Situated in the centre of Chichester, The Dining Room is within easy reach of the theatre, Cathedral, galleries, shops and car parks, and can be found within the beautiful Georgian mansion of what used to be the country's oldest wine merchant, Arthur Purchase & Son. Run by the same family since 1780; so for over 200 years has been a prominent landmark in North Street.
For restaurant patrons, there is a conservatory and an enchanting courtyard garden, complete with wrought-iron pavilions and parasols to deter the rain to complete what is, a really delightful restaurant.
Alternatively, just soak up the atmosphere in the Champagne, wine and cocktail bar (separately branded as 31 North), because apart from the richly decorated dining room, the cocktail room is a great place to meet friends and sample one of the many Champagnes by the glass in the stylish surroundings.
Our policy on environmental issues is very important in the way we wish to run the business in the future and our policy can be viewed here. We believe that the majority of our customers feel the same way and hope you support us in these endeavors.
