Set against the picturesque backdrop of Goodwood and the South Downs the Earl of March is a country pub restaurant in the village of Lavant near Chichester, West Sussex. We serve freshly prepared seasonal food from local produce, a selection of local real ales and a cellar of quality wines. All to be enjoyed in the comfort of our refurbished interior with its sumptuous leather sofas and its open wood fire.
My partner and I went for dinner at the Earl of March last night. The food and service were outstanding, leagues ahead of a majority of pubs and restaurants in the area which tend to be slightly underwhelming. The menu itself was exciting with lots of seasonal ingredients and the dishes did not disappoint they were (consistently) so delicious and impressive with so many different elements, textures and flavours throughout the whole meal. The service was also fantastic and the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. I really recommend the Earl of March for a delicious and exciting meal out- I am so happy we've found this gem.
On holiday visiting family and we detoured as this pub/restaurant was recommended to us. It certainly did not disappoint. A friendly welcome from Helen, presented with a fabulous choice of dishes. Pie of the day came highly recommended and again did not disappoint. Recommend you try the breads- delicious! Service was outstanding and the presentation and taste of the food was exceptional. We will definitely return on our next visit. Lovely to meet the family (fellow Northerners). Try the scrambled egg and smoked salmon bagel …amazing 👍🏻
I'm a foody and I will be the first to let restaurant staff know if something is not good with my food. The food here is AMAZING. The Earl of March's chef puts The Ivy to shame. There is simply no comparison. Not only it's beautifully presented and yummy just to look at but it's SO tasty. I've been here several times now and never been let down so I thought it was time to leave a review. The food is not cheap but it's worth it. It's an experience you won't forget.
We visited here on a Monday lunchtime when the team had been taken by surprise with it being much busier than expected. Despite this the service was very friendly and added greatly to our overall enjoyment. We tried quite a few of the dishes on the menu and all of them were incredible. The presentation was beautiful and the taste certainly did not disappoint. Highly recommended if you get the chance, we would definitely like to return next time we are in the UK.
Nice country pub and main course choice looks quite pricey, but pretty sure that they are good quality. We had a family lunch there on a week day. Their light lunch menus is really reasonable priced. Enjoy my posh open sandwich and fancy cut vegetables and chips on the side. Kids menu is pretty big potion and quite health with vegetables. Staff provided friendly efficient service. We enjoyed our lunch here. Free on site parking. Small beer garden next to the car park. Nice view of the field from the beer garden. Recommend to all.
