We came in last night, Saturday. The food, service and experience was incredible. Although we did have to witness some nightmare customers who could not have been ruder to Eddie who was can I say amazing with us and seemed to have the whole restaurant under control. Our server Charlie was incredible also. We will most definitely be back and recommending to others! Thank you The STEAKIST, we will be back.

This place is fantastic - highly recommended! Charlie is phenomenal! We visited the Steakist by chance, as it was our first evening in Arundel, and - luckily! - the Steakist seated us without a reservation. So glad that it worked out, because the dinner was excellent and we had such a fantastic experience. We started with the prawn cocktail, and had The Butchers Sharer for the main (three types of steak, prepared medium-rare, plus two sauces), with a side of truffle fries and a mixed salad. The food was superb overall, and the steak in particular was exceptional. Our server, Charlie, was absolutely fantastic and took great care of us. He was very attentive and ensured we had a lovely evening. The atmosphere of the restaurant is classy and elegant. Dim lighting, unassuming music - you could have a date here as much as a big celebration. Lovely place and can't wait to come back!

Hollie was a fantastic server—friendly and on it. The food was good, staff solid, and the vibe was nice… but the portion sizes? Let’s just say my steak was more of a suggestion than a meal. We did get a laugh out of the kitchen drama though—nothing like a bit of shouting to spice up lunch. Guess that’s part of the “lunch deal” experience.

extremely overpriced. we started with 3 tiny scallops served with flavourless pea puree and barely perceptible crumbs of parma ham, followed by jaw achingly chewy (med rare) sirloin, two minute grilled cherry tomatoes and pepper sauce which was too thick to pour and served in a tiny dip bowl. Hugely disappointing for the money. The music was distracting dreadful too, but maybe only because the speaker was above my head 😬

We recently celebrated with our family at The Steakist in Arundel after our wedding at the town hall, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we started making arrangements, Hollie was incredibly helpful—friendly, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure everything went smoothly for our special day. The food was absolutely superb. Everything was cooked to perfection and full of flavour. Our guests are still talking about the quality of the food and how relaxed and welcoming the atmosphere was! The team made us feel right at home, and the service throughout the evening was attentive without ever feeling intrusive. It was the perfect way to mark such an important day with our loved ones. We’re so grateful to Hollie and the team at The Steakist for helping to make our wedding day even more memorable.

We were totally WOWed by every aspect of The Steakist in Arundel. We were staying in the town for a Goodwood event and were lucky to secure a table. From the warm welcome to my perfectly cooked steak and my husband's equally good Seared Tuna everything was perfect. Whenever we know we'll be in Arundel again we'll definitely book we'll in advance. Thank you to the team at The Steakist.

First the positives: the food was excellent, could not fault it. I also thought that the service, on the whole, was good. The lady that first seated us was very helpful in moving us to a different table as the first one was extremely draughty. The waiters were attentive, although one did border on obsequity. Now for the rub. I logged onto their WiFi as there is no signal in the place whatsoever. Unbeknownst to me when you sign into their WiFi for the first time they send you an email offering 10% off your bill. I paid the bill and then discovered the email. I felt really put out that they were offering 10% off and I hadn’t taken advantage of it. I asked if they could refund me and put the bill through again with the 10% off which is eminently possible and reasonable but I was given very short shrift and left with a very bitter taste in my mouth. I was told to use it next time I came which is an unlikely 200 mile round trip. My advice: if you are going to be offering 10% off then advertise it properly on the table so people are aware of it please.

Great establishment. Deserves a 5 star rating. The prices were fairly reasonable, the staff were nice and kind, the menu options surprisingly plentiful (which is good if you don't eat certain types of food) for a steak-focused restaurant, and the food was fresh and tasty. The wait time for food was okay, considering that they are such a small establishment, and you could pick any of the free tables, which there were loads of. All in all, this gets my seal of approval, and hopefully it gets yours too!

