Hemos comido aquí muchas veces a lo largo de los años cuando hemos tenido buena comida y mala comida. Esta vez las opciones fueron buenas (aparte de un miembro del grupo que no puede comer lácteos y encontró los entrantes limitantes) y la comida era generalmente buena, aunque podría haber sido más caliente. El servicio fue bueno con el personal siendo atento. Sin embargo, la pastelería choux para el desierto era seca, dura e insípida. Aprecio el reto que supone para todos salir adelante antes de que empiece el teatro, pero algo de comida parecía haber sido preparada y luego dejada. Anteriormente no era una mala relación calidad-precio comprar, sentimos que para la oferta era caro. El principal beneficio es estar en el lugar para un espectáculo.

Otro show y otra cena temprano después. Muy buena comida, todos disfrutamos de nuestras elecciones junto con un excelente vino para acompañarlo. Servicio amable encantador de nuevo también. Sin embargo, los precios se han disparado y hay lugares de mejor relación calidad-precio en el centro de la ciudad si la ubicación conveniente aquí al teatro no es importante.

We weren’t expecting very much to be honest, and certainly the reception was fairly offhand. After rejecting the poorly placed table, which had been booked a couple of weeks before, we were able to secure a table near the window, which was much more pleasant. After the unfortunate impression given by the Reception lady, some body standing in from one of the offices, I believe, the members of the young staff were extremely pleasant and attentive. A particular mention for Coral, who was especially helpful. We decided to have three courses as we had plenty of time before the matinee. I started with smoked a mackerel rillettes, I liked the idea of the confit of beetroot. Which sadly turned out to be three of the tiniest cubes of ordinary beetroot I should imagine it possible to cut, a leaf or two of chicory and a slice of cucumber surrounding a small heap of mackerel. No toast not even a single slice of sour dough. How is one to eat it? I asked and was told that if I required bread it was an extra £4 for a roll. The main course was ‘roast sirloin of beef’ - sounds good? Two slices of pallid pinkish edible but tasteless long cooked meat - sous vide? Quite repellent. I ate a token amount but could not bring myself to make more of an effort. My companion chose better with the grilled sea bass which looked and apparently tasted delicious. My bad choice, even though not so keen on fish anything would have been better than that pallid tasteless ‘beef’. The lemon posset to follow was acceptable. A small selection of wine by the glass, but well chosen. Around £40 or so each. Not a meal to remember with pleasure.

Pre show dinner so expectations not high since time is limited. However, we all thought menu choices were good and the food was well presented and delicious. Having slated the restaurant under Field and Fork’s tenure, we are now looking forward to returning at future shows.

We booked the Minerva Bar and Grill space for a wake for my mother who had recently passed in late April. Her love of the theatre meant this was a perfect venue. From when I made the first phone call to the delivery of service; Amanda was amazing. She interpreted my needs very well which lead to seamless delivery of service - outstanding service. All of the staff on the day, including Hugo the manager were just brilliant. Attentive and kind, nothing too much trouble. Our guests commented on the food, and service of all the staff, and all of our needs were met beautifully. Would definitely recommend.

After visiting the theatre for a matinee performance in the main theatre on the 11th August l had booked a table for 7 in the Minerva Bar and Grill. Booking for a table in the Brasserie was not an option on that day. Our friends and l had dined there on previous occasions and we had always been pleased with our meal. I need to tell you that we were all disappointed with what was on offer and completed a feed back form expressing our views. The first problem was the complete lack of choice on the main menu…a meat burger or a vegetarian burger. The waitress even had to check with the kitchen that there were actually any vegetarian burgers and this was at 6.00pm. The reply was that there were just two. The quality of these was not of a high standard and neither was the meat burger. As the burger option didn’t appeal to my husband or two of our friends we chose the smoked salmon sharing platter which we found to be a very small amount for two at the high price charged. We didn’t bother with desserts. I must say here that the service throughout was good. We have been regular patrons of the theatre for many years and have enjoyed meals before and after performances. I have been informed that the option to dine in the Bar and Grill is not available at the moment for ‘operational reasons’ The standard of entertainment at Chichester Festival Theatre is recognised as being of the highest quality and l am afraid that our dining experience doesn’t match up to that. I don’t think that we will be tempted to dine here again.

Ate there for lunch in January and had the parsnip dumplings. Dry as bone, no sauce to speak of. Bland, bland, bland. Parents had fish which was dry and overcooked. The only salvation was our charming waiter who couldn't do enough to redeem the situation. Sadly, he was unable to change the menu or dishes. Seems like we weren't the only guests to complain about the dishes. Apparently, the chef does not take kindly to negative feedback, so staff are reluctant to tell him! How ridiculous. Come on folks, for the price you command, you can do MUCH better than this please. We've eaten there before and had a very pleasant meal.

Visited this place for a pint while exploring this beautiful town. Atmosphere was nice but not service. Staff were disappeared on counter so waited to be served. Plenty of seatings inside and outdoor. I grab my drink and sit out to enjoy. Btw they offer live music every Friday and Saturday from morning which is good if you are fancy.

Enjoyed a delicious lunch here with friends. Every member of staff was welcoming. Easy parking too. All in all a positive experience and we are all looking forward to a repeat visit. The mini Biscoff donuts are amazing!

Great town pub, I didn't stay but a colleague did and reported a clean, tidy and comfortable room. Good selection of Lagers, Barrel beers, Craft beers Ciders available, well stocked Spirits, all areas covered with alternatives available. Clean tidy bar, lovely old floorboard s and a fire on. Dog friendly, TV's with a selection of sports channels. It was a Monday night visit so not full , I think it's probably very popular on the weekends.
