E. Street Bar & Grill offers multiple options for group and private dining, catering to small and casual celebrations as well as larger scale dinners and milestone occasions. You’ll find it in the pretty West Sussex town of Petworth, set within a gorgeous 17th-century building on New Street, where it’s built a strong local following for its seasonal menus that make the most of the local larder.
Lovingly restored, spaces are airy, timeless, and able to host varied groups. The Stag Room, complete with a twenty-point stag overlooking the dining room, boasts a soaring wood-beamed ceiling, plenty of natural light, and a rustic but elegant feel. Here, you can host between 12 and 30 guests. Smaller private dining groups, meanwhile, might opt for the Woodcock Room, which seats up to ten in a space that’s homey, cosy, and perfect for family celebrations, client entertainment, and intimate celebrations. For private dinners with more of a buzz, E. Street Bar & Grill offers hire of The Blue Room, which adjoins the main dining room and can seat up to 12 guests.
As for private dining menus, E. Street Bar & Grill offers farm-to-table dishes with ingredients sourced from just a few miles away. Groups larger than ten can choose from set menus, though there’s also the option to work on a bespoke menu in consultation with the chef. Menus change seasonally, but to give a taste as to what to expect, starters have included beef croquettes with mixed leaf salad and gochujang mayo, spicy tempura soft shell crabs with nam jim, and spiced butternut squash velouté with root vegetable crisps.
Main dishes might offer up Lebanese roasted aubergine with hummus, pomegranate, and shaved vegetable salad; venison haunch with root vegetable rosti and braised cabbage; or parmesan and herb gnocchi with wild mushrooms, smoked celeriac, squash and kale.
