The best restaurants in Chichester South East

Had bad experiences here way back and still sounds like everyone from the staff to the rude manager (Sean) barely know the difference between a tampon and a teabag let alone how to organise smoking to non smoking tables, treat disabled or autistic customers me being one of them or people with various illnesses and similar. I run better pubs and have kept this managers behaviour hot topic which has disgusted everyone I’ve ever worked with. He’s not professional or what the trade looks up to at all… avoid Normally if you see job adverts posted in windows for months on end and no one actually ends up working for you that’s normally because they don’t want to or the manager spends his whole life looking down his nose at the world and won’t find anyone in his toxic mindset. When is it ok to smoke around customers while collecting glasses. Much described all toilets were broken drinks over priced management barely cared to pay customers any attention and are very short tempered with little reason This place ran better when it was called the globe

My little girl wants to be a chicken , god bless you KFC!!

Absolutely sensational . After a terrible experience with just eat the last 2 days they’ve really pulled through . Thanks so much

I was given my panini in a cardboard container. When I asked for a plate, because the contents was leaking, I was greeted by a dismissive attitude by the staff saying ‘pardon’ again I asked for a plate. I pointed to the the clean plates and was told it’s takeaway only. I certainly won’t come back again. Customer service was nonexistent, rude and disrespectful.

Nice place. fast service, food made quick, tasty and feel like good value, milkshakes are awesome here, staff keep it clean and tidy. Music was a bit loud, but that might just be me

Booked an afternoon tea here for myself & 3 others for 28/12/23. Booked & paid for online via CFT site before today's event. I got sent a text reminder including a link to my e-tickets for today. The Minerva Bar is on the first floor via stairs or lift. QR codes needed on arrival. We got seated & advised any drinks outside of the included tea were extra (which I assumed anyway). English breakfast tea in teapots arrived along with a selection of 4 different finger sandwiches, sausage rolls with caramelised onion, a variety of both sweet & savoury scones & 3 types of petit fours to finish. The waiting staff popped over periodically to ask if we needed anything (we topped up both teapots & milk at no extra cost). I've only ever attended the Chichester festival theatre & it's cafe previously (opposite), nothing I've seen has been in the Minerva theatre, so this was my first time here. I understand that sometimes you can have a pre theatre meal here (I'm assuming there's more info on the CFT site regarding this). On this occasion the bar was open specifically for the afternoon tea of which there was us plus 3-4 other tables, so I can't comment if usually it's more busy/noisy. If it wasn't dark you could probably see the theatre opposite & the green open space. There's a large pay to park car park a short walk away. You pay up to 8pm. Cards taken. Not appropriate to take photos on this occasion as took the "older generation" out with us to eat. Lovely few hours out.

Wasn't Happy with the food. Tastless. Hope I don't get food poisoning. Didn't eat it all.

We were a party of 7 celebrating a birthday. You get a buzzer that alerts you when it's free to go to the carvery. There are 4 meats to choose from, 6 or 7 vegetables, plus lovely gravy and sauces. And really lovely Yorkshire puddings. We all enjoyed our meal, and only 3 of us had room for a dessert, we had the ice cream. A Really enjoyable time, and good value

my bf went here and got food poisoning and i know a lot of people who have got food poisoning from here before

Go for a pizza/pasta in Chichester; fab dinner, great service and brilliant staff, esp the manager. Delicious pizza/combo.

Great service and an interesting breakfast menu.

I've had to put all the food back into the oven to finish cooking it. Absolutely filthy when you go to pick up

Food was cold I want my money back things were missing from my order

We recently visited on a Friday afternoon, c.3.00, for a tea & coffee before moving on. Despite only 2 other occupied tables, neither of which was being served, we waited some while for our drinks. Throughout the whole time we were unfortunate enough to suffer the very loudly spoken counter staff telling each other of the time they had opened up with a drunken colleague. All highly amusing no doubt but not very professional and not a good reflection on the cafe. Have not rated as one star as drinks were ultimately ok as has been the case on previous visits but will be very unlikely to return again.

Dropped by for a coffee last week. The service was okay though the coffee was nothing to write home about. The first time I tapped my bank card the assistant said it hadn't worked, so I inserted the card and tried again. Checking my statement a few days later I found I'd been charged twice. So instead of £2.50, the coffee cost me £5.00. I've been in touch with the café several times, but had no response. I hope this isn't happening to everyone!
