It’s “a little old-fashioned”, but that does little to dent the appeal of Viv Casson’s “lovely” restaurant, a short drive from the Goodwood Estate; the venue celebrated its twentieth anniversary in 2023, and whether you go for the Sunday lunch or regular themed dinners, it “delivers on efficiency and solidly good food”.

“A visit to this delightful restaurant is an event, not just an opportunity to eat”, agree the many fans of Viv Cassons’s “very good” cooking – who snap up bookings for the regular themed diners. Her husband, known simply as ‘Cass’, looks after the wine list and front of house. Even those who find it “a bit dated” say the food is “very good”, and its “traditional” qualities include the fact that it’s “well priced”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
