Crown and Anchor in Chichester

Absolutamente fabulosa ubicación y vistas. La comida estaba bien, al igual que las bebidas, también, pero una factura muy cara para lo que teníamos. Gran servicio del personal que era amable y servicial. El lugar era pesado, así que asegúrese de reservar con antelación!

Este pub está en una hermosa ubicación, pero no sienten que tienen el menú correcto. Es encantador tener una selección de pescado, pero si no te gusta el pescado solo hay bistec o una hamburguesa. Quizá necesite pollo y cordero también. ¡Tampoco asado un domingo! El servicio era bueno, pero la comida era cara para lo que era. No volverá pronto

Reservé la cubierta inferior para una celebración de cumpleaños familiar. Fue el escenario perfecto, se sentía muy privado y especial. Las vistas eran excepcionales, ya que fuimos bendecidos con un día precioso y una puesta de sol gloriosa. El servicio era muy bueno, una señora encantadora nos cuidó. La comida era fantástica, especialmente el pescado y el marisco. Entre los adultos probamos el cangrejo, las vieiras, los mejillones, también el pescado y las patatas fritas. La costilla corta también era buena. Las porciones infantiles de macarrones y queso eran muy pequeñas, más bien una porción lateral. Tuvimos que pedir una porción extra de patatas fritas para llenar el niño de 2 y 4 años. Ese fue el único negativo.

I visited with my friend who was staying with me. We were on the whole highly impressed with our visit. The waiting staff were friendly and helpful even though they were rushed off their feet, my beetroot and rhubarb tartare was delicious together with a mixed salad. The two downsides were the wait for our starter, a Fritto Misto to share and that when it did arrive the batter on this was way too heavy - it should be both light in colour and density but ……on the plus side .the whole sardines were extremely flavoursome. I opted for a scoop of mango sorbet to finish which I could see sitting on the shelf by the kitchen for some while, I eventually asked for it and to be expected it was fairly melted when I finally got it. These issues did not detract from our visit, we would visit again.

A proper pub with a fab dining experience, the views (if you like tidal views) are stunning. Excellent menu choices superb food. Lovely friendly staff - what more can I say - will be going back especially to sit outside on the sunny terrace - a very popular place!

Absolutely unbelievably fantastic, food was off the charts, we had oysters followed by the Tomahawk, it was like something out of The Flintsones, it was that big! We shall be back

Outstanding as always. The staff here are exceptional - welcoming, friendly, will go way beyond the levels of service you’d expect at many Michelin starred restaurants, extraordinarily good service. The food is wonderful, new menu offers many more delicious seafood options which does justice to the location. This is a great place! …also, very accommodating of a sprawling greyhound!

A lovely warm evening by the water, great food.

Views and aesthetic are covered elsewhere. As for the food: the battered fish (gf) was far below my top ten pub fish. The amount of actual fish was relatively small, the batter over cooked and too crisp and the batter recipe poor. Ive had far better. Also too many dogs indoors.

I booked The Crown & Anchor for my husbands Birthday. 12 of us had lunch in the private area over looking the Quay. We had the best time. Location was amazing. View from our table of the Quay was lovely. We went outside after lunch and spent a glorious afternoon and into the early evening watching the tide and the sun go down. Lots of friendly people all enjoying the sunshine and gorgeous location. The staff were attentive and very relaxed. The orders and food were all done with ease and a smile. It was just an amazing place to celebrate. We were there for more than 8 hours and even then didn't want to leave ! Thank you so much to the whole team there. We will be back Heidi & Garry

A most perfect lunch, the views, table, staff and of course all the fish were all absolutely perfect, thank you.

Wow - what a gem! Perfect location with stunning views. Outdoor seating area with excellent food and drink options. We booked a table for 10 people and sat inside - the service was exceptional. Food incredible! Oysters, fresh fish hake, lemon sole, black bream haddock and chips, grilled prawns - all cooked to perfection! Expensive for a family lunch, but well worth it as it was a beautiful place to celebrate in style! Thank you ❤️

Had the best evening here today. Sat outside with our dog watching the boats in the harbour. All seafood was incredible and we treated ourselves to a bottle of local sparkling wine which was v good. Waited quite a while for desserts (I think we were forgotten!) but they gave us a complimentary glass of wine to apologise. Honestly one of the most memorable meals we've had in a while

Wonderful table overlooking the coast and lovely and considerate service throughout. The Fruits de Mer was perfect and great Guinness.

