The Pallant Restaurant & Cafe in Chichester

Lovely food in a nice setting with kind attentive staff. We visited here as had a voucher for an afternoon tea. Presented really well and good choice of savory goodies particularly enjoyed the fennel and cranberry sausage rolls. Scones were warm and delicious equally as tasty were the orange blossom cake and the mango/passion fruit Panna cotta. Cafe was clean highchairs were available if needed. Thanks for looking after us.

I am afraid I have to agree with the other ‘average’ ratings - same issues x 3 a) overpriced £40+ for a basic lunch b) staff creating difficulties re: getting table required and c) delay in getting menu and a wait of 15 minutes for cold starters. Won’t return

As we have several food allergies The Pallant is one of a few places that can cater for us. Charlie and his staff did everything they could to make our meal an enjoyable experience. Needless to say we will be returning in the near future. Once again many thanks for your time and effort in making our meal such a enjoyable occasion. Chris and Mary

This is the second time I have visited the Pallant café for lunch with my family. We had a great experience. Three of us ordered the stuffed peppers and one had the fish and chips. The service was very prompt and efficient and the food was delicious. The portion sizes were very generous and none of us could finish our food. This is a lovely venue tucked down one of Chichester’s historic side streets. I haven’t had the opportunity to visit in the summer when you can sit outside but I’d like to come back in better weather to hopefully take advantage of the lovely courtyard.

The Pallant Gallery cafe produce the most perfect roast lunch anywhere. Everything is absolutely gorgeous - beef, roast potatoes, carrot, red cabbage, yorkshire, even cut leeks in a white sauce. Excellent drinks to accompany the food too and correct service. I thoroughly recommend this as we both loved it.

I really like this place. Not only an excelllent gallery but a great lunch in a lovely, open and stylish environment with excellent food and good staff. We were late owing to a lot of car trouble on the way and they were completely chill and kept our table for us. The much needed Bloody Mary's were exemplary and the lunch ample, good and surprising in some nicely judged elements. The cooking here is very good. Short wine list makes choosing easy and we were very happy with our choices. Highly recommend. Perfect Saturday lunch.

We love to go here when we visit the gallery. I asked if one dish contained pork and the waitress checked with the chef and said it did not. I think they had forgotten the chorizo in the sauce but a special sauce was made for me and a different cheese was given. I did appreciate that and I was not ill as a result. If we could change anything it would be the rocket garnish as we would prefer a mixed salad. The alcohol free lager was lovely and cold and it was good to have that as a choice.

Pre booked lunch for 4 people. When we arrived we received a friendly greeting and were shown to our table. We were mainly served by Sophie who was lovely and friendly who took our drinks order which arrived quickly and then came back when we were ready to take our food order. We didn't have to wait very long for the food which was well presented and delicious. I had the port schnitzel which I can highly recommend. Friends had Welsh Rarebit, the trout and the mushrooms on toast. All food was hot and delicious. We also spoke to Charlie who was very friendly. Generally has a lovely, relaxing atmosphere. If visiting the gallery you definitely want to book the restaurant. 5 stars all round

Had an amazing Sparkling Afternoon Tea on 2nd February. Such a lovely variety of food you could tell all freshly made The staff were very friendly and excellent service. Most definitely will go again and will buy as a present for family and friends.

We had been given a voucher for Afternoon Tea with fizz as a gift. What a treat, a separate room from the main cafe, great staff and the food was lovely. A good mix of savoury/scones with clotted cream/cakes. Couldn't finish mine and was give a box to take home the leftovers. Highly recommend this place if you are in Chichester

Lovely afternoon tea with Tinwood sparkling wine. Not just sandwiches for the savoury section which was a nice surprise. Really liked the egg mayo croissants. Having a sausage roll was also a nice touch. Lovely fresh scones. Good selection of sweet treats, including panacotta with apple crumble topping - delicious! Tea was with hot water in a jug and teabags, many cups as required and topped up as needed. Attentive service without being over the top. Thank you

This little gem is tucked away on the ground floor of the Pallant house gallery. The menus is simple and uncomplicated but all the food is beautifully presented and very good value. I eat out a lot and this has been the nicest lunch I’ve had in a long time. Will definitely return.

