About The Dining Room @ Purchase's

The Dining Room at Purchase’s is set in an imposing Georgian mansion in Chichester’s North Street. Once home to Arthur Purchase, one of the country’s oldest wine merchants, the elegant home has been transformed into a chic restaurant. Burgundy walls and linen tablecloths give the sophisticated space a dramatic edge, and the kitchen is run under the watchful eye of Neil Rusbridger, who uses local produce to inspire a creative and extensive menu, which you can enjoy in the dining room, conservatory or charming courtyard garden. The Dining Room at Purchase’s is also well known for its grand selection of caviar, which you can enjoy in the bar with a glass of champagne.

Signature dish

Fish of the day, scallops and caviar.

Food was excellent, inventive and fresh. Service was charming but I think the two men might have struggled working a full restaurant. Ideally central with a public car park behing the site (parking in Chichester is notoriously difficult). Recommended.

A pre-theatre lunch at The Dining Room at Purchases in Chichester was a real treat! The service was swift and personal,the ambience in the airy conservatory delightful and the menu first class. Fish of the day was Sea Bass served on a basket of mixed mushrooms - delicious!
