Hallidays Of Funtington — Restaurant in Chichester

With a birthday to celebrate & it being Hallidays 25th Anniversary, what better way, than to celebrate them together with fabulous food. As soon as you enter you're thinking ' this is nice', with the size, exposed beams and decor giving you that comfy, cosy feeling. We opted for the 3 course menu and struggled to make decisions as what to have - too many yummy things. Hallidays had made their own celebratory fizz - inc prosecco, chambord & a raspeberry- quaffable! Accompanied by home made cheese puffs and hand cut crisps, of course, both were top notch. Starters were the goats cheese tart & crab on toast - both winners for us. Main courses were beef fillet (cooked perfectly medium rare) & local monkfish. Puddings of apple tart (amazing presentation, never seen it served in that way) & salted caramel ice cream as well as chocolate torte with honeycomb. Both puddings were sublime, but think the tart won the day due to combination of the flavours & presentation.

I dont normally eat dessert, but with the Sunday set menu you get 3 courses for £26 , which I thought was pretty reasonable, so I had an iced banana dessert which was delicious. Oh and the bread rolls were really nice too. All in all, if they could redecorate, make the walls a bit more interesting to look at , and maybe play some low key music (it was oddly quiet in there) and add a few more vegetables to the roast dinner, I would go back. As it is...

Have eaten at Halliday’s on many occasions! Always welcomed with a smile at this family run business. The menu always has something that catches your eye, featuring locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, Andy chef patron has an eye for detail and a wealth of experience in the kitchen. Not only does this restaurant have a great menu, but throughout lock down they started a great value & tasty takeaway service. Since lock down has eased we have experienced two fantastic outside dining events, board and barrel, paella afuera evening 🥘 both events the food was fantastic and well priced and we felt safe in a covid secure environment. The paella in particular was to die for! Well done team Halliday’s looking forward to the...