Really pleasant surprise - nice and calm escape before Christmas, great service and stunningly great scones (SERIOUSLY GOOD SCONES!) Fab sarnies and loads of cakes and sweet stuff. Local English fizz from Tinwood was typically as deelish as ever - just book and go!

We went here for a special full afternoon tea with a glass of bubbly each. It was presented well on a 3 tier stand, and the bubbly was local and excellent. The let down was that you were expected to make your own tea from a bag and a jug. At that price (c£60 for 2) one might expect a tea pot. One was supplied on demand but it was a cheap tinny thing, out of keeping with the rest of the presentation. No soya milk either. Scones were light and fluffy. Having said all that, it was a pleasant experience and the staff were friendly.

We were given a wonderful Christmas present from our granddaughter of a luxury afternoon tea. We chose Pallant house gallery as it was the closest to us. Our experience was wonderful, super staff and service, nothing was too much trouble. the afternoon tea was superb and plentiful, so much so we needed a doggy bag. Would recommend. bonus great music too.

Very friendly service, delicious coffee, but our main courses were a bit disappointing. A ciabatta with smoked mozzarella and caponata was tasty but so hard on the bottom it was next to impossible to cut through, even with steak knives. All 3 of us had the same problem. The smoked salmon salad was uninspired. In general, the chef should do better.

Really nice bistro-style food, friendly staff, good service and reasonable prices. Well worth visiting especially to round off a gallery visit.

Really great afternoon tea, went the extra mile when a pregnant member of our group wasn’t have to have an item and substituted which we really appreciated. Will be definitely back!

We had the most amazing afternoon tea here. The food was gorgeous with a variety of delicious savoury and sweet treats including lovely warm scones. They also have an outside area which would be stunning in the summer. The service was brilliant and we will definitely be returning 😊.

My husband and I spent a very lovely afternoon at the Pallant Cafe for a Christmas afternoon tea. The service was excellent and the food on a par with a Michelin restaurant we visited last month. Highly recommend.

Can't really speak for the food. The gallery is a swanky and sophisticated place and the cafe well attended. I was all the more surprised then to find my double espresso served in a wide, shallow cup (and cold therefore in two minutes). The coffee was good, but I need a while to sip that much caffeine, stirring it with a small spoon in a small heat retaining PROPER FLIPPING ESPRESSO CUP for half an hour like a proper philosopher, meantime I shall go elsewhere.

We booked Afternoon Tea for my mum's 75th birthday, after hearing from my friend that Pallant Cafe was amazing. We weren't disappointed, first of all the staff were lovely and so attentive and also mum had a lovely suprise of a complimentary glass of Tinwood fizz ! She loved it and the afternoon tea was delicious, we requested 2 out of 4 of the stands were vegetarian, this includes savoury pastries, tasty sandwiches, scones cream and jam, a selection of sweet treats, we all took a box home too as we could not eat it all, plus copious amounts of fresh coffee and tea, piping hot !! I would urge anyone to visit this delightful cafe , such good value and thank you very much to the wonderful staff. We will be back and I would love to return in the summer also to use the outdoor area. Thank you very much. Jo Brooke/ sisters and daughters & mum xx

We attended the special Belgium pop up event. Four wonderful courses which were carefully balanced and delicious. Homemade cheesy croquettes to start paired with a great Belgian cherry beer. A delicate lemon sole with a beurre blanc and tiny capers. An amazing fillet of beef stew with homemade chips. To finish a homemade waffle with strawberry beer coulis and ice cream with white chocolate. A wonderful evening, yummy food and seamless friendly service.

Just stopped for a coffee. Nice place and quick service

My partner and I had your sparkling afternoon tea today, absolutely brilliant. Can't fault the food or service, just quality..Colin and Lynn

Disappointing. Went for afternoon tea after reading the positive reviews here. First impression was not great as all the chairs I could see were covered in crumbs (one had a sticky spot). No atmosphere to speak of. The hot water jug had what looked like mustard smeared on the side. Beverage was a choice of 2 types of tea bag or filter coffee. I paid 7.50 per person for the sparkling afternoon tea and got a very tiny glass of meh prosecco. The only highlight was that the savoury offerings were more imaginative than finger sandwiches. All in all, I have had much better afternoon tea experiences at the same price (or less) elsewhere and will not be returning.

