Arundel House in Arun

We stayed and ate in the evening with them. Our room was beautiful, lovely linen, and towels a really calm space! Yes it is in the centre of Arundel but we were surprised by how little we could hear traffic. We had a cheeseboard and beautiful salami’s beautifully served, we were told where everything was from, lovely wines to choose from, they certainly exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be back, run by a really lovely couple. Breakfast was continental but again locally sourced and first class

A perfect evening. We went to House Arundel this evening for my birthday. We had a lovely bottle of rosé and some delicious cheeses (which we chose from a wide selection) and saucissons. The staff were so friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. The dining room has a lovely atmosphere, we will definitely go back.

Excellent food staff very helpful and very attentive great restaurant well worth checking out food fresh and plentiful sweet selection was excellent very reasonable priced will visit again soon

Meget hyggelig lokale med desto hyggeligere betjening.Nyåpnet (gjenåpnet) for 3-4 uker siden.Vi spiste begge to salat med chevre (geitost) og vi ble IKKE skuffet.God porsjon salat med rikelig (to store skiver) geitost som perfekt karamellisert.Absolutt verd et besøk om man stopper i Arundale og skal ha mat før eller etter besøk på slottet/festningen.

We were a party of 4 , and all chose differently. we were all pleased with our selections, and it was nice to see a menu reflecting seasonal food.

This is a little gem right in the centre of Arundel. So clean and well equipped we had the most amazing stay. I'd recommend this 100% This is accommodation only there is no eating facilities.

Delightful small restaurant for lunch.We had the dressed crab which had been freshly brought in that morning. This was perfectly prepared, presented, served with salad and warm fresh bread and perfectly chilled Champagne.The table setting with linen and fine glassware was exemplary.All very very reasonably priced. The individual service was complimented by the charming helpful owner/manager.A delightful experience, which we will repeat next time.

We left the castle and headed into town, popped into a few antique shops , and then spotted the red lion,as it was such a lovely day we sat outside in the beer garden,we placed our order for lunch ,and within a short while it was delivered to our table, and i must say a very good presentation, and the taste was just as good , big thumbs up,

Have visited many times in the last few years and ways had excellent meals.The owner has recently changed the style of menu, starters are still fantastic but the main courses are lacking. I had hassleback potatoes and a huge amount of carrots, a few beans and asparagus with my main meal recently. The hassleback potatoes were not as I know them, just boiled potatoes with slits in them and I couldnt eat all the carrots, I felt like a rabbit. Desert was good but the chef needs to re think his veg.All in all just too much food.

A wonderful find, we both had a seafood platter which was fresh and delicious, it came with the nicest bread I’ve eaten in ages and salad. The owner was so friendly and satand chatted with us , the waitress was just as nice. Lovely china, cutlery, glasses and tablecloths. Definitely heading back for the dressed crab.

Visited for Sunday lunch and found it a lovely experience. The House and it's decor are beautiful and it has a wonderfully serene atmosphere. The menu is simple, light and very suitable for lunch on a hot, sunny day. Service was excellent and the food was fresh and attractively served. The bread offered was fresh and tasty. We had no room for the delicious sounding puddings. We will hopefully visit again soon.

What can I say?With absolutely beautiful decor & furnishings - Arundel House has an antique styling, but with all the necessary 'mod cons' provided, creates a relaxing ambiance that makes for a totally relaxing stay away from home, be it for a quick night or two away - or a longer visit. The proprietor, a lovely lady - Kim, is very accommodating, with nothing seemingly being too much trouble. The restaurant is open weekdays for afternoon teas & snacks & evening events (including west end show nights) are a frequent occurrence - the food is excellent & well worth booking for! Centrally located, you most certainly could not go wrong here!

