cheese with the gambas pil pil. The sauce is the best I've even had, and I couldn't stop dipping my garlic bread into the sauce 😋. The gambas palomitas was the highlight. Everything was delicious. I can't wait to go back and try some other dishes. The place is beautifully decorated and great for a group or romantic meal. A hidden gem you have to try.

Lovely atmosphere, yummy food, good portion sizes, great service. Perfect place to go for date night, or with family. Didn't have a dessert but had a Chocolate Martini and I recommend trying it as it was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to visit again.

We were blown away by the quality, presentation and taste of the food. The table service was excellent and the décor made us feel like we were on holiday, especially since we sat outside on a sunny day. It’s less busy early on a weekend evening, so you’ll have a lovely quiet dinner.

What a find. Incredible food and what a beautiful restaurant! With it being underground it is so unique. The service was incredible and it really was such a lovely dining experience. Won’t hesitate to go back and will definitely be recommending to family and friends.

Went here for a celebration meal and it was superb. Everything was so tasty! Great drinks and lovely staff!

Really good location in the centre of Chichester North Street. I had the traditional breakfast, which was well cooked with proper butcher sausage. Price was very reasonable for the location and quality of the food.

Excellent place to eat in Chichester. It was recommended to me and overall didn't disappoint. I had the share platter with dip, chorizo, bread, dumplings, pickles etc. Very filling and tasty. I then had the Bills flowerpot dessert but found it a bit disappointing. It looks great, but there was too much chocolate soil which tasted like Oreo cookies so not what I was expecting. The filling hardly tasted of passionfruit to me and in the end I could only eat about half the dessert. Glass of wine was good and service was friendly and attentive.

Went for dessert withy family, served by Elysia. Gave excellent recommendations and was prepared to have a laugh. Would recommend. Also they take blue light card 20% off.

We went to this restaurant with our friends this morning It was one of the best restaurant in the UK The food quality the service was perfect There was a lady called ANA and she was so kind and welcoming, and provided the best service But the scones was not as good as the food was. I strongly recommend this place 😋

Came for desserts this evening. Staff were lovely and food was fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Service was 10/10 could not fault it one bit starters were out with in literally one minute and drinks staff so friendly and food was all delicious 10/10 to the chef highly recommend, beautiful stunning food service the lot xx

Our server (maryam) came quickly and took our orders. Our friend had a nut allergy and they handled the situation perfectly and asked many questions to ensure that she has alternative options. We had the £5 bottomless pancakes and they was lovely. 100% will come back again had a great experience!!

A lovely restaurant with great choices from the menu. Food is priced accordingly to the quality you get. Staff are very friendly and the location suits both large groups and couples

Completed a perfect day. Steak tartare was deliciously (started eating before photographed!), as was the barbecued meat with freshly prepared salads (didn't photograph as we were too eager to attack our plates)! The rhubarb, hibiscus and gin parfait with lemon sorbet was the best dessert I have had in a long time. We chanced upon this restaurant after a day at Goodwoof and so pleased we did. Thank you for making us and our two dogs so welcome.

Another fabulous meal at Farmer, Butcher, Chef. Our first time for an evening meal, and for a special birthday occasion. Lots of special little touches, and oh the cheese selection is stupendous, with a little bit of theatre.

I am so pleased that we chose to eat at Farmer Butcher Chef. We went there 1 year ago and it was great, but today was outstanding and was told that Ollie is now the top chef. We have eaten in some top places worldwide and we found the food to exceptional. All the food was perfectly seasoned and cooked with thought and passion. All the staff were absolutely lovely and the ambience was relaxing. I would totally recommend this restaurant.

As it was a beautiful day opted to sit in the outdoor terrace, thinking it was an award winning restaurant would have expected the seating to be more comfortable and luxurious. Small metal folding chairs with large cushions that spent more time on the floor rather than behind us. Food very tasty flavoursome and well presented we were a table of 4. Opted for the upgrade to butchers blocks highly recommended the beef, lamb and pork were amazingly presented and all very succulent and cooked to perfection. Service was a little slow considering the few people with some confusion over tables. Ordered water sparkling and tap never offered ice or wedges of lemon / lime had to request. I would go back for the food and would hope the seating and service would improve.

I have been to this restaurant so many times and never realised I had not done a review. I think the fact that I have been so many times over many years tells you it's own story. The food is fantastic there is also a great selection of wines and they also make some fab cocktails. The staff are brilliant and so friendly they are there when you need them but do not fuss around you which makes for a perfect balance all set in a lovely restaurant. Totally recommend especially if your a meat lover. See you soon.

Terrible experience at lunch today. Service was poor, the staff were more interested in talking to each other and hiding out of the way of guests. The food was terrible. We paid a supplement for the BBQ board of beef, lamb and pork and I wish I’d thought to take a photo. It was laughable. 3 tiny dry bits of meat were served on a saucer sized metal plate and should have served 2 people. The sides were also terrible, a poor cold potato salad, a dish of pickled cabbage and a few tomato’s. Lazy staff and poor quality food. Needless to say they have lost our cusrom and we won’t go back.

This is a gem of a place. Beautiful pub and lovely setting with a great choice of fresh seafood and plenty of outdoor seating. Service was good and we had a lovely lunch here. Gets v busy though- got here just before 12 noon on a Sunday and the car park was full! There’s parking down the road though. Would definitely visit again.

Had an incredible meal at The Crown & Anchor a few weeks ago – one of the best pub dining experiences I’ve had. The surf & turf was absolutely spot on. The steak was perfect, juicy, and flavourful while the prawns on top were super fresh. Served alongside crisp broccolini and a rich, savory sauce that tied everything together. The atmosphere in the pub was warm and inviting, with great service to match. Ideal spot for a cozy dinner or a special meal out with friends. Highly recommended – will definitely be back!

A recommendation from a relative who used to frequent, and it did not disappoint! We had a fantastic table situated next to the kitchen, with a lovely backdrop. The service was excellent, and the food even better! I would highly recommend the Devon crab linguine. We will definitely return in the future.

Wow - what a gem! Perfect location with stunning views. Outdoor seating area with excellent food and drink options. We booked a table for 10 people and sat inside - the service was exceptional. Food incredible! Oysters, fresh fish hake, lemon sole, black bream haddock and chips, grilled prawns - all cooked to perfection! Expensive for a family lunch, but well worth it as it was a beautiful place to celebrate in style! Thank you ❤️

Went in for a recommendation for Saturday evening meal .pouring with rain so it was busy .staff were very pleasant and sat us at our table quickly. Great looking pub/restaurant good choice of food and drink .took a while for starters to arrive and pavlova which had took much icing sugar and took a few mins to break as it was very hard are the only reason it's not a 5star review.will definitely go back .

A fantastic setting for a delicious meal. Our waitress was lovely and coped with all our questions and needs with a lovely smile. Had coffee seated outside on a sunny September afternoon.

A fabulous pub serving a great range of seafood and a vast array of gluten free options. We had a portion of fish and chips, 2 dressed crabs, 2 sides of chips and 2 sides of samphire. We also had a medium wine, pint of beer and half a cider. Cost with a tip was £100. Everything was delicious a d freshly cooked/prepared. Service was friendly and efficient. Great value and highly recommended.

After visiting Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons last year we thought we would give Brasserie Blanc a try. We were impressed, great lunchtime menu, attentive staff and special offers too - in our case free wine ! Very good on gluten free requirements - chef came to check with me on some of the ingredients.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Chichester branch for an anniversary dinner, we had a Virgin Experience voucher, and I must say, it was an incredible evening! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome from the friendly and attentive staff, making us feel right at home. Even though we had a set menu, there was still plenty of choice, and each dish was absolutely sensational. The flavors were delightful, and it was clear that a lot of thought and care went into each plate. A huge thank you to the entire kitchen team and the front-of-house staff for providing such a fabulous experience. I can't wait to return and enjoy another wonderful meal!

Quite nice food, the menu has options that I think will appeal to many people. The service was fine. It was very quiet when we visited at 7pm on a Week day. They do quite good offers so worth signing up

Was here around seven weeks ago and had a good experience however not so this time. The brasserie was not busy yet the two serving staff seemed to struggle. It was difficult to get their attention and service was slow, very slow. When staff were at the table, they were polite and friendly. We had drinks vouchers but the drinks on offer were not available, we were offered house wine instead. Not quite the same. Four of our party of six chose main courses on the menu that had alternatives. Pine nut & lemon ricotta ravioli was replaced with aubergine. The rhubarb crumble dessert was served with a thimbleful of custard. Given the price of the food and drinks, Brasserie Blanc needs to do much better!

We were extremely well looked after by your welcoming staff. The food was delicious and very well presented. The wine was delightful and well chilled. We will be recommending Brasserie Blanc to all our friends and family.

We booked a table here as we were going to Chichester and a friend recommended it. to be honest the food was pretty disappointing, almost poor. It wasn't absolutely terrible but it was quite expensive so they should have been able to produce something better. for example I had the sea bream as a main and it was pretty uncooked on the skin side which should probably have been crispy but on the flesh side it was completely overcooked, burnt and all of the fish was like rubber really. my wife and I both had starters and main courses off the a la carte menu and it was all quite underwhelming. so we skipped dessert and the total bill was about £100. We normally go to the ivy down the road and it's not a lot more expensive so I guess we will be returning to the devil we know in future. also, this restaurant doesn't take cash and I'm always looking to offload some cash whereas The Ivy is happy to take any payment that is available.

I had a great time here, the Escargot was incredible, I will definitely be ordering that again!

Been to this place many many times over the last few years. Never had any issues really until my last. My usual order of pork belly came out looking as tasty as ever but as I started eating it under half way through I was disappointed to find that in fact most of it consisted of just fat and no meat. First time this has happened but the way my server dealt with it was disappointing to say the least She exclaimed that sometimes depending on the cut its fatty and nothing they can do about it. As bluntly as that. No offer of a new one or trying to resolving it to a satisfactory standard just a robotic ‘we can take 10% off’ and that I could order more food but will take a while to come out’ the 10% went back on the discretionary tip anyway that I wasn’t pedantic enough to request it being taken off.

Had the set menu: great value for the price and the food was good Everything was tasty and well presented, with a nice variety to choose from. The service was also very good, friendly, and efficient.

Went here for a quiet dinner with my wife. Food was amazing and service tip rate. The scallops starter was incredible, the rib eye top notch and their take on the creme brulee was really interesting. Great service and will always come back for another meal!

Really impressed with both the food and the service when visiting today. Despite it being very busy due to market day the team were friendly, attentive and helpful, Really outstanding! The food was also very good and particularly good value on the fixed price menu. Thank you all!

Visited recently with sister and nephews. Service was swift and efficient; very attentive without being intrusive. Young man serving us (didn’t get his name) was excellent, polite throughout and thorough. Many thanks to the team, will definitely be returning.

