The best restaurants in Harting Chichester South East

This quirky café is located in a fairly idyllic South Downs village, surrounded by lovely old houses. We went for coffee and cake; we both had the enormous pistachio croissants. Coffee was very well made and service was very prompt. When we visited the staff were putting up Christmas decorations, so the seating area was full of people, and it was difficult to navigate around the tables. A small point, but the menus consisted of a wad of sheets of paper with options for coffee on the top sheet, and lunch on those below; it would have been nice to look through and think about whether we might return for lunch another time, but they were swiftly whisked away. A full menu on a large laminated sheet might be better. I had hoped to buy a few 'stocking fillers' from the items for sale on the shelves, but they were all so expensive as to be out of my price range. While there make sure to visit the fascinating 14th-century church of St Mary and St Gabriel just up the hill, which contains many extraordinary monuments and much stained glass.

Absolutely lovely experience, food and beer amazing

Disappointed! Children’s meal was poor. Steaks very salty and overcooked. Sides too salty. Service was all over the place - the butcher (and us!) didn’t understand what we had to do as I assume the waitress should have been with us to provide table number etc? Told three different staff about the issues with the food. Manager (Paul?) eventually came over but mostly defensive and did not want to hear what we had to say once we had declined their offer to re-cook the steaks. What a shame as it’s a great setting and nice concept.

We had a really lovely stay here on a Sunday night in January. I was pleasantly surprised by how buzzy the pub was on a Sunday evening with a great atmosphere and range of ages of customers having fun. Food was good and the rooms warm and comfortable - perfect after a soggy walk on the Downs!

Lovely atmosphere. Lovely food, great fish and chips and chicken and ham pie. Dog friendly. Service was great. We will be back!

Called early one Saturday lunchtime and had a ploughman's lunch. They were very quiet, but I suspect this was due to the poor weather and our timing. The food and drink was great, with a large portion, and we will return.

Very nice, friendly staff and we enjoyed their food and the ambient Amazing place for relaxing and walking around

Lovely place, sadly me and my partner got followed around by the manager the hole time like we were I don’t know going to steal something or cause some sort of trouble. Was here purely to pick up some bulbs with my nanna. Sad.