Absolute gem of a place with amazing food and atmosphere.

Lovely views good staff food very good

Such a lovely pub - had a drink watching the sunset in the beer garden and a delicious fish and chips meal inside. Highly recommend!

Fantastic pub on the waters edge. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Food is excellent and served promptly and there is an outside bar that ensures that you don't have to wait too long for your next drink. Highly recommended 👌

A great pub/restaurant in a fantastic location. The food is great, friendly efficient staff and good value for money.

The haddock and chips, was all batter and very little fish, not good value at £18. Shame.

Great service, lovely efficient, friendly staff, top quality pub food. Fantastic setting and location. Excellent pint of Harveys. Good value. Would highly recommend.

A first-class meal! There was an excellent choice on the menu and our gurnard, black bream and hake were cooked perfectly. Leave enough time to find a parking space!

Love everything about this pub! Amazing food, great menu & all beautifully cooked and presented. A beautiful spot and wonderful service thank you x

We enjoyed our visit, a late afternoon, early evening meal on a beautiful day so it was quite busy but not rammed! The food was very good, fish cooked beautifully and all very tasty. Good wine selection, amazing views and staff were friendly and efficient - what not to like! We will be coming back (a lot!) for sure!

Great place, best fish and chips and wonderful staff

Amazing seafood lovely views of the sea and overall good vibes

Fantastic lunch, delicious food and staff were wonderful too. Thank you

Always love coming here, it’s our favourite spot. Jasmine is a fabulous waitress too, so friendly, attentive and welcoming. Thanks again xx

Good food but increasingly expensive, good service, good facilities, lovely views of the harbour. I'm a regular visitor, mainly for those views. Very limited parking - usually have to park on the roadside a hundred metres away or so.

Very very disappointing experience. Sea food platter tastes like it just came out of the fridge - too cold and flavourless!! Probably the other dishes are great - however this is super pricy for what it is… Flavourless seafood to say the least! I can easily get better seafood from the Fishmongers for half of the price. Pretty sad that they have an opportunity to serve good seafood ( pub by the sea with great atmosphere) but decide not to do so.

Great pub but parking is limited

This place is amazing, had the best fish and chips in there today, great price, waitress was polite and helpful(lilly), thanks for the curry sauce recipe. Looking forward to going back and trying something else from there amazing menu. A must visit of your in the area, or not.

Popped in here for lunch on a Monday on our way home from a weekend away. Location is lovely and the food was outstanding. Excellent choices of fresh fish on the menu and reasonably priced. Very happy we stopped of here. Will certainly be going back.

We came to The Crown and Anchor to trial following its reopening. It was very disappointing although our waitress Izzy tried to be as accommodating as she could. We had a table at 7:45pm and didn’t get the first attempt at our mains until 9:45 which had to be sent back. There were antisocially long delays for everything although strangely they were quick to offer more wines and drinks (££). When the mains finally arrived the sides were undercooked and the Flounder was absolutely tiny with no meat. We were surprised they could include it on a menu that small as it wouldn’t be enough to feed an infant. We sent this back and asked for a different fish which took a further 20mins therefore the 3 other mains were eaten before which made for quite a disjointed and unenjoyable experience for all. For a restaurant specialising is fish and charging the prices it is we expected much better.

Amazing food. Service was slow, but we had a large table at peak time and staff kept us informed.

Absolutely delightful, picked up at random after a hike. The food was just the best for seafood lovers, service was superb and the view whimsical!

Throughly enjoyed my steak and the onion bhaji was inspired. Felt dish prices a bit steep with a lack of choice for non fish eaters. Interesting variety of sides, not sure if some could be had as small plates. Our friends also enjoyed their meals. Portion sizes good. It was an extremely busy night, leaving long gaps before courses arrived. Kara our server did an admirable job to keep us smiling. A different seating place next time, continual stream of people back & forth to access loos. Normally steer away from Fridays due to busyness however this did seem more so than usual. Overall an enjoyable evening with tasty meals.

