Welcome to Pallant! We are an independent food store and wine merchant in the centre of Arundel, the historic heart of the South Downs in West Sussex. We champion smaller, independent producers. Whether sourced locally herein Sussex, from elsewhere in Britain or from further afield, we aim to stock products of interest and quality that are not widely available elsewhere.
The store is almost three shops in one! Pallant of Arundel was founded as a wine merchant, and we continue to stock a selection of over 250 wines. Small independent estates are our focus,with a growing selection of wines from across the world, including those locally produced on our doorstep in Sussex. Spirits are increasingly popular, particularly whisky and local hand-crafted gins.
With a delicious selection of over a hundred British and European cheeses,
many sourced directly from local dairies, we offer one of the best
cheese counters in Sussex.
We also have a diverse range of store cupboard essentials: daily
deliveries of freshly baked bread and seasonal fruit and vegetables
sit alongside local eggs, smoked trout, charcuterie, honeys, jams and
chutneys as well as pasta, olive oil and organic pesto, handmade
cakes and chocolates – all tried and tested by our team!
Whilst we don’t have a café, we do have plenty of tasty food for
customers to take home or enjoy as a picnic by the river. Handmade
sausage rolls, scotch eggs, pies and quiches are always popular, with
vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options available.
Hampers are a specialty at Pallant – not only popular at Christmas but also for summertime picnics and all year round gifting.
We also stock a range of cigars including Romeo Y Julietta, Vegafina, Montecristo and Cohiba – all stored in our humidor to ensure they are kept in the best possible condition.
