We really like The Earl Of March. The atmosphere is good. In summer it's great eating in the garden. The service and staff are lovely. But, they do really need to realise that there are a lot more vegetarians around now than there used to be. Including vegetarian children. The children's menu has not even one vegetarian option. Even something simple like pasta and sauce would do. On the adult menu, your only choice is a cauliflower dish at the moment, which is very tasty. But, unless you fancy putting together a load of sides to make up a meal, which you shouldn't really have to do in order to have a meal, the cauliflower dish is your only option on the menu. So, all round, an excellent place to visit/eat, with lovely staff, but they need to give some thought to adding some vegetarian dishes to their menus for vegetarian adults and certainly for vegetarian children, who have no vegetarian options at all on the kids menu.

The 3 course christmas set meal we had was absolutely incredible - every person in our party of 6 was blown away by the flavours and standard of cookery. Between us we had a large range of the meu and every mouthful was delicious. The service was fantastic, great wine and a lovely Christmas atmosphere. Thank you for a great evening!

Big shout out for EoM yesterday when I met up with a great friend for a long planned lunch. We had heard that they had a power cut but could still look after us. They could not have done more. A simple menu from which we chose scrambled eggs and smoked salmon on seeded bagel with sweet pickled vegetables. Delicious to taste and glorious to see. Not at all easy when you don't have power.....for 3 days! They considerately gve the two of us a big window seat fornatural light, wood burner near by. Do support them. They can't claim compensation for the huge amount of custom they'd lost as the electricity provider 'could not guarantee electricity 365 days of the year'.They were the only premises in the village without power.WELL DONE EoM and huge thanks.

We had an excellent lunch here with the opportunity to catch-up on an old friendship. We chose the starters as we did not want a heavy meal in the middle of the day. The specials provided lobster bisque which was beautifully served and delicious. We also had the scallops and the mussels both most tasty and well presented. Yes it was expensive but for a five star meal it was worth every penny. Service was most attentive. Recommended for that special event.

We were very impressed by the food and staff at the Earl of March today. We both had the scallops starter from the al a carte menu and the dish was perfectly cooked with delicious flavours We then each had an open sandwich, these were al a carte sandwiches at normal pub prices, I had Brie, beetroot and homemade pickle, my husband had beef, both came with pickled vegetables, remoulade and brilliant homemade chunky chips that as delicious as roast potatoes, the sandwiches were thoughtful, tasty and great value for money, even though we were full we couldn’t resist sharing the sticky toffee pudding dessert and we weren’t disappointed it was gooey but light, with great ice cream on a bed a crunch. The staff were friendly, there was a lovely fire burning and I expect we’ll be back.

Pensé mucho tiempo y mucho acerca de dejar esta crítica y apreciar que necesitan más personal, pero cuando voy a un restaurante de lujo quiero que me muestren a mi mesa y me ofrezcan algunos menús, pero el joven al saludarnos señaló una mesa en la esquina y dijo “es esa de allí” y nos quedamos para seguir con ello. Luego esperamos al menos 15 minutos para que alguien viniera con un menú. Podría continuar, la comida era encantadora pero no lo suficientemente caliente, la salsa se sacó en la jarra más pequeña que he visto en mi vida y mucha gente estaba pidiendo más. No teníamos un entrante, pero teníamos dos tuberías principales y dos pudines y luego cafés. Estuvimos allí por 2 horas. ¡5 horas! Además, no pudieron proporcionar un café con licor, pero aún así se agregó a la factura. Pasará un tiempo antes de que vuelva. Espero que las cosas se organicen un poco más. El restaurante estaba muy ocupado y debido a la reputación pasada está haciendo bien, pero se corre la voz alrededor.

Popped in on the off chance after a busy day and were surprised that they weren’t too busy on a Saturday evening? The food was lovely (we had the Crab Thermidor and Lamb) as was the wine suggested by our waitress. As others have said; it’s not the cheapest meal out but you do get what you pay for and it was first class. My only criticism would be no one asked how our meals were or cleared our plates in fact we gave up waiting and paid the bill at the bar. Will return.

I've eaten here many times over the years and have had to delete a previous 5star review from 3 years ago to re do my review now. If you come here midweek, be warned. I came with a friend, we paid over £160 for a meal that was lovely, but we witnessed a member of staff who was clearly done with his shift, and at the bar...lingering over our table and at one point telling the other staff member behind the bar that he had "farted and it stinks" This was whilst we were eating a couple of meters away....and then we watched the barman rolling cigarettes whilst in conversation together..... There wasn't any service, really...it was odd. Gorgeous menu and food with the atmosphere of the foundry at kickout on a Friday night... The menu and food doesn't align with the staff we came in to contact with. It ruined the atmosphere as we were just wanting a midweek catch-up and a splurge on a nice meal with some wine, and we both came away pretty disgusted. Won't be back....