The food was incredible we shared 2 starters and had a main meal and it was amazing. The food made up for the issue regarding the forgotten drinks order. They did take this off the bill which was the right thing to do considering service charges are included

My first impression of the restaurant was very dispiriting. I could see 3 members of staff in formal/ business dress in an area adjacent to us having a meeting in full view of the lunchtime clientele, and the female member of the team was literally drinking out of a 1.5 litre San Pellegrino bottle. Not a great standard to set for the staff,nor a great impression to make on the guests.I raised the issue with the duty manager who identified her as " the top boss" and I asked that my concerns around the poor standard be relayed to her . The person concerned came over and said that she understood I was upset that she was drinking water out of a bottle; I wasn't upset at all, I was offended by sloppy manners and sloppy behaviour by in a restaurant that usually has excellent standards. She said she was just finishing her water- I suggested she use a water glass in a restaurant. Totally nonplussed she turned and walked away. Aside from that lunch was excellent.Our set menu of 2 courses was delicious and very good value,our waiting staff were all polite, attentive and efficient ( not just to my companion and me but to other tables nearby). A shame the visit started so dismally, but the staff and the food lifted the experience for us.

From entering this restaurant, no one came to welcome us to a seat bearing in mind the place wasn’t busy at all. My mum went up to the bar and asked if we may be seated at a table to which a lady showed us over. Considering the restaurant wasn’t busy, the service was shocking slow and our food requests and drink requests weren’t acknowledged. Two of my family members asked for additional toppings on their pizzas, to which these weren’t added. We asked for table water, to which this wasn’t given until we asked again. There wasn’t any attention to detail for example ‘would you like any salt or pepper or sauces or parmesan cheese etc’. There seemed a lack of any real direction it felt like some staff were all on a training day or they’d rather be at home. There wasn’t anyone taking a clear direction or lead on the 5 or so tables that were occupied. When the bill came over, we were charged for additional toppings that we didn’t receive. We told our original waitress about this and she went off, got distracted and started serving other tables? We then told another waitress, anyone would think she was volunteering and not being paid, there wasn’t any personable skills towards us? Eventually, they took these extra charges off the bill and we paid and left. Overall, the food was good and tasted fresh. The bar man seemed like the only efficient member of staff and the new strawberry drink tasted lovely. I wouldn’t come to this restaurant again due to the service recieved.

I've had the most lovely, relaxing lunch at ASK Italian. My server, Charlie, was incredibly accommodating of me being vegan and gluten-free, which I appreciate is an awkward combination. He was very helpful & did everything with a smile. I had the lentil ragu, which was hearty, and their new side of greens with a balsamic glaze. The sarti pink spritz was a free April perk that arrived in my emails and added to the holiday feeling, as I'm currently down for a short break.

Lovely meal for my sons 12th birtbday. The man behind bar (think his name was Leesun) put together some candles for my son and bought this out singing happy birthday with his pudding, this was very sweet. Food was lovely and came out nice and fast. A nice chilled environment to have dinner. I had a 30% discount with blue light which was handy and then was given another 10% off for it being my sons birthday! Will definitely come again 😃

We came to Ask Italian this evening as there were issues with our anniversary booking at The Ivy and they were not able to accommodate us. Thankfully Ask had a no show and were able to sit all 6 of us. The service from Layla was impeccable and although she was rushed off her feet all evening she made an effort with everyone and was so calm and gracious. Thank you for making our evening, we will definitely be back!

We came in at 12pm today for a nice Easter Sunday meal with my family! Food and service was 10/10, we will come back again!!!

My family and I went to ASK Italian for dinner on Tuesday. From our arrival until we left we were welcomed by a friendly and well mannered waiter who offered us complimentary shots of lemonade while we were choosing our food. Despite the restaurant being quite busy due to graduation ceremonies, our waiter was able to cope with the stress and provide excellent service. The food was delicious and when I ordered the Chocolate Falls dessert our waiter even poured the toffee sauce over the dessert for me. This was our first time going to this restaurant and we will definitely be going back!

Had a great experience at ASK Italian. The food was lovely, but what really stood out was the service. Our server Nathan was fantastic: friendly, attentive, and made us feel really welcome without being over the top. He added a personal touch that made the whole meal more enjoyable. Will definitely be back!

We are here on the spur of the moment for lunch and had a fantastic meal. Restaurant was bright and stylish and the food really lovely. I was not very familiar with Thai food but had the mixed starter platter which we thought might be expensive at nearly £10.00 per person but we were really pleased with this choice. Friendly staff helped us choose a main. My daughter had an amazing duck dish with lovely Jasmine rice. Now converted to Thai food in preference to Chinese and although we very rarely eat out I would return. Thank you for a lovely meal

Best Thai restaurant I have been to. Authentic food. Friendly and efficient staff and good value for money

This place is just wonderful! Not only were the staff friendly and attentive, but the restaurant was gorgeous, and the food was amazing! I had the thai green curry, which was probably the best I have ever had. The curry broth was so flavourful and really not too spicy. I chose prawn as my protein and got 9 perfectly cooked prawns. The veggies in the broth were cooked to perfection, especially the courgettes. I chose the sticky rice, which went so well with the dish. For starters, I chose the puffed tofu (tofu tord) - this was excellent; super crispy and flavourful with a gorgeous sauce. For dessert, I had the Thai pancake (Phuket Delight), which tasted insanely delicious. It was sweet and salty and fantastically sticky. It came with ice cream, which i didn't realise until afterwards as I ordered a scoop of pistachio ice cream on the side. The pistachio ice cream was fantastic. The staff were kind, patient, and attentive.

Really delicious authentic Thai food. Reasonably priced. Friendly staff. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options.

Its my first time here for Birthday dinner with family. Amazing food!! Great customer service . Thank you to all staff member specially "Sam" for playing guitar and sing a song to make my birthday special. Food so fresh and delicious. We will definitely be returning soon.

We had my sons birthday meal here a couple of weeks ago. Despite not mentioning it to the staff they must have overheard us talking about it and bought over a pudding with a candle in it singing Happy Birthday which was a lovely touch. The food was delicious and when we ordered too much of it they kindly boxed it up so we could take it home for the next day!

Welcomed by smiles all are round by the staff. Fast service and didn’t have to wait long for food either. Nice ambience and great deco. Food we ordered were good but the pad Thai noodles was quite sweet in my opinion. Too wet and on a salty side. No Thai dessert ie sticky rice mango or fried banana when we were there. Only ice cream. This place great for big event. Parking is just at the back of restaurant. Pub and other restaurants near by. Walking distance to high street.

Daria ! She welcomed us warmly. She helped me very well with the options for the food as I am picky on food. Most the food (lunch) has coriander leaves, which I don't like. Table was clean and tidy. Restaurant located in the centre, so better pay longer car park if you want to see around after or before food. Great service ! 💪🏽

Lunch at Giggling Squid 🦑 Fantastic Thai inspired food with a great selection on the lunch menu. I had the Green Thai Chicken curry (as pictured) and my partner had the lunch tapas board. We were both very impressed with the food! We did attend the restaurant on a Monday mid day and so despite it being quiet in attendance, the restaurants scenery is stunning, and has been added onto our recommendations list. 🌟 Recommend : Salt and Pepper Quid, Thai Green Curry, Prawn Crackers 🦑 Squid Rating - 9/10

I recently enjoyed a meal at Giggling Squid and it was a real treat. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff making me feel truly valued. I loved the drinks selection and the food was delicious, though I think some dishes could use a bit more flair. The venue itself had a lovely vibe, perfect for a relaxed evening out. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a good time!

Amazing Thai food! We really enjoyed the fresh flavours, everything was moreish and we left feeling very full. The cocktails were fab too, a great selection of mocktails on the drinks menu. Overall would definitely return as there was so much choice and lots of options for vegetarians too.

Absolutely wonderful service and food. Recommend to anyone wanting to try something new. Large menu, but not too large to overwhelm. As a large party, we all tried different things and shared. Every bite was mouth watering. Nicely decorated to suit the name of the restaurant. Clean tidy and well organised. Will definitely return and recommend.

The food was delicious, especially the moneybag starters. Service was very slow, despite it not being super busy.

Great food and service in Chichester! Generous portions and very tasty. Loved the option of a sharing starter so we could try a few options as newbies to Giggling Squid. Will definitely return.

Mother and I visited the Dora Carrington and Patterns exhibition and thoroughly enjoyed it. A wonderful building with modern amenities and a delightful exhibition space - well curated and I learnt a lot about an interesting artist. Looking forward to visiting again - to explore both the existing collection and subsequent exhibitions.

Pallant House Gallery was fantastic. The natural light really brought out the textures of the artworks and the quiet part of Chichester made the visit even more special. I enjoyed walking through the beautiful streets of Chichester city before and after the gallery. The special exhibition was brilliant and I was so absorbed in everything that I forgot to take pictures. Afterward, we enjoyed tea and cake at the lovely café with the option to sit inside or outside. A wonderful place for families.

A friend recommended this gallery for our visit to Chichester and I'm so glad they did - it's a real find. The building is lovely - part heritage house and part modern extension but they flow into each other seamlessly. The volunteers are friendly and helpful. The permanent collection of mostly 20th century British art is quite extensive and contains some very important and engaging pieces. We were also fortunate to be able to see the huge temporary exhibition of artists' pictures of other artists (on until November 2nd 2025) which has lots of interesting works.

Fantastic, light and airy building with something to see for everyone. The natural light really made texture and fine detail come to life. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The cafe was exceptional and it was a beautiful day to sit outside in the courtyard. I came to see the Maggi Hambling Nightingale exhibition, breathtaking. The John Piper paintings in the museum collection were such a bonus for me. Also worth saying what an amazing bookshop they had, so many books floor to ceiling.

Excellent mid sized gallery specialising in British 20th-century art, alongside some contemporary work. The permanent collection is displayed in a Georgian townhouse which has a very peaceful atmosphere. I found the staff to be lovely and helpful. Some very strong and recognisable works here.

Part is set in a beautiful early Georgian house, amongst the best in Chichester. It's one of the best places in the UK to see high quality 20th century art. Unfortunately the Georgian hose is virtually empty except for the artwork and so has lost its character on the inside. The £17 entry charge is a bit steep for what there is there unless you have a real interest in the sort of art they have on display

Always nice to visit when in Chichester. Current exhibition is a bit meh aside from the gorgeous stair installation and a bit pricey though

Delicious coffee! My flat white was one of the best I’ve had, and our carrot cake was pretty okay but I think we should have gone for one of the other cakes that looked more homemade!

Fun, chilled and funky atmosphere, superb coffee and one of the best cinnamon buns I’ve ever had. Staff were really friendly and welcoming, even giving us a bit of a tour of the space.

My favourite restaurant I love bringing people here Who have never been before they are always completely wowed out by it! Interesting unusual and delicious menu from locally sourced food. Loads of vegetarian options. Great Staff. Funky furniture and so many interesting things to look at. If you’ve not been here book a table and go soon!

Ate at the Barn last night and just had to write a review. The food was absolutely delicious. We shared 5 plates between 5 of us and each one was a joy. I especially liked the whipped feta and the tempura broccoli but everyone enjoyed the whole meal. You could tell that the ingredients were well sourced and thoughtfully put together. The waitress could not have been more upbeat and helpful. Even when we were the last to leave, we were not at all hurried and were even told we could stay for more drinks if we wanted. Really enjoyable evening.

What a lovely, unique cafe! Visited there for the first time today and was lucky enough to sit in one of “huts” in the back courtyard. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the service was first class. There was also a wide selection of sweet treats to choose from! Will definitely be back!