We visited Arundel House for a Saturday Cabaret evening with Julie Stardust; this was our first visit here . We were greeted with complimentary champagne and the evening just got better and better.Kim , the owner , has created a fabulous dining environment . The table setting is excellent with fresh white table linen , crystal glassware and a high quality feel to everything. We were offered a set three course menu with a choice of starters . mains and desserts . Everything was superb and the portion sizes were perfect.The time flew by and we can't wait for the next one.

fabulous, this restaurant is old school, Kim the owner makes your very welcome, unfortunately been really busy to return lately . I love it

Called in on the offchance for dinner while we were away for the weekend. Limited menu but food was 'amazing'; service and welcome were superb and cost was very reasonable. Small shop included in this restaurant and the glassware was really good and honestly priced. We enjoyed our first night there so much we went back the second night and tried something difference on the menu which was also superb. Apparently they do rooms as well and I know where we will be booking next time. A Must if in Arundel.,

For good food in an intimate, warm, welcoming environment this place is hard to beat. The food is always top notch and well complemented by an extensive wine list with some excellent options edging towards the adventurous. I always look forward to coming here, and recommend it.

I really wanted to give a poor view of Arundel House, in order that the cat isn't let out of the bag!!!

Stayed for one night whilst visiting the Goodwood Revival. The room was bright and airy with a good sized en-suite and a large four poster bed. The only real downside was that there was no wardrobe to hang our clothes in. We had to hang them on the back our our bedroom door, ok for one night but not so sure if you were staying for longer, also the room, (No 4) could benefit from a larger TV. That said, we had a great stay and booked in for dinner. The menu had a good selection and the food was well cooked and presented and served by very pleasant staff. Unfortunately, they do not do breakfast, but there are a couple of good cafes only a few minutes walk away. There is also a shop attached to the hotel selling very good quality glassware and assorted items. Purchased a 12" cake stand for £85, looked up the company on our return home....list price £395, so grab yourself a bargain. Looking to visit Arundel again to explore the area and would have no hesitation in staying again or recommending it to others.

We stayed two nights in the Arundel House rooms and the room was clean and the bed very large and comfy.  The location is great. Right in the heart of the town just 3 mins walk from the castle entrance. NB. Google puts the location at the top of the High Street when it is at the bottom just before the bridge.

We booked a table for 8pm and was running late rang and the lady was very helpful and said arrive when we were able . Lovely inside and the food was really good wasn't overpriced will definitely return .Thank you .The steak pie was yummy .Faultless .

Dining here is a good experience restaurant is small but beautifully decorated and tables are well set, food menu is full of good dishes and the wine list is very extensive,Kim the owner is very charming and efficient

The set-price lunch I had at Arundel House was excellent value. Each course was delicious - especially the entree - and was nicely presented. Serves were generous and the decor was very attractive. I would happily return.

An incredible starter for two of crayfish and chicken parfait. A main of guinea fowl and sea bass. All cooked to perfection at an incredible value. The ambiance and attention to detail are top notch. Great hosts. A great restaurant.

Locals tended to avoid this location, because it carried the reputation of previous ownership. But we were amazed to find that under the ownership and supervision of Kim, this is now in our opinion the best eating place in Arundel and is amazingly good value as well. Really impressed last night after our second visit. This really is the place to go if you want good food and terrific value. This is also a small hotel. All l can say is "lucky guests"!!

Probably the best kept secret in Arundel! Amazing service, wonderful food! Great value! Decor is a great mixture! Very intimate restaurant!

We visited the Arundel House restaurant today and it was fantastic. The food was great, the atmosphere was relaxed and idillic and the wine list was the final touch. The service and attention was professional and friendly till the very end. Spoke to Kim the owner who said they are now open for breakfast, another excuse to visit. We will have to visit again sooner rather than later....

We had a superb Sunday lunch, in this friendly small restaurant. The menu was superb and interestingly present, we arrived early without booking, but any later in the day we would not have had a table. There is an antique shop upstairs with inexpensive pieces to finish off your day. The breads were stunning.

A good atmosphere and service. An excellent choice of menus and the food tasted and looked wonderful.

Four of us visited Arundel House restaurant for an evening meal. The welcome was very friendly and the dining area was very nice. The menu was a la carte on Saturdays, there is a set menu during the week £30. It was hard making up our mind everything looked delicious. I had the Mackerel starter and Duck main. The food was simply superb every course was great. Not one of us could fault any dish. The ambience was was lovely and we never felt rushed. Three courses with wine was roughly £35 per head. What a bargain. We shall certainly be back.

