Rushmere Restaurant

The Rushmere offers a relaxed ambience where customers can indulge themselves in its intimate surroundings. In addition to the garden, there is a large, comfortable bar area, ideal for a drink before moving through to one of the two restaurant rooms. The bar is fully stocked with a comprehensive selection of beers, wines and spirits.

The dining areas have been carefully decorated and furnished to provide elegant surroundings, where customers can enjoy the splendid menu that is put together from seasonal produce by The Rushmere's two Chefs. Seafood is a house speciality with the locally-caught Selsey crab and lobster featuring when available.

There is also an a la carte menu, which has vegetarian dishes, all prepared with equal care and attention to detail. The wide ranging menu is supplemented by daily blackboard specials, and you should be spoilt for choice. There is also a full wine list, and the sommelier is on hand to suggest a suitable accompaniment to your meal.

Dishes could include lemon marinated tiger prawns, skewered and sautéed with Chinese lettuce and fresh ginger or oven baked brie parcel served with a homemade sweet chilli sauce to begin with, then oven roasted breast of chicken on courgette ribbons with a orange and cream thyme sauce, served with new potatoes or pan-fried plaice fillets on a butternut squash mash and a peppercorn sauce.
