What's this?

These are confidence labels. They show how sure we are that what we publish still reflects the restaurant's current practice. They are not a judgement on the restaurant; the wine and cooking are scored separately, out of 100.

  • Beta means assessed and scored, but we are still confirming some details (such as the current wine list) and the restaurant has not yet had the chance to correct any factual inaccuracy, so it is published with that caveat.
  • No label means a fully confirmed entry.
  • In development means not yet a review. It appears so you can see where coverage is coming.

Restaurants often change their menus. The date beside the label says when we last reviewed.

We assessed Purchases in October 2026 and this review is based on the food menu and wine list at the time of the review. As menus and wine lists change, we name styles in order for the information to remain more useful as menus change. If things have slipped you can use the Vinealto Dining app including accessing an up to date reading using 'At the Table' from the wine list in front of you in the restaurant. How we assess

Purchases is a restaurant and bar on North Street in Chichester, serving modern British dishes such as beef Wellington, foie gras and Gressingham duck. Its list pours 36 wines by the glass, champions West Sussex sparkling wine and climbs to prestige Champagne and famous Tuscan reds. It suits diners who like plenty of choice by the glass and want to try the sparkling wines made nearby.

The Gallery Restaurant, Denbies Wine Estate

Dorking, South East

Modern British, vineyard dining

The Gallery Restaurant sits on the Denbies wine estate above Dorking, cooking a seasonal modern British menu with a wine from the estate printed against every dish. Its distinction is that the wine is entirely estate-grown and made on site (a genuinely local, single-estate offer led by a serious traditional-method sparkling range, with still whites, an English orange wine and a sweet botrytis white) though by design it has no geographic breadth and its restaurant pricing was not separately published. It will most reward the drinker curious about English wine who wants to taste a single estate across a full menu, at source, and to carry home the bottle they liked from the shop next door.