A perfect Sunday lunch last weekend ! There is a sense of space and luxury about this restaurant, without being overstated, but how do they achieve two fabulous courses for just £20.50? A brief moment of 'food envy' when two guests' Bloody Mary dressed crayfish dishes were presented, but thankfully a forgotten moment when our caramelised goats cheese starters arrived. A generous portion of unctuous goats cheese on translucent slices of pickled beetroot, leaves, pesto and candied walnuts. Delicious ! The cray fish also had zingy 'prosecco' or lemon gel.Mains were a tarragon mouse stuffed supreme of chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce, with two of us going for the 'how would you like that cooked' rump of lamb. Beautifully tender lamb with the best roast potatoes. All washed down with a really superb Yealands NZ Pino Gris. A wonderful Sunday lunch, thank you.

Visited this restaurant for the first time to experience one of their music evenings - loved it so much, we are going back with friends this Friday for another one....Gorgeous food, very good service and the atmosphere is lovely - really enjoyed the songs - very enjoyable evening - would thoroughly recommend !

We went to this restaurant this weekend with friends, I have to say we were most impressed, the welcome from Kim was friendly and welcoming, we were seated Immediately and drinks orders taken.the overall atmosphere was one of contentment , it was a pleasure to be seated in this wonderful restaurant . The menu is not extensive, but I buy into, do why you do and do it well, this restaurant does this in spade loads, the food was simply some of the best I have eaten, the beef in my opinion is second to none. A meal for four with two bottles of wine two of these meals were three course for less than £180 is great value. Go and try it you won't be disappointed. Thanks Kim, we had a great time, we hope to we you again soon.

A warm welcome on arrival to this very pretty restaurant with rooms. We didn't stay over but had the most superb meal we've eaten in years, tasty, beautifully cooked and wonderfully presented. The singer, Lisa Stardust, was great; friendly and charming as well as entertaining. The atmosphere is so relaxing it feels as though you're in a true friend's home. We can't wait to return.

We went in by chance. Really lovely atmosphere and well cared for. Fresh bread to start and a good range of starters. The lamb and spinach main meal was tender. Peanut butter ice cream and salted caramel sweet was divine.The restaurant has a lovely homely atmosphere and Kim the owner gives a service above average. She is attentive and accommodating without being over the top. The decor looks like an antique shop and is quant, inviting and clean. A must

First time in this cosy restaurant.excellent food,great service with a warm welcome.we went for the £16-95 for two courses and a glass of wine!!!We will be back!!

We are regular visitors to Arundel House and have always had excellent food and service. Took a small party for Sunday lunch and it was really excellent. Proper roast potatoes, amazing beef and fabulous home made Yorkshire puds. As always service was first class but meal was exceptional. Looking forward to the next time.

Lovely restaurant layout, loved the glassware and quaint feel that it had. Food was impossible to fault, each course was delicious and service was excellent .Found it by chance as we're not local, but we'll definitely return !

One of my regular favourites in Arundel. The restaurant has a very warm feeling to it and I like the unique 'chintzy' tableware which is reflective of Kim's attention to detail. Lovely bread to start with and a menu that has a traditional background but with a modern twist. Service is first class. Every meal here has been a great experience.

A beautiful, welcoming small restaurant with superb ambience and fabulous food. We were made to feel very welcome as soon as we walked through the door.Pristine white cloths on the table with lovely cut glass candle holders adding to the atmosphere.We chose from the set menu which offers two or three courses and had something for everyone.I chose scallops to start, which were cooked to perfection, followed by duck which was some of the nicest I have eaten. Dessert was peanut butter semifreddo-delicious!The food was of a very high standard and beautifully presented with just the right amount of time between courses.Cannot recommend too highly-you leave this place feeling like you have been given a big hug.Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for somewhere special.

Visited for lunch between Christmas and New Year. Had been meaning to try this restaurant, and were very pleasantly surprised by the high standard of the food and very attentive service. Everything was done with an attention to detail that reflected the owner's length of experience in the restaurant trade. My partner's scallop starter and my crab salad were both delicious and inventive, with original twists that took them out of the ordinary, as were his lamb and my duck confit main course. The puddings were equally worthy of our attention, and when my partner asked for a glass of dessert wine, a Stellenbosch was suggested which went superbly with his semifreddo. The lunch menu was extremely good value, and we will definitely be returning to sample the evening a la crate menu and some more of the wonderful lunch menus. Can definitely recommend!

