Butlers serves up a range of modern British dishes in the heart of Arundel in West Sussex. Open since 1995, it underwent a significant refurbishment in 2017 when it was passed down from the original owners to their children. The result is an alluring and luxurious decor, perfect for an intimate evening meal in groups of all sizes. This extends to the restaurant’s outdoor area, perfect for both al fresco dining and drinks in the sun.
Food is served from lunch until dinner and the specials board is updated daily. Lunch options are designed to be lighter but no less in keeping with the restaurant’s overall culinary ethos. Starters include Asian BBQ pork, spice roasted cauliflower, and pan fried king prawns with garlic butter. For mains, choose from the likes of chicken Caesar salad, aubergine parmigiana, and catch of the day.
The evening menu offers heartier dishes that further showcase Butlers commitment to contemporary dishes powered by British ingredients. Crab arancini with a brown carb aioli headlines the starters, while pan roasted hake, marinated chicken supreme, chargrilled 8oz rib-eye steak, and roasted lamb rump are all on offer as mains. Rounding out the menu is a selection of desserts. These include a modern twist on rhubarb and custard (set egg custard, poached rhubarb, rhubarb gel, rhubarb cremeux, and almond crumble), vanilla and mango cheesecake, and an English cheese board.
Private dining is also available. This is ideal for celebrating all manner of special occasions, as every detail can be tailored to your exact needs. The private dinings spaces are a brilliant extension of the decor and ambiance found in the main dining room, resulting in unique experiences bound to create memories.
