Overall, all good, Bill's is always nice!! Our waitress was very patient with my Dad, and didn't rush him when he was ordering etc. The only one thing I noticed was it look a while for our dishes to come out, but it was a very busy Saturday evening, it didn't spoil the quality of the food, which was yum!!! Will visit again for sure!!!! 😊

Chichester

About the restaurant

You'll find Bill's Chichester restaurant smack bang in the middle of the Butter Market (we promise we serve more than butter) in a beautiful Grade II-listed building. Our walls may be old, but our menu and ingredients are always fresh. Pop in from 8am and check out our tempting breakfast menu. Picture fluffy stacks of pancakes, hearty sandwiches and the classic full English - all served with a dash of Bill's flair. Our doors remain open 'til late, so whether it's brunch, lunch or dinner, we've got you covered (including gluten-free options). Grab a seat at Bill's after strolling the Chichester cobbles, and let us take care of you.

We visit Cotes Horsham on a regular basis. Service was good and a good selection of food. It was a Saturday lunch time when we visited so was fairly busy which was good to see. Horsham town centre was busy which was lovely to see and the market was on.

About the restaurant

The Cat Inn is a 16th century free house set in the picturesque village of West Hoathly, a hilltop village set in the heart of the Sussex countryside. It is in within easy distance from the towns of East Grinstead and Haywards Heath and only 25 minutes from Gatwick Airport.

The Pub with its oak beams and two inglenook fireplaces proffers a warm and cosy atmosphere in the winter, whilst our terrace is perfect to enjoy a drink and food in the summer months. Being a free house we pride ourselves in the quality of our real ale, and concentrate on local breweries, such as Harvey's of Lewes and other micro breweries. Our food is cooked to order, using fresh, seasonal and where possible locally sourced ingredients. Our menus change on a regular basis and we also offer a small selection of seasonal specials on a daily basis.

We welcome children over the age of 7. Dogs are welcome in the "pub" area of the Cat, they are not permitted in the dining room

About the restaurant

Located just outside Chichester, at the heart of the Goodwood Estate, Farmer, Butcher, Chef celebrates the beef, pork, and lamb reared at Goodwood Home Farm. Aptly named, the farmer, butcher, and chef collaborate to discuss the available cuts of meat, which are featured in our hearty Butcher’s Boards and a constantly changing seasonal menu.

Awarded two AA Rosette's, it has a relaxed atmosphere with quintessentially British interiors by Leveson Design. With a bar and beautiful courtyard where you can enjoy live music and BBQs throughout the summer months, alongside a full calendar of events, the restaurant is a space to enjoy exceptional food with friends, family and dogs are very welcome too.

Goodwood has been farmed by the Dukes of Richmond for over 300 years. Susan, Duchess of Richmond was one of the Soil Association’s earliest members. Her belief in organic food and animal welfare were instrumental in Goodwood Home Farm becoming the first 100% organically fed dairy in the country.
