We had a very good valentine night, the meal was very tasty, only very disappointed that £40 pound was only for 2 courses and dessert was extra.( the food cost must be high ?)

We live in the local area and had always thought of Goodwood as a luxury place to go but had never been. For our first visit we booked in for Sunday lunch and a night in the hotel. We arrived in pouring rain and I was asked if I wanted them to hang my coat up for me, which i agreed to. The food was amazing and both my husband and myself couldn’t fault it, in face we were planning our return visit before we had even left!! Unfortunately when we did go to leave and I went to get my coat, it wasn’t there. My coat wasn’t hugely expensive but both it and the gloves in the pockets were gifts so had sentimental value to me. There was a similar but a cheaper and different size coat still there. I spoke to a young member of staff who didn’t really know what to say or do, no problem , I told her we were checking in to the hotel so if someone was to realise their mistake and bring it back that’s where I was. As we were checking in to the hotel a lady who might have been a team leader in the restaurant, walked past us, she mentioned that she had been told my coat was missing and that they would try and ring people who had lunch reservations to see if they could locate it, she’d let me know the outcome. I never heard anything back from anyone. When checking out I asked the lady on reception if they had any luck locating my coat and she didn’t know what I was talking about and said there was nothing on the system about my coat missing but would try and find out when the restaurant staff were back in. I left with no coat (i wasn’t taking the remaining coat as it was the wrong size, inferior quality obviously belonged to a smoker and wasn’t mine!) Two days later when I still hadn’t heard anything, I emailed Goodwood Hotel, who replied with a message saying we believe someone was going to try to contact the lunchtime reservations, we will let you know. (Exactly what I’d already been told) I know it’s my responsibility for leaving my coat, and I don’t blame the restaurant or hotel for the fact one of their guests took it, but they offered to take my coat and hang it up then couldn’t have cared any less about the fact it had gone missing. If someone had made contact with me to say they couldn’t locate it or it hadn’t been returned, it would have made a difference in my opinion of the hotel/restaurant but I feel there customer service skills are severely lacking. This has put a real dampener on our view of the Goodwood hotel and the Farmer, Butcher, Chef restaurant and unfortunately we wouldn’t recommend or return.

I was hugely embarrassed as I had treated my daughter in law for a meal as a birthday present, we were a party of 10. The menu was very limited. I chose Sea Bream which arrived with no sauce and the extra chips were fat soaked an over done. The meat on offer was cheaper cuts. In addition my son had to return his beer because it was 'sour', he then requested a bottled beer. Not on for the price! However the service was very good but didn't redeem food. I belong to a 'Ladies Lunch Group" and we have removed FBC from our list.

Had a lovely lunch with my Dad and our family for his birthday. Food was great, a little complex but they were happy to simplify recipes for allergies etc, cod fish cake was excellent and light , sea bream well executed, my daughter had feather beef which was good, blackcurrant sorbet was amazing Good ambience, friendly staff, tables spaced so you can hear ( important for my step mother) lovely fire. Flexible on timing when we were delayed Thing which could improve: couple of minor service mistakes eg forgot second chips and second coffee, didn’t bring kids menu til asked, coffee in mug not cup!?

We had a superb lunch at The Farmer Butcher Chef Restaurant at The Goodwood Hotel yesterday . The food was beautifully prepared and presented , by lovely girls who looked after us with impeccable service. Everyone working there was so Professional , it was really an outstanding meal and occasion in every way . The restaurant has been beautifully decorated , there was a real log fire burning , and there was a newly decorated Christmas Tree in the entrance hall . There are lots of nice touches in the restaurant such as items on display from the motor racing circuit , the farm and The Goodwood Estate . As an added bonus The Duke of Richmond happened to be there , he came over to our table for a lovely chat with us which was very nice indeed , very good of him and most unexpected ! There is ample secure safe and free parking right outside the restaurant in the Goodwood Hotel car park , and we were able to park immediately outside and walk just the few yards to the entrance . Perfect for those who wish to arrive in their Ferrari’s , Porsches and other exotic Sportscars as befitting Goodwood ! ????Vegetarian options: Plenty of choiceParking: Lots of free parking right outsideWheelchair accessibility: Plenty of easy access
It's a quirkily styled space and much cosier than it looks in the pictures. Lovely lunch. Great wine list. Unpretentious staff. We'll be back.

I didn’t want to write this but unfortunately have been pushed to.I went to Farmer Butcher Chef with my girlfriend a month ago now for a date night, we sat down around 7pm and had 3 courses each and a few drinks the night seemed fine.At 2am I was up in the night being violently sick for over 4 hours (I had tomato soup and the lamb main) I contacted Farmer Butcher Chef straight away and they passed me over to a food industry firm who work for them?? (Food alert) This process was very long and the several staff I spoke to didn’t seem to have a care in the world.After filling out the questionnaire they sent me I waited a month to hear they deemed my illness was not due to them because and excuse me I didn’t provide them with a stool sample. They then shrugged me off in hope to never hear from me again. I’m shocked at how they dismissed me and basically called me a liar. I will never ever step foot in this place again and hope to help a few in maybe taking the same precaution as me.

I am so pleased that we chose to eat at Farmer Butcher Chef. We went there 1 year ago and it was great, but today was outstanding and was told that Ollie is now the top chef. We have eaten in some top places worldwide and we found the food to exceptional. All the food was perfectly seasoned and cooked with thought and passion. All the staff were absolutely lovely and the ambience was relaxing. I would totally recommend this restaurant.

We had the most wonderful evening at Farmer Butcher Chef. We were staying locally at the Tinwood Wine Estate and stumbled across this restaurant when looking for somewhere for dinner and to celebrate our engagement - it certainly didn’t disappoint! The food and wine were incredible, as was the service. Particularly from the barman/sommelier who was so welcoming and helpful throughout our visit.
