The best restaurants serving French food in Chichester South East

Love this restaurant. Very pleasantly surprised at the attentive service, superb food & good wine. Lovely atmosphere, lots of locals, decor of a traditional Indian restaurant. Large menu. All the staff were welcoming & the food was fab. It’s a great asset to Midhurst.

I don’t like to write a bad review but we did not have a great experience here compared to our previous visits. The staff were very friendly and welcoming when we arrived and our drinks were ordered and served very quickly, however our food took absolutely ages to come out, even though we were there very early in the evening when it wasn’t that busy. By the time the food did come out, the restaurant had filled up a bit more and there were a lot of tables with just drinks and no food. I felt sorry for the waiting staff so didn’t complain, but it wasn’t a great experience. When the food did come out, there was nothing wrong with it, but to be honest it was all quite average for what we paid. I always felt we had value for money when we’ve eaten here before, but it seems as if the prices have gone up but the quality of the food has gone down. None of this is the fault of the waiting staff, who were friendly and professional, despite clearly being under pressure due to the slowness of the kitchen.

I arrived at the upstairs bar and grill at around 5.15pm. It was half empty and I was approached by a man who I assume was the manager. I asked for a table for two, of which there were plenty. In a rather condescending tone he informed me that they were fully booked. I drew his attention to all the empty tables and was told rather abruptly and unapologetically that they would be occupied later. As it was not yet 5.30pm I think it would have been polite of him to perhaps have said, 'We are expecting a rush at about six o' clock, but you are welcome to a table until then'. After all they serve only drinks and snacks.
