There's a real variety when it comes to restaurants in Arundel, but a particularly large number of them sit in the mid-priced category. This is great news for those with families or couples who enjoy dining out often, as you'll be able to make your way through the list of the town's restaurants without breaking the bank. The beautiful market town of Arundel may be recognisable to you because of its feature in several blockbuster films – such as The Young Victoria, Wonder Woman and The Madness of King George. But, once you’ve paid this pretty town a visit, you’ll be talking more about its culinary scene than anything else.
Arundel is a fantastic destination for a day trip, and whilst the main attraction is always the castle, there's plenty more to do here. Arundel has a medieval history at its core, which has largely been conserved and is home to a Roman Catholic cathedral. Just behind its much larger neighbour of Chichester, Arundel comes second for the amount of listed buildings in West Sussex. If you enjoy a balance of culture and coastal charm, Arundel has both the South Downs National Park and the coast nearby.
