The best restaurants in Chichester South East

Lovely pub if you're looking for somewhere for a quiet meal. Good variety of food (decent sized menu plus specials) which all tastes home cooked and decent quality at a reasonable price. Pub is a little on the chilly side at winter but completely understandable given how ridiculous energy costs are nowadays and how much it must cost to attempt to heat large high ceiling rooms with single glazing - just make sure you wear a jumper in cooler months and you'll be fine. Friendly service and nice decor.

I have been visiting for the past 28 or so years - lovely quaint tearoom - decor not changed at all but this is the way I like it - lovely private garden - I always have the brown fruit scones which are lovely and their welsh rarebit is really tasty - yes its expensive but worth it - no nasties in the food!

So lunch for 4, 2 courses and a sorbet 2 not so large glasses of wine and a couple of pints. £250! So it must have been amazing, actually not really very mediocre, starters were very small and mains took very little skill. Told off for delaying the chef from his break!! It’s a shame as this used to be a great fun pub but with ridiculous prices like this and questionable service atitude no wonder there were only 2 other people having lunch.

Un hermoso pub, en un lugar hermoso. El personal era amable y acogedor y la comida era increíble, vivo en Londres, pero sin duda intentaré hacer otra visita, me imagino que sería encantador durante el verano

the staff here are lovely and has a good atmosphere. the food is amazing unique and delicious. would recommend to everyone who walks by.

Very nice people with excellent customer service and the food was really tasty, hot and the portions were very good. We went early evening and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Some of the reviews on here seem to be written by people with an ulterior motive. They certainly bear no resemblance to the positive experience we had. Will happily return if we are in the area.

Food was so nice tonight, owners are lovely and always like a chat. Family pub with pool table etc. We will be back definitely

We tried the restaurant for our anniversary and weren’t disappointed. Despite some previous reviews that aren’t that great, we thought we’d try it and I can honestly say it was absolutely wonderful. The service is old school and excellent. We were extremely well looked after and we both thought the food was absolutely first class. It is a very old building and as such the decor and atmosphere is very ‘of its time’. It’s not modern and 21 century styled. It is sympathetic to its history which we loved. The gazpacho was delicious (no need for croutons and keep it really cold please) and the scallops, lamb and accompaniments were absolutely delicious. My husband had a fillet steak and he was very happy - cooked rare as he likes it and tender and delicious. The pavlova could have been better (ice cream instead of cream and the meringue poss not homemade) but honestly for the money it was excellent value. We had a really wonderful evening and will definitely return. Please do give it a go.

Great service and friendly staff. My go to Curry house. Always a smile and welcoming face at the Cottage. Now with special discounts.

Stopped off for coffee in the new Arcobaleno cafe, formally Crumbs and Cream. It was really good coffee and very friendly owner. I will go again.

Food good, staff dreadful service awful. We went for Fathers day breakfast, first in the cafe, asked for a highchair and told bluntly "over there". Food was good but took 45 minutes to arrive. The staff were very rude and sarcastic. We live locally and we're considering joining, that's not happening. I am actually surprised they employ people as rude as the staff here.

We chose a full English Breakfast at the Gatehouse Cafe and a coffee each after shopping in the garden centre. The service was prompt and attentive, the coffees were of a generous cup size and lovely and hot. The breakfast was beautifully cooked to order, hot, and of great quality. It was the best cooked breakfast I’ve had out for a very long time. The waiting staff were attentive to detail.. they brought marmalade quickly when requested and also went out of their way to bag me up some coffee grounds to take away which was very kind. Pricing was about right given the current economic crisis and the quality second to none. I would particularly like to thank the lady chef in the kitchen area who prepared and cooked our breakfasts last Sunday.

Aweful service, visited with my sister for a quick lunch, took ages for our sandwiches to arrive, my hot chocolate was cold, plates/dishes left on tables - seemed to be plenty of people milling around in the kitchen, and that’s where they stayed. One person bringing food out, two behind the counter - no co-ordination. Queue to be served was ridiculous. Don’t think I’ll be visiting again.

Bureaucratic staff with rules about everything restricting enjoyment. Cafe miles away at your inconvenience and shop highly convenient, hmm I wonder why?!!! Basic, tasteless, cakes and biscuits all frozen then re-heated, why pay stupid prices for rubbish food? It's a money spinner for NT who've clearly lost their way when it comes to any kind of customer service and the parasitic family who still live in/exploit the masses. Giv it a miss..

After walking up from East Wittering, I queued for 20 mins just to grab a can of cold drink as the outside bar was closed, only to be told I had to join the queue formed from the terrace door opposite the main entrance, which is actually the exit!?? All those people were getting food and had avoided the proper queue. It wasn’t the fault of the poor girl who told me but someone should have redirected them! So I walked all the way back to East Wittering (parched!) to get a cold drink elsewhere. Ive used this cafe a lot and its usually lovely, maybe I’ll avoid half term next time 😂