Perfect high tea with great selection and lovely tea. Great location and setting. Staff very friendly and welcoming

Excellent food in pleasant surroundings. Service was efficient and friendly and the presentation of the food was very good.

I received a voucher for afternoon tea at the Pallant cafe for Christmas, but only managed to find a date in the diary in August - however this was well worth the wait. What a find! The staff were amazing, really welcoming, helpful and nice. We had a glass of Tinwood sparkling wine which was delicious, and the tea itself was gorgeous. We had one sandwich each and instead of the common 3 or 4 different finger sandwiches, we had alternative savoury offerings of a tiny flan and a delicious sausage roll with a difference, followed by really tasty scones with jam and cream and finally cakes and a blood orange panna cotta - OMG how divine! This was just a delightful way to spend the afternoon. I would thoroughly recommend it and I will be returning very soon.

Great lunch spot, and always popular so book ahead. Tables outside under the beautiful pleached trees are at a premium but the inside dining room is airy and light. I had the Reuben sandwich (with chips!) and it was excellent. Then affogato to follow. Charming and efficient service. I always look forward to lunch here when I've been to the Pallant Gallery.

Great service for private function nice canapés and tasty Prosecco 😋

It is the first time I have eaten here for many months and I was pleasantly surprised. Stopped for lunch and sat inside, outside was already busy and all the tables were reserved - note: if you want lunch, best reserve a table, especially if you want to sit outside on a lovely summer day. The service was okay; the servers were attentive and the food and drinks arrived quickly. The food was appealing and tasty, though the lunch menu lacked choice. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I would certainly return. Accessibility: I use an electric wheelchair and was hesitant I would find a space but the layout of the restaurant is spacious with room to manoeuvre to your table. The area around the front entrance is a little tight, though. There is an accessible toilet available just down the hall which was well equipped and spacious and provided ample space for my wheelchair.

This cafe is absolutely lovely. Attached to the main gallery. Cafe has three different seating area option, main dining room, courtyard (if the weather is nice) and the little lobby area of the gallery. Cafe is dog friendly which is perfect. We loved everything we ate. Fresh ingredients and flavour. Sparkling elderflower was really refreshing and not too sweet. Very good service as well :)

My daughter and I shared a perfect afternoon tea together yesterday. The food was beautifully presented and tasted amazing and the service was outstanding. We were thoroughly impressed by our experience and the staff really made it special for us. I would highly recommend it.

Beautiful setting lovely staff and delicious afternoon tea

The cafe was diligent in ensuring that all our complicated dietary requirements were met from time or order through to delivery. The food was scrumptious and the atmosphere extremely relaxed and cosy

A nicely decorated cafe attached to the must-see art gallery. Has a short but interesting menu and good cooking. The set lunch is good value. The cafe has both indoor and courtyard seating. Overflow tables in the foyer sometimes. Lovely staff but they can get a bit harassed as the cafe can get very busy. I'd recommend booking in advance.

Good food, but unfortunately unskilled service that would walk by us several times without clearing the table.

It was a lovely place to be at and eat, the desserts are amazing

Wonderful sparking afternoon tea. We're both vegetarian and the food was superb - the tastiest afternoon tea we've ever had. The local sparking wine was also superb

Without doubt the best eggs Benedict I've ever had. Friendly staff, great venue with a very relaxed feel. To top it off the chef even came out of the kitchen to talk. Great service

Delicious lunch. Great service, very nice helpful staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch.

London standard food and Service. Charlie is excellent. Will definitely be returning more often.

We had our wonderful wedding reception at the Pallant Café on Monday and it was absolutely amazing. The food was so delicious, all our guests commented on how incredible it was. The local wine and beer was sensational too. The organisation was faultless and we had the most perfect time here, it really made our day special. As we were a party of 30 this venue was a perfect size, it was the most intimate and personal venue. I have to say I was very impressed with all the staff but we have to say a personal thank you to the manager Charlie who was phenomenonal from the start. His communication was excellent and he really took the time to listen to what we wanted and delivered beyond our expectations. We are so grateful. We look forward to returning in the near future and we know more of the wedding party will follow. I highly recommend the Pallant café, especially if you are considering a private function.

