The Barn Little London in Chichester

I recently visited The Barn in Chichester for breakfast with some guests, and it was an amazing experience! Although this wasn’t my first visit, it was just as wonderful as before. The atmosphere is so charming, especially with its lovely garden and quirky, outrageously fun shed seating in the courtyard. It was such a unique touch and made the experience even more memorable. We all loved sitting in the shed, which added a fun and playful vibe to our meal. The food, as always, was delicious. The Barn is an ideal place for both breakfast and brunch. The service was exceptional, with a sweet waiter who made us feel right at home. The whole setting, from the china teacups to the knick-knacks in the decoration, created a wonderfully unique and cozy atmosphere. Every little detail added to the charm of the place. I ordered the Welsh Rarebit, and it did not disappoint! Rich, flavorful, and perfect for the setting. My guests were equally impressed, and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I highly recommend The Barn for anyone looking for a cozy spot with great food, a fun atmosphere, and a quirky touch that you won’t find anywhere else. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

We had prebooked but found ourselves in the middle of a shared table for 3 groups of diners. We had to ask the end person to move so we could squeeze past them to sit down. The waiter arrived to take our order before we'd managed to actually settle ourselves into our seats. We asked for a few minutes but he never came back! Eventually we flagged down another passing waitress who took our order and brought some drinks. Then we waited, and waited and waited. After 30 minutes (maybe longer) we flagged down someone else and asked how long the food would be. It arrived pretty quickly after that but my poached eggs had clearly been sitting around for a while before I got them. Lots of excuses from the owner/manager(?) about how busy they were etc etc but some indication of the length of wait would have helped and reading other reviews seems to show a long wait is not unusual. Maybe fewer tables until they have enough kitchen staff to cope? We were offered a complementary free coffee but by then we felt we'd spent enough time there already and declined.

Lovely food and the staff were very friendly. Service was a little slow but worth the wait 😀

Slow service for just a couple of lattes when the place was not at all busy - like 10 minutes! And served by a loud, abrupt, verging on rude, middle aged lady

Excellent find today for lunch. Quirky and Eclectic venue run by people who clearly have a passion for wholesome and tasty food. I think there is something for everyone here and there is a small shopping area with colourful plates, gifts, books, cards etc. Definitely worth a visit. Being positively dog friendly too was a major bonus.

A couple of weeks ago my grandparents visited this cafe. They were told it was table service, they sat down waiting to be served which took ages to get an order taken and for it to be made. They ordered a cappuccino, latte and two cinnamon swirls. One was really greasy, hard and difficult to chew, the other was fine. The latte was fine. The cappuccino milk had been curdled by being over steamed. My gran informed the waiter and the waiter said ‘if she had reacted to that cinnamon swirl that she should have a gall bladder checked’. (Waiter was around in her late 50s) A group of young girls came over and checked she was alright and agreed that the coffee was not good! My gran agreed to pay for my grandpas coffee, they went up to the till to pay. The owner was behind the till and pointed out they were only paying for one coffee, my gran explained what had happen and she said she would flag it up at the meeting. No apology at all! Incredibly rude service.

Really lovely atmosphere and decor. It is great that they have locally sourced produce where possible. Also good friendly service. It is certainly on the higher end price wise. We came in for a lovely breakfast and had the shakshuka and added chorizo, and the poached eggs on toast with added feta, mushrooms and chorizo. We then had a coffee and an apple juice each. Adding things such as chorizo or feta to a meal does incur some additional costs to the base price of the meal. Both meals were lovely and well cooked. Combined with the service charge the final bill came to around £67. Which for two people for a breakfast is on the higher end. The quality of ingredients and food is great, plus with locally sourced produce understand the higher prices. But would we return for breakfast again? As a very rare treat maybe.

Really quirky place for coffee or tea. Lovely atmosphere andnprivate sitting places

This place is a hidden Gem I took my father here for a treat. We had avocado on sour bread toast poached egg on top with feta, beetroot and mushrooms was delicious. For drinks we had orange juice which was forgotten and we had to remind the waitress.

