The best restaurants in Chichester North Chichester South East

Attended for a work do, paid £10 deposit and was under the impression that I’d get that back towards drinks but was told it’s non refundable. Freezing cold, everything was wet and was so dark too. I couldn’t bare to have a drink as I didn’t want to be any colder than I already was. I would never come back.

This place has great beer and should be a winner but the bar staff: OMG. You wait ages to be served, only to soak up a bunch of attitude and then they call last orders at 10 pm. Every Thursday when the pub is still half full. Really? At these prices? I don't know who is managing this bunch of jokers but if the Big Smoke Brewing Company still own it, they need to come down and sort this. So sad: great pub ruined by crappy staff.

Went for our anniversary the food was not as good as we expected, wouldn't go back.

Had lunch here and was very disappointed. The fish pie consisted of 3 king prawns, piece of cod about size of 50p , and a large quantity of mussels (which are molluscs) - all very tasteless. Where were the types of fish that should be in a fish pie? Also, half a lager shandy was ordered; the barman obviously didn't understand the request, even though it was repeated three times, as the drink arrived in a full pint glass.

The general manager was very unprofessional, sloppy appearance, I did not get their name because they even had their name tag upside down and when I asked them to fix it so I could see the name they kicked me out of the store for the franchise owners information she refused. Very poor customer service From the GM. There was one employee in there that was absolutely 10 steps above the general manager, who should probably be in that position.

The wonderful staff fitted us in, even though we didnt have a reservation. Very busy. I was nosey looking at everyone's food. It all looked amazing.

Attended a wedding here and it was amazing! Gorgeous venue, quite quirky but tasteful. We had exclusive use of the premises so guests could sit by the fire in the lounge, or out on the terrace - with stunning views across the estate. Ceremony was in the music room, which was a little snug but made for a very personal atmosphere. Food and wine was delicious. The evening party was out in the courtyard with a canopy overhead (handy when the rain came later on!) and was dressed beautifully, with fairy lights in the trees and candles on the tables. They even had a supply of blankets for when the evening chill came. I want to pay tribute to the staff - most of whom were quite young - they were so friendly, helpful and professional. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and everything was done with a smile. The whole day went without any snags (that we were aware of) and made the day so special for the bride and groom.

Popped in for lunch following a walk to the Halnaker Windmill. Managed to get the last table available.  I had the "lunchtime" size fish and chips with tartare sauce and mushy peas and my partner had the gammon, egg and chips.  Both were very good. The "lunchtime" size fish and chips was a perfect size. My partner then had the crumble and ice cream and I had a mini version with custard and a flat white coffee. All very good too. Friendly staff and a great menu. A good selection of alcohol free beers. Definitely one to visit again when in the area, would book in advance.

been coming to this restaurant for about 10 yrs and has always consistently good not a cheap eats kind of place but service food and quality has been good but went recently and has gone downhill food not anywhere near the standard it used to be portions smaller less meat or fish and flavours nothing like they should be im not a food critic but go to Chinatown a lot and all the main we had at bejing palace tasted the same base sauce of hot chilli wouldnt recommend ever again which is sad

The service is wonderful - we could not fault the front of house team. The food was terrible - bread served with poor quality olive oil and vinegar… the bread was sliced and not fresh (certainly not ‘artisan’). Starters - prawn cocktail was the out right winner… my smoked salmon was served with 2 small thinnest slices of soda bread I have ever had… butter came in a packet and only after we asked for it. The mains were awful… we sent the soufflé back as it was like an omelette. Only to be told that the chef’s response was “it comes like that”. We used to dine at the sister restaurants in Christchurch which are infinitely better. This is a very poor relation and we would not go again. The front of house team were excellent but sadly that doesn’t fill an empty tum.

Unacceptable delay in coffee, I suspect they had forgotten! Have been regulars, but this experience is probably going to make us try one of the many other options in town.

Very nice place. Staff are very kind and friendly. Food is fresh and delicious!amazing!Everything was briliant

We attended an event the other night. A unique venue a bit like a war bunker. Bar staff friendly but the whole venue could do with a clean. Reasonably priced. The stairs leading down to it, makes it not disabled friendly.

A small deli with seats inside and out and really enjoyed our food - a New Yorker bagel ( pastrami, sauerkraut and gherkin mayonnaise) which was top notch and a gluten free tuna mayo sandwich made with soft gluten free bread. Good choice of hot and cold drinks. Friendly staff. Would return.

This is the canteen at Chichester University. The food is excellent!
