Mark Robinson, one of the proprietors of Pallant of Arundel, says: “As a purveyor of fine food and wine we were keen to be included in the book and will hopefully become a destination for readers who are eager to source local produce. We have a great wealth of local producers here in Sussex making delicious cheese, growing fantastic quality fruit and vegetables, bakers, chocolatiers and of course brewers and wine makers! The Brighton and Sussex Cook Book will hopefully highlight some of them as well as many of the magnificent restaurants we have here in Arundel and across the counties East and West.”