Second time to this place which was until a couple of weeks ago, unknown to me. It is indeed a place for a good steak so having been once as a couple we went back as a family and my son commented it's the best steak he can remember having... so 4 stars.. but only not five as they were out of the equally good Sea Bream last Saturday night. Odd time to be out of a main menu line - as we dine early. But hey ho, over all good experience, keen young staff and the truffle parmesan fries are yummy

I recently visited here with my wife for valentines day, however was a little dissapointed First the positives - lovely environment / decor, and the service from our waiter was very friendly. He was great at explaining the menu to us, and the wine selection was great. However, this is where I have to mark it down - despite us ordering the chefs special for the three steaks where we could share, the steak itself was cold when served to us and also was a tad burnt - normally I like my steak medium, however my wife likes her steak well done and even for her it was charred / burned. I could tell the chef was quite stressed as it was Valentines Day, however it was a little disappointing compared to other restaurants. I would give this a benefit of the doubt and try again maybe when less busy...

Really enjoyed our meal at the Steakist. Upon arrival the smells and atmosphere were inviting and both the person who showed us to the table and the person serving us were welcoming and attentive throughout. The food we had as all very good and well prepared and I could not fault any of it. The negatives (small as they are) is he were sat by exposed heating pipes and our table was literally touching a radiator so we both caught oursleves on that by accident and the temperature was a little too warm. The only other niggle is the menu offered a full rack of ribs and what we received was a full rack of baby back ribs. This is a fairly important distinction to make as it significantly changes the size of the dinner. Please update your menu to reflect this. We were sat right by the service hatch and i commend how well and slick that was run, food did not sit around waiting once it was ready and from what I could tell no errors were made and every table was full.

I finally got time to share my latest experience at the Steakist. We went there a couple of weeks ago. Perfect time of the year to enjoy their new dish, the sharing roast board. Find below my feed back sent to Hollie, the Manager. Good evening Hollie, Hope all is well with you. Thank you for taking time to email me about our last visit at the Steakist. We had a wonderful time and we would like to thank you again for your hospitality. The service was professional but not too intrusive. As a former Head Chef, I couldn’t find any negative points. Our experience was enjoyable due to a smooth service, intention to details and quality of the meal. The fact that you have recommended us the 3 meat sharer was a nice touch. The four of us loved it. The quality of the meal was excellent, the presentation was great, portion size was very good and finally the crackling and red wine just to die for!! The scallops was delicious too! We will definitely come back and I have already started to spread word about the Steakist to my colleagues and friends!

Booked for Sunday lunch having heard the adverts on V2 Radio and having walked past a couple of times when visiting La Campania. On the whole it was OK, the waiter/waitresses were attentive and served us well. The food was ok, the meat was re-heated under the grill before serving and the edges on the pork and chicken were a little dry, the beef was rare to our liking. Maybe a little under for my wife. They forgot the Yorkshire puddings, supplied after asking, and they forgot the Cauliflower Cheese, once more, supplied after asking. We went for the sharing of three meats at £30 a head and after a couple of drinks I found it to be an expensive Sunday lunch. We have our favourite Sunday lunch venues and would not change but glad we tried it. Perhaps a Steak night is worthwhile? We will give it a think.

We'd dined at The Steakist in June when we did the Goodwood Revival and loved it, so it was an easy pick when we returned to Goodwood in October. Nothing had changed and we settled into a great experience within seconds of being seated. All the tables are excellent and the vibe is perfect. Our waiting staff were Jasmin and Isabelle, both of whom were wonderfully attentive without crowding us and were quick to accommodate our requests. When ordering wine, I'll usually order a glass of red to arrive with my main, but in most restaurants I'm usually required to remind the waiting staff when this fails to materialise - not so with Jasmin who delivered it just as my main appeared. We had such a lovely evening we booked for dinner the following evening, which on that occasion saw us seated upstairs. Once again Jasmin was covering our table, and once again the service was faultless - as was the food and wine. Thank you for two great evenings - we will definitely be returning.

I was disappointed after visiting many times. My starters were burnt, so when I asked for a replacement, I got a half portion to replace it. Felt like a petty response from the kitchen. Waiter had no idea how to serve wine, no taste offered, and proceeded to spill it while filling the glasses. All simple things, but I was left feeling that no one is managing the junior staff and there is a bad service culture.