After a very big disappointment at Amberley Castle for the rip off dinner, here at Arundel House the food was perfection , three course was very good, with Kim, the host was friendly and attentive, even one of our friends tried to give her a hard time, jokenly, she succeeded to service us with excellence, would defintly eat and probley stay in the rooms above

If you want a small, cosy, beautifully decorated restaurant.... this is it. It is also very romantic if you come in the evening. I absolutely loved it. The food is fabulous and the presentation is great. The service is friendly, professional and efficient. We went on a music evening and it was just lovely. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. I have been twice before and I have never been disappointed.

we have visited Arundel house a number of times and every time the food is just incredible. I had the chicken liver parfait which is just amazing. my daughter had the pumkin and parmesan soup which she said was the best soup she'd ever had. for main I had the lamb which again was to die for! my husband had the fillet steak cooked to perfection! the desserts we absolutely delicious .salted caramel fondant was a favourite with us. all the icecreams/sorbets that went with them were so good. everything we ate was homemade and tasted amazing. we all thoroughly enjoyed our meal. the place itself is a little on the small side but typical quaint Arundel restaurant and very nice vintage feel. the service for drinks was a little slow but we will keep going back as the food is the best in the area and we do love to eat out a lot.This is top class fine dining. if you haven't tried it,go and see for yourselves. you will certainly be impressed by the high standard of food.highly recommended

I have to say it is difficult to put this restaurant into a bracket.The decor is interesting, unusual, quite loud, going back to the upper class sixties style. Hostess was friendly and efficient. The new waitress (her first day) had no idea what to do, where to stand or how to serve ( no prior training methinks)Starter was great, scallops with pea purée. The main of Cod was very nice, the sweet however was too large, a lemon posset, served with raspberry sorbet, which did not go with the posset at all!I think it was good value for the money, I would come back again.

Today we had an amazing meal in beautiful surroundings in the very heart of Arundel. The main course Lamb was perfectly cooked with the sweet breads and shoulder deep fried separately. Heaven! The Christmas pudding was home made and delicious as was the cheesecake. The overall eating experience is fantastic value for money for top notch food. Oops missed the house Malbec wine, lovely blackberry overtones a glass or two a must with the Lamb.

Went there a couple of weeks ago. We all squeezed around our table which was a few inches against the wall. The table was so close to the table behind us that every time our partners needed to get down from the table they had to ask the people behind to stand up from their chairs to make room. The meal: I had pate - not home made - a slab on a slate with some bread and chutney. Main course - I ordered turkey. This arrived not as slices of turkey but more like a turkey roll, no stuffing, 6 Brussels which were not cooked enough, a sausage and charlotte potato. Desert - ordered Christmas pudding - this was a tiny catering slab which was microwaved too much so it was chewy. The bill - £42 ! This was excluding drinks. Now I have just been to the Arun View in Littlehampton which served the best Christmas lunch I have had. Beautiful turkey, stuffing, sausage, parsnips, Brussels sprouts, Swede, cauliflower, roast potatoes. Desert was Christmas pudding with brandy custard which was so delicious and all for £18.

Think we have just found the most enchanting resturant the tables have the most beautiful glass ware I have ever seen plus white table clothes and Napkin's! The food is outstanding the hostess Kim just charming!! Its small intimate and just beautifully decorated!! Well worth a visit!!

Decor, furniture and furnishing great..traditional styling...bed really comfortable...restaurant busy at lunch fully booked for dinner...unusual feature two rooms done out as antique shops...doesn't do breakfast....no parking but only 4 mins walk to large car park

My wife and I recently visited the Arundel House for dinner. The table settings are fantastic and the food presentation must be seen to believed. Thank you to the owner Kim for making us feel special.

Very nice, we have enjoyed it a lot, great food, cosy and warm, thank you for a lovely evening!!! xx

Just the place to come if you need a food hit. Best value for quality food in Sussex let alone Arundel.

Four of us went there on a Saturday night. Starters of scallops had by 3 of us was very good. Main courses were a mixture of steaks and fish which were excellent. The menu is quite small but I believe there is something for everyone. Prices were reasonable and service was very good. Worth giving a try.

First time here for dinner. We were warmly welcomed and quickly seated at our table. The menu is not extensive however what we had we enjoyed and the quality was very good. I did get the impression though that my request for slight changes to the dish were an annoyance. That said my meal came as requested. The wine menu is ok yet the knowledge of the server to suggest /recommend wines was not great.. Good meal, a bit on the expensive side. Lovely decor and a pleasant ambience.