Such a fabulous place, I LOVE the ethos of the business which is what drew me here. We were there for the wine bar for the first time, I have been for coffee and cake many a time, we were greeted and shown to our table. We chose to sit outside and it was glorious. The whole place is so stylish and I love the eclectic pieces from the furniture to all the cutlery, glasses and cutlery. The food was fresh and tasty. We will be back.

Visiting Chichester for a mooch and looking for a place to have lunch in the sun we happily discovered 'The barn Chichester'. Staff were friendly, inviting and not overly rude like the other reviews have left.. I was very surprised to see such comments left on other reviews as everyone seemed lovely. Relaxed atmosphere with a quirky decor, we didn't book but staff were more than happy to find seating for us outside where we'd requested to be ideally. I was told recently they've updated their menu, everything seems delicious. I picked the Sourdough cheese, leek toastie with chutney on the side and my other half picked the brioche bun with egg and bacon. Really yummy and we'd happily come here again on our next visit to Chichester. The price is very reasonable and expected for an independent business, I have been to chain cafés with similar prices and less tasty food so absolutely nothing to complain about with the pricing. There was a service charge included in the bill but we were happy to pay this. Upon paying i mentioned I would leave a review as it means so much to a small businesses, I can't stress how lovely this hidden gem was to find. A cinnamon bun was also picked up to go upon leaving! Thank you very much for the experience, Katelyne x

A basic pub with quite a small selection of beers. Friendly staff but preferred to sit outside due to bad language from some of the customers.

Not a bad little pub, I usually pop here on a friday for a quick drink, staff are very polite 😁

Ollie Runs a great traditional pub,he's very welcoming and the place is in a absolutely lovely spot at the canal basin...enjoy

Have been going to this pub for years, it has been Pub #1 on my Chichester pub crawl for the past decade before I moved away. Recently re-visited as I was in the area and it's kept its charm. Welcoming and busy, it's a great pub. I paid over £10 for two bottles of cider however, which I think is a bit much, I think around £4 each is the correct price in this current climate, especially at a time when pubs are wanting people to come, stay and drink multiple drinks. The placement of the pub is another highlight however, with a view of the canal and access to some lovely walks. On the other hand, I would advise this pub to become dog friendly. As it is situated so close to the canal walk, dog walkers ending a stroll along the canal would be a good new customer clientele for this pub.

Had a few drinks nothing much to say but friendly atmosphere and clientele.

2nd time in Chichester found the Richmond by luck very welcoming nice bar nice pint Ollie who served us top man

Called in for a drink and sat outside by the canal. Lovely and peaceful

We went for lunch yesterday and had a fab meal. The fish finger open sandwich was delicious with proper pieces of fish! Not a normal fish finger at all! Brie sandwiches were also delicious. Everything was well presented. Great coffee too. And super friendly service. We also bought some bread to take away. Would highly recommend!

Well deserves 5 stars. Beautiful surroundings set off the perfect pub experience. Well worth a visit! Edit. Just returned for a second visit. This time for dinner. And wow! The food was out of this world. The quality of the meals would not ve out of place in a high end London restuarant. One our party was vegan and while there qas not a vegan option on the menu, the chef was more than happy to make a meal to suit. Superb all round.

The owners of this restaurant are absolutely brilliant. They were fantastic in accommodating our autistic child guest. Their understanding of her needs went above and beyond. As guests we were served an amazing range of food . The smells and artistry that came on every plate was a delight . Home made breads butters and ice creams were outstanding. Thank you so much for a wonderful relaxing and caring evening. We will definitely return.

We went there because of the sandwich we saw online. And we were not disappointed. Everything locally produced. The steak sandwich was amazing. My kid had a fish fingers sandwich and was a 3 fist cod size pieces. You cannot eat as a normal sandwich. Fork and knife... Staff was very polite and place is immaculate. Definitely recommend anf would like to visit again.

Literally popped in whilst on a centurion way walk, out of curiosity. Manager was friendly, helpful and informative about the area. We were offered opportunity to refill our water bottles with chilled water. We spotted homemade loaves of soda bread for sale, and bought one to try. VERY delicious, I cut it up & have frozen sections. It freezes well and is delicious...I'll definitely buy another if I find my way there again. Views outside over The Trundle are great.

Nice country pub and main course choice looks quite pricey, but pretty sure that they are good quality. We had a family lunch there on a week day. Their light lunch menus is really reasonable priced. Enjoy my posh open sandwich and fancy cut vegetables and chips on the side. Kids menu is pretty big potion and quite health with vegetables. Staff provided friendly efficient service. We enjoyed our lunch here. Free on site parking. Small beer garden next to the car park. Nice view of the field from the beer garden. Recommend to all.

I'm a foody and I will be the first to let restaurant staff know if something is not good with my food. The food here is AMAZING. The Earl of March's chef puts The Ivy to shame. There is simply no comparison. Not only it's beautifully presented and yummy just to look at but it's SO tasty. I've been here several times now and never been let down so I thought it was time to leave a review. The food is not cheap but it's worth it. It's an experience you won't forget.

Amazing place! First you walk through a small museum with the information boards and the artefacts displayed. Then you follow a walkway to admire the mosaics. After that there's the garden with information boards about the palace that dominated this place 2000 years ago. Just fascinating!

Must see place if you are interested in roman Britain. Big collection of the artefacts and lots of floor mosaic to enjoy. The museum itself is not dog friendly, but if you take turns, you can spend time in the gardens.

Visiting the Roman Palace at Fishbourne was a truly wonderful experience. The site is perfectly maintained, and the reconstruction of the gardens is beautiful, created in line with what is known about Roman culture and society. However, what impressed me the most were the mosaics inside. They are preserved in a remarkable way and offer a fascinating and varied insight into Roman artistic culture and the use of mosaic decoration. The archaeologists have done an outstanding job in replicating what life must have been like at the time, making this place an authentic and captivating journey into the past. Absolutely worth visiting.

My brain wasn't ready for the astonishing existence of this place and the profound secrets that it holds. It is literally mind altering to see it and read the information so excellently provided, and, as we did, to meet an eminent architect who happened to be working as a volunteer that day, who allowed us to handle artifacts that were handled by Romans 2,000 years ago! The incalculable scope and importance of this ancient site, which was only uncovered in the mid-1960s, has left me reeling. I can't stop thinking about the courage, ambition, brilliance, discernment, and audacity of the Roman conquerors of the first century, (and wondering what has become of us as a species since then.) Don't miss it!

Updated 20250626 Another lovely day here. Again a fabulous informative really by a staff member (didn't catch her name sorry) with much embarrassment when I identified an amphora handle as a knee joint. Hohum. Also lovely to talk to the conservator who had just finished fixing a delightful little jet hair pin. Just wonderful to spend time with people who love their jobs. Calm informative and peaceful this place. Informative boards in the museum, lovely to walk over the various hypocausts and mosaics. As a school trip we were entertained and educated by Tom whose encyclopaediac knowledge of Roman clothes and armour brought the artifacts to life. Some of the signs are a bit tired hence the four stars, so folks get yourself down there to give more money to this place so they can update the boards. Little cafe is lovely, doing ice cream and very good coffee. I mean VERY good coffee.

Absolutely incredible to see 2000 year old mosaics! The staff are so passionate about the experience and the purpose of the museum. I felt so welcome. Yes, the interpretation is a little dated but most people don’t realise how expensive it is to refresh. Balanced against the overall costs that the organisation must face in conservation, buildings maintenance and staff pay, they are really doing the best they possibly can. I would go every week to support them if I could. I booked online, and opted to gift aid my ticket. On arrival the lovely lady told me that this meant my ticket was now an annual ticket.

Great place for the UK if you want to see some real roman finds. Well presented little museum, but the star is the hall built over the roman palace, with some noteworthy mosaics and informative panels to understand more about the original building. Decent cafe and shop on site too.

We had a lovely one night stay here with our two dogs celebrating our wedding anniversary on their 'Muddy Paws' package, which included dinner. I'm not sure if our room was upgraded but we stayed in Flint Cottage, which had a super king bed and a lounge area, which was very charming. The staff had decorated the bed with petals and candles which was a very sweet surprise, they even left us a card on the mantelpiece. There is a little garden at the back where you can sit with a drink and admire the view of the fields beyond, it was so peaceful and relaxing. All the staff were super friendly and helpful and Sash deserves a special mention for being so lovely and bringing us espresso martinis!

Lovely country pub in a gorgeous village. Food was very good and excellent value with the Wednesday deal. We stayed in one of the cottages which was lovely, super old and cute. Lovely outdoor area too. Our one slight hindrance was that storage was lacking - no drawers for our clothes and the wardrobe was inaccessible! As we were there for a wedding we missed being able to hang up our dresses. But probably fine for just one night. Overall a wonderful stay!

Stayed here whilst attending a wedding. The staff were amazing, the American lady who settled us in was fab! The lady who served our breakfast on sunday was also so friendly and accommodating :) loved the residents garden, so peaceful and lovely view. The breakfasts were gorgeous! Lots of little extras included at breakfast- 10/10 for breakfast! Loved the cookies in the room, bed was so comfy, products were gorgeous. The pub itself was beautiful. Great beer gardens

Just returned from a short stay at the Royal Oak in East Levant and couldn't be happier. We stayed in Flint Cottage, which was perfect, cosy, comfortable, and ideal for a quick getaway. The food? Absolutely top-notch. Far beyond typical pub fare, every dish was full of flavour and beautifully presented. Service was brilliant throughout, and we want to give a special shout-out to Jess. Nothing was too much trouble for her, and she even made an excellent pink gin. A real star! Thanks to all the team at the Royal Oak for making our stay memorable. We’ll be recommending this gem to friends and family.

Disappointing Food Experience, Despite Good Service. My partner and I recently went out for dinner at the Royal Oak, a visit we'd both been really looking forward too. To start on a positive note the staff were great, friendly and attentive , which we appreciated. My partner had the burger, which was just OK, nothing particularly memorable but not bad either, Unfortunately my meal was a real disappointment. I ordered the pie of the day, which was steak and ale with mash. The beef inside was cut into very small pieces and was incredibly dry with no sauce or gravy at all. Something i had never encountered a steak pie before. there was also no taste of ale and it honestly seemed like it might've been left over from the Sunday roast. The pastry overcooked and dry as well. The mash was grainy, clearly not properly mashed with no butter or seasoning and the accompanying vegetables were just as bland, again lacking any seasoning. Overall the food was very underwhelming and not up to the standard we were expecting, its a shame as the staff were good and we had hoped for a much better experience.

Really warm and friendly welcome, with prompt and efficient service. Great food, dinner and breakfast excellent with very good menu choices. Comfortable rooms in charming traditional pub. Quiet village plus bonus of a few Low flying Spitfire passes. Hope we'll go again soon.

Sunday lunch at The Royal Oak. Second time we have been. Great location. Off the beaten track. In Goodwood's back yard. Lovely interior, good food, not the cheapest around, great atmosphere and staff. Served by Sash, Tatiana and Joe who were very welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. Dog friendly too. Will be back again.

