About Potager Restaurant

Potager Restaurant is a modern British restaurant in Chichester, set inside Crouchers Hotel beside Chichester Canal. The kitchen grows its own produce in the hotel gardens and builds a farm-to-fork menu of rural British cuisine around it, an approach it calls Potager-to-plate. Lunch and dinner are served in an indoor dining room, and hotel guests eat here alongside visitors from outside. Sunday lunch centres on roast belly pork, served with roasted potatoes, a Yorkshire pudding and a rich jus. The hotel also hosts weddings, receptions and birthday lunches.

Utilising the gardens, the Potager Restaurant uses fresh, home-grown produce creating a true ‘farm-to-fork’, or as well like to call it ‘Potager-to-plate’, ethos. Our Chefs and trained front of house staff will treat you with fantastic service, friendly smiles and great food.”

Customer Review Summary

Sunday roast draws the most praise, with one family describing roast belly pork with glazed parsnips and carrots, a rich jus and a huge Yorkshire pudding, and another calling their roast one of the best ever. Close behind is the duck, which one diner found cooked perfectly and inventive. A lunch reviewer singles out the hotel's Eton mess, with rose-infused cream and meringues, as imaginative and delicious. Service is described as attentive and friendly, with a warm greeting at the entrance, though one diner notes drinks were slow to arrive. The main criticism comes from a single reviewer who found the food a let down: steaks ordered medium rare all arrived well done, and the pistachio sponge was dry with little flavour. Reviewers also describe marking occasions here, including a 60th birthday lunch and a wedding reception where the couple were allowed to bring their own music and set up a croquet set.

    “The restaurant was beautiful and the staff were amazing. The food was a bit of a let down. Steaks were supposed to be medium/rare but all were well done. The pistachio sponge was also dry and not much flavour.”

    “An excellent lunch in the comfortable indoor dining room. The food was the quality that one would expect in such a hotel restaurant. My dessert deserves a special mention. It was the hotel's take on an Eaton mess with part of the cream and the meringues infused with rose. Imaginative and delicious!.”

    “Had dinner at the Potager during our stay at Crouchers and it was a real highlight of the trip. The food was excellent you can taste the quality and care that goes into every dish. The service matched it perfectly, attentive without being overbearing. Such a treat to have a restaurant of this standard right at the hotel. Will definitely be booking a table again next time we're down.”
