Set in the heart of Petworth, E. Street Bar & Grill is a stylish neighbourhood brasserie housed within a characterful 17th-century building. Blending historic charm with contemporary interiors, the restaurant offers a relaxed yet refined setting for everything from long lunches and elegant dinners to family occasions.
Inside, E. Street Bar & Grill showcases its heritage, alongside more contemporary decor. Downstairs expect a light-filled dining room looking out over a courtyard, while the upstairs room offers a more dramatic setting with exposed stone walls, timber rafters and chandeliers. There’s warmth to the space, softened by natural textures and an easy flow between the bar, dining area and courtyard seating.
The E. Street Bar & Grill menu champions exceptional West Sussex produce with a confident focus on premium grilled dishes, refined seasonal plates and fresh seafood. Guests can expect beautifully prepared steaks, locally sourced fish, indulgent desserts and carefully curated wines in a setting that balances understated luxury with relaxed hospitality.
To start, you might find beef croquettes with Mereworth mixed salad and gochujang mayonnaise, hickory-smoked trout rillette with sourdough toast and pickled vegetables, or spicy tempura soft shell crab with nam jim sauce. You can also build your own seafood platter, choosing from the likes of hot buttered white shrimp, Maldon rock oysters, and North Atlantic prawns with Thousand Island sauce.
Moving into mains, the kitchen leans into bold, satisfying flavours. Think venison haunch with root vegetable rosti, braised cabbage, Mereworth greens, and cranberry jus; fillet of chalkstream trout with samphire, tenderstem broccoli, hasselback potatoes and lobster bisque; and parmesan and herb gnocchi with wild mushrooms and smoked celeriac. From the grill, dishes have included Hampshire sirloin steaks and ribeye served with triple-cooked chips or skinny fries.