It’s a shame to be writing this as I’ve heard so many good things about this place. I was watching all the burgers go by which looked amazing, so I opted for a fish burger. £18, it wasn’t too bad but the ratio of batter and fish was a little disappointing. The fish should shine through with glorious batter but unfortunately the fish was lost. Tasted ok but could do with being more fish for sure. Beef burger was said to be nice from my friends opinion. Looked great. Lute warm chips but it was busy so it’s understandable. The main issue for me was what was said to be a salad with smoked mackerel. Also said to be a main but my honest opinion is it’s more of a small plate opposed to a main. The size of it was actually ridiculous! There was a piece of smoked mackerel laid upon 3 pieces of tomato which didn’t equate to a whole tomato and 6 cut new potatoes which equated to only 3 whole new potatoes with the fish sat on top. Now I know costs are going up and possibly portion sizes slightly smaller, to deal with the general cost of things going up, but jeeeez guys!! That dish really shouldn’t be on the menu as a main. Honest opinion again, more veg please. I shared the salad with my partner alongside sharing the fish burger and after sharing the salad into half it looked like nothing on the plate. Do hope this helps you guys to adjust the amount of salad considered on the plate so others don’t make the mistake of buying it and being disappointed like me. Would’ve had a photo taken but I tend to only take photos of food that deserves it.

Always a great event ! Excellent dinner for four. Offered the bay window so we enjoyed an amazing view of the sunset. Plaice and Lemon Dover Sole excellent ! Samphire and cauliflower cheese very nice extra , great service

Excellent service and great foid

Cannot wait to go back and enjoy the amazing food, service and atmosphere. Big bonus is the handsome landlord.

I stopped here half way, on a bike ride. The weather was perfect, the atmosphere was so welcoming, warm and fun. The staff were lovely, chatty and helpful. Can't wait to go back

Had a great Sunday lunch. Two of us had roasts, two ordered off the regular menu. All of us enjoyed it.

Great pub in very scenic setting with good outdoor seating

Beat pub all round, great views of the sunset. Great service and dog friendly. Great outdoors and plenty of staff too. Food was amazing homemade and menu changes often. Highly recommend this place and definitely book in advance.

Popped in for a coffee while waiting for the ferry but was so impressed decided to have some food. Good service and enjoyed. A pleasant atmosphere and most of all great views. Would definitely recommend, a great pub.

Was really really disappointed with our visit to crown and anchor anchor it was my husbands birthday was really looking forward to it.what can I say food deep fried into an inch of its life a starter with cheese swimming in apple vinegar.tje size of fish burger which was not only hard as stone but the size of my little finger.my husbands starter had none of the kemchi and the fish was so small we had a problem to see it. For a main of 30 pounds it was ridiculous .sorry I felt very strong about writing this review.i doubt we will retun.so to round up.quality terrible.portion size ridiculous. Such a shame.

Really great pub, the scallops and the fish burger were excellent, and we had a great night

Great visit, very friendly & efficient, very good food, nothing to fault..

Amazing view lovely waitress and delicious food , cocktails too I Recommend to everyone x

Sadly on this occasion wasn't brilliant. Having booked online all confirmed and that was fine. Had a table for 4, stuck in a corner, scorching radiator right next to us and couldn't open a window. Noisy as very busy, which is nice to see but couldn't chat to each other as so loud couldn't hear each other. Sadly the batter on the fish was very greasy and slightly over done. Scampi was nice insides, but over done too. Ended up we ate and left ASAP as it was uncomfortable being so hot, we all felt sick. Shame but that's how it was.

Lovely spot overlooking estuary. Busy service. No parking left so had to park up the road. Service was very slow between courses. Starters of mackerel and short rib delicious. Scans main was disappointing as tasteless. Thought it expensive lunch for what we had, paying for the location

We normally love this place but unfortunately last nights meal was below standard e.g. the lemon sole was half the size it would normally be (but not half the price) and the mackerel pate was poorly presented. On a positive note the service was excellent. I’m hoping the standard of the food will returns to normal!

I've visited this pub on and off for the last 45 years and I have seen a lot of changes...... most generally for the better. It's in a beautiful setting and so like many such places can become a victim of its own success. At peak times It's crowded, wait times are longer and the food can vary in quality. However, having visited 4 or 5 times in the past month I'm completely in love with the place once again. Any niggles are soothed away by the lovely staff, the rustic charm and the wonderful outlook. My advice..... go off peak and enjoy.

Great service, superb food, fantastic location, 16th C pub. Could not fault the service. Fantastic experience. Throughly recommended.

Always a joy to visit the Crown and Anchor. Food is consistently good and the staff are wonderful.

Outstanding lunch time visit, a great welcome when we arrived, excellent service and very very good food, Cannot fault our experience, Thank you!