Accommodation fine, with nice bathroom area.Delicious fine dining.Owner Kim welcoming and attentive.Nice "feel" to this establishment.Would happily come again.

During our week in Arundel, we ate at Arundel House, The Town House (unbelievably delicious chocolate dessert but very steep price), The Bay Tree, and The Parson's Table. Arundel House was by far and away our favorite... loved the food, the ambiance, the service and the price wasn't as much as we spent at other restaurants with less tasty food. We returned to Arundel House for last meal of the vacation and it was just as good as the first time. Highly recommend!!

We were staying in Arundel for Goodwood Revival weekend, and after a full-on day needed something to top it off! We managed to squeeze in at the last minute, and had a really lovely Dinner. The choice ample, generous, and the quality top class. We loved the Tasting of Pork, and the Beef Fillet. And the service was calm and thoughtful. We went back the following night :)

Had a grumpy DRUNK woman serving us who was insanely rude. Between taking our orders, without any service skills whatsoever, she would down a glass on wine. Food wasn't bad but service and atmosphere was by far the worst I've experienced

Have been here a few times in recent months and love it! Kim, the owner, is a fantastic hostess with just the right level of attentiveness. Food has always been excellent - the chips are amazing that come with the steaks. Love the quirky coloured wine glasses etc. Just a great place!

The food was very well presented but not special. The restaurant wants the cobwebs removing as we had several spiders watching us dine from the corner of the ceiling above our table and had obviously been there for several sittings! One of the wine glasses had two chips on the rim so attention to detail was lacking a little bit.

This restaurant is a rare find, the ambience, decor and of course the fantastic food, beautifully served and delicious. Restaurant owner Kim was very hospitable and we felt very comfortable would recommend a visit as we arrived one of the other diners said "you are in for a real treat " and she was absolutely right. We will definitely return

Just excellent..what more is there needed to be said. Kim the Proprietress understands customer service and it shows.Cannot recommend this establishment enough. Cuisine quality and delivery excellent as is the ambiance of the personally decorated house.Have not stayed in accommodation but would be shocked if it was less than excellent

Just met the grumpy waitress lol. Not really this is my second visit and all the staff and owner are fantastic. There was even live music. Great food great staff great position. Highly recommended.

Wonderful lunch...superb food...definitely the best in Arundel and probably in West Sussex...great service...a real quality find

lovely food, great service, and very good value.crab and tuna tartar starter just fab, and the duck perfect

This resturant is charming & elegant The food is superb it's fresh tasty and locally sourced My husband & I have eaten here many a time especially when we've friends over or family lunches The lunches are very good value for money and have great choice for small or more substantional plate Staff are very friendly and service is top Certainly worth a visit I advise to book on a weekend We are very lucky to live in town

Had a surprise birthday lunch with a friend today and it was absolutely wonderful. The presentation of the food was top class and the taste was even better. The little touches on the tables makes this a really special place with coloured crystal glasses etc. I would definitely recommend it for a special occasion.

Recently we were invited to a friend's 50th birthday at the Arundel House Restuarant. It was an amazing venue. We all received a very warming welcome on arrival by the owner and her waitress's. The menu choices was excellent which made it hard to choose but finally went for a great starter, followed by a mouth watering main and to ". die for" sweet. The quality and quantity was way above one's expectations and of course well and truly great value. My wife and I will be booking a table to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary, which will be in September. We both will strongly recommend this restaurant to all friends and family.

My wife and I have eaten at the Arundel House restaurant since moving into the area some months back. The dining rooms look and feel like you are eating 5 star food at home! The meals are always cooked to perfection and seasoned so well that there is no need for salt and pepper at the table. Kim, the owner is incredibly friendly and makes you feel right at home.Keep up the great work!!We will be back again and again.

This is our favourite restaurant in Arundel. The food is consistently excellent for dinner and lunch and we eat here regularly. It never misses a beat and Kim is a great host

Well worth a visit if eating out in Arundel. The opulent interior design may not suit all tastes but they have the most comfortable chairs I've ever found in a restaurant. Food was delicious...a main of duck breast was cooked to perfection. Would definitely go back.

