Visit Arundel Podcast

One couple. One restaurant. Four bedrooms. Eighteen covers. Up to ten courses.

For the very first episode of the Visit Arundel Podcast, we meet Matt and Jenni Price, the husband-and-wife team behind The Town House Restaurant with Rooms in the heart of Arundel.

Matt and Jenni share the story of the careers, adventures and slightly brave decisions that eventually brought them to Arundel to create a restaurant and rooms entirely in their own image.

We hear about Matt's journey through some remarkable kitchens, including a memorable trial at Eleven Madison Park in New York, then ranked the world's best restaurant. We discover how their two-year-old son's excitement at finding blackberries inspired a new dessert, and why ingredients, provenance and supporting local producers are so central to Matt's cooking.

Jenni takes us behind the scenes of their very personal approach to hospitality – from the restaurant and its beautiful historic setting to the four bedrooms above – and explains why every detail of the guest experience matters.

There is also a little exclusive: Matt and Jenni reveal that The Town House has just been awarded two AA Rosettes, the maximum available on a first inspection.

Along the way we talk about working together as husband and wife, the realities of opening a hospitality business, why they chose Arundel almost a decade before the opportunity arose, and the extraordinary community they have found since arriving.

And, of course, we finish with our Pallant of Arundel Picnic Question: if you could picnic anywhere in or around Arundel, where would you go and who would you take? Expect David Attenborough, Hiorne Tower, sandwiches and one rather lovely answer involving their two-year-old son.