Stopped late for an alfresco lunch. Absolutely blown away by the quality of the food. We both had an open steak and onion sandwich served with gremolata and fries. Perfectly cooked and seasoned steak, presented with complimentary sides, elevated the dish to gastronomic highs. Even the fries were seasoned with salt pepper and freshly chopped chives. The strips of crunchy vegetables, some pickled, gave a lovely freshness that tantalised the tastebuds and the mustard gremolata the perfect balance to pull everything on the dish together. Well done Chef..

Under new ownership, long-time customer, poorly treated. Waited ages for food (1h 40 minutes), expressed concerns and waitress walked away. Our children's food was never entered and so their food came after ours and had to eat separately. We were checked on once during this long wait where we ordered more drinks, which we did not receive, we did not receive our bread and olives to have with our drinks, we did not have glasses for the jug of water they brought. Lamb was pricey and overcooked. Owner was extremely rude -- told us he'd have our Google review taken down. We were offered nothing for our terrible experience, not even an apology -- instead owner was argumentative and condescending. Another waitress, did step in to support us and she was very kind and did all she could but she was working very hard without much support from any of the other staff -- it was uncomfortable to watch her work so hard alone -- but thank you to her for all she did! Today was very hot and busy -- I hope the owner was flustered from the conditions and reflects on his treatment of us and does not treat others the same. We used to love it here but would not return under this ownership and do not recommend.

Please read the recent reviews before visiting. I think its very hit or miss these days. The service was extremely slow and when we gave our feedback our waitress walked away. The owner was abrasive and condescending and accused us of lying about how long it took to get our food (1h 40 m). Even when the adults received their food the kids meal's were forgotten and they had to eat separately. For the price, the timing and service should be amazing. If they are slow they should communicate with you. We were not attended to during this long wait, except once, where we ordered drinks that never came. Some of the food was tasty, but the lamb was overcooked and tough. We have loved this pub for years and are so disappointed by this experience. We absolutely do not recommend visiting under the current ownership. An acknowledgement of our experience and an apology goes a long way.

Several visits over the last few years and the service by one particular female is always so rude snd dismissive, the younger members of staff are always friendly and welcoming. Not sure if she's the owner/landlady but it's like she couldn't care less if you're there or not and I certainly will never be there again or recommend. 2 coffees today, she clocked us in the garden but after waiting ages I had to go in, she could've advised if that was required, v inhospitable at the bar. Price for 2 coffees £8.50 and she failed to suggest we had a scone with it as there was a deal on, read it on the blackboard as we left...unbelievable, such poor service.

The menu looked excellent. We chose two roast lamb and two roast pork. The meal arrived with an enormous Yorkshire pudding and a pile of roast potatoes surrounded by a pool of gravy, same for lamb and pork. The lamb was tender as was the pork but sadly the pork was cut in a chunk and a slice and owing to the gravy no crackling. The vegetables arrived but the cabbage wasn't cut and we had to pull bits off by hand. There was no apple sauce and no mint sauce but trying to catch the waiter to get some was impossible even though it wasn't that busy. We had high hopes of making it a regular stop but sadly we won't be going again.

Disappointing experience at The Earl of March! We were shocked by the exorbitant prices, especially for families. The apple juice was a staggering £4.20 for a tiny glass, not even a premium brand. I can buy the same juice from the corner shop just up the road for 99p. It's outrageous to come out for a meal together with children and be paying nearly £10 on just two tiny glasses of cheap apple juice, alcohol was expensive compared to other pubs nearby too. The food was also overpriced and portioned strangely, which only added to our disappointment. Unless they rethink their pricing strategy, we won't be returning to this restaurant anytime soon.

With its deceptively ordinary look from the outside, this place is bright, nicely decorated and roomy on the inside. This was our first time here and we were immediately welcomed by the friendly staff and directed to our table with plenty of room for our large dog to settle by us. There was a varied but uncomplicated menu to suit most palates and you could tell immediately this was going to be something special. We both enjoyed all three well-presented courses having a full description of the ingredients by the staff and finding out about the locally sourced and foraged fresh food. We both agreed we hadn’t had food as good as this in a long while and can’t wait to come back again.

There’s probably a reason why this restaurant was nearly empty on a Saturday night. We eat out in Chichester a lot and in comparison The Earl of March is expensive by all standards and the service disappointing. When we replied “no thank you” to a dessert we were served with the bill immediately. Even though we expressed surprise at being given the bill, by saying it wasn’t for us, the waitress stood over us with the card machine expecting immediate payment without giving us time to look at the total. We might have liked another drink but we weren’t offered one. In and out of the restaurant in just over the hour. The most expensive night over in a flash, we won’t be returning.