The style and opulence of the restaurant hits you when you first walk in: white linen, classy glassware and lovely seating all in view as you walk through the door. You feel straight away that you are going to eat well and enjoy the experience. We spent approx 2 + hours there and surprised how easy that time went by for a lunch session. The roast options were fabulous and puddings to enjoy at every bite .... Altogether the bill for 3 persons (including a glass of Champagne) bottle of wine and 3 courses (for two) was excellent value ..Approx. £35 per head. The service was pleasant and attentive but left alone to relax and this is confidence in their food and ambience and such a refreshing change from those overtly pesky places who partake in Americanisms of ...'missing you already'.... Defiantly worth a visit but ....BOOK ahead as popular. No parking so take extra time to find somewhere! Enjoy :)

What a lovely restaurant we arrived early and met the chef, boy can he cook. The whole setting reminded me of the older style French restaurants you get in Paris. All the cutlery laid out and beautiful cut glasses, makes such a difference to a G&T The food is Michelin standard and plenty to eat. Can't wait to come again.

We visited for the first time and we loved it. We were warmly welcomed by a very nice lady who reminded me of Emma Thompson. She had rearranged the furniture to get us all into one room for a 90th Birthday Party. The setting was lovely and assisted by an equally helpful young waitress everything went like a well oiled clock.The food could not be surpassed and there was a wonderful choice.The set Sunday lunch menu was very reasonable and I can say that I had not tasted better.I must say that some of the party had a reputation for sending the food back for the slightest reason but not here,everyone was in food heaven from our 90 year old to my 6 year old grandson.He can be a little ill at ease in a strange setting but as soon as our host greeted him he succumbed to the magical,warm,atmosphere just like the rest of us!Absolutely nothing could have been bettered and we were spellbound ! Thank you Nanny McPhee!

We were taken to this restaurant on Friday night and it is just a fantastic experience. The owner is lovely and the staff so helpful and courteous, the food was to die for - just beautiful with fabulous presentation. We were given a lovely private room upstairs which just made our evening as we could catch up on all our events without shouting but still felt involved. Thank you for a wonderful evening and we shall definitely return. There are also a few rooms for people who would like a lovely weekend in Arindel Strongly recommend the experience. Yours Jacky & Greville English

This will be my 3rd or 4th visit, and probably the best, the food was absolutely delightful, and so reasonably priced compared to other Arundel fine restaurants, I said it before and I will say it again, its hard to see why this is not rated higher. I think one the best places to eat in Arundel. Location is great, ambience lovely that creates a nice atmosphere. Hard to fault.

May look old on the inside, but the food is right up to date. Love it so much have booked it for my wife's birthday, and I am very hard to please.

We stayed in the hotel for the second time within 6months. Loved it the first time, loved it the second time. Loads of character, great host and extremely friendly. We will see you again!

Very comfortable , pretty table with colouredarray of glasses ! Food was well presented and very tasty , generous portion. Friendly good service by the owner . Plenty to choose from the menu , plus a two / three course menu

We where very exciting and looking forward to eating at the this restaurant. The decor was excellent and to our taste. All the staff where friendly and the food was excellent. My evening which was our 25th wedding anniversary was upset by the tables being to close together. So a table of 6 appeared and it took them 10 minutes and I am not kidding to decide who was going to sit where. They where very loud and didn't have a thought for other customers eating and wanting a romantic evening.The poor waitress couldn't serve our food to us without squeezing between chairs with hot plates. The owner manager did notice our predicament, and should have offered us another table or even a drink at the end of the meal. The best bit was when we came to pay. My husband offered his card and was told that she only took cash and there was a ATM machine round the corner. We didn't even have a proper bill. Washing up wasn't not on my list of things to do whilst in Arundel and we feel that this should have been made clear at booking. Would I go there again I am not sure, depends how close the tables where as I know you cant choose your clients.

It's not often I can say "not only love the food but love the place with it" The ambiance is lovely as long as you like going back in time, All tables have there own light that makes a warm atmosphere. Will be going back to try some of the other dishes.

Booked at the last minute on a Saturday afternoon for Saturday dinner. We had a table in one of the little rooms upstairs, for the main restaurant downstairs was full, and it was absolutely charming. A classic and elegant looking restaurant, with beautiful contemporary cuisine and superb service. Excellent value for money.We cannot fault the evening and cannot wait to be back!