Fabulous evening the whole sea bream for 2 was awesome. Thanks y'all. We are new to the area and will defo be back

Normally very good food and service but last Sunday was a let down in every direction. Drink had to be returned, service was shoddy and I’m certain I was given a child’s lunch! Had the same meal several times but I know this time was not right. The next table to myself were very unhappy too and had to complain. Hate to review like this but needed to be said. 😩

One of the best pubs just outside of Chichester! The fish and chips were exceptional, as was, the day. But we really stood out was the atmosphere! Set on a marsh, the light that pours into the well preserved old English pub, boo charm, and.warmth. It’s got truly everything you could want in a public experience!

Lovely waterside location, great food, wine and interesting cocktails and friendly staff. Can’t wait to come back for supper!

Simply wonderful. The welcome is as warm as the fires and the food was just what was needed after a long walk Highly recommended

Stunning seafood and classics gastro pub in Dell Quay. So good forgot to snap photos - but loved the skate wing special and my friend’s seabass with gremolata was equally delicious.

Food was very nice, hot and served quickly after ordering. Table was near the bar so felt a bit cramped and on show to those standing at the bar. Service was great, and staff were polite. Pub was warm and friendly with roaring fire going. Would recommend a visit.

Really cosy pub in stunning location

Delicious roast lunch and super views

Delicious roast lunch and sticky toffee pud. Pub is cosy with amazing views inside and out!

Made our day! 15 of us for a family getogether. Very friendly and accommodating; food was great and the location is special! The fantastic weather was the icing on the cake!

The meals are tasty and well prepared. The service was far too slow. Either the size of the kitchen or the number of chefs, could not cope with a full restaurant. The location and ambiance are fine.

Love this place, the food is always lovely and will continue to dine here. My only observation is 15% service on wine etc is strong.

What a smashing place! We had dinner there on Saturday night and it was very good. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the setting was lovely. We were visiting the area and would definitely recommend this establishment 👍

Delicious meal early evening on Saturday. Family meal to celebrate 90th. Polite and efficient service from the whole team. Delicious food with, despite previous comments, quite generous portions. Had the Octopus salad starter and Short Rib main with Treacle Tart dessert. All washed down with Harvey’s Best (never been keen on Young’s…sorry). The setting of the pub is beyond perfect. It must be glorious outside in the summer…must return!

Great atmosphere and service Food was very good especially the scallops and Octopus Only negative was the skate was slightly overcooked but overall very enjoyable

Found this gem of a pub by chance last summer,it was rammed but still the service was fantastic,came 30 miles to have dinner Inside this time for my husbands birthday,once again really busy but great food efficient staff and all so friendly to Bert Wellington!our favourite pub.beautiful views and a great vibe,Thankyou.

This pub is a quintessential British pub. I was visiting the area from the America but am from the UK. This pub has a personality and super friendly staff and a great vibe. Great wine list and the beers are solid. The menus are engaging and seasonal. Went 3 times in 4 days. The views across the quay are priceless. Loved the fresh oysters, scallops and the crispy fish and chips were a 10.

Very welcoming (to four-legged visitors too!) and delicious food. Friendly and helpful staff and a great menu.

Lovely staff, great food, beautiful location

Third visit Will return The food is absolutely excellent What a great place to come to

The food, atmosphere and staff were outstanding.

Fabulous food and service for a family meal.

Excellent food across the board. Very buzzy. Related to this, despite it being a February Sunday, they were very busy & ran out of glasses for a while. Staff apologised well, but I would buy more glasses before the summer.

My wife and I were greeted with a warm smile and welcomed, shown to our table and Emma greeted us and introduced herself and took us through the menu and specials, whilst we were deciding Emma brought us some sparkling water and took our order. The starters arrived oysters chilled and rib hot. The place was very busy but we were not rushed or left waiting and we felt that Emma was in control and cleared our plates and brought out the main course crab and lobster linguine which was well presented and tasted excellent (good choice). Upon completion of dinner my wife had ice cream and a rendition of happy birthday from the staff as it was my wife’s birthday. It was a lovely experience with a good atmosphere, friendly staff, excellent food and worth every penny. We will definitely be back.