Two words - Basque Cheesecake! Epic After this we went home and tried replicate the splendour. In the future we’ll leave it to the professionals! Dreaming of the next slice already.

Me encanta este lugar, café excelente, decoración peculiar, comida deliciosa 😋 A menudo vengo aquí con mi marido y recomendaría.

The food, as always, was served hot and delicious with great portion sizes, our waiting staff checked that everything was going well for us, they were very kind, patient and helpful. It also was extremely cosy and welcoming atmosphere. Would wholly recommend coming.

Una reunión improvisada. Excelente Cortado y Chocolate Caliente. Buen servicio. Tranquilo - ideal para nuestra reunión. Me encanta la decoración loca, un proyecto fotográfico en sí mismo. . . Laguna Hayling

My husband & I visited yesterday for two cakes, a juice and a beer. The bill came to £25 which we found quite steep but as small business owners ourselves, we understand the overheads on a place like The Barn must be high. We don’t agree with their 12.5% service charge though. They should have asked if we were ok with it, or make it clear that it will be added. We worked it out after our visit. But the incident came when we went to pay at the front till. A member of staff came hastily from the restaurant room and said to her colleague, without looking or acknowledging us: “Table 6, sorry they walked off”. When we asked for clarification, she replied that customers who eat at the restaurant should pay at the back. We were confused as this was our 2nd visit and at the time, we paid at the front till. This lack of communication and courtesy really dampened our experience. Good customer service is at the heart of all we do in our own business. This member of staff would have no place in our team. Given the high prices and the way we were treated, we certainly won’t return. There are plenty of other tea rooms and restaurants in Chichester that value their customers more and offer good food at more reasonable prices.

What a find. We were just looking for somewhere for a spot of lunch whilst on a visit to Chichester. It’s a lovely eclectic place, unique and quirky. We sat inside (with a dog) as they were full. Great menu with a lot of thought having gone into it. We both chose the shawarma with extra chorizo which was fab and surprisingly filling. Coffee also nice. Food did take some time to come out, but I believe they cook everything freshly and it was a very busy lunchtime period. Staff were engaging and friendly (we were sat by till). I’d definitely go back next time.

Great place to eat , being gluten intolerant is a pain but Mia was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, extremely polite and very attentive to us definitely go back in the future .

Unique and quirky restaurant with amazing coffee. Saturday is rammed which meant our food took +45 mins, that was the only thing that bothered us. Cost wise it was about £40 per head with 2 drinks each so a little on the pricey side. The menu was unique, local and seasonal. Their meat is locally sourced and their dishes are original and well prepared.

This is a pretty place, the chalets lovely as long as you sit in the sun. We had 2 coffees and 1cheesecake with lemon ricotta, it was delicious but not outstanding. When I went to pay I was asked "2 cheesecakes?" When I said "No", I was asked "Are you sure?" However I later saw on my bank statement I was charged a whopping £17! On reading the reviews I see there is a 12.5% service charge! For what?? I shan't return, that's greedy for poor service.

Tomamos té y pastel aquí por la tarde y fue encantador! Nos sentamos en una de las zonas del patio que era un espacio precioso. Nuestros amigos almorzaron aquí el día anterior y dijeron que era muy bueno y el personal super amable y servicial, que eran cuando volvimos para el té de la tarde. Fue hacia el final del día y muy tranquilo cuando fuimos y el servicio fue muy rápido.

There's a huge selection of cakes that all look and taste amazing. No complaints about the food or the coffee, I just can't justify the price when you can get just as good products cheaper elsewhere.

Delightful, boho restaurant/café with an excellent choice of original dishes. The staff are very friendly and welcoming.

wow what a lovely little gem! the staff were so lovely and the food was delicious! a little pricey but understandably so; you pay a little bit more for such good quality and everything was delicious. no complaints at all! i definitely recommend the chai latte - it was beautiful.