One of the best restaurants I have been to so far. I am a fan of posh restaurants with good and different food. This was a gift reservation for my best friend and we had the best time. Most delicious scallops from around the area, the steak was perfectly cooked and the starters were yummy! The bill at the end was unexpectedly low in comparison with other restaurants with poor food quality. Amazing service and nice staff definitely will be returning for more meals! 🤍

Beautiful dining experience! We chanced upon The Ivy while in Chichester for the weekend and seeing the positive Google reviews, decided to give it a go. It was quite a busy (and rainy) day when we went, so perhaps that’s why service was on the slow side but everyone was always friendly and very welcoming. We found the prices and portions very reasonable, food was delicious and beautifully presented too. Definable a place to return to!

Absolutely love coming here, foods always delicious, array of drinks and exceptional service. Have to try the Steak it is phenomenal. Price list for all they do a set menu which is extremely affordable.

An excellent restaurant far above the usual standard of a chain. We visited early on a busy Saturday evening. The place was nearly full and buzzing. The service was excellent and attentive. The food was also very good and the menu well executed.

We called in for lunch before heading to the Festival Theatre. We enjoyed everything about our visit - service, food, decor and atmosphere. My bubble tea drink was one of the best I've ever tried

Great food me and my mate was impressed and nice free drink for Easter special promo and excellent staff and well done will be back soon fabulous decor in the restaurant excellent set menu good vaule

March 2025 a lovely morning spent here, had avo on toast with a pot of coffee and cream. Really nice, we were taken care of by attentive staff. Loved the bathroom and ceiling

My husband and another in our party loved their lasagna. My pasta and meatballs were a bit dry and peppery for my taste. Cocktails and ciders were nice.

Myself and fiance attended the Zizzi restaurant in Chichester for my birthday. We were not let down by the food or service. The service was excellent from the moment we walked through the door. We were greeted with a smile, seated, and then very prompt service. The food speaks for itself. Absolutely. Gorgeous.

Nice meal and very good service. Thus was an unexpected Saturday night out and Zizzi could accommodate us. All the staff were welcoming and our server Mausha was great

Went out for dinner with my partner and had an amazing time! The 2 ladies that served us were brilliant! So friendly and helpful with my allergy. Ordered the carbonara and the lady with the red hair offered fresh Parmesan cheese…I didn’t say when and she was happy to carry on 😂 the food was delicious the drinks were amazing! She went the extra mile and topped it off with a meringue in my mocktail! Definitely recommend and definitely coming back again! Thank you both!

Amazing food, was given a free nibbles (seasoned fried pasta basically like crisps) and lovely atmosphere. Server was lovely too, informative and attentive. Would go again :)

Had a lovely meal. Our server Isabelle was very friendly and helpful. Would highly reccomend.

We had a lovely meal — Amber was our server and she was absolutely fantastic. Very personable and always had a smile on her face, which really added to the experience. Despite being busy, the whole team was on the ball with the service. We never had to wait long or try to get anyone’s attention, which made for a smooth and enjoyable evening. The only downside was the condition of the venue itself. Some of the booth seats had duct tape on them, and the backs were looking a bit grotty. The walls and other seating areas also looked a little tired. It’s a shame, as this is a brilliant place to eat and we've had many great meals here. A bit of a refresh would go a long way in matching the quality of the food and service.

I've had a meal here a number of days in a row in an attempt to get loads of healthy food after visiting hours of the hospital (20h). Fresh, crispy, unctuous, smooth, elegant, sharp flavors, etc are all available depending on your choice of the menu. Loved it. There are individual differences between cooks but all good. Could relax here and then continue on. The servers are friendly and one connected really well and made me feel welcome enough to return. After my last meal before repatriation homewards my favorite server gifted me this meal sending all their love to my partner with a gift box added. I didn't expect it, it made me happy, such gestures are so precious. Thank you Esmai! I'll remember you! I appreciate this a lot!

Delicious food. Free green tea is a nice bonus. Nice place, good food, friendly service, reasonable prices. Some of the tables have a cafeteria-like layout, which doesn't allow for an intimate atmosphere. Some tables are separated by dividing walls, creating a cozy and more intimate setting. It can get very loud here, and the noise level is so high that it makes conversation difficult. We've been here many times. We've tried various dishes, dined in, and ordered takeout. Everything has always been tasty.

You can't move tables, they don't know how to cope with that. I asked for a menu, and was given the drinks and desserts menu. Food was bland. Unimpressive menu selection. Not very busy.

The food was fresh, tasty, and came out quickly, just what you’d hope for. Staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming.

I regularly order a chilli chicken ramen from here and it is the best ramen I’ve ever had. It’s so flavourful and is prepared in the best way and presented beautifully despite delivery. The person who prepares the ramen deserves a huge raise.

I visited Wagamama yesterday evening and had such a lovely experience. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the food was absolutely amazing as always. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a really friendly waiter (I didn’t catch his name, unfortunately), and our server, Esmai, was so sweet and helpful throughout. Both of them made the whole meal feel extra enjoyable. Great food, great service, and an all-around great experience — I’ll definitely be coming back!

My brother was able to eat healthy for many days at this restaurant while his wife was in hospital with serious complications. I am extremely happy that he got some support (mentally, socially, human, listening ears, ...) from people from there! Restaurant! Thank you for to be there for my brother! :-)

Food was pretty good, although the Padana pizza was a little sweeter than usual. Service was good, but we were seated on a big table as a couple. We had to ask twice for water. They were all very friendly and accommodating though.

Pizza Express truly impressed us! The pizza was absolutely delicious – fresh ingredients, and amazing flavours that everyone at the table loved. It’s clear the kitchen puts a lot of care into every dish. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming – ideal for a relaxed family night out. The stuff is super friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. A fantastic place to enjoy quality time (and amazing food!). Highly recommended!

Slow Service and disinterested staff. waited 40+ mins. We like Pizza Express but won’t come to this one again. Haslemere is much better.

We had to wait over 40 minutes for our meals to be served which was slow considering they had plenty of staff in the kitchen. I asked for peppers to be added and specifically said not chili peppers but they put chili peppers on the pizza and still charged me for them! I like pizza express but i will not be going back to this one.

Normally a great experience at other Pizza Express restaurants. However at Chichester 30 minute wait for Olives. Finally when main course arrived burnt lasagna or possibly cremated. Vegan bowl consisted a bowl of rocket leaves four tomatoes and a hand full of seeds. Possibly the worst restaurant meal I have ever experienced.

Have been to Pizza Express 50+ times over the years and have eaten at Chichester a fair few times which has always been good. Turned up today Friday 11th around 18:45, had not booked as was travelling back from Wales so wasn't sure on time, based on variabilty of traffic. Walked in and saw there were a fair few tables unoccupied. 2 members of staff saw us waiting and just carried on with what they were doing, I get that they were probably dealing with tables but a basic "I'll be with you in a minute" or just an acknowledgement that we were there would have been nice. Stood there for about 3 minutes waiting, it's as if we were invisible. Turned around and walked out and went next door to Wagamama where we got a warm welcome and seated straight away. Service is as important as the food for me and Pizza Express has badly let me down today. Not sure what the issue was today but it was no where near what I'm used to.

First time dining in Chichester branch. It was quiet when we came in as it was before dinner time. Good thing as food came out quick and hot. Our server attended to us right away and laid out all the condiments we asked for. BBQ burnt ends under ROMANA. Thin crust pizza, tomatoes, dots of bbq meat and cheese. Canneloni was served on a hot plate. Perfectly browned cheese topped the pasta. Luscious sauce tomatoey and creamy. So full. 😅

myself and 8 others went for a Boys night out, probably the first of many visits! I cannot say enough about the quality and flavour of the dishes! amazing. The service and welcome we received was also 1st class. Highly recommended for an authentic Indian cuisine experience.

Tried the Achari Gosht, and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced. The restaurant had a great atmosphere with a warm and welcoming vibe. The service was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. One thing I noticed was the number of locals dining there—a sure sign of a great spot! Will definitely be back.

Came to this place and ordered food waited about 50 mins and brought out the rong food and then tryd make me take it after I didn’t order it then I had to wait another 45 mins and the next food was rotten well differently will not be returning here ever again and very ignorant staff…… had to leave my food behind I am very up set tbh

The vibe is immaculate, takes ma back to India, even though I’m from South of India most of my studies were in North. The best place to visit if you are homesick and the staff is very welcoming. Overall, had one of the best time after coming to the UK.

The food was delicious, the staff were all so lovely and accommodating . I fully recommend the food. It’s superb. The atmosphere is lovely too.

Welcoming, authentic, relaxing, great staff, amazing food, I had the king prawn dish absolutely delicious. Lovely to have a chapati which was authentic. Rather than line naan bread. Will definitely come again.

Best Indian food I’ve ever had! Chicken pulls apart tenderly, lamb and vegetarian options are also very very good. The staff & owner are always super friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place, definitely in my top 3 restaurants around Chichester.

Mind blowing venue which i wasn’t aspecting. Very impressive architecture and decor because it’s church converted in bar. Stained glass windows awesome and ceiling too. The bar guy was friendly and happy to help kinda person so do great service. Happily recommend to anyone who wanna have great time in very pleasant atmospheric place.

Venue dazzled us - great food, great vibes, and a setting that practically begs for a return visit. Only hiccup: the kebab meat had a dramatic flair for overcooking. We forgive it. Just this once.

The Duke and Rye is a fantastic pub with a really unique charm. The layout and atmosphere are amazing, especially considering it was formerly a church. The large space makes it feel grand, and the interior looks incredible — really adds to the overall vibe. Drinks are reasonably priced, too. The only reason I’ve given 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the state of the toilets. Unfortunately, the smell tends to drift into the pub, and they could definitely be cleaner.

Dropped by The Duke for drinks and was seriously impressed - not just by the drinks, but by the stunning building itself. This place has real character and charm! Didn’t try the food this time, but the service was great and the vibe was spot on.

Very Dog Firendly, Nice artcheture, pleasant food selection, with an okay price. Unfortunately, when we visited on a week day lunchtime, ourselves and other customers had a 20-30 minute wait on food with no warning or explanation. There were only 8 customers in the entire building. One customer complained as they had ordered food 10 minutes before we had come in and we had already waited 20 for just a sandwich. We then overheard the staff in kitchen being rude about the customers, who complained about the waiting times.

Quite the novelty to have a beer inside the church. Interesting architecture and stained glass windows, fun facts too. Beer was fine, as was the food, shame they were missing some items from the menu. Engaging landlady.

Absolutely loved my visit to Duke & Rye! Nestled in a charming old church, the atmosphere is both cozy and breathtaking, thanks to the stunning stained glass windows that add a magical touch. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The drinks selection is just as impressive, with a variety of local ales and spirits to choose from. It's the perfect spot for an evening out on Chichester center. Highly recommend if you're looking for a place with character and drinks! There is a pool table

First time in Chichester and to this restaurant chain. Service was excellent. Attentive and informative without being intrusive. Tom's knowledge and customer based skills were excellent. The pizzas were lovely too and big enough that I couldn't finish mine. Prices were good. Best thing for me personally was their attentiveness to allergies as their allergy sheet went beyond the standard ones and I was able to eat with confidence that the food was not only delicious but safe. They have a great loyalty scheme via an app but sadly their branches aren't that close to where we live. We would definitely recommend.

A lovely welcome for this solo diner. Pizza seriously one of the best I've had. Charming view over the cross. Nice to watch the bustle. Will definitely be back next time. Special shout out to my server, John.

