The 2009 Chichester Festival Theatre Autumn programme is now in full swing. A world class theatre within walking distance! Please note that out of season the restaurant does not automatically open for pre and post theatre unless we have reservations - so please book!...................................The Dining Room offers you a wonderful start or finish to your evening, with pre-theatre suppers available from 5.50pm (generally, during the winter months the cocktail bar is open in the afternoons only on selected days - please call 01243 537352 to check) Otherwise the bar and restaurant will re-open at 7pm. ............................................In addition we can also offer POST THEATRE suppers on Friday and Saturday or during the week for parties of six or more.

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.