Lugar perfecto para sumergirse entre Films @ el 32o Festival Internacional de Cine de Chichester. Un verdadero conejo Warren, pero buena comida. En esta ocasión el ya omnipresente "Aguacate machacado" con feta, remolacha y tocino añadido. Transforma cualquier comida vegetal. Para terminar un brillante Affogato, uno de mis Postres favoritos combinando mis gemelos amantes del gran Café y la Vainilla, el Helado. Tuve que pedir 3 veces, pero genial a la llegada y vale la pena la espera. Laguna Hayling

Great coffee. Very friendly waiter. Really fun vibe

Lovely atmosphere and beautiful outdoor seating. I am glad we booked in advance because we would’ve struggled to get a seat. While the prices are high, they mostly reflect the quality as the ingredients are locally sourced and fresh. My salad was very good. As a warning, the add-ons are expensive. From our experience, the prices do not reflect the quantity you get - we paid £4 for added chorizo and while it is an expensive ingredient 7 tiny pieces was underwhelming. I would like to mention our excellent server Millie - she went the extra mile for us and was very attentive and friendly so thank you!

A colourful, vibrant and welcoming place with a great ethos. 75%+ locally sourced produce and all dishes made from scratch. We had the opportunity to pop into The Barn for lunch.  Looking at the entrance from East Street it looks quite small but as soon as you step inside it is a "Tardis". A series of rooms that lead into a courtyard with outside seating. A lovely menu with lots of choice. We were seated in the shade in one of the chalets. The food was fabulous, I had the aubergine shawama and my partner the venison burger. When we walked through the door there was a selection of delicious cakes and for desert we were tempted by the carrot cake and chocolate and hazelnut torte. Good food, locally sourced and supporting the slow food movement. Quite a gem.

Always great food friendly faces Thank you

Went for pre-theatre dinner in the cool outdoor dining area with the amazing little huts. Great food and friendly and efficient service. Highly recommended.

Tried The Barn for early supper last night, they are opening on Friday evenings for a couple of months. We have been here for breakfast, coffee, lunch a number of times so hoped dinner would be good. It was excellent, food was delicious, not a huge menu but options, clearly a very good chef and good quality ingredients - we both had garlicky cannellini beans / balsamic onion / pancetta on sourdough followed by smoked trout / roast pots / fennel. English sparkling wine. We really enjoyed it and will be going again - recommend.

My partner and I were searching for a decent breakfast/brunch establishment in Chichester and hoped we had found it in Barn Little. Sadly it wasn’t to be, a combination of dour looking staff, rather uninspiring surroundings (dusty and unclean) and pretty dreadful food, means the search continues. I had the Kedgeree, which was dry and grainy with a rice which gave the impression of being undercooked. I suspect it was whole grain (not advertised as such), Kedgeree for me is a light fluffy, flaky fish, curry flavoured dish, with hard boiled egg as a garnish…this had none of the characteristics of said dish. (£16 for what was a small plate is hugely steep especially when the quality is poor) My partner had the smashed avocado on sourdough toast, sadly the bread was stale and too tough for my partner to cut. I was asked to oblige, which made her feel a tad childlike in having someone cut up her food. The staff, whom I felt for did not look happy at their work, enquired as to our opinion of the food. After appraising them of my disappointment I was advised that they were waiving the service charge. Given our experience I would not have paid it anyway. We left hugely disappointed and vowing never to return, I am very fair minded and rarely write a negative comment unless deserved…sorry Barn Little but you failed miserably.

Excellent serving staff, let down by a grumpy manager. I had two delicious eggs on a slice of toast that posed a threat to the teeth. The bread had probably been good when fresh, but produced rock-hard toast. The bacon was also hard, but I couldn't complain as I'd asked for it to be well done. My friend had a glass of red wine he found undrinkable and categorized as vinegary. I tasted it and found it slightly oxidized, but suspected it had never been much good, even when the bottle was first opened. The charming waitress said she'd ask her manager about it. The manager came back to say she'd tasted the same wine and couldn't find anything wrong with it. When the bill came, we were surprised to see it contain £8 for the undrunk wine, and while paying, I commented that it would have cost them very little to omit it, and avoided giving us a poor impression. The manager knocked over a cutlery tray by one till, and after complaining at whoever left it there, proceeded to pick up the cutlery, ignoring the queue waiting to pay at the other till. My comment about being charged for undrinkable wine must have got back to the manager, because she told my friend that she'd make a refund, but said it in a way that negated the PR benefit that it could have generated. Perhaps she was just having a bad day, but I shan't take the chance of going back.

