Breakfast at The Barn, 40 East Street, Chichester

The Barn is a restaurant dedicated to using suppliers within a 30 mile radius of Chichester. (Goodwood Farm, Flint Owl Bakery, Arundel, Curing Rebels, Brighton for charcuterie). You could say its “the Narnia of Chichester” located in the city centre but with a secret courtyard at the back, full of individual chalets for a totally unique dining experience. Weather permitting we will sit here, otherwise the cosy inside will welcome us.
At The Barn we believe to eat well you need to care about where your food comes from. Eating more seasonally and locally has so many health and social benefits. We also believe that food waste is a huge problem for us all and which is crazy given the wealth in the world today.
At The Barn the ethos is five-fold
Eat at a table! Enjoy the ritual of each meal and the connections you're making with the people around you
Make thoughtful choices about what you consume and embrace the simplicity of eating real food, with ingredients your great-grandmother would recognise.
Support people, not corporations, by buying from local farmers, market vendors, and small businesses. These choices not only strengthen communities but also contribute to a more sustainable future.
Celebrate culinary diversity, there are so many wonderful foods and heritage varieties being produced on our doorsteps. Be curious and try something new!
Finally, buy less buy better, spend your money on the best quality you can afford’. With over a third of food in the Uk wasted, we can reduce waste, save money, and use those savings to invest in better-quality, higher-welfare ingredients.
At The Barn, Chichester, we have always striven to serve local, delicious, seasonal food made from scratch. Inspired by our globe-trotting adventures, we've brought back best flavours from our travels. Influenced most of all by the vibrant, flavoursome and wonderfully unfrilly diets of the Mediterranean. But it goes deeper, we think Slow Food sums it up best: "linking the pleasure of food with a commitment to the community". When you eat seasonally and support local producers, you’re nourishing yourself and your community.
