I recently had the privilege of eating at The Parsons Table in Arundel, and it was nothing short of exceptional.
From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this restaurant, which has been nominated in two categories for the Bravo Awards, was deserving of its place on the Michelin Guide for the eighth consecutive year.
Every aspect of the evening, from the atmosphere to the food and service, reflected a level of excellence that made the joint milestone birthday celebration unforgettable.
We had the restaurant exclusively for a private function, welcoming over 30 guests to mark the occasion. The staff made us feel incredibly welcome right from the start, their attentiveness and professionalism ensuring that everything went off without a hitch. They were meticulous in managing every detail, allowing us to fully enjoy the evening without any stress.
The ambiance of The Parsons Table was perfect for such a gathering—intimate yet spacious, with a cozy atmosphere that struck the right balance between elegance and comfort. The setting was warm, inviting, and ideal for a celebration, and it was clear that a great deal of thought had gone into making the space both stylish and welcoming.
We had pre-ordered from a set menu, and I can confidently say the food exceeded every expectation. Each dish was beautifully presented, with vibrant colors and intricate details that showcased the chef’s skill and attention to detail. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and it was evident that only the finest ingredients had been used. Whether it was the tender mains, or the indulgent desserts, everything was met with unanimous praise from our guests.
The culinary team truly went above and beyond, creating a menu that catered to various tastes while still maintaining a sense of refinement and creativity.
The quality of the food alone speaks volumes, but it was the seamless blend of exceptional service and atmosphere that made this experience stand out. The staff’s attentiveness was unparalleled—they ensured that every need was met, whether it was managing dietary requirements or keeping the drinks flowing throughout the evening.
This level of personalised service made a big difference in creating a relaxed and enjoyable experience for everyone in attendance.
All in all, The Parsons Table made our milestone birthday celebration truly memorable. With its combination of outstanding food, impeccable service, and a welcoming atmosphere, Whether for a private event or a night out, I would highly recommend this venue.

We were warmly greeted and coats and umbrellas sorted before being seated. A nice corner table. Usually banquet seating is tricky bad I am short, but this was really good and comfortable. All of the dishes sounded amazing and we plumped for 2 courses each. As the food was freshly cooked we were warned there would be a delay, it the time flashed by helped along by some fantastic bread. As we were having a mix of fish and red meat for mains we asked for some help choosing some wine and we got great advice covering a range of prices. The one that we chose was delicious. The mains were so tasty and beautiful presented. The lamb gravy was so full of flavour and the meat beautiful. Dessert was also fantastic made even better as they made up a dish for my mum who is lactose intolerant.