Hats off to the chef! Everyone in our party agreed that the food was delicious and plentiful. Absolutely love the decor and unique chalets which makes one feel that they have a comfy space of their own. The staff was friendly and prompt. We will definitely return.

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

Excellent food and friendly staff. Quirky seating areas, lovely day. Highly recommended

Very underwhelmed. Sat out the back from where you hear loud staff conversation and two different music sources clash. Friendly waiter took my order straight away, and while I was waiting for it to arrive, I read that a 12.5% service charge would be added to my bill. Seems a bit ‘Ryanair’. Far better to just state the prices. Anyway, I needn’t have worried as I didn’t get to pay, sat reading for twenty minutes and my coffee and cake didn’t arrive, so went elsewhere.

The food is amazing and the service is brilliant! Waitresses are the nicest i’ve ever come across and the coffee’s and servings are massive and affordable!! Location is lovely - CANNOT RECOMMEND MORE! 11/10

Such a friendly calm place Love it Will come again

Visited as were in Chichester, looked for an independent and we weren't disappointed, firstly we were served by the vivacious amazing Harriet who made our day! Good and service were also amazing but it was definitely Harriet that made the experience top notch for us!!

We ordered three different dishes and each was not possible to finish. We went to a nearby restaurant to get the taste from our mouths. Also very overpriced for such low quality. This is in a town that has several very good restaurants all in easy walking distance - so I am surprised how bad The Barn can be and stay in business.

The cuisine is almost entirely veggie. If you like that, fine, five stars . There is a 12.5 per cent service charge

Lovely food although the portions are a little bit small for me.

The most expensive coffee I have ever had! £6.15 for a SMALL latte with coconut milk to take out. I couldn’t believe it. Nice coffee but way too expensive

This place is superb 👌 The food, the atmosphere, the staff alike. And the cake is outstanding- they could not make it dry and crumbly at all. I recommend this place totally Go ASAP

Lovely friendly staff, nice food. Dog friendly and good gluten free options. Not a place for a quick bite but definitely a meet up and chill kind of place.

The service was very slow once ordered, yet were very pushy to take the order, older lady very abrupt. Then have the gumption to add a very high service charge automatically when we have received a rather rude and slow service. A good idea but lacking in the basics. Coffee burnt food good but overpriced for what you get.

A little on the pricey side but honestly worth putting money into the place. Fantastic food and great people working there.

I really love this place and have been a nunber of times. However, every time I have been the waiting time has been long. We waited about twenty minutes for our drinks, and it must have been an hour before our food arrived. Staff never apologise for the wait and never explain why it is taking so long. People have better things to do on a Saturday than twiddle their thumbs waiting. It’s not as if what we ordered was difficult - how long does it take to put a salad together?

This homely, high street escape is just exquisite. The fare is diverse and high quality with delicious pastries. However, it was the coffee(s) that captured me on my visit. The cortado was simply sublime. Rich, fruity and earthy. I would come here again and again for this alone.

I visited here to grab a quick coffee because my fave, Common Grounds, was packed. Can't fault the quality of the coffee – it was really lovely. But overall, I found the place a bit odd. I was charged 12.5% service charge – I have never experienced service charge being added to one coffee before. The staff seemed friendly but are a bit intense – pounce on you as soon as you step inside, without giving you the time to look at what you might like etc.

An excellent find "The Barn's Townhouse" excellent food great quality, love the place for it's unique décor everything is odd!!! Yup, not one thing matched :-) however, the food was excellent, coffee excellent and staff excellent. I only have one HUGE COMPLAINT - it is not close enough for me to get to very often :-(

Impatience staff didn't give us enough time to study the menu! Overpriced for what they served although it was testy but why would you serve a small size of salad in a very large bowl?! 12.5% service charge 🤷 Okay flat white usually get serve in a small cup but this one was very small isn't it!

