Where to Eat in West Sussex!
22/09/08 in General by Dan Clarke | 2 CommentsRight here we go lets get some feedback on this blog topic! As a Chef and I believe quite a good one I often get asked 2 questions quite a lot….
1. What’s your favourite meal?…. Ham, Egg and Chips!
2. Where do you eat in West Sussex?……..
Well I am by no way a snob but I do appreciate good food, Cooked well and reasonably priced. I have no problem paying for something that is good but cannot stand over priced rubbish!
I do not eat out as much as I should or can as I am very busy at Red Anywhere but also I have 3 young Children so not always easy to get a Babysitter….. any offers?
I did however have a very good meal last month at the…… wait for it…….. “Ginger Fox” this country pub is one of the new eateries from the Ginger Man restaurant group based in Brighton!
The pub was recently restored and is truly beautiful, Very simple, Nice decor and nice furniture! The menu was good, Seasonal produce, Lots of local ingredients and lots of choice! The food and service were very good and the whole atmosphere of the evening was great….. helped by my partner sitting opposite me!
I also get asked where was the best meal you ever had….? now that’s a tough question as I have been lucky enough to work and eat in some fine restaurants!
But I have to say the best dining experience I ever had was some time ago in Dublin. Myself and my partner went away for a weekend and got a deal on last minute.com and stayed at the Merrion Hotel….. Very nice!
I was asked when we checked in if we wanted to eat in the restaurant and I said NO! assuming that it was nothing special. Then when we got to our room and I looked through their brochure I saw the Name “Patrick Guilbaud” Restaurant, I quickly rang down and asked and was told his restaurant was in the basement. I then decided to book a table with no hesitation….. The restaurant is Ireland’s highest rated and has been awarded with 2 Michelin Stars and by god the evening was magical, Utterly faultless and well worth the money (cost more than the hotel for 3 nights)
So what I am asking is for you all to tell me where you think the best dining experience is in West Sussex!
I await your replies with anticipation!

Really enjoyed this blog post! I live in West Sussex and my favourite restaurants in the area would have to be;
Limings – A mexican restaurant in Worthing. Ther service is really quick and friendly and the food is amazing!
The Black Rabbit – An old style English pub in Arundel. I would have to agree with Dan in saying that Ham, Egg and Chips is by far my favourite meal and the Black Rabbit serve it up really well!
Topolinos – This Italian restaurant in Hove is truly exquisite. It has been around for years and years and the food has consistently been great! The people in their are really friendly and the food tastes incredible. I would recommend ordering any of their pizzas as they are something not be missed!
Thanks for comment.
My good Friend Dan (another 1) owns Liming and he was my sous chef for 3 years at Bailifscourt Hotel in Climping… and you are correct liming is good!
Black Rabbit is a great location but always had terrible service and food
Don’t know Topolinos but will give it a go
Thanks Dan