Good place to meet up for coffee on a light lunch in lovely place. Worth the extra.

It's a while since we've eaten here, no idea why!Good ambience, great service. The 4 of us went for Fish dishes. Two traditional Haddock and Chips. Two had the Lyme Regis Plaice served with kale, courgette, new potatoes and a delicious sauce.All excellent.Just 2 deserts, Chocolate Brownie and the Affogato, a personal favourite.We will returnHayling Seagoon

We went to the Ben Nicholson exhibition - fabulous. Ate outside under the plane trees. Fish and chips were absolutely wonderful - crisp batter, white flaky fish, gorgeous chips. Generous portions and all piping hot. Good selection of wines, great prices and wonderful venue.

Charming cafe attached to an art galllery in the heart of Chichester ...a hidden courtyard off the main shopping streets so very quiet and relaxing .Comfy seating , pleasant staff and an interesting varied menu ( not huge so think made to order). Wine by the 175 glass or 500ml carafe. I ate zhoug marinated prawns with melon and prosciutto in a mustard dressing which was really delicious.Once again an independent place comes up trumps.Obviously nowhere gets 5 blobs , but 4 is not enough.. this place is on the high side of 4.5. Fully recommended by Torrance Traveller .

Superb food great service lovely place one of the best bistro cafe I have eaten at....

It’s good to see the Pallant Gallery cafe utilising its cafe space to the full. Although some seats are reserved for table service from the interior cafe there is now a counter with an espresso machine serving coffees, teas, cold drinks, teatime cakes and pastries, and at lunchtime a small selection of hot dishes culminating in fish and chips. It’s also a good opportunity to study the sculptures around the edge of the outside space. Perhaps serving staff had a similar preoccupation as they seemed rather slow in clearing and cleaning the tables after use.

A nice quiet civilised corner of Chichester set in an Elizabethan town house with a modern extension adjoining the original house's courtyard. The staff are very courteous, understanding and happy to please. The food is delicious, most ingredients are locally sourced and sensibly well priced. Basic wines are overpriced but that is where they can score over other city centre eateries if they lowered them a bit. Highly recommended.On Tuesday the gallery is open with half price entrance - a bonus.

Our first time back since the start of the first lockdown - this was our favourite spot for Sunday lunch and very glad to say that the standard has been maintained! Delicious roast beef as always and good service - but relaxed and sensible too under the current restrictions - which was refreshing - shout out to Saffron for this. Don't all book at once though as we will need another table soon!

Possibly one of the best Sunday lunches I've ever been sold. The beef was 'melt in the mouth' and cooked to perfection, served with outstanding sides, veg etc. We've eaten here many times and it's always been very good and the staff are brilliant and they're dealing so well with current Covid restrictions. A brilliant dining experience, many thanks.

Never disappoints. Respectful staff, lovely setting in heart of Chichester, spotlessly clean but food excellent quality. It’s a must visit.

A lovely little café with helpful friendly staff. First class food - the fish and chips I had were probably the best I have ever had, and were clearly only out of the fryer a minute ago. Small menu of top class food and a simple reasonably priced wine list to match. highly recommended. Outdoor or indoor eating.

Sunday roast was excellent and delivered with great service.

Visited with family. This is a pleasant restaurant with friendly staff. The food is to a high standard with a selection of about 6 main dishes as well as some lighter bites. The portion sizes are just right and the price is reasonable considering the quality. My only slight gripe was that the service was a bit slow at times. Theres a lovely court yard which in the summer must be glorious. I would recommend this place

Great pot of tea and super pastries. Great place to pause and reflect after you’ve seen the exhibitions. And clearly loved by locals for coffee and lunch!

I forgot to book which would have been a mistake if I'd gone later. Being 12:30, I was in luck and had a seat in the garden under the vine. A very "clean" and tasty Lebanese Chicken salad with local tomatoes and pitta with tea. All served promptly with courtesy. Easy for going to an exhibition.

