Restaurants in Chichester

The county town of Sussex dates from the Roman occupation, enjoyed its first flowering during Georgian times and is now one of Britain's most compact cathedral cities. The city is famed not only for its glorious Norman cathedral (and its elite choir), but also for the internationally renowned Chichester Festival Theatre, which has been a national frontrunner for more than three decades.

A few miles to the south, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is Chichester harbour - a focus for many reputable local restaurants.