Just had an amazing meal at Franco Manca recently. The Margherita and wild mushroom pizzas were absolutely delicious – perfect sourdough and fantastic toppings. Big thanks to Tom for the brilliant service; he was super friendly and attentive. Great vibes and a truly excellent experience overall!

Can't beat a good pizza but the Tiramisù was amazing.. Buratta was slightly questionable but we're not in Italy..

We have come here a couple of times now and the service from the same lady is absolutely fantastic. She cannot do enough for you whilst looking extremely busy and slightly over worked! She was still super happy and positive and couldn’t do enough. Always a positive experience here!

Stopped by for a Saturday evening pizza. Turn up and take your chance, no reservations. Service was good and friendly. Pizza arrived quickly. It looked good but the base was slightly underdone, particularly towards the middle. The tiramisú had good taste and texture. The place was noisy even though there were no large groups. Franco Manca has a loyalty scheme. Visit six times and buy a pizza. Input receipt codes into the App and get your next pizza free.

The food was great especially the summer salad! John was a fantastic host who made us feel welcome and he's very funny too! We'll be back again.

Had a fabulous lunch at Phoenix Dining today. It's owned and run by a young husband and wife team, who bring a wonderful blend of Nepali and Chinese food cultures together to create interesting and flavour-packed dishes. A short, but well-judged menu is on offer, and this place must be the best value in Chichester. Dishes are beautifully presented, and we learned today that they opened in 2021. How brave, considering the economic climate of the time. I think they could produce a range of house sauces and seasoning blends to take away. The flavours are so interesting. They really deserve to do well. I won't hesitate to return when back in Chi. Wishing them every success for the future.

Recommended by locals and did not disappoint. Absolutely fab food and great service. Oh and a really lovely chenin Blanc. So happy we went. Go.

Absolutely the best resturant in Chichester! Superb wine and cocktail selection with a wide range for every price. The dim sum was steamed and flavoursome and the chicken wings were juicy and delicious with the garlic mayo. The main was gorgeous to look at and tasted superb.

Delicious crispy prawns with smoky scallions and chilli, perfectly cooked, followed by Sticky cumin beef with bao buns And wonderful Mixed fried rice. Wonderful wines. This restaurant is a real gem.

We ate here before going to the theater. I chose the Pre Fixe pre-theatre menu. The crab rolls were a bit creamy and could have used more crab. But my main course was delicious and cooked well. My husband also loved his meal. Dessert was a rice pudding that was more like a creme brûlée and was great. We had a nice glass of wine and finished off with caramel coffees that were yummy. The meal was reasonably priced. I deducted one star for service merely because my husband thought one plate they brought out for appetizers was slightly dirty.

My favourite restaurant in Chichester. It really is a hidden gem, right next to Priory Park and The Harbour Hotel. Delicious Asian food (Chinese and Nepalese) run by a charming husband and wife team. A lot of love goes into the food, always jazz music playing to create a warm ambience and they offer a good pre-theatre set menu, the perfect place to come before a performance at Chichester Festival Thestre, which is a walk away. Highly recommended.

We went here last night for the third time. Each time was amazing. When in Chichester give this lovely restaurant a go. Cannot be faulted in any way. Awesome

Fabulous Turkish restaurant. We were a table of 15 and the service and food were excellent. I am a gluten free vegan and the manager was very accommodating, which I was so grateful for in a ‘meaty’ restaurant. The only downside is their pides ( which I think is Turkish for pizza) wasn’t working/on so that significantly limited the options, especially for the kids. All in all, lovely, clean, great quality and service.

Visited Pidde's after I saw my friend post about it. Her hubby was very excited for the food. It was quiet when we went. We were sat right away. We waited about 30minutes for our order as they had to make it from scratch. It was a meal good for two. It was served hot. The meat contents would be good for 1 for my appetite. 😁 They have a loo. They accept credit cards. The crew were very lovely and nice. Gave us a jug of water haha and so much hot sauce which was very good. Perfect spice.

Food is so great. We came back here again to celebrate our birthday. Service good too. Lovely and polite staff.

The staff were very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. The price is so reasonable compared to other restaurants too. Although there is no vegetarian wrap option they were able to accommodate this. The food was so flavourful and great portion sizes! Will definitely be returning and recommending ❤️

Very nice place to visit. The waitress was friendly and polite, with great knowledge of the food they are serving. The food was delicious and made in front of us(open kitchen). We will definitely come back. Thank you for the warm atmosphere .

We had a negative experience on entry, unfortunately. We were on route home with a long drive ahead of us and stopped off to feed our baby dinner, get a drink and some dinner ourselves. The restaurant was empty at 6pm and we walked in to be seated. My husband said are we OK if we just get a drink and before he could even finish his sentence (to say we just need to feed the baby first, then we can work out what food we want etc). They waiter said no, you can only come in if yor order food. This made me feel uncomfortable and not want to even consider ordering our dinner in there. I've never had that before and we were trying to find somewhere quiet to feed our baby his dinner. We ended up going to Nandos next door and the waiter was so lovely and welcoming. We fed our baby, had a refreshing coke and then our dinner. Finally, got back on the road with a happy, sleepy baby. Such a disappointing experience as we love Mediterranean food.

The moment you step inside, you're greeted with warmth and friendliness that instantly lifts your spirits. And let's talk about the food – absolute perfection! The Turkish delicacies are a true delight, and that pida with sliced beef? It's like a symphony of flavors dancing on your palate, especially when you add those delicious mushrooms. This place has definitely earned a top spot on our list of favorite eateries, and we can't wait to return after our next long beach stroll.

Didn't have any food. Liked the benches outside as not much inside seating. Luckily the weather was nice. Cider was nice but a bit pricey.

Awesome place - well done guys. Lovely craft beers. Music is calming and great - so easy to chat (why do other places get this so wrong!). Dog friendly too.

Only had time for 1 drink and chose cactus cat - delicious. Was there early afternoon along with 2 or 3 others and the atmosphere was good.

Good craft beer bar with friendly service.

Visiting Chichester we just had to try this micro brewery.Was a great place.Good beers ,friendly staff,good music and great atmosphere.It was so nice we went back!🤗 We did not eat here.

Amazing independent craft beer local. Great atmosphere run by two great guys. Always have a different option, food trucks do regular pop ups through the back, live bands regularly too.

One of a few (two?!) micropubs/ brewers in Chi. Understated and yet knows its stuff. Nicely comfortable.

Lovely pub, visited mid week with friends for food and drinks. Service was excellent, friendly staff. Food and drink were great. They have their own ale that is brewed locally by Arundel Brewery. Location is fantastic, views from the garden are lovely. Will return.

We had a wake here and it was great. Lovely setting, beautiful inside and the garden was lovely. The food was delicious, all home made and very tasty! The sausage rolls were amazing!!

This establishment was selected due to its proximity to Goodwood where we were attending an event on late May Bank Holiday Sunday. We stayed for 2 nights with friends and we had a fabulous time. The rooms, the food, the bar and beers plus the staff were fantastic. The manager was very engaging and supported by enthusiastic and attentive staff. I don't know the name but one of the servers was so attentive, she lived in but was exceptional.

An excellent, beautifully presented meal! 5 of us had a superb supper with starters, mains and puds. Every course was delicious. Our favourite starters were the prawn bruschetta, smoked mackerel pate and scrumptious baked Camembert. The lamb rump main was cooked perfectly as was the spicy baked salmon dish. We finished with affogatos which were perfect and all we could manage. The service was friendly and all the staff were knowledgeable and there was a brilliant atmosphere. We always have exceptional meals here whether we visit for lunch or supper. The best food in West Sussex!

We were returning after many years to this pub with high expectations and lovely memories from last time, however we were met with great disappointment. We waited about an hour for starters, another hour for mains and 20 minutes for dessert. The starter was soup, which was just okay, with initially a very limited choice of other starters (3 other options) after one was unavailable. The smash burger came really watery, burnt, somehow both patties were dry, crumbling apart and the cheese was almost nonexistent. Chips for all dishes were very greasy, cold and uneavenly cooked when arrived. The vegetarian burger was misleading, saying it was a mushroom and pepper burger on the menu (expecting a patty) but receiving a very soggy whole pepper and mushroom shoved between a bun. The strawberry and apple crumble had a very acidic and vinegary tasting base, leaving a weird taste in your mouth. The crumble on top was like a slab of biscuit that had been very unevenly broken up, extremely hard to chew and burnt also. The fact that you’re expected to go up and order everything yourself contradicts the mandatory 10% service fee, which we did not feel was appropriate given our limited and rather unwelcoming interactions with the staff. Overall, very disappointed and would definitely not recommend.

Stayed here for 2 nights. The Pub is a lovely 400yr grade 2 listed Pub with ample free parking. The room was very nice, clean and comfortable. The staff were lovely and good at their jobs. The evening food was very good as was the breakfast.

Come here a couple times every year, and the foods always amazing. Last few times we've been served by a lively chap who always makes us laugh. The views from outside are phenomenal looking over the fields of goodwoods countryside. Always a great visit when in the area.

This was our first meal in the UK, and we were looking for fish and chips. The size and quality of the meal was better than expected. Located right on the beach with a nice view of the channel. One word of caution, not about the restaurant, but the parking. Don't make the same mistake we did. You need to pay for parking. We weren't there long and got a ticket.

The Beach has a main inside cafe as well as a seafront outside food truck with plenty of beach view seating! I was peckish for a bacon bap, so I ordered a sausage and bacon bap and as you can see it was absolutely stacked! Great portion sizes here for sure! You receive a buzzer when ordering so that you can find a seat whilst your order is prepared. This truely was a great find and I will definitely be coming here more often in the summer months. I love East Wittering, and The Beach at the beach only makes the town better!

What a great find, welcomed by a helpful gentleman and got a table with a sea view. The staff were all friendly and chatty. The freshly squeezed orange juice hit the spot, followed by a delicious, well cooked, served on a hot plate veggie breakfast. My mum had the potato dish with bacon n sausages, unfortunately it was described as potato slices but was actually broken hash browns but full of bacon and sausage with very well cooked poached eggs. A mum and kids group where there, one child constantly whinning and not addressed by mother which continued for most of our meal, until the traffic warden arrived and the mums left, the childs noise ruined the ambience for us and people around us who were also commenting. Would go back

A busy Monday lunch time and the team were obviously short staffed yet managed to accommodate us and look after us as if they had all the staff members! I had the fish finger sandwich (may as well have been fish and chips with some beautifully baked bread) and the hubby had the moules frites. Never a bigger bowl of moules had we seen!

Surprised to get a table at 9am on a Saturday… now I can see why. Coffee took 20 minutes to arrive and there were only three other tables in. I ordered French toast and was given plain, floppy bread that hadn’t seen a pan, let alone an egg. My husband’s “overnight oats” were more like “five-minutes-ago oats” - cold, rushed, and sad. The staff at the front were lovely but clearly left to fend for themselves, with no backup from management as there was no one there. Honestly, I left hungry and baffled. Won’t be back - unless it’s to return the bread so it can finish becoming toast.