Went here today for a treat for lunch. I found the venue very covid secure. Staff seemed to diligent to be seating people apart. Just had a light lunch which was tasty and delicious and was well presented. It's not the cheapest place to eat in town but it is a lovely place. Highly recommended for a pleasant, safe lunch .

We took a dear friend for a birthday lunch. Manager Charlotte was charming and a complimentary glass of fizz (though just the one!) was a nice touch. The menu was confusing. Difficult to tell which dishes were starters or mains or light lunches. Quite expensive for lunchtime. I would recommend at lunchtime providing a set lunch menu of 2 or 3 courses for a set price. The restaurant was not busy. Had not been busy all week. However the food was pretty good. Not overly generous but tasty. Nicely presented. A pleasant lunch.

What a pleasure to enjoy the whole experience. The presentation, flavours and quantities - all excellent. A credit to the chef in times when disappointment is not unusual both in the UK and even France.

We had an excellent Sunday lunch here. First of all my gin and tonic was excellent! A proper measure of gin. They provided three very small but very tasty starters each as as amuse bouche. We had the beef and chicken Sunday lunches and one of the vegetarian options which were all presented very well and tasted delicious. I had the cheese course instead of a pudding which actually was almost too big for me. One of the party was gluten free and was impressed that there was a gluten free lager. There was no trouble at all advising about gluten and providing alternatives where necessary. This was one of the best restaurant meals I have had for a while and I would recommend.

This restaurant is in a lovely setting in a delightful building and the food was only average. We have had better food here before. They struggled to accommodate allergies.

The Husband and I spent 27 years working 46 Sundays a year. We were on leave for the others and always went out to lunch. If we'd known about this place we'd just have come here. The chef had been told of my onion allergy and made me my own gravy (not many go out of their way like that. Very much appreciated). The roast beef was meltingly tasty. The veg delish. The Husband's vegetarian meal was eaten slowly, to savour every mouthful. The glass of local fizz was biscuity and yummy. The service was excellent - not rushed, not too slow. There seemed to be lots of regulars so I'd suggest you book.

Our first visit to Pallant House on a Thursday evening. Lovely friendly atmosphere, looking out onto a walled courtyard and Grade 1 listed townhouse. Our meal was delicious and at £13.50 for 2 courses we thought represented great value. We were very well looked after by Saffron. We'll definitely go back.

Had a stunning evening at pallant restaurants monthly pop up event, the food was beautiful and the service was exceptional, we will definitely be back in the future.

We booked out the whole restaurant for a corporate function. The food was unbelievable and very good value. The service was amazing through the whole process from booking to the actual function. The attention to detail that was given and additional options were fantastic. Would highly recommend and will defiantly be going back.

My fiancé took me here for Sunday roast dinner. The food was superb and cooked perfectly. The complimentary amuse bouche was delicious and a very nice touch. The staff were friendly and attentive. I would definitely recommend and I look forward to going back in the not too distant future.

A very cosy yet small restaurant. Food is excellent and the 3 course meal I had was done to perfection. Located by the roadside, it means getting on a taxi is just a hop from the restaurant main entrance. Overall, highly recommended.

Museum restaurants and cafes are a bit of a gamble but lunch at the restaurant at the Pallant House Gallery in Chichester adds to a very enjoyable visit to this gem of a gallery. Booking necessary as it is a small and quite rightly popular place. Modern British cooking, well sourced local produce (good fish and seafood) and small seasonal menu.

Oh my , what a fabulous meal . Beautiful presented, bursting with quality flavours , lovely fresh vegetables.My roast chicken came with an automatic side order of gravy, which in itself was superb. The entire plate of food was just so tasty and I enjoyed every mouthful.Puddings were equally stunning.The two course set price menu is incredibly good value for top quality food, plus you get the most amazing “amuse bouche “ selection which had tastes tripping off your tongue.Saffron was fantastic, drinks were all brilliant too.I cannot express how much this meal was enjoyed and we will be back soon that’s for sure.

Set lunch of roast chicken and dessert was perfect for us . Plenty of choice on the menu, a pleasant atmosphere, clean surroundings, good service, lovely wines, and well cooked meat and vegetables.

