    My wife and I had lunch at Cassons on Mothering Sunday. As usual, the food and service were outstanding. In our view, this is easily the best restaurant in the Chichester area.

    The feeling is very homely and comfortable. The staff are all very friendly, polite and helpful. The young lady who was looking after us, was also knowledgeable and able to advise on wines to accompany our meals. Food was 10/10.

    We always enjoy eating at Cassons. It is slightly more expensive but you get what you pay for. The food is always excellent, and it is brilliantly served by friendly staff. This was Sunday lunch which kept up that Cassons always provide. Highly recommended.

    The food is excellent. Taste and presentation was perfect, and the staff were really welcoming helping to make the whole visit a fantastic experience. Would thoroughly recommend - we have already booked to take friends to their fish tasting menu night in April!