Fantastic location food delicious but mostly service excellent.We have a bit of a nervous dog and they went out of their way to make him and us super comfy.Thank you

EDIT: Since becoming The Beach, it doesn’t seem as good as it once was. My previous 5 star and comment below was certainly typical of a usual visit for breakfast for example. However, the latest visit in July 2025 had cold food, ingredients of a lesser quality, low stock and the flat white served in the smallest cup available I couldn’t even get my finger in the handle. Such a shame. I hope things improve but I doubt we’d be back for a while. Always a pleasure to visit!

The breakfast took about an hour to arrive , after we’ve finished eating and going our room, one of the server’s (with big forehead) shouted from the middle of the restaurant if we have paid? Even though we told them we were from the hotel across. I don’t know if it was deliberate because three (whites) families left before us, also staying in the hotel but were not asked if they have paid. Unfortunately I was in a wheelchair, so I wonder how fast she was expecting to run. That attitude was unprofessional and i would definitely not be going there ago

Not waitress fault very understaffed. Waited along time, beef and Ale pie burnt , Lasagna microwaved within an inch of its life. Husband went to loo, Over flowing urinals into a bucket. Very run down inside and out . Not worried the money.

The food was ok, the portion was not big and it could have a better presentation. When we arrive the place was almost empty and there was only one lady serving, so it took long than usual to be seated. The steak was good but I expected more (but this is my issue only)

Popped in for a quick lunch on the way home from Brighton. Place was quite busy. Staff very friendly and we were seated quickly. Drinks ordered and arrived quickly, but took them half an hour to return and take our food order. It was a later lunch, so most tables had left by then, so it was quieter than when we first arrived. We ordered 2 mains - steak (medium rare) and a chicken burger. This took forever to arrive and when it did the steak was medium/well. We were hungry by then and didn't return it as we didn't have the time to wait for another one to be cooked. Chips were well cooked and the chicken burger was tasty. Ordered 2 desserts which arrived much quicker. Overall the meals was edible, but not amazing, but to be fair quite good value for the price. Only seemed to be 2 members of front staff dealing with everything, so understandable why there was such a delay - need more staff.

Review of Crossbush Beefeater (Arundel) Rating: 1/5 Stars (Poor Service and Disorganisation) My recent visit to the Crossbush Beefeater was an incredibly disappointing experience, defined by excessively long wait times and a complete lack of attention from the staff. Upon arrival, we were left standing at the host station for a full 15 minutes before a member of staff finally acknowledged us and showed us to a table. This wait was frustrating, but we hoped the service would improve once we were seated. Unfortunately, it only got worse. We were then completely ignored. We waited for nearly an hour (approximately 55 minutes) and were finally only able to place our order because we had to formally complain to a passing manager or server to get their attention. We felt truly invisible and had to take active steps just to participate in the dining process. The entire team seemed disorganised, creating the impression that no one knows what they are doing. There was no structure or clear assignment of tables, resulting in guests being neglected while staff members milled about. The service experience completely overshadowed any potential quality of the food. Diners should not have to spend over an hour in a restaurant, let alone complain, before even placing a food order. I strongly recommend the management at the Crossbush Beefeater address their staffing and service training as a matter of urgency. In summary, if you value prompt service and attentive staff, you should choose a different dining location.

Waited 45 mins from being seated for them to take my order because she was busy talking to friends to ask me what I wanted. I tried to order pudding at the same time as the main course but was told they won't take pudding orders yet and will be back later. So as you can guess after 1 hr 50 mins from being seated I had enough of waiting and payed my bill in full and complained about the service that was received by the team. I would recommend McDonald's over the service I have received tonight from them

Returning again today to this well, situated and well run Beefeater on the hill overlooking Arundel, the food offer once again great value for money and well presented. Mel, the manager was simply outstanding especially as yet again she found herself having to operate the Bar, restaurant, meet and greet and answering the telephone calls all due to the lack of staff availability. It appears to me just a customer that numerous multi operations have cut to the bone those needed to run the shifts, making those left work almost to exhaustion just to keep up the standards required both by the employers and general public alike. This lady needs recognition and a bonus. We were looked after royally, enjoyed our meal and experience whilst Mel and her team overcame the behind the scenes issues ! Well done ! We will return

Came here for a meal with family as a day late birthday celebration. Service was friendly and about as fast as can be expected on such a busy day. Food was nice, it's a challenge not to fill up too much at the complementary salad bar. Hardly left room for all my main course. None of us left disappointed and would definitely come back for more.

We were passing and decided to stop for some dinner. We didn't have a reservation, but we did get a table. The menu is large, and every dish sounds very big, not quite the case when you see it. Our waitress was friendly. There wasn't much of a wait for the food. But my husband order said it came with sage and onion seasoned fries, and it didn't. When he pointed this out to the waitress, she said it didn't but did offer to change them. He left it at this stage as all the food was on the table. Before we left, we asked to look at the menu, and we were right. Now surely the chef in the kitchen should know their own menu even if the waitress didn't. His portion was small for half a rack of ribs and a quarter of a chicken. The salad bar wasn't great. I had the dirty bird, and it was very nice, and my daughter had the dirty one, and she liked it. I wouldn't be running back to the place, but it was ok if you needed a quick bite to eat

Today we had dinner at Harvester Barn Chichester. We been served by Lucy who was very friendly kind and excellent service. She is a very nice person thank you gor your help and support. We had nice dinner atmosphere was great.

We had Lucy serve us this evening, and she was absolutely amazing. She had such a lovely attitude and was extremely helpful. Polite and me and my partner couldn't of asked for better service. We will definitely be coming back.

We were seated by the window, and it was very hot. We had a baby, and the sun was shining right in our faces even with the blinds down. We requested if we could move to a different table, but we weren't allowed. It's a shame as the food was nice, but we were so uncomfortable sitting where we were. We had to put the baby back in his pram to protect him from the sun.

Went to Harvester twice for dinner and once for breakfast while holidaying in pagham from London. Found the food to be very nice, the service received was also very good. The breakfast was literally one of the best breakfast's I have had! The bacon was done absolutely perfect, good sized portions, very appetising. Dinner was equally as good and tasty as breakfast. Would definitely recommend this establishment and would definitely return to eat here if ever in the area!

Stopped here as we always had good experiences in Harvesters so was expecting the same here. When we arrived we were left standing for between 5 - 10 minutes before anyone could see us. The staff looked under pressure as there was a load of dirty tables waiting to be cleared. We got seated and the friendly staff took our drinks order followed by our food orders. We were invited to use the salad bar and given a bowl each to have what we wanted. Unfortunately the salad bar was mostly empty and the staff didn’t have time to refill it. When my I ordered the original combo, my wife ordered the Dirty Bird and my Daughter ordered the Dirty one with bacon. My wife’s cam out perfect and she enjoyed every bit. My daughters came out without the bacon , but she still enjoyed it. The combo meal was supposed to have onion and sage fries which were not forthcoming. I asked the waitress and she told me I ordered the standard combo and the seasoned fries didn’t come with my order. She did offer to change my fries but I reckoned I must have been mistaken and didn’t want to put her out. The chicken and ribs were tiny and didn’t live up to the expectation. I asked to look at the menu again and point out that the seasoned fries should have been a part of my meal. I asked for an explanation and all I got was sorry, most people just ask for normal fries. That’s no excuse and unless a specific request is made the meal should come a described and not what the cook feels like putting out. At £66 for three mains and drinks it’s a place I definitely will not be rushing back to.

The starter and main were good. I couldn't eat the pudding - it wasn't for me. It was stodgy, and individual bits all became one by the overpowering sweet coulis. Mash was provided instead of the advertised dauphinoise potatoes. Service was good. Toilets were grim. Overall, the atmosphere was ruined by a busy party and a lot of swearing. Not the best for our romantic Valentine's dinner.

We had an amazing time on Sunday! Our greeting by Alex was very professional and sat us by a window seat with a nice view of the garden. Our server Evie was all smiles, super polite, so friendly and looked after us in every way! Our scallop and crab starter was one of the most interesting dishes I’ve ever had. Our Camembert was nice and hot, full of flavour and the bread perfectly crispy. Our roast, pork, beef sirloin and trio were cooked perfectly, tender, tasty and very generous, and gorgeous cauliflower cheese. It was one of the best roast dinner we’ve had since Christmas! Thank you chefs Rob, Kai and Joe. My dad absolutely loved the Sea Fury Ale! We can’t wait to come back again!

Visited today for the first time after a recommendation from a friend. The food was really good . I had a pie and my husband had a steak. The service was fabulous. Rob looked after us. He was very attentive but be warned , he’s a feeder 😂 zero complaints and already have a list of things I need to try next time. Massive bonus that it’s dog friendly.

Bosham inn is a lovely hidden gem inside bosham and offers a lovely food menu and drink menu. The service was outstanding — friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable without being overbearing. Our server offered excellent recommendations and ensured everything ran smoothly throughout the meal. We will definitely be coming back and will be recommending it to others

Good food, very cute pub. Has a large amount of seating so we were able to walk in at lunch time without a reservation. Would likely need one for an evening meal though. Has a big car park so plenty of parking. Good selection of beers on tap and also serves cocktails. The pub has a nice beer garden again with a lot of seats so perfect to go to for a summer day. Pub was clean and staff were really friendly

I booked the Bosham Inn for 10 people for my husbands birthday. We were welcomed immediately and seated. Rob was our server for the evening and could not of been more helpful. He was cheery and nothing was too much trouble. He also looked after the 2 little ones we had with us and made sure they had all they needed. The food was amazing and plentiful and very well priced as the quality was perfect. We will definitely be returning again in the very near future. Thanks again for a lovely evening Rob.

We had a really lovely visit to this small pub restaurant recently. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, with that perfect mix of relaxed and friendly that makes you feel right at home. What really stood out, though, was the excellent service — especially from Carmelle. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt looked after. When our family was ordering drinks and some of them came with a complimentary flapjack, one of us didn’t order a drink and was left without one. Carmelle noticed right away and kindly brought over an extra flapjack so no one felt left out. It was such a small gesture, but it really showed how thoughtful and attentive she was. You don’t get service like that everywhere. Food and drinks were great too — simple, hearty, and clearly made with care. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for good food, great service, and a warm atmosphere.

The Anchor Bleu was very busy on the evening we visited Bosham. At first, we couldn't get a table as it was packed. Good sign, we thought. We decided to have a walk around the waters edge before returning. When we went back, we were given a friendly welcome and a table at the back of the pub. Menues on the chalkboard, with plenty of choice. Service was efficient and came with a smile. Our food was great, especially my sea bass 🤩 Great location too

Great. Local pub that had some engaging and customer oriented team members.. I was made to feel most welcome. Excellent all round and menu in the blackboard - brilliant - none of this QR code rubbish, meaning you don't have to take mobile with and you can do what pubs are for conversation great food and drinks and great service.

Eating here on a Monday lunchtime and the place was nearly full. Glad we had made a reservation. Lovely freshly prepared food We ate up stairs with a great view of the Hoe.

I’ve been to Bosham many times over the last several years, but never had the opportunity to visit the Anchor Bleu. For this visit, I went with my wife, with the intention of eating there. It’s a busy pub at the centre of a beautiful village, but we had no trouble getting an outside table. I had a dressed crab salad and my wife had their burger. Both were really very good. This is a great pub and if you get the chance, bit and dine.

Stopped in here for a quick solo lunch after exploring the little village. As an Aussie, it's hard to get a ploughman's back home. So I was keen to try theirs. It was excellent. Very generous portion size. Went great with a glass of wine. Lovely staff too. They all seemed quite bubbly and happy to be there, which gave a nice vibe.