I’ve visited Chichester hundreds of times and have only just found this hidden gem. What a lovely little lunchtime restaurant. We sat inside but the courtyard is lovely for lunch or drinks on a warm summers day. It’s lovely dappled shade is a welcome retreat from the busy high street. Friendly service and exciting menu. Will definitely come again.

This is just a great place to eat, lovely atmosphere with excellent friendly service. The meal was the best, I highly recommend if you’re in Chichester give it a try, we will definitely be back

We treated ourselves to a leisurely meal last Saturday as part of our visit to the Ivor Hitchens exhibition (wonderful!). We sat outside in their beautiful courtyard. It was breezy yet sunny - just right - and we sat sipping wine and eating delicious food and talked art. I love coming here even though it's a long drive, it's always a good experience. Highly recommended!

Popped in for lunch in the restaurant whilst visiting the galary. Interesting choices on the menu and all very enjoyable

The menu at Pallant Restaurant changes regularly so there is always something yummy that has never been tried before. I had the delicious smoked mackerel with a beetroot salad and French fries for the main and a starter of pear, cranberry, Roquefort and Parmar ham that was light and appetising, leaving room for some desert afterwards.

The cafe, as distinct from the restaurant, has great light meals in an informal setting. We enjoyed the crayfish, avocado and grapefruit salad. Really delicious. A peaceful meal away from the noisy, crowded eateries in North Street.

We had wanted to try Pallant Restaurant for a while and finally found an opportunity on their Thursday night opening after seeing the excellent Ivon Hitchins exhibition. The restaurant looked very welcoming and we had good seats. It was busy. The roll we were served on request while waiting was absolutely delicious and obviously homemade. It made us think that we were in for a treat but the meals were quite average. I couldn't eat all my pork as it was so chewy and coated in a greasy standard crumb crust. The sauce with leeks was delicious and made with cream. The waitress asked if everything was ok and when I said the pork was chewy she disappeared and returned to say that the chef was sorry but he has to use what his butcher gives him. Not really what I expected to hear! My husband had fish and chips which he said was good but he wished he's asked for some peas or vegetables with it. The waitress obviously forgot she had asked us if everything was ok as she asked again later! Won't be booking another visit very soon. Quite disappointed by the experience. Had really wanted to like Pallant Restaurant and to want to return.

It was quite busy, but we got a lovely table with room to spread out in, which made it a very comfortable lunch. The selection of food is quite small, but the quality of it was excellent. My chicken and chorizo burger was flavourful and tasty and others said their salmon salad was also of good quality. The staff were relaxed, helpful and friendly. Definitely worth a visit, but quality does need to be paid for!

This is becoming a habit, which we enjoy very much.They remember about my allergies and always have a bottle of dry martini on the go for our pre- lunch drink with the amuse-boucheThe service is excellent We ask for a table by the window.The main course pan fried beef fillet is cooked perfectly.We followed up with a delicious affogato.Will be going back soon

Interesting, varied and tasty menu, as usual. Good wine list. Attentive staff and good service even when busy. You need to book to ensure getting a table but that is the sign of a popular and good restaurant. Compares very favourably with the London galleries.

Just been to Spanish Pop Up Night. Mostly good but shame the staff knew nothing about the food and drinks they were serving. We asked for two fino sherries, were given two glasses of an amber coloured drink, nothing like any fino we have drunk before. Waitress said it was Tio Pepe but that should have been almost clear as a fino should be, not amber. Croquettas, should be ham and cheese in a white sauce. These were potato croquettes! Churros and chocolate sundae - assumed we would get deep fried churros an d a chocolate sundae to dip them in. No way, an ice cream with chocolate sauce and maybe one cold churro broken into pieces mixed in. Better check on your Spanish recipes next time!

Excellent roast beef lunch today. Lovely staff, ambiance and locality. Light and airy dining room Wine and beers priced reasonably. Can not recommend highly enough.

8 of us visited here on Sunday for Mother’s Day. Everyone’s food was fantastic - the salmon looked stunning and a good size portion. The roast lamb was really tasty. Loving the amuse bouches as great to have a little taster. The service and atmosphere is first class - so looking forward to visiting her in the summer and sitting in the courtyard garden with a G&T! A real oasis hidden in the City Centre.