Service: Both the front and rear of staff were extremely professional and friendly. Food: The fish and chips were noteworthy, due to their size and quality. This was genuinely the largest battered cod we had ever seen! The chicken pie special dish was also fantastic. Value for Money: The standard of food and portion size mean that you get great value for money.

Lovely pub, location, expensive we were happy to pay for good food and service. We were very disappointed and the experience an expensive let down. We chose a late sitting for our Sunday Roast at 2.30pm, there lies the issue. The starter Apple, Stilton, Walnut salad was delicious and outstanding. The cucumber bottles of tap water on the table a nice touch. When ordering the Roast Lamb, we specifically asked if it was served pink, we were told it was. The lamb served to us was not sliced, minimal, clearly the left over end cut overcooked and fatty. I had no option but to return the meal. Was told there was no Lamb left, only Beef or Pork. I was happy to have any of the above however to my surprise I was told it was the same lamb meat I returned served on a different plate with the meat chucks cut up. I was given a steak knife told to cut through underneath to get to the pink meat? ! Unfortunately some of the lamb was just too fatty and inedible. The selection of seasonal vegetables were great, however £25 for a plate of vegetables steep. This could have been handled proactively the opportunity for staff to put right, this didn’t happen, I did not consider it acceptable to serve what were clearly the last scraps left. As a gesture of goodwill a glass of wine was deducted off our bill and we were asked to give them another try in the future. Maybe we were unlucky, we won’t be rushing back anytime soon. Too many other good establishments that would not dream of serving up the poor quality of Roast lunch we experienced today. Shame as could have been so good otherwise.

My partner went out with her mum and friend and I was appauled to hear that her Mum was borderline called a liar as they were told by front of house that they didn't have a reservation which was not true as they made the call a day in advance and was confirmed. My partner has a soya allergy and whom ever took the order said they would check with the chef to make sure she could have certain dishes. They apparently checked. However, dish came out with Edamame beans... Which are literally Soya. Training is definitely needed after such a stupid mistake as that. The saving grace for the service was a gentleman called Jamie who I was told was excellent. I didn't attend, thankfully, I don't intend to.

My partner and I went for dinner at the Earl of March last night. The food and service were outstanding, leagues ahead of a majority of pubs and restaurants in the area which tend to be slightly underwhelming. The menu itself was exciting with lots of seasonal ingredients and the dishes did not disappoint they were (consistently) so delicious and impressive with so many different elements, textures and flavours throughout the whole meal. The service was also fantastic and the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. I really recommend the Earl of March for a delicious and exciting meal out- I am so happy we've found this gem.

I very rarely complain as I know firsthand how hard it is to run a restaurant. I’m even more reluctant to post this as a longstanding customer of the Earl of March. But I have been horrified by the approach taken by the new management which seemingly places short-term profit above their customers’ health and wellbeing. I had to cancel a recent evening booking for two people as my friend had tested positive with Covid that very morning. Despite cancelling the booking at 7am by phone, email and the online booking system, I was charged £30. I took this up with the manager - including coming in with proof of the positive test as my phone call had been met with disbelief - but was told that there was nothing that could be done. It is my duty to warn everyone that this establishment seems to prefer customers with Covid to honour their bookings, and risk spreading the virus to others, than allow them to cancel with no charge. As if this wasn’t enough, I have never been treated as rudely by a restaurant’s management. Dismissive, accusatory and downright offensive…so much for the season of goodwill! Suffice to say that I will not be returning and strongly suggest that others avoid unless you wish to support high-handed, rude profiteers who show no care for their customers.

The food in this place is outstanding! Being vegan means we normally have to settle when eating out, especially in pubs. This food has a fine dining feel to it with great care going into flavours and presentation. We’ve visited 3 times recently and each time has been lovely. The chef is clearly passionate about what he does. The front of house staff also are brilliant! Looking forward to a Sunday roast. The non vegan food I saw also clearly was given just as much attention as mine. As a vegan though, the chef does request we give him notice of our visit so he can get creative!

Amazing Christmas dinner at The Earl of March. This was our first time at The Earl of March, and it certainly did not disappoint. Suzie really looked after us and made sure all was good. The food was excellent and I will definitely be coming back.

So disappointed. The lady who served us was lovely and couldn’t do enough for us but sadly the food didn’t live up to expectation. We had lunch and decided on the pork dish. Unfortunately the pork was extremely dry and tough which spoiled the whole thing. It was also fine dining small and expensive. To her credit the lady came back and asked us if the pork was ok after she cleared our table so we said no. She apologised and said she would tell the chef and then took our coffees off the bill as a gesture of goodwill. Sadly I won’t be going back to risk a meal I can’t eat at those prices. Their home made bread is excellent though.

