Harden's says
Set in a converted 18th-century threshing barn on the Wiston wine estate between Horsham and Worthing in West Sussex, this relaunched restaurant features wines, meat and vegetable produced on the estate and cooking by highly rated chef Tom Kemble, who made waves in London at the Bonham's auction house in the years before covid.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“In a beautiful high-ceilinged barn-style building on the Wiston wine estate” – between Horsham and Worthing in West Sussex – this venue was relaunched in 2022, with a “wine list not confined to Wiston wines, although these feature heavily in the sparkling section”. Foodwise, it offers produce from the estate prepared by Tom Kemble, who made waves in London at the Bonham’s auction house in the years before Covid. “The menu provides three-four choices on each course – on a good day it can be very pleasant”. (You can also visit for breakfast, from 8.30 am on weekends).
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).

Chalk Restaurant Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Had lunch here after visiting a local garden for snowdrops. The restaurant itself is light and airy. Food was fine but not exceptionally "
"Well cooked and presented food, cod with cauliflower purée and pickled shavings of cauliflower with samphire was delicious. Service was off hand, unco-ordinated and inattentive from what was admittedly a young clearly inexperienced crew. It was a shame as it let down the very accomplished cooking. "
