It will never rate as a traditional English pudding shop.
But the bread & butter pudding at Farmer, Butcher, Chef in Chichester is a great way to end a good meal. Although I think it is only something you get to do in winter. I might be wrong but it is not always an option you find on the menu.
The table setting included a side plate and a damned good reason to make use of it. Farm baked bread and beef dripping. A simple courtesy which more often than not gets forgotten in these busy, busy times.
But since the restaurant is very much a part of one of the only self sustaining organic farms in Europe, one should expect a little honest country style hospitality.
Despite having lived here for many years we tried the restaurant for the first time. It is one of a kind. An excellent meal, superb service.
I do enjoy Farmer Butcher Chef. A comfortable mixture of understated sophistication and simple homely hospitality. I eat there regularly.
