The first thing that you notice is the appalling acoustic properties of this place since it was stripped out. Before we were allowed to order drinks, or food, my 21 Year-old daughter was asked to provide her ID. By a waitress who was younger than her. This was at lunchtime. The roast food was OK, the usual large portions make up for a lack of finesse. The service disappeared once the mains had arrived. And all this was all staggeringly expensive - for a pub lunch. Two roasts, (one vegan,) one starter, & two drinks - £77.00. Not worth it.

After seeing reviews and getting recommendations , my daughter and I decided to have Sunday roast out for change.
First, I choose this pub because it had a choice of lamb on the online menu.
This was not available when we got there , so chose pork, mine was a little chewy but my daughters was ok.
Cauliflower a pile of mush,
Roast potato skins like leather
Other veg ok ish but over cooked.
Wondering if the chef knows what a Jus is! It was just very thin watery something , "Not even gravy".
We asked others about their Roast and they where of the same opinion as us.
So wondering , with all

The pork casserole was the perfect warming dinner, the sea bass was divine and the ginger ice-cream was the best ice-cream I've had in years! Staff and atmosphere was really friendly too. The pate starter was more of a terrine and could have done with some toasted bread or a little bit more of something, but honestly the rest of the meal more than made up for it! Delicious

This was, without a doubt, the best food we have ever eaten at a pub. We are in Chichester for the weekend from London and didn't know what to expect food-wise, but its honestly some of the best that we've ever eaten. And the service was incredible, we had Katie and Aaron tending to us for the evening, and they could not have been more welcoming or delightful. Will definitely get the 90 minute train down here again, just to come here for another meal.

WOW! What can I say! An outstanding award winning pub with fantastic tasting food!
We walked past this pub more than once, before we decided to have a change and eat in here so booked a table for Saturday evening.
Wow! Stunning Soup starter followed by fabulous Salmon and fine dark chocolate desert matched with great desert wine.
Also has nice front terrace and even better rear terrace where again I enjoyed a fine after dinner whiskey 🥃 and fine Cuban Cigar!
We wanted to eat dinner on Sunday night but they stop serving food at 3pm in the afternoon.
We definitely coming here again when we
