The best restaurants in Chichester South East

All was well, a very nice welcome

I came here today with my mum as we were having a quick Look around Chichester. We ordered two hot chocolates and a slice of banana loaf. The hot chocolates were lukewarm which completely contradicts the name. I didn’t say anything as we were about to catch a train and were in a rush. It also took them a good 20 minutes to make two drinks and there was nobody in front of us. Also the banana cake was so dry it must have been left out uncovered. Would definitely avoid if you would like to actually have a hot drink.

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 a takeaway whilst staying in a local caravan park. All of the food was hot and of a high standard. One of the best I’ve had.

came here for lunch a couple months ago, food was great, staff were great, will defiantly go back

Hoorah. Apricot danish has returned. Cappuccino remains my favourite.

Amazing service from Isabelle will definitely be back!

Lovely meal. Good service and delicious food.

Can't comment on food only really have hot drinks. The staff are efficient and friendly, drinks are well made with a good range of seasonal drinks.

Lovely, freshly cooked fish. Of course you wait for it, while it is cooked fresh, and well worth the wait. OMG i loved the batter and the chips were exceptional, not like some of the chips that get served up which are limp these days. This is a local business and i was just passing through last week. Friendly staff with some added banter , who clearly know the locals. If i pass through again, it'll be F&C for me !

Food and atmosphere was fantastic. Service however wasn’t great. A warm welcome for my Dad in his wheelchair and first drinks arrived promptly. We then waited half an hour for our order and only once we’d found someone. We then had to chase the wine order and then for the main course. It was busy towards the end of our meal but initially there were plenty of staff and only a few customers eating.

Lovely restaurant. Food was fantastic. Staff very knowledgeable on my dietary requirements (coeliac), explaining what is likely to be cross contaminated. Unfortunately, I had to leave a little early, and I was unable to pay for my food & drinks separately from the group. I had to do a bank transfer to my friends for my share when it came to paying for my food & drink. Not a massive issue though.

Shocking! Over two hours before any food was served. They had to change one of the meals 5 mins before it was bought out as they ran out of pasta. Most of the food was cold. We were told that food was being platted up when asking where the food was and that took another 20mins to which we ask again, and they said, it's being plated up. 10mins later, after we could see half the order being left under the warming lamp, it arrived. Was incredibly disappointing. When asked about the bill, they said they took 'some of the drinks off' and then when questioned, they offered a slight discount. I felt very sorry for the waitress as she said she had no authority for the discount. That had to be done via management. Once she spoke to management out the back, the waitress came back on management's behalf. It seems that who ever the manager was that afternoon could not be bothered to come and speak to us. Incredibly poor from them. A really disappointing afternoon. We shall not return.

So this was my first time here, and we were very impressed considering this was the Christmas menu. Normally there isn't enough to eat, or the vegetables are so al-dente they are raw. But everything from start to finish was lovely.

Nice pub but the food was not good - all 4 of our meals (2 sausages and 2 pies) were burnt. We did point this out but the publican did not seem unduly concerned.
