Farmer Butcher Chef

Genuinely great food (garlic soup is insanely great, as are the chops). Warm, friendly and good service lots to love. Recommended.

The restaurant served an excellent Sunday lunch with a first-rate staff. The decor was interesting and the diners were quietly spoken.

We have dined at The Goodwood Hotel in the past, but this was our first visit to Farmer, Butcher, Chef. The restaurant had a relaxed atmosphere with charming, farm-themed decorations. The staff were incredibly helpful and not at all pushy. We both enjoyed the steak and chips, which were delicious. A bottle of Rioja and a cheesecake for dessert rounded out a fantastic meal of locally sourced food. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Usually when we come to Farmer butcher chef the food is outstanding. But on this occasion our Sunday lunch was terrible I would rather eat at Toby carvery than the food I got today. The starters where nice and so where the bar snacks but the roasts almost in edible and the Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes were disgraceful (time to replace the new chef). I have to say the service like always was fantastic and they could not have done more. They did after us raising these points deduct £10 per meal but still not worth the money we paid. I will not be going back till there is a new chef in the kitchen. Come on Lord March you can do better than this.

Poor wheelchair access; you have to use the hotel entrance and not follow the restaurant signs. Headwaiter was very slow to offer drinks, and slow to take food order; other staff ignored our table. No wine list; we had to ask for it. More to follow when the food arrives. We ordered Harvey’ BC sherry from the menu, something else was served. When we queried it, he admitted it wasn’t what we ordered but something else, he wasn’t sure what! I had the Mackerel starter; very good, the beef main was pulled beef in a mould with tiny pieces of potato. Quite tasty. Chips are large and not to my taste. Summer greens, well. Dessert was our birthday cake. After lunch coffees and teas OK but had to ask f...

Having enjoyed many FBC’s Sunday Lunches over several years we were extremely disappointed with their culinary efforts last weekend. The service was good overall; the food definitely not! No starters chosen just four roasts 3 beef, 1 pork. The beef was stringy, thinly sliced and tasteless. The roast potatoes were ‘last week’s’ rehashed barely warmed through, very dense and dry with a tough outer shell but not crisp. The Yorkshire puddings were extremely thin and dry like they were overcooked from frozen. The cabbage was again overcooked and mostly stalk. Unlike the previous reviewer of Mother’s Day, (a month ago) we did quietly bring it to the attention of our waitress who did say later that...

I 'm very sad to have to write this however, our starter of cold garlic soup wasn 't appealing, the wrong order was then brought to our table for mains, my au jus on my main was the same as my cold soup starter, no cutlery given, when we asked for cutlery it took about five minuets to obtain a fork, on asking for the second time! We didn 't require dessert but the bill was brought to our table albeit we would have had coffee afterwards and this was by the manager, she made our decision it was time to leave clearly!!. When we spoke to the receptionist at the front of the hotel we had no help, just a chap bewildered who said I 'll go and talk with the manager (the lady who made us feel so unwe...

I was taken for lunch here for a surprise for my birthday we were a party of 6. We had all travelled from far and wide (73 mile round trip for some). When we pulled into the car park my expectations were high but I/we were sadly disappointed. My main course roast lamb was extremely rare, almost raw, very fatty and was quite tough to cut. I ended up giving virtually all my meat to our dog. The roast potatoes did not taste fresh, they tasted like they had been cooked previously and then reheated in the microwave. One of our party did note that another table sent their food back. I didn’t want to cause a fuss on the day as it was a surprise birthday lunch for me, booked by my family. Speaking t...

This was our second visit and as our first was a good one decided to take our parents for Mother’s Day Sunday lunch. On arrival the restaurant was busy unlike our first so was good to see it like that, this was probably the only good thing yesterday. Were greeted and seated and handed menus, whilst looking through we were quite surprised to see just 3 starters on offer, one being soup then a fish and a beef tartare, not great if I’m honest. After about 15 minutes our drink orders were taken, the wine was quite prompt but the draft drinks seemed to take an age to arrive. Food orders were taken and the starters arrived, the soup was ok but not very warm at all, the mackerel starters were just...