Absolutely fantastic food. Warm and welcoming with excellent sraff who really made sure all needs were catered for. They fitted 10 people and a dog in no worries, but I would definitely advise booking! We are already looking at our next booking date. Special thanks to Izzy for fantastic service and extra attention to detail, in learning all 10 names (+dog). Thank you 😊

My wife and I came today with our son and his girlfriend for a Sunday lunch , having never been here before, and what a fantastic meal and beautiful pub, in a fabulous location. The Sunday roasts were amazing , so tasty and cooked perfectly, especially the cauliflower cheese and pigs in duvets and as an added bonus more was gravy was offered halfway through, a really great touch. Also I'd like to give a massive thank you to Izzy our waitress for not only her friendly professionalism and great service but also for arranging for me to have custard with my crumble , as it wasn't on the menu, please pass on my thanks. We will definitely be back Many thanks Gary

Crown and Anchor Dell Quay Food was great, but it took far too long to receive our food, just under 50 mins between starters and main. A couple had turned up after we did and they managed to get their starters and main before we got our main. The table adjacent to us had complained that their food had turned up cold and the stake was rubbery, which was taken away. The lighting was poor, could hardly see the menu. I left with a headache due to having to strain to see. We where sat next to a window and my partner was cold throughout our visit. I have visited here on numerous occasions and this has been my worst experience by far. What should have been a memorable valentines meal had turned out to be memorable for all the wrong reasons. Very disappointing

Nice pub, great location. Good service. However, food, just OK. The 'special' was not worth the money. If you are going to charge Michelin Star prices, then I expect a little more than grilled fish, swimming in butter, fried chips and boiled cabbage....

Just came in for a quick lunch, Cumberland scotch egg, fries and a pint. Couldn’t have asked for more but was greeted like an old friend, barman was chatty and welcoming telling history of the building and area. I’ll be sure to be back for a meal soon! Good work team.

Fantastic meal as always at the crown and anchor, warm welcome, chilled drinks, delicious food and fantastic service… particular mention to Alfie who went above and beyond to make sure we all had the best time, nothing was too much trouble! Everyone needs to visit this pub, it’s a hidden treasure!

Cocktails ordered took 25 minutes to arrive and were the incorrect ones, these were replaced but were very mediocre French 75’s. Waitress denied she had made the wrong cocktail. Food when it arrived was good but experience spoiled by poor service and undertrained staff Not up to the standard of service and food that it used to be

Varied menu and great choices for carnivores and vegetarians! Lovely staff and terrific location.

Great location and beautiful view, really nice and helpful staff, a solid burger for lunch.

What a shame ! Visited at the weekend with my family as had previously had drinks at this venue so thought we would give the restaurant a go . The food was a disgrace not even the quality of a fast food restaurant, and portion size a joke ! clearly there’s no quality control or expectations with what comes out the kitchen . I will detail more in my email to management. As a chef myself I wouldn’t have served food visually in such a poor state ! We complained at the time but as to not ruin the evening didn’t bother returning food .

Had dinner on a Saturday night. Even though it was early place was relatively busy and a lovely atmosphere. Was just the two of us. Shared the mackerel pâté to start which was lovely. My wife had a smoked fish dish which she said was lovely. I had the fish and chips which was good but get the batter was a little overdone. Still ate it all!!

Lovely staff, delicious food and a great atmosphere!

We had a lovely meal with great service in a warm and cosy atmosphere. Couldn't fault it.

My husband and I visited hoping for a more homely atmosphere from Worthing but this we did not meet. The very kind waitress managed to get us a quick table for 2 which we were very grateful for but the food was not great and made us both quite poorly.

I hadn't been to the C&A for many years so was looking forward to going back. My plant based burger was fine although a bit messy/slippery but it tasted ok. My Mum's fritters were fine too but my Dad's pork belly was not great. We also waited far too long for our food (around 1 hour), due to the fact that they were busy I think, but it was a shame.

Myself and a couple of friends booked in for the January set menu on the 30/01 and it was absolutely brilliant. I have been for the occasional bite to eat here, however to have a three course meal was brilliant. All three courses were superb, especially the braised beef. The quaility was very good and for this food to be on a set menu for the price we paid, I can only say good things. The food was complimented by the brilliant service from the waitress staff. Will be back this month for the same as have not stopped thinking about that beef! Thank you

Such amazing food, the service was great and the views were 10/10. The scallops especially were unreal! Had a lovely blonde waitress on Sunday, didn’t get her name but she was brilliant! X

Very hard to fault. Great location looking over Chichester Harbour. Great service from friendly, efficient team. Great food. Vegetarian option of Spinach and sage "patty" and mushrooms was particularly good. The pub was packed and I suggest if you go at the weekend you book well in advance. We only had one round of drinks and mains and puddings so our bill was not by any means large. Prices are what I would classify on the medium to high side. But you do get a quality meal to go with it! Definitely recommend.