Wonderful find! There are two separate buildings with entrances in different streets (coffee and cakes bar in East Street, restaurant with indoor seating and outdoor cabins in Little London); the two are shortly to be internally linked. The restaurant menu offers a lot of interesting items that you'd be hard pushed to find together elsewhere. There are also quite a few traditional favourites and Australian (!) coffee by Mel Bourne! This is an interesting and innovative restaurant featuring great food mainly sourced from the nearby Goodwood Estate. There is only daytime service but also a themed monthly supper club. Lunch is a little dearer than most, but well worth multiple visits - do try it!

I called in for coffee and a pastry as my preferred spot was busy and noisy, having heard good things about the coffee. The coffee was indeed pleasant. The cafe is decorated in the 'shabby chic' style; junk shop furniture and ganny's china, which is very discordant and somewhat distracting. Some of the waiting staff are rather loud. To cap it all a 12.5% service charge for a simple coffee and cake.

Over priced with little choice of mid morning savoury food. Would avoid using again as there are better establishments in Chichester

Coffee and food were to a pretty good standard AND THE STAFF WERE FRIENDLY but they apply a 12.5% service charge and don't accept cash. Any business that tries to fast track us into a cashless society won't get my business again sadly. CASH IS KING!

Lovely little find. Very friendly staff, very exciting menu with lots of interesting choice. Hope to visit again soon.

Nice coffee and lively decor. The food menu looked interesting, if pricey. Be aware there's a discretionary service charge of 12.5% on everything.

Well, actually taken at Lunchtime, but the late Michael Winner used to describe his really special courses as "Historic". That's the only word which seems appropriate for the Croissant with Berries and a generous dollop of Greek Yoghurt. Sensational. Paired with a Cortado. And how good to have a bottle of water placed on your table without asking. Do check this venue out. Hayling Seagoon

Best lunch we’ve had in some time. I had the kedgeree and my partner had the shakshuka, plus we had coffees and shared the pancakes. Everything was spot on. Top marks for being dog friendly too! Thank you

Love this place. Visited many times. It’s quirky. Food is lovely, portions are good. Staff are friendly, accommodating and friendly. One of my must go to places

Went in for a coffee. Despite there being few customers, it took a long time for the drinks to arrive. The coffee was undrinkable - too large a cup and it tasted of nothing more than hot water. Scruffy surroundings and no heating didn’t help. As we left, we were amused by a sign claiming they serve the best coffee in Chichester. Er, no!

Although overpriced the food is lovely. However, our last visit was ruined by an extremely patronising staff member! Firstly, one of the older members of staff was rude and sarcastic to a young waitress, making her visibly embarrassed in front of us. Secondly, this same older member of staff made a very patronising comment to my younger sister (only 15 years old) who had brought in a bottle of drink she purchased elsewhere, implying that we lacked “etiquette”. This made us all feel very uncomfortable and has deterred us from visiting again. I understand establishments may not allow other products to be brought in, however, there is a way to go about this politely and without the sarcasm, especially to a young group of girls.

The supper club (Asian food) last night was absolutely brilliant, the venue was warm and cosy, with cool mellow beats from the d.j. The food was absolutely amazing, the service excellent and a great selection of wines and beers. Definitely a must an we will be back in 2024.

Visited with my partner and son for lunch. We ordered our meal which came late with the 3rd meal not as ordered. My meal then was re ordered and was delivered to the table as my two family members finished there meal. Prices were very high, for example two poached eggs on one piece of toast at £11.00, overpriced! My toasty was over toasted. Further more we had a 12.5 percent service charge added to our bill which should have been optional. Bill came to over £63.00 with the service charge. Service was poor as young girl seemed out of her depth on serving tables. Regrettably we shall not visit again in the near future.

Really quirky place; an absolute feast for the eyes and the tummy! Lovely atmosphere, great staff and the food was fabulous. We were spoilt for choice and portion sizes were GENEROUS. New fave place. Looking forward to attending one of their Friday Supper Clubs later in the month.