We’ve driven past this pub several times as fairly local and thought how nice it looked - there is an amazing garden with wonderful views so decided to stop there recently for a drink, and are still in shock - for 2 medium (175ml) glasses of wine the bill was £22.80!! We don’t mind paying for a decent glass of wine, and this was nice but not spectacular; we researched afterwards and not expensive to buy “on the high street”. As a regular visitor to London, this was more than we pay there. It has really put us off as despite being a nice place, this is frankly a rip off, which isn’t a good feeling. We have no wish to return.

Staff were friendly but service was painfully slow. Food was very poor. Salty and dry. The fish pie was inedible. Quite possibly the worst meal I’ve eaten out.

Book club Christmas Meal in the Shack. Room dressed beautifully, food stunningly delicious and plentiful, service prompt and friendly - £27.50 for 2 courses plus wonderful homemade mince pie (well worth the cost). We use The Earl for our monthly meetings, always very accommodating. Don’t hesitate to visit for meal.

Walk it on a Monday lunchtime. Immediate welcome. Grazing plate whilst waiting for main course fish and chips which were probably the best I have ever had. Huge piece of cod with hand cut chips to die for. Couldn’t finish it and was offered a doggie bag. Still managed to squeeze in a delicious bread and butter pudding. Well recommended, you will not be disappointed.

I'm a foody and I will be the first to let restaurant staff know if something is not good with my food. The food here is AMAZING. The Earl of March's chef puts The Ivy to shame. There is simply no comparison. Not only it's beautifully presented and yummy just to look at but it's SO tasty. I've been here several times now and never been let down so I thought it was time to leave a review. The food is not cheap but it's worth it. It's an experience you won't forget.

Oh my goodness I haven't visited the Earl of March for about 8 years. Went for lunch today with my daughter and it was fabulous! Helen was looking after us and she was amazing, so friendly and helpful. We both had the homemade fish finger sandwich with chips and a delicious salad and it was literally divine. I could eat it over and over, and it was underpriced in my opinion. I'd have happily paid more than the £9.50 they asked for. Seriously good and I'll not wait another 8 years before returning.

£11.40 for a glass of savignon thankfully I only asked for a medium size dread to think what they charge for a large. I appreciate pubs and restaurants have to make a profit, it was very nice but left a very bitter taste

I’ve lived a 4 min drive from this place for nearly 2 years and had never been in as the vegan options were very limited but that is only at first glance! The chef loves to be creative, asking likes and dislikes then prepares the most delicious food! This is like no other food in the area…his attention to detail, flavour combinations and passion for what he does is outstanding! The staff team are equally amazing. Our server, Susan, was very passionate about us enjoying our whole experience. We’re already planning our next visit!

A good country pub with delicious food. We stopped for a quick lunch on the way home from a holiday in Dorset and received a very warm welcome. The mushroom soup was extremely good, and the fish finger sandwich was something else! Essentially an open sandwich with filets of fried fish, plus chips on the side, it is like a mini portion of fish and chips, with a side of bread. Very tasty! Very friendly and helpful staff too.

The earl of march is a fantastic place to eat, we went for lunch. The service was excellent, the food was presented beautifully and was absolutely delicious. I'm looking forward to going back. Its a fine dining pub so it's not the place to go for budget prices, but the food was worth every penny.

We visited here on a Monday lunchtime when the team had been taken by surprise with it being much busier than expected. Despite this the service was very friendly and added greatly to our overall enjoyment. We tried quite a few of the dishes on the menu and all of them were incredible. The presentation was beautiful and the taste certainly did not disappoint. Highly recommended if you get the chance, we would definitely like to return next time we are in the UK.

We understand that this place has changed hands, so perhaps that could be a reason for the very modest portions? Octopus (admittedly not the easiest dish to get right) consisted of a very small tentacle which needed more char, and not much else. I was...

Came in not expecting the fire to be lit as there wouldn’t be many people in. How wrong was I. This is a pub that lights the fire and keeps it going. It’s a welcome and not dependent on how many people are in! Brilliant. Can’t thank them enough. Shame other local pubs don’t follow suit.

My Wife and I had a lovely meal here which was a 20 minute walk from a well known touring park nearby. They are a very dog friendly establishment, and accommodating our little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel ( Dexter) was not a problem. Everything was cooked to perfection, and all the young ladies waiting on the tables were friendly and always smiling. We enjoyed our food so much we booked at short notice for the Sunday lunch which many people rate very highly. I am now one of those people,and I would say if you are in the area then book a Sunday lunch here, you will not be disappointed, and I think we can say that it is probably one of, if not the best dining out Sunday lunches we have experienced. We booked again for New Years Eve, and as with the previous two visits, the food and service were excellent. Well done to all the staff at the Richmond Arms, you are doing an excellent job in an industry which is tough at the minute.