A perfect place looking over the beautiful estuary, what a view! Come, relax and enjoy the food as well as the panorama.

One of the best pubs we’ve been too in a long time! Could not fault the service at all. It was very busy when we arrived (to be expected on a hot day and lovely views!) but this did not stop any the staff from being attentive and friendly, which gave the pub a really lovely atmosphere. The views from the patio overlooking the water is picturesque and completed the whole experience. Food was incredible, we didn’t have to wait long at all considering how busy it was! Not a bad word to say about this pub. We will be back! Thank you :)

Omg, absolutely delicious home cooked meals, the confi duck was beautiful, and so was the pork belly and my friends also had the sausage and mash, a really cosy atmosphere as well, would 100% recommend a visit there.

Warm and friendly pub that serves fantastic food. Staff are very friendly and can't do enough for you. Would definitely return. I had the lamb shank which melted in the mouth, partner had pork belly that was the best he's ever had. Dog friendly also

Great quintessential country English pub, with the core ingredients of excellent service, great food and a charming atmosphere! Service was extremely friendly and attentive even during busy periods. Food was excellent and well priced. Ample parking. Recommended - will be back again!

Had Sunday lunch here and the roast beef was perfect! All the trimmings were provided. Also, the crumble apple tart with accompanying local ice cream was delicious. All the staff were attentive and very friendly. It's also an ideal place to take a dog as they're very welcome also. Highly recommended.

All the staff were attentive, prompt and very pleasant. I totally agree with the other people who have commented. We will return. I can’t fault anything 😁👍 Clearly family run, they care, it shows. No service charge was automatically added to the bill. That’s rare these days. Obviously I chose to add one 😁 Blue cheese on the cheese board 👍👍

This is one of our favourite restaurants. We have been doing here for a few years. It’s an old pub which has extensive seating in several areas. Quiet cosy rooms and larger social spaces. There are lots of drinks options especially with the gin choices. The food menu is extensive with daily specials as well. There is definitely several dishes I could happily eat. I have never had a bad meal here. The prices are reasonable and the portions on the large side. The service is always friendly and good. We always book ahead. Congratulations to the owner and the team who consistently provide a 5 star experience

We had a fantastic meal here! 10/10 would recommend. It was so busy and we had not booked but staff managed to find us a table without any issues. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. The staff were so nice! If we were local, it would be one of my top places to eat at regularly.

Haven't been to one of these venues for a long time and we were so happy to find the buzz and atmosphere that makes them great, still here!! Me and my wife arrived with no pre booking and we got seated right away in the prison cell ( get in ). we were greeted by a lovely waitress who was attentive and very smiley. Food came quickly and was very tasty, we really enjoyed ours and the experience. Back again soon!!

Our first visit to Smith & Western in Chichester was fabulous. An all round excellent experience, in a very authentic cowboy and western setting. It was like being in a movie set. Carys, who served us was very attentive and helpful, especially regarding food suitable for me with a nut allergy. It was refreshing to hear how much she loved her job and spoke highly of the family owners. The food was very tasty and the toffee apple sundae was glorious. Would highly recommend if you'd like a meal out and different a experience. Thank you to all the staff and chefs.

Staff are amazing and service is one of the best we've been to at a restaurant. Balloons and colouring for the kids to keep them entertained. The interior and exterior kept well within the western theme and the small details all around were great. Great menu and kids choices and all was well priced. Great atmosphere with good country songs. The only thing I dropped a star for was i thought the food could have been a bit hotter as it was luke warm, but then it was Father's Day, so im guessing everything was made before and ready to come out straight away for a quick turnover. Would definitely come back again.

I came across this place searching on Google. What a find... The food was great and with a nice variety of food to choose from. I liked the decor and it's American theme. It's definitely a place I will recommend and visit again

great food great atmosphere and great friendly service will definitely be going back for special occasions everyone cleared their plates including the kids 👌

Perfect way to end our holiday!! My first time back for 18 years! Still as amazing as when I was a child! ❤️

A hidden Gem with fantastic atmosphere and service. The menu is extensive with an incredible choice of food that's hard to choose from. Looking forward to going back.

As a curry lover I'm always very keen to try out new restaurant experiences and made a first visit to Masala City a few weeks ago. In a word, excellent! Lovely atmosphere, service was great and the curry was outstanding. Am sure we'll be back soon!

Best Indian meal I've ever had, and I've had a lot. First of all the service was attentive but not overbearing, very polite. The portions were very generous to say the least. The presentation was modern and refreshing, pretty much like the decor. Then the quality was outstanding, full of flavour and well cooked. The cost was a little more (just a little) than some other local indian restaurants, but that is completely justified by the whole experience.

Excellent service 👍🏻. We had the Sunday night set menu. Parking in the Market car park 🏞️. Free 🆓 after five 🕔. Food was lovely 😍. Manager came to check ✔️ on us and the waiters very attentive. We enjoyed our meal and all the extras.

Love this Restaurant Food is fab, service is great. No problem recommending this place to eat.

Excellent meal freshly cooked and ample portions, probably one of the best curries i have ever eaten

Impeccable! I love Indian food and with travelling a lot for work I try to visit an Indian restaurant whenever I can. For the most part there food. Masala city however was fantastic! From the atmosphere and greeting when walking in to the food and service it was impeccable. You can tell it is managed well with customer service coming first. I even witnessed the manager commend his staff member when taking an order by memory perfectly. The waiter smiled from ear to ear! Good management! Then the food. Well the presentation was fantastic and the flavour brilliant. I have never had so much lamb in my dish. All I can say is try it and you won’t be dissatisfied. There is a pay and display car park at the rear but free from 8pm

Could not fault this restaurant. Had the 2 course lunch menu for £13. Portions size were massive but did not take from the quality. Don't know how they do such good food at this price. We had to ask for doggy bags as we couldn't finish it. If we had known we probably would have shared. Food was excellent and staff very friendly. They also brought out a cake and I don't mean a cupcake at the end for the birthday girl and offered us all a liquor free of charge. It couldn't have been better.

Quaint pub restaurant with recently upgraded outdoor area which will be perfect in the summer. The food here is INCREDIBLE! I've been a few times over the last year or so and have never found fault. The portion sizes are more than generous, so if you want pudding then take that into consideration! (You'll definitely want the sticky toffee pudding!) Great beer/ale/gin/cocktails/wine selection.

We went here and I had the steak hamburger. It was really good and was very big! The fries were also so good, and the diet coke was only £3! The service was pretty friendly and it had such a nice vibe to it!

Just popped in for a quick lunch bite and had the most amazing food and service. Pie of the day - Boeuf Bourguignon with delicious gravy Sea Bass with Crushed Potatoes, Fennel and Creamy Cider Sauce Happy Couple, happy dogs will be coming back soon!

An absolutely gorgeous pub with friendly staff, great service, and the best Sunday roast I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be back and recommending The George to others.

Absolutely brilliant as per! Great country pub and food was top notch. Staff friendly and very helpful, always recommend to everyone 10/10

This place is everything a good pub should be. The roast dinners are amazing, probably the best I have ever had eating out. Such a lovely, warm & cosy place. An hours drive for us, but so worth it. We will definitely be back!

We were treated to a delicious Sunday lunch today by our lovely niece and her husband. Good friendly service, lots of very tasty food. The only downside was the noise level from other diners enjoying themselves. We will be back.

We came to the Crab and Lobster as a recommendation and we really enjoyed it. For us the best is its location, sourounded by marsh/quay water that you can spot crabs, with trails around to walk and get a beer after in the pub. We only tried dessert and the Cheese cake was amazing but quite expensive. They have some tables outside, a garden and beautiful inside. Do book!

Came for a lunchtime meal. Had our eye on the halibut advertised on the online menu, thankfully it was available and we weren't disappointed. The pub dining area is stylish and in keeping. The staff friendly and professional, efficent and knowledgeable. The halibut was served with smashed potatoes, pal choi and a delicious this flavoured sauce, dish well balanced and cooked to perfection. We had the local Twinwoods bubbles to wash it down, which hit the spot and finished off with the rhubarb pavlova, which was so tasty. My mum said it's one of her best meals ever and as we were celebrating her 80th she has had a few meals! Thank you for a memorable meal

I love this place. The food is always fresh and delicious. The staff are so warm and inviting. The atmosphere is casual yet you feel like your somewhere special.

An absolutely stunning stay at the Crab and Lobster. We stayed in Crab cottage which is a beautiful 2 bedroom cottage with two bathrooms a very comfortable sitting room, a kitchen and lovely secret garden. The beds were comfortable, the views are epic and the little garden is a lovely escape. There were fancy toiletries, a fully equipped kitchen, fresh flowers in the sitting room. The breakfast included in your stay is first class. You can tell everything is painstakingly locally sourced. I had the Full English which came with eggs any style, black pudding, sausage, bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes. There were cereals, fresh juice, tea, coffee toast. Just about anything you could imagine. It was fantastic. All the staff are polite, friendly and helpful and the owner is a fountain of local knowledge. I would highly recommend staying here. And then I come to dinner in the pub. Flawless. You can tell they have the pick from their fish supplier. It was so fresh, beautifully prepared and tasted amazing. I thought the cod and chorizo fish cakes were flawless and the brill with brown crab risotto was one of the best dishes I have had all year. My wife reports that the lobster was the best she has had. There is a good fairly priced wine list. The staff are friendly and helpful. I think this could be summarised as classic gastro pub that lives up to that billing. I highly recommend it.

My first visit to Crab & Lobster, a series of lunches with my father as we look for the good and great of Sussex pubs or restaurants. Haven't been to Sidlesham for 20 years and fond memories of an old pub serving local crab sandwiches... Roll on 20 years and WOW. We sat on arrival and instantly asked if we want a drink and menus. Good wine list and soft drinks available. I went off the table d'hote (fixed menu) and others went pick n mix from a la carte. Fixed menu choices were very good and enjoyed each course, Pork Liver Terrine was superb and then the Cod Loin on a chowder style sauce was one of the best fish dishes I have eaten... then the glutton arrived and I couldn't resist the sound of Rhubarb pavlova with Chantilly cream, delicious and decadent way to finish what was a great lunch. The a la carte choices included an open Kelsey crab sandwich, hot smoked trout and some cod & chorizo fish cakes, clean plates all around! The kitchen team and front of house clearly know what they are doing, gliding and smiling with confidence and charm, big thank you to all. We will be back.

Excellent food. Had starters, main and dessert plus wine. All courses were first class. Highly recommend

The food was excellent but the service was hit and miss - it took a long time before our orders were taken; two other tables (who arrived after us) had their orders well before ours.