Looked promising with heated chalets outside but service dire forgot drinks order then 50 mins for a sandwich and kedgeree then had to go to till as waited 15 mins for bill. Food expensive although good quality. Don't mind the expense but service was dire.

Popped in for a coffee, looked so nice, we had a sandwich and cake. Friendly service and unusual bohemian interior. The garden features small snug cabines.

Excellent venue: the food is super tasty, there is plenty of it, each ingredient is picked or home made, the team is kind and welcoming and the place is both original and cosy. A must!

Great food and a great story behind the cafe. All locally sourced ingredients 🙌

Chichester so needed this. Wonderful food and atmosphere.

It was ok and decor is good but we won't be returning as they don't take cash which is a big mistake. Many friends feel the same. If they feel they can survive without the cash customer then good luck to them.

It’s looks like such a nice cafe but the reality is the wait to order anything is long, the wait for drink and food is longer if you aren’t completely ignored and then you basically need to go up to a till to ask to pay if you have any chance of paying for your bill at all. I wouldn’t mind if I was paying cheap prices but for the expensive food the service is not good at all and the staff make you feel like you are an inconvenient interruption to their chats about life and nights out.

Visited with a friend who lives in Chichester. Lovely outside area in huts, for small groups to share coffee and cake, or a meal. The surroundings are lovely and the service was great. They serve an excellent choice of cake and the coffee was fab.

Sadly, this was a rather disastrous visit and has left us feeling angry because of the ensuing impact it had on our day. We try to support independent businesses, but won’t be returning to this one. I don’t like writing poor reviews when I know...

Lovely place, some outside tables in greenhouse or sheds, very interesting furniture and also dog friendly

Great atmosphere, really nice cappuccino and brunch along with friendly staff

But with superb Cortado and a very extensive and interesting menu. I will be back. Monday one is denied both Common Grounds and Wagtails. I love all the eccentric details in the Barn. The outside Cabins are an inspired feature. A thoughtly valuable addition to...

We went here for brunch on the recommendation of a nice man at the Novium. He did warn us that it's quite pricey. I would have to agree. When I saw that scrambled eggs on sourdough was £11 and Welsh rarebit was £14, I would have to agree with him. Plus £3.50 for a small can of ginger ale. I was expecting something special for the price, but the eggs were just okay. Nothing special and not seasoned enough, and the portion was small. Plus they added a non discretionary service charge of 12.5%. So, over £32 for eggs on toast, posh cheese on toast and a small drink. I call that profiteering. We won't be back.

Nothing authentically Greek about this evening’s theme . Dreadful food, incredibly slow albeit friendly service and high prices for canteen style meal. One track of Mamma Mia in the background was the only vaguely Mediterranean link to this evening. Would not recommend or return.

Amazing atmosphere, delicious food best service I recommend it for everyone X

Some say the prices are high for the style of restaurant and the food . My view is when arriving at a restaurant you look at the menu ( or online before you go ) if you don’t like the prices don’t go . It’s...

I was recently in Chichester and came across ‘The Barn Townhouse’ on the main parade of shops in towns the High Street. I complimented them on the vast variety of delicious treats they had an offer. I was asked if I had visited ‘The Barn Little London’, unfortunately I have not. However, it will be on my priority list the next time I visit Chichester. Within the townhouse was a fantastic range of pastries, sweet treats and huge sourdough breads. Investigating further, they also have chocolate with great flavour (I bought the coconut and almond), pasta, pizza, sauces, oils and crockery. I could have easily spent a small fortune. I will be informing all of my friends that they have to visit this new and up-and-coming eatery/shop! I was served by two wonderful ladies, who informed me of where they got their produce, persuaded me to indulge in the almond croissant and we chatted as if we had already become firm friends. Describing everyone as friendly, would be an understatement. I was beyond excited to try the seeded sourdough when I got home. I cannot wait for my next visit.

Tried a coffee when my favourite coffee shop in town “common grounds” was closed. All I can say is, I’d rather go without coffee next time!