What a great setting - sunny courtyard (or indoors, well-lit by plate-glass windows), delicious coffee served hot - and tasty treats enjoyed. Thank you - lovely personal service.

We enjoyed a 2 course lunch which was well appreciated,not having been for a while hence the new menu for first time.All different and we were impresed by the composition and style of the dishes.Rolls with oil/balsamic,baked camembert;scampi plus side salad,chicken thighs crispy with lovely mushroom sauce and perfect cabbage.V nice service , usual ambience in the gallery complex.Plus coffee and water around £22 each.

Always a pleasure. Fresh ingredients, cooked to order. Friendly service, quiet - just a hint of background music. What a pleasant change. Our party had chicken thighs, scampi, hake and the mushroom veggie offering. All excellent. Gelato to finish. Wonderful. Hayling Seagoon

Lovely environment, poor service.

We had a delicious lunch here when we came to see the Julian Trevelyan exhibition at the weekend. Started with crispy battered whitebait and a pea puree pesto dip followed by exceptionally good calves liver with a pepper sauce - it was scrumptious. The staff were delightful and attentive. We couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more.

We went here having seen the good reviews. Did we go on an off day? The starter of whitebait was crispy but the thickness of the batter meant that the fish inside was overcooked and dry. The calves liver main course was very parsimonious as to the calves liver and the scampi consisted mostly of breadcrumbs. Next time we might try the adjoining café, but won't bother with the restaurant again.

Been to the restaurant several times and never disappoints. Great food, service, atmosphere and surroundings. Just wish it opened more in the evenings!

It’s a relatively small space within the modern extension to the Pallant House Gallery with a splendid view of the sculpture garden. It was originally occupied by the Field & Fork restaurant which has since relocated to a Georgian house off North Street. In its present guise it has a simple a la carte menu whose starters are limited to bread with olives, potted duck and the like followed by mains such as pork belly, rump steak or cannelloni with peppers. There is a set menu Thursdays and a Sunday lunch menu. The restaurant spills over into the museum entrance area where a savoury bap was being offered as well as sandwiches at lunchtime. We visited late afternoon when cakes and pastries previously being served in the entrance area had become the exclusive preserve of the restaurant. We had peppermint and camomile teas with a chocolate brownies and an almond and cherry slice. Some pleasant albeit rather mass produced Edward Bawden prints on the wall. Two champagne bottles on a table sat as a reminder that this is also a fully licensed and indeed rather elegant bar. At another table a young couple enjoyed a very late lunch or early supper of scampi and chips with bottles of craft beer.

Just had what my husband and I said has been our best ever Sunday lunch in a restaurant. Lovely complimentary Amuse Bouche followed by an excellent roast pork lunch, including Yorkshire pudding, red cabbage, cauliflower cheese, green beans, carrots, roast potatoes, crackling and Pork, all so well cooked, nothing over done and so fresh. Service and ambience just right.

Excellent food with an interesting menu, the "Jacob's Ladder" steak blade available on Friday evenings' steak nights is worth a visit in its own right! The city-centre restaurant is incorporated within Chichester's world-class Pallant Art Gallery but is also open outside of the gallery's opening hours. Very pleasant wine garden is an added bonus. Sadly, there is no attached parking but there are plenty of 'pay and display' car parks within easy reach, although these can get quite crowded during the day.

Three of us lunched here and it was so lovely. Being a warm and sunny day, the doors were open to the courtyard which is so pretty. The restaurant has a fresh, very clean ambience. The service was excellent and we were able to take a very leisurely time. The food was lovely, beautifully presented. The staff friendly and attentive. An excellent venue. I would highly recommend it but of course it is popular so booking a table is also recommended. The coffee was good too.

Lovely restaurant and Cafe in the centre of Chichester. The town and this establishment fit like a glove. Very relaxing ambiance, nicely presented plates of good quality ingredients, its a joy to dine here. First class staff and a truly memorable experience.

Good food, suitable for a hot summer's day. Friendly staff (though our starter got forgotten and was given to another table - it was taken off our bill). Nice to be able to sit outside under the tree canopy.

A lovely restaurant great atmoshere. Very relaxed. Staff pleasant and friendly. Great food, seating inside and out. Highly recommend.