Review of Christmas Dinner at The Gribble Inn, Oving We recently visited The Gribble Inn in Oving, near Chichester, for an early Christmas dinner, and it was our first time dining here. We usually review breakfasts at various locations, but this time we were excited to experience a festive meal in such a charming location. The Gribble Inn is beautiful, with its original log beams and delightful Christmas decorations, which set the perfect festive mood. As history enthusiasts, we found the age of the building fascinating. Originally not an inn, the property was transformed into the Gribble Inn after the passing of local teacher Rose Gribble in 1980. Local farmer Peter Hague converted the cottage into an inn and, in 1987, moved the local five-barrel brewery to the property. The brewery still operates today, and the ales can be enjoyed at the inn. Our Christmas dinner experience began with a delicious starter of Cured Salmon, Dill & Caper Timbale, and Pickled Red Onion Salad. It was a new dish for me, but I’m so glad I chose it. It was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented—a perfect start to our festive meal. For the main course, we both opted for the Turkey Roulade wrapped in bacon, filled with pork and cranberry stuffing, and served with traditional trimmings. Initially, I thought the portion seemed small for the price, but I was wrong! The dish was hearty and satisfying, with roast potatoes, glazed carrots, parsnips, sausage wrapped in bacon, and a generous serving of turkey roulade. It was absolutely delicious, and I barely managed to finish it. Of course, we couldn’t resist dessert. There were several tempting options, but we both went for the Crème Brûlée, which was simply divine. For £8, it was excellent value, and chocolate lovers will definitely fall for this indulgent treat. We also ordered from the children's menu for our little one, who chose the Fish and Chips. The portion size was perfect, with fish, chips, peas, and tartare sauce, all of which were thoroughly enjoyed. At £8, it was a great deal for a kid’s meal. The atmosphere at The Gribble Inn was warm and inviting, with plenty of original features and a lovely Christmas ambiance. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcomed, offering excellent one-to-one service. Overall, The Gribble Inn proved to be a wonderful spot for our Christmas dinner. The food was exceptional, the atmosphere was festive, and the service was top-notch. If you haven’t been here yet and enjoy good-quality food in a historic setting, it should definitely be on your list of places to visit!

Gribble Inn, what an amazing pub near Chichester. We loved absolutely everything about the place. Really welcoming and cosy atmosphere. Really nice selection of food and drinks. Very polite staff, nothing was a problem to accommodate for us. The food was absolutely delicious, definitely worth the money. I couldn't even eat it all, but I had to took take it away as it would be shame to leave behind. They also brew their own beer. It's a must try! Took 1 litre into a plastic bottle with us to enjoy after our journey back home. The outdoor garden was very pleasant as well. Overall, when we are around next time, we will definitely come again. It's such a shame you're 3 hours away from us. Lovely gem for anyone living nearby - 5* is not enough! See you next time ×)

A first visit since 2011 and had no memory of having been before. What a great pub! Such friendly service - we were a party of 8 - throughout our Saturday afternoon stay. We ate in the snug room to the left of the entrance. The food was delicious - we had a wide range of starters and main courses. The gribble microbrewery didn't have too many offerings which was a shame but the Hoppy Days was an excellent beer.

One of the best pubs I’ve ever been to, with fantastic service, atmosphere, and Sunday roast! Loved it—the Yorkshire pudding was just perfect, as was everything else! We were a large group, and the host accommodated us in a spacious private room—superb!

Sunday lunch was one of the best we had for a long time, just don't have breakfast as the portion is XL. The staff were very friendly and couldn't help enough. Also, they have a great range of their own beer, which taste great. The only downside is that we don't live close enough to go to each week!

We visited on a very busy Saturday as part of a large group of friends. All the tables were full and the staff found us somewhere nice to sit 🪑. Our Starters all arrived at the same time as did our mains which was impressive with it being a full house 🏠. Staff were great and dealing with the customers in a friendly and polite manner. Food 🥝🥑 was lovely 🌹 and we recommend the Pork Belly. 🐷. Good choice of beer 🍺 some of them brewed on site.

Amazing place! Smiley, friendly and beautiful staff. Plenty of staff too I will add! I had the biggest whitebait I've ever seen for a starter. I loved how most of the meals you could have a small or large portion. I had small ham eggs and chippies and it was just right on top of a starter. The price was fair considering there was plenty of lovely staff. We will definitely be visiting again.

Let’s get this out the way first and foremost. CURRY HOUSE SIN #1 - charging for papadoms!! £1.10 per. But they broke rule #2 also and charged us for the dips ! £18 gone already. Anyway, Monday banquet meal at £22 per person felt decent value. And the food was good but the next day we all had a bit of gas and one guy even had to go home early from work as it was “coming out both ends”. Sorry to say it but that’s the truth. So mixed feelings on this one, food and service were good but paying for it afterwards felt like an extra none of us wanted.

Consistently excellent food. Best Indian food in the area. Have come here multiple times and it never disappoints. Everything from the taste of the food to the portion sizes to the service makes for a great meal out. Perfect place for special occasions with people who love a curry.

This is by far the best Indian food ive eaten in the area. The portions are generous with lots of succulent meat, really tasty sauces and well presented. Ive been a few times and each dish tastes very different. I wouldn't say its expensive, its worth the money for how sensational it tastes. It is a byo which will save money. 2 people with starters and mains and a soft drink is about 25-30 each. Would recommend.

This place was a find. I have had one of the best, if not the best, curries I have ever had. 5 of us ate and each dish looked, smelled and tasted different. The sides were equally good and rbe Monday Night banquet was excellent value for money. Lovely restaurant setting too. The staff were so friendly and accommodating and there were those little extras here and there that really make the experience. Whilst a relaxed experience, I liked the nod to formality: nothing came out that wasn't served on a plate, even a straw. Really cannot recommend enough.

Came in for a takeaway after a long day out and not wanting to cook. Staff were lovely and very accommodating. 15 minute wait for meals for 3 of us, we were given chocolates while waiting and given a few freebies with our order. Only issue is the food is a bit pricey but it was very delicious! Will definitely be back

We were staying at the Butlins around the corner and I decided to walk into town to find an Indian. They were about a 20 minute walk which I didn't find an issue, when I got back to our hotel the food was still hot. I felt the food was tasty, good size portions. The premises has a nice interior however when I went they hadn't been open long so I don't know how busy it gets but would recommend if your staying near by.

Great food and service. We went on Monday night which is banquet night and a great deal for £22. Was relatively quiet on the night we went which is surprising. Worth a visit and I will be coming back at some point.

Great location. Lovely building. Food choice limited especially if you’re wanting to be healthy. Food not great. Chicken bits had definitely been defrosted in the microwave. Squid had virtually no chilli sauce on and halloumi had too much sauce which made it taste off. I left most of it. Staff demotivated with long queues and wait for food. Tables sticky. Such a shame, it could be much much better. I won’t be back.

Stopped off in this pub for a couple of drinks after going to the Pallant Gallery while waiting for the train back to London, we ordered a bowl of chips with our drinks. The chips were £4 pounds and undercooked. After eating what we could, we were spoken to by one of the waitresses who proceeded to tell us without invitation that over in the USA they were dimming the sun by spreading chemicals through chemtrails and that Bill Gates and his cabal were responsible. It was throroughly uncomfortable as we didn't order a side of half baked conspiracy theories with our underdone chips. I would not recommend.

I visited the pub yesterday with my partner. We ordered a steak sandwich & a fish goujon sandwich. My steak sandwich was dreadful. It consisted of two slices of dry bread with four small pieces of meat and a lot of mustard and some dried up tasteless onions. The cost was £10.95. very poor value. The fish sandwich was not a lot better. Although the food was disappointing I can't fault the staff who were very pleasant and helpful. Such a shame the food lets them down.

I’ve been coming to this pub for a while and every time I am greeted by the warm friendly Sarah! This makes my overall experience so enjoyable and I will proceed to keep coming back! Especially while Sarah’s working here!

We found the staff staff very accommidating friendly Our room was fantastic beautiful done out heated towel rail in the shower room tea and coffee in our room to We loved the location central to everything we had bed and breakfast Breakfast was really good we will return

Came in yesterday with my girlfriend and had a Steak sandwich spoke to the chef as passing to the toilet and told her how lovely it was she said her name was Caroline, so polite and friendly a great worker at Trent’s will definitely eat there again 10/10

Such lovely staff, made us feel really welcome and the food was lovely. Would absolutely come back!

We booked a table for 4 to celebrate a birthday, we arrived 10 minutes early, we got our drinks from the bar and was then shown to our table. We were the first customers there. We were given menus and left to select our food. 10 minutes later a couple arrived, 5 minutes later another couple arrived and then 3 other couples arrived. Within a few moments every other table was served but not us, we waited and waited, we ended up waiting 25 minutes before we decided to leave. We walked past the staff who said nothing. There were plenty of staff on duty. So well staffed in fact that they had time to stand around chatting. I have never experienced anything like this! I would also like to add that the menu had very few choices, apparently because it was a Thursday! Absolutely dreadful, we wouldn’t go back if they paid us!

We chose Crouchers Hotel as the venue for our Wedding Reception for a variety of reasons. It is a lovely setting by Chichester Canal, easy to get to from Chichester Station by taxi or bus, has beautiful gardens, and we knew the food was exceptional. But most of all because Catherine was very open to our ideas and nothing was too much trouble. She instinctively knew what was needed to make the day go smoothly and happily. And so we had the most wonderful day – the food was excellent, the venue beautifully decorated, the service impeccable, the staff friendly, and everyone had the best time, including us. Catherine took all the stress away from our big day and even took photographs to share. We were allowed to have our own music and to set up a croquet set. It is now somewhere we will go to regularly to remember our special day.

Love this place! Had such a relaxing evening here last week, the service was fantastic and couldn’t fault the food, it was delicious. Calming ambience and lovely team, we will definitely be back :)

Had lunch here. Very pleasant. Dog friendly - ate in the bar area (full menu). Food was excellent, as was the service. Charged-up my car over lunch - located adjacent to hotel reception (50Kw - Polar network).

Nice food great atmosphere and music with friendly staff

Surprisingly good food, had the duck and it was cooked perfectly. Dish was put together extremely well, quite inventive executed flawlessly. Very happy. Service was slow to get drinks but I appreciate the nightmare that all restaurants have at the moment with trying to get/retain staff. Cocktails were nice too.

I spoke with the fabulous Catherine about arranging a garden party for the Local Ladies members club and she put on the most fabulous event for me. The canapés were delicious, the drinks were great and the service was amazing. We enjoyed a few games of french boules & prosecco pong (that I brought along). The staff were all very friendly and full of smiles despite having a busy day with other functions going on, they did an amazing job. The gardens are stunning with plenty of outside seating, gazebos etc- such a great venue for an event. Highly recommend! Thank-you everyone for making our day so special.

The chef's skill, talent and imagination come together to produce beautiful tasty dishes. Some unusual combinations, such as gooseberries and pork, show real inventiveness. The service was professional, attentive and unobtrusive. Nicely laid out interior decoration.

Superb food, very friendly staff, reasonable price. We recommend the scallops and cheesecake. I would definitely visit again.

Whilst the outside is rather inauspicious, sitting as it does by a busy bypass, inside this is a fantastic restaurant. The service is friendly and welcoming, and the food is some of the best I've eaten and at a great price. Everything on the plate - from first course to dessert - was meant to be there and added to the dish. The plum sauce on the pork was particularly delicious. Highly recommended.

Really lovely food and great service, fantastic wine selection.

My only slight criticism is that the place could do with a little redecorating but I imagine after the last couple of years that expenditure isn't a high priority. I can get over that as the food was fantastic. For the quality of food, prices were very reasonable. Would highly recommend the pork main and the peach dessert. We had such a great evening of eating with some lovely wine. We will definitely be back!
