"Interestingly, despite being an Italian restaurant, they did not offer any Italian beer, only Spanish and German options. Moving on to the main course, although the portions were small, the dish was absolutely delicious! I enjoyed butternut squash and goat cheese tortellini, which were generously stuffed with goat cheese and adorned with walnuts. On the other hand, I also tried the duck dish. While it was well-cooked and satisfying in quantity, I believe it would have benefited from being served warm and sliced. A sharper knife might have improved the presentation. Nonetheless, the duck itself was perfectly cooked. The food we had was truly delightful, showcasing high-quality ingredients. That said, I felt the menu was rather limited; it was quite concise with around 20 dishes total, from starters to desserts. In comparison, many other Italian restaurants offer extensive menus that tantalize the palate. Moreover, I found it somewhat presumptuous—and a bit annoying—that a 10% service charge was automatically added to the bill without prior notice. I typically prefer to leave a tip based on the service I received, and being compelled to pay an extra amount diminished the overall experience. While the service was good and I appreciate the efforts of the staff, I believe that tips should be a personal decision made by the diner rather than a forced obligation. Overall, the food was excellent, and I may return, but I hope for a few improvements next time."

"I must say, I was so disappointed with my visit to Fredricks. My friend and I went for afternoon tea and were really looking forward to it. But we both found the experience really disappointing. Firstly the afternoon tea cakes looked nothing like the advert, nowhere near as fancy. The scones were lovely but we only had about a couple of tablespoons of cream between the two of us which wasn’t enough! The chap who initially gave us our tea was lovely but then once he had gone we didn’t see a soul. There was no one coming to check if we were ok or needed refills. I ended up drinking cold tea and my friend who had a coffee had nothing once that was finished. It wasn’t until we were practically finished that someone else came to have afternoon tea that we could actually grab someone to ask them for a refill! The ambiance of the afternoon tea was awful. Initially there was lovely music in the background but after about 15 mins it was turned off and we were left in silence. All we could hear were staff in the next room shouting to each other about something or other. There was no atmosphere at all and we actually felt like we shouldn’t be there! I’ve been to a number of afternoon teas and this was by far the worst one I have had. However this was my friends first afternoon tea and we thought that Fredricks would be fabulous for a first time tea..... but she was so disappointed! I felt really bad for her! : I don’t think I would come again."

"A group of 7 of us went to The royal oak for a roast last sunday it was also my wife 's birthday .Living in chichester we have all been to the pub several times over the years but after our meal today we all agreed we would come back .When i rang up to book it i explained it was for my wife 's birthday and could we have a cake or something at the end to surprise her with i said i was happy to pay which the lady who took my booking said sure we will do something at the end for her no problem . The staff were nice enough but really not attentive and most were very lacklustre ,we ordered our food and there was quite a wait around 45 mins even though the pub was not that busy when we attended . So the food arrived and the lady got our condiments and then left , no one came back to check if we were happy with our food .Which to be honest we weren 't very happy at all as our roast potatoes were rock hard and tasted stale like they were a day old , also my sons fish was very overcooked and the batter was hard and my daughters roast chicken was missing the bread sauce .If someone had come back to check on us while we were eating we could have communicated our disappointment .So we all just carried on eating a very below average meal .Then at the end i had to go inside to ask for the bill and saw there was a 10 service charge on top which to be honest we received very little service so this seemed excessive and the price with the service charge equated to over £20 per roast .Which is one of the most expensive roast dinners in the local area and considering we all had rock hard stale potatoes again this price seemed very excessive . We did voice our disappointment with the lady that came to take our money which she was very apologetic and said there have been a lot of complaints about the potatoes i don 't know what has happened or gone wrong .But no offer of reducing our bill or taking off the service charge so we paid in full , £170 for a one course meal plus we brought a round of drinks over the bar when we first arrived so in total around £200 and to top it all off we never received anything for my wife 's birthday . Having left and got home and thought about the whole experience it was one of the worst meals we have had out in a long time and we do eat out regularly and in turn this did dampen the whole mood of our group and none of our group would return or recommend The royal oak far from it we would encourage people to eat somewhere else as this was a very overpriced sub standard meal . I did email the pub to explain our experience and how we were all feeling but they completely ignored me which again speaks volumes ."