Away for the weekend, this restaurant was recommended to us and we were not disappointed. This was the best meal we have had for the longest. Staff and Kim were friendly and efficient, taking time for a chat before left. the steak my friend had was perfection, melt in the mouth and incredibly reasonably priced, having paid a lot more where we live for very inferior steaks. We both had scallops for starters which again were cooked beautifully and I had the Turbot for main course. Truly lovely experience, first time I have eaten 'foam' which formed part of the dish, delicious! Very intimate surroundings where we sat upstairs with just two more tables which lent itself to amiable conversation far more than a regular restaurant would. Kim, with obviously a great talented chef, has got this absolutely spot on and clearly works hard to ensure everyone is happy.

I haven't been to this restaurant for a few years as it just went a bit off the radar after the owners sold it. I think it may have closed down for a while. So pleased to have returned last night for an evening with friends as it is back to its best. Lovely, welcoming ambience with great lighting and a relaxed atmosphere. We received a warm welcome from the owner and the waitress was attentive and friendly. Not a huge menu but all sounded lovely so choosing was still difficult. Scallops were just lovely and there was no problem in altering the dishes to cope with a food allergy, always a sign of a great chef who prepares each dish fresh. Fillet of beef lovely too, maybe the medium slightly overdone but very tasty. The peanut / salted caramel dessert was amazing and I would return just for this.House Champagne by the glass very good and an excellent wine list. All in all, a lovely evening @ c£60 per head and looking forward to returning soon.

Simply stunning food and service. The crayfish with Bloody Mary sorbet starter is the best thing I have ever had the pleasure to eat!

Drag yourself away from some of the overrated (foody)Tarrant street tat, and treat yourself to food from possibly the best chef in Arundel. We were staying at a well known local hotel , but needed a good relaxing lunch, and I have to say I had the best meal of the weekend here. The fillet steak was cooked to perfection, i.e wipe it's bottom and walk it past the grill, and the pannatone bread and butter pudding turned a dry uninspiring Italian fruitcake in to a gastronomic thing of beauty! Every mouthful was a buttery flavour explosion, enveloping you like a warm blanket, and the wife's vanilla panacotta.... was stunning. A lovely proud ,slightly squiffy owner, with a good sense of style and what goes where, makes this the best meal I have had in 10 years of Arundel dining, and I've eaten everywhere.Go here, oh , and book, it's very, very good.

We had pre booked our visit on a Saturday night for a romantic dinner. Arundel was looking it's best, the pretty town nestling under magnificent castle. The restaurant is situated on the high street, with a welcome, softly lit frontage. The decor is well thought out and charming, with pretty glassware. A lovely, varied menu gave us excellent food, beautifully cooked and flavoured and well presented. Sadly, we felt the service let an otherwise top evening, down. We had to wait before being shown to our table, had to ask for a drink while looking at the menu and the warmth of the ambience was definitely tempered by a chilly lady who seemed overwhelmed by the task.

There's is a big gap usually between London and country restaurants but at Arundel House you experience absolutely first rate cuisine - as good as anything you'd find in London. We truly enjoyed our experience and booked to go back with the family the following week. The dining room is lovely too. Full of vintage pieces in a beautiful Victorian house.

We were taken here for a birthday celebration and were blown away by the warm reception, lovely interesting decor. All our meals were delicious and beautifully presented, lovely attentive service and great wine list.The meals were not cheap but were fantastic value

We have been back a few times now. Always a warm welcome from Kim and attentive service from her team,. Beautifully presented food, which delicious. A fantastic selection of desserts especially the white chocolate soufflé. Will be back soon

We really enjoyed our stay here. Delicious food, fine wine and romantic atmosphere. Perfect for a celebration meal with gorgeous bedrooms upstairs of you choose to stay over.

Great restaurant, great service, fantastic food. Looking forward to our next visit.I had the crayfish followed by the lamb, it was all perfect.

Situated in this historic location, we felt the restaurant had instant 'kerb appeal'. Inside we found it both classy and comfortable. The wine list offered a good selection, but the real star of the show was the food. My wife and I both had scallops to start, which were cooked perfectly. I had Guinea fowl to follow, whilst my wife had duck. Both dishes were delicious and the portions were generous. The desserts were all very tempting, but we didn't have room to take advantage. The service was good and unobtrusive. We will definitely be back soon!

