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.

So the restaurant is part of the Goodwood Hotel and Estate. I have stayed here many times. The hotel is cosy and comfortable. The estate has its own farm. However non meat eaters are only tolerated here. There is one fish option and one non meat option. Nothing on the menu is marked vegetarian or vegan so assume nothing. Waiting staff will offer allergens but really dont know what all the ingredients are. The butter brought with the bread has beef dripping in it. Most of the sides have meat in them eg bone marrow mash. The description of the fish dish included 'bone sauce'. When I queried this it was 'fish stock' and not said marrow bone. So opted for the dish which seemed to be made of vegetables. It was a sweet potato wellington. Was the pastry made with lard? I will never know. First extra ingredient mentioned on the menu was 'acorn' - acorn? Don't pigs eat acorns, didn't realise humans could eat them. This manifested as some sort of whipped concoction. Veg on side included kale and chestnuts. Plate was very hot. I have a photo - all looked appealing. Started to eat. All seemed well, however soon apparent that the slice of wellington must have been frozen and reheated as the centre of it was stone cold. The reheating just penetrating the outside. Drew this to the attention of waiting staff who apparently checked what I alleged before asking kitchen to replace. The replacement Wellington was hot through and quite tasty. However no replacement decoratively arranged veg on the side just some undercooked 'slabs' of kale. My glass of Malbec helped to wash it all down. So on to dessert. Again no indication of veggie or vegan. I chose something ressembling creme brulee which hardly covered the bottom of the dish and was served with sorbet which I wouldnt have chosen - having experience butternut squash sorbet already! Again description on menu lacking. Dessert was removed from bill (I didn't ask for this). Such a shame. Was going to book table for six in December ...

Honestly the best roast dinner I’ve ever had. I wanted to order a second one but I would have exploded. 5 stars does not do justice to the quality of the food.

This a restaurant for meat eaters - and very good it is too. Everything we tried was beautifully prepared and delicious. Service neither too slow nor too fast. Very good for couples with plenty of well spaced tables. Wine list was a bit daunting.

The food was excellent and the staff were extremely attentive and helpful. Unfortunately the table was too low for our family who are all tall and there was a large group in which made it noisy. Our fault for not asking to move, but we’re British. It was expensive.