A refreshing new place with real china cups for tea and mouth watering cakes. Friendly staff and cheerful bohemian ambient, within high ceilings making it light and airy.

Fabulous place to eat or have coffee and cake. Wonderful atmosphere, great staff and Everyone we take here loves it! Cannot recommend highly enough and be back soon

We maybe late to the party as only just found The Barn and we love it! Fantastic food in lovely eccentric surroundings. Flat whites in china cups are just wonderful. Please try the mushrooms even though there won’t be mush room for anything else!

From the moment we walked through the front door we were made so welcome…stumbledUpon by chance but so happy to find this hidden gem in Chichester…a must visit venue…quirky vintage eatery with super friendly staff…amazing private spaces but also lovely sharing spaces…more importantly coffee made...

Very quirky menu. Good quality but not straightforward.

Great ambience. Good attentive service,food ok but so so expensive. £17 for Welsh Rarebit with bacon. 4 of us £111 for snacks and a few coffees .Liked the fact that a percentage goes to a great charity but honestly crazy prices. Heads up to future...

If I could give this amazing place more that 5 stars I would. Situated in a beautiful, central and historic part of Chichester, The Barn is an outstanding brunch spot and with a charming, international feel. Pioneers of the Slow Food movement supporting local produce and wellness, the food, served on vintage crockery was spectacular. The menu was intriguing, with world influences including nods to Persian cuisine, which I really loved. The ambience was buzzing but relaxed - we were sat in one of their beautiful rustic barns. Although the service was slow the staff were truly amazing, and the owner Emma who was lovely took the time to talk with us. The Barn is also dog friendly which was lovely as our party included a beautiful four legged friend who was given a lot of love by staff and other customers. Finally we spend some time in their shop and took home some amazing groceries for the larder. Highly recommended

Wow! The food is amazing. The house wine perfect. And the fun, light and easy atmosphere was fab - in no small part thanks to Harriet, the resident 'personality'! We had a ball. I have been back 3 times in 2 weeks! It's not cheap, but it's high quality, tasty and interesting food. Did I mention the 'house red' ?!!

lovely cafe in Chi, serving excellent locally sourced food. Fun, quirky / shabby chic decor and displays, and delicious goodies on display to browse and buy. Food is good, but service is a little slow. Coffee arrived luke warm unfortunately. Chalets are lovely - we...

Had a belated Mother’s Day lunch and it was delicious! Line caught tuna with piccalilli. Red cabbage, green salad and Brie with a hunk of fresh bread, yum! They also sell lots of interesting provisions to take home for another day

Warning to contractors: I was brought in to work on the store's piano as a tuner, but found the instrument was in a far worse condition than I was informed. I spent two trips equalling almost 7 hours of work on the instrument, but the condition was a situation that I could not remedy as a tuner, and made suggestions of where to get a technician and wrote a comprehensive report of issues with the instrument, cleaned and tuned as well as the instrument would take. After invoicing a slightly reduced fee (I couldn't fix some of the issues, which I was up front about to the staff), I received no contact from anyone at the restaurant, despite multiple chasers and requests and even handing an invoice in person! A shame, the wait staff were lovely and accommodating, but management appear to be greedy and unwilling to even discuss with me about the fee once I had spent an insignificant amount of time on site. This was a visit back in January, and I am still trying to contact them to no avail. Highly recommend not doing any contract work for this establishment without a deposit payment up front.

This was a firm favourite - but the last two visits have not been good and we will not be going back. They squeeze a lot of people into a small space. The wait is REALLY long - even to get your first drink, and...

Great, friendly experience. Had lovely cake and hot chocolate..

Quirky quality! Loved it and my first time for some reason. Lovely staff, very busy, but well managed. Definitely going again.

Give it a go, delicious lunch, teas good too.

Emma and her team organised the most fantastic wedding celebration for us. The food was delicious, service incredible and the environs was so perfect. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Barn for any events!

Shown to a table immediately despite no booking - there were long waits for menus - giving the order and for the food to arrive. The surroundings are very eclectic and a tad drafty as staff are constantly in and out to the courtyard and...