We visited this restaurant when staying near Arundel for a weekend away with friends. We were warmly welcomed on our arrival and shown to a large oval mahogany table which was beautifully laid out. All four of us chose different dishes from the menu and, without exception, enjoyed superb food. We were the last guests to leave the restaurant; the proprietress sat down with us and we greatly enjoyed her company and conversation

We live in West Sussex and visit Arundel about six or eight times a year - we'd never even noticed Arundel House! It was recently recommended to us and we thought we'd try one lunchtime - what a find!Firstly, it has a very unprepossessing entrance - nothing really to encourage you to come in unlike many of the other attractive restaurants in Arundel.As other reviews have said what really makes a visit worthwhile is the food - superb. We ate off the al la carte menu (canon of lamb, fillet steak, strawberry Eton Mess, pear tarte tatin) although from what we saw and heard, the 'set' menu food was also excellent. Service was good.The one aspect of eating we found slightly disappointing was the slightly cramped feeling - there is not much space between tables in the small room. For our taste there was also a slightly 'old fashioned' look to some of the furnishings - for example there were beautiful starched tablecloths and napkins but the coloured wine glasses were not to our taste. We will be more than happy to return for the excellent food!

Just been to The Arundel House again for lunch with 3 friends. The owner never smiled or made us feel welcome. In fact we were made to feel that we were a bit of a nuisance! This is in fact the second time this has happened.The food was excellent and beautifully presented and it is such a shame that the "front of house" treatment was such that we shall not be going back. The pity of it is that we are spoilt for choice for good places to eat in and around Arundel and without exception are always made to feel like a valued customer.

We didn't stay here but ate here at the recommendation of our hostess at the B & B we stayed in. The owner/hostess was friendly, the food absolutely excellent. We weren't rushed, the service was great, So glad we ate here.

Had a wonderful meal in this restaurant last week after a great day at racing. The first impression of Arundel House is a cosy warm restaurant where you can unwind and relax. I started with the foie gras with a cherry puree which was the best I have tasted anywhere, followed by the medallions of rabbit saddle with a parsnip puree and champ potatoes, STUNNING and finished with the chocolate brownie trifle and salted caramel ice cream, I have to say the best meal I have had this year anywhere, the chef must have magic hands and I don't think a michelin star can be far off with the quality of this cooking. The wine which accompanied the food was spot on a match made in heaven and great service.

Arundel House was recommended to us by friends as a place to go for a meal and to stay the night. It did not disappoint. The room was clean and tidy and very comfortable. The meal was perfect along with the service which is saying something as the restaurant was full on the Saturday night. Arundel itself is great for a weekend get away with or without the kids as there is so much to see and do. The w/e was great but staying in the Arundel House made it a perfect Anniversary w/e. I will recommend this to friends and family and my wife and I agreed that we will be back next year. As noted in another posts, some people wanted breakfast included in the price. Personally my wife and I were still full from the meal the night before and it made a change not having to get up early just to get to breakfast that you are often obliged to eat as it’s paid for. There are many places to eat breakfast in the town and after a walk we went to the café next door which again was really good. Thanks Kim and everyone at Arundel House for making our w/e so special.

The best restaurant in Arundel by far. The food was excellent as was the service. Friendly and attentive but not over the top. Will go there again as soon as I can.First Class!

I was lucky enough to be taken to this restaurant by friends yesterday for Sunday lunch. It was just a wonderful experience. From the moment we entered we were all made so welcome, placed at a lovely table by a window, set with attractive coloured glass wine glasses,and immediately invited to order drinks (which I just love. I hate it when, having taken your places in a restaurant nothing happens for ages.The Sunday lunch menu is very interesting, with a great range of starters and a range of main courses including beef and lamb, as you would expect for the day. I had the lamb, which was perfect, melting in the mouth. Interestingly when ordering we were told that the lamb would be pink and asked if that was ok. My pudding was the pear tart tatin, and again there was a good range including what looked like a wicked chocolate brownie pudding.All was served with grace and good humour, and attention from the owner too. The building itself is lovely, beautifully presented too. This restaurant is a 'must do'. I shall certainly recommend it and go again. Hopefully soon.
