Located in the heart of the Goodwood Estate and surrounded by the South Downs National Park, The Star & Garter in East Dean offers a delicious selection of freshly cooked, local and seasonal food in a charming dining space with red brick and oak beams. Just a mile down the hill from Goodwood Race Course we are 12 minutes drive from Chichester. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner we try to source our ingredients as locally and as seasonally as possible. Whether you are at a Goodwood Event or walking, cycling or just out for a drive and fancy a decent meal at reasonable prices, we like to think we are one of the best around. We have a great courtyard and garden space which can seat up to 100 people. Freshly ground coffee is available all day. With a mixture of local people and tourists there's always a warm welcome here.

About the restaurant
We are pleased to be recognised as a family run pub with attentive friendly staff, something that repeatedly comes up on our reviews. Our aim is to provide good quality freshly produced food and at reasonable prices.

We are delighted our customers love the warm welcoming ambience of the pub and enjoy the traditional and slightly quirky decor.

The Farmer’s Sunday lunch always offers a choice of three meats, fresh vegetables and goose fat roast potatoes. We also offer a homemade vegetarian option and can cater for gluten free and other requirements, just ask us.

Nice pub and a very good Sunday lunch. Friendly service too. It is not a gastronomic pub so if you’re looking for something romantic or a more ‘luxurious’ feel you won’t get it here! But great for a group who just want excellent food and a good laugh!

It is quintessentially English with flagstone flooring, low beams and plenty of cosy corners and comfortable seating.

Extremely popular all year round, you can enjoy our stunning landscaped gardens and pond area outside during the Summer months including the infamous 'beach area'. During the colder months we boast two large fireplaces in both areas of our bar for you to cosy up in and enjoy a warming beverage.

Came for Sunday lunch and really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. The staff were attentive and very polite. The food was very good, we ordered the roast beef and a nut wellington both if which came with green veg, huge roast potatoes cooked to perfection (crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside) and a parsnip puree which was delicious. Puddings were a decent size too! We also ordered the house red which was very drinkable. Overall a really nice lunch in a beautiful old pub. I’d recommend - we plan to return.

Lovely food, service was good. Its a bit expensive but worth the extra for the beautiful setting. We were sat right by the window which spoilt it a little as felt cramped. Would definitely go again . Cocktails ate really nice