From reading previous reviews there seems to be some common themes which I also personally experienced at this restaurant. Firstly, the service is not good at all - We ordered beef dripping chips and just received normal chips and when asked why we were told they had ran out of beef dripping chips. So they had just decided not to tell us and gave us normal chips instead and hope we didn’t notice? The poor guy on his own in the kitchen was serving up food and calling for it to be delivered to tables but no servers were around so food just sat there for ages. As we were sat by the open kitchen we could actually see what food was being prepared etc. Pretty much every single starter was shop bought from Tesco which feels very cheap and not what we had expected given the prices. We had the steak sharing board for main, the steaks were ok and cooked medium rare as requested but nothing special really. If you plan to visit the steakist I would suggest skipping starters and just having the steak. One positive is that the cocktails are quite nice.

No flavour to steak, Ordered beef dripping fries and got normal Asked for tap water and was charged for bottle water. Blue cheese sauce had one tiny tiny piece of blue cheese at the bottom. Over priced for what it was. To be fair the lad cooking was on his own. Shame!

We paid ≈ £58 for a takeaway dinner for two and the quality of food and their ability to accommodate dietary restrictions was unacceptable. We ordered two honey garlic chicken skewers, and one of them had to be tree nut and gluten free. I assumed they would have a gluten free option for the skewers for the same price as regular, as the dish says gluten free option available on the menu. Instead, we were charged full price for two orders of skewers, that did not come with couscous (only one needed to be gluten free). As a replacement for the couscous, the waiter behind the counter listed their side dishes, and charged us regular price for these as well (two dauphinoise potatoes) which means there was not a gluten free replacement, but an additional side one can order for extra cost. So £46 for two orders of chicken skewers with dauphinoise potatoes instead of couscous. To make matters worse, when the waiter brought us our order they gave us just a couple teaspoons worth of honey garlic glaze on the side, and told us it was the last of it. Upon arriving home, we came to find that the skewers were completely unglazed and the little bit we got was all we had. If they had made this clear in the restaurant we would not have accepted the order. It is unacceptable that they would not only still make and serve a dish that they didn’t have enough ingredients to finish the primary flavor profile for, but still charge us full price for a dish missing its entire side and the sauce that creates the entire flavor of the dish. The chicken was dry and unremarkable, the peppers and onions undercooked. The potatoes in the dauphinoise were under salted and slightly undercooked, and carelessly thrown into a flimsy paper tray with the gratinated cheese completely stuck to the foil. As for the service, when we arrived we asked if we could order takeaway and the person behind the counter said no. Their nearby colleague said they might actually be able to accommodate. He told her no. She left to ask the back of house and came back with someone from the kitchen who very politely said they could do takeaway. She also said they had boxes they could put it in, but we ended up with paper trays covered in foil. The ambiance of the restaurant is nice but forgettable as the style is the typical modern aesthetics you can see anywhere in the world today. The only other item we ordered was ginger ale which I believe was £2.50, and we got ginger beer instead. So that leaves an additional charge of £9.50(hopefully a service charge), which unfortunately remains unknown to us as we didn’t ask for a receipt. We are Americans and this is our first time in Arundel: I certainly hope that these problems were not to take advantage of us as visitors but were instead oversights. Either way, this restaurant is unreasonably overpriced and the quality of food is completely unacceptable. If a restaurant that is primarily focused around high quality cuts of steak isn’t able to grill chicken properly, I would hate to see what they do to a piece of beef. I would not recommend the Steakist to anyone.

Booked a table for 8pm on Thursday. We were the last ones in and from the start point it felt like they wanted us out of there quickly. The waiter was hovering trying to get the order in as soon as he could. I wanted to order a sharing steak and asked if the rib eye could be cooked medium (best way as the fat caramelises) and the rump and sirloin medium rare). We were told that they couldn’t do that as the last time he asked, the chef went mental!! Starters came out within less than 10 minutes, I had scallops and there were only 2 and weren’t massive. Mains were served about another 10 minutes after that. I had a Rib eye that was not a great cut of meat, more fatty than usual and was char grilled, but burnt on the edges and lacked any form of seasoning and no jus poured back over. The macaroni cheese was also cold and clearly microwaved. Mushrooms and chips were also undercooked. We were out of there within an hour and £160 lighter in the pocket for 3 of us. No other drinks were offered, we only had a pint each and then went back to the Swan a few doors down to finish the night off. I’ve eaten in many decent steak restaurants in my lifetime and this is an over priced beefeater at best. Very disappointed.

Wonderful food! Had the best (head and shoulders) beef wellington in memory. The trimmings were delicious with standard setting roast potatoes and gravy. Charming service. Deserves to be a great success.

Unfortunately to say this was the worst steak I've ever had. I really had high hopes especially when seeing the price £36 for a fillet steak which I don't mind paying if it's delicious of course. Initially it came and swapped fries for dauphinoise potatoes and the potatoes were undercooked then cutting into my steak which I requested medium it was rare/blue I asked for it to be sent back to be cooked abit more, 2 minutes later it returned, I assume the whole plate had just been put under the grill as dauphinoise were now black ontop, I continued to try the steak which was now pretty black on the outside but still raw inside, the taste was awful, it tasted so burnt, there was no butter used to baste the outside just dry and burnt. Honestly it doesn't have a patch on miller and carter which is also slightly cheaper, I then had dessert (I was still hungry the sides were tiny) another £8 went on a brownie and unfortunately that came out raw inside too, it was just like wet cake mix inside. I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately I would never return it was one of the worst meals I've had anywhere and the most expensive.

I can't rate for anything as I cancelled my table du to my guess feeling pourly, but they charged me £20 for not turning up. It is not like I didn't turn up, I phone few hours before to cancel. What's wrong 😬😬😬

We came to Arundel to celebrate our anniversary, and stumbled across the "Steakist". We had the sharing platter and it was incredible. Meat was cooked to perfection and the staff were very welcoming. Only tiny criticism was that the sauces were slightly too small. We could have easily eaten a jug full of the peppercorn and garlic sauces

Lovely selection of food here it's not just steak! We ordered shredded beef starter and halloumi fries - delicious. My beef burger was on the dry side but the chicken was really good. Fries are perfect!

If steak is your thing this is a great spot to try. Whilst ever so slightly on the pricey side for the area the food and service is consistently great. I can recommend the Butchers Block Sharer in particular it is great to share if you are a couple and can easily go around a family of three if you are taking a child with you.

The steaks were stunning. Cooked to perfection. Took my sons for their 17th Birthday dinner. We were not disappointed! Great sized portions. The chips the best we have had in a long long time. Cooked in beef dripping! Deserts were light and perfect end to the meal. Service was quick pleasant and food appeared without undue delays. Our waiter Jack was helpful and courteous! Definitely will come again.

My story started when I read the DELUXE menu. I was wowed… I ended up ordering pan fried scallops for my starter. (first time trying scallops and they were sooo good) for my main I ordered the honey chicken and oh my gosh, I was surprised. The best honey chicken I’ve ever had. I also order a side of beef dripping chips. THE BEST CHIPS EVER! I would recommend this restaurant any day of the week. Overall this restaurant is 5 stars ⭐️

We always have a wonderful meal at The Steakist. Tonight I had the scallops and then Burrata salad for the first time and it was really good. Our friends had the butchers block as a sharing platter which was huge and also delicious. Great portions and so tasty. My son had the beef dripping chips which were so crispy and tasty! Thank you The Steakist!

Long walk to the George at Burpham for a lunch. I was not disappointed, the toasted cheddar and chorizo sandwich was excellent as were the triple cooked chips.

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

The BEST coffee in town, side note the vegan caramel oat milkshake with 2 shots of coffee in it is SO good 😁 The only note is if you can't do stairs, there is limited seating downstairs, and can get quite a buy, so try for a quieter time

Excellent café serving quality food. Delicious bacon, meaty sausages, and perfectly cooked soft scrambled eggs. Importantly for us Carlyle’s Cafe’ is also a dog friendly establishment, the friendly staff even present your loved one with a tasty treat! Thanks for a great visit, we look forward to returning.

Was in the area and fancied a curry, this is a very small restaurant near the water and offers the usual menu options. Very nice food and the bill was surprisingly low.
