Half Moon Pub in Chichester

I was picking up my car from a garage in Kirdford. to think my wife are bringing Me across I decided to stop at the half-moon pub to treat her to lunch as we approach the pub the front door appeared locked however there was no times of opening or closing or no menus we walked around the side to find people inside as we arrived towards the rear of the pub we presented with a beautiful garden and I noticed a rear patio door I opened the patio door and a man said what do you want? I said are you open? His reply was the front door is locked. What does that tell you. I found this to be extremely rude considering they are supposed to be serving the publicyoung lady came up to us and told us sorry sir we’re not opening until midday at this time. It was 1146 whilst the pub was closed. The man’s rudeness has made me realise I never need to visit this pub again. I’m not sure if he’s the owner of the worker chef or just someone in there, but I found his rudeness to be completely and utterly unacceptable on this occasion.

Beautiful old building in a lovely village. The friendly landlord kindly allowed us to park our campervan in the car park overnight. We enjoyed a meal in the pub - very reasonable prices indeed. Next day we had a good home cooked Sunday lunch. Our campervan developed a roof leak in pouring rain and the landlord allowed us to use his silicone to stop it. Thank you - that was so helpful.

Really gorgeous pub with genuine, feel-good vibes. Friendly hospitable barman this Sunday visit. Loads to look at around this establishment. Quirky and fun. I'm sure a lock-in would be the highlight of the month! Ample parking and clean WCs. Next time we'll try a meal.

Made a call to this pub through Brit Stops to stay in the car park overnight and a meal in the evening Made a short trip to Petworth then returned to the sun in the garden in the afternoon The pub is run by Keith and his granddaughter Keith cooked us an unbelievable homemade meal which was great value for money we sat and chatted to Keith and the locals till closing time The public house is the most enchanting place ever with the warmest of welcomes the ceilings are filled with treasures of the past which keep you guessing to what things might be .A truly magical trip to the past long May Keith keep it going a real traditional old school pub Keith I will bring my chainsaw with me next time to help out with the logs Thank you both so much for our stay

Beautiful unique old pub, lovely fire and full of memorabilia I could have spend a whole day looking around. We got a good meal for all four of us in a short time on the table. Great landlord, he is also the chef. Our pub of the year! Well worth a visit.

Unbelievable! A visit is a must! Pubs like this are hard to find and we can call ourselves lucky that we walked through it’s doors just a few days ago. The present landlord who has owned the Half Moon for the last 40 years intrigued us with the history of the pub which featured on Pathe News - Curiosity Pub (1959). Full of old memorabilia, we loved it and will definitely go back soon.

I have been reading some reviews and they should be thankful that we still have some old pubs about showing off true British culture tan by the family serving pub food which I would have expected lovely locals very chatty and friendly Service dog friendly I just love it.

Fantastic pub. Votery friendly family run pub. Fantastic food and very good value for money! Very good menu. Definitely recommend a visit. You will not be disappointed

Lovely small pub, very olde worlde. Came upon by chance great lunch, freshly made so slight wait. Would definitely return.

Lovely 500 year old pub. Easy going, just like pubs should be. We had a very good pork roast We sat talking to the very nice owner, & his beautiful doggie Rex, who was adorable. This is our second time here, we will come back again when we are passing.

Just like pubs used to be years ago with tons of character , lovely open fires, good beer, a familiar ‘cosy’ smell and an amazing collection of vintage and antique artefacts. An unpretentious pub just as pubs should be, without being spoilt by Muzak, gastro food and loud people! Friendly and welcoming landlord, cute dog, Rex, and pretty tortoiseshell cat. Visit this pub before it disappears! It’s a gem!

One of the joys of Sussex is its wealth of interesting, under-discovered country pubs. The Half Moon is a quirky, fascinating place from the old red tractor standing out the front to an interior that's like a museum of county life. My wife's steak pie was very good, and my veggie stir-fry excellent. It was quiet, but with plenty of atmosphere. The landlord and staff were chatty and interesting. They have dogs of their own, and it was a good place to take our own. This being within the South Downs National Park there are great walks and drives all around with the dramatic Black Down a couple of miles up the road. Will definitely go again.

The best pub in the area. Almost the only pub not trying to be a restaurant. I quite like the gastro pub concept but I like to go to a pub for a beer. I’ve been many many times and shall go again. Great beer, great company and great staff. I couldn’t ask for more.

£8 for a sandwich.. it was literally supermarket bread with a bit of ham in it, probably cost 50p to make along with some aged salad. I’m not against paying £8 for a sandwich if it’s full of filling and uses quality ingredients but this was neither! Avoid like the plague.

I ordered Fish and Chips because it's usually a safe pub lunch option. Not this time however.... The fish was overcooked and seemed more like pollok than cod. The chips we're also overcooked - especially the smaller ones. There were quite a lot of small chips.... The beer was excellent. The service very good. A roaring fire very welcoming on a cold day. Maybe I just chose the wrong option for lunch !

For a quiet village it's just as you would imagine, the locals where so very welcoming and the landlord is an interesting man with amazing tales of the village and the locals. Amienties are basic but very clean and comfortable.

Great place to stay with 3 children after a wedding. Comfortable beds, great breakfast, extremely friendly. Superb price.

Fab. Been before. Absolutely lovely. Good value. Food is excellent and large portions. Much better value than the more pretentious pubs in chiddingfold.

Quirky pub as we stopped for a quick drink and sandwich. The ham sandwich was ok but the salad accompaniment was far from fresh! Now I know that negative reviews often get a reaction suggesting complaining at the time so my wife did precisely that - she stated that she wasn’t impressed by salad that gone slimey. The response was “the one that got away”! Not the best response to a complaint!

We, my wife and I, stopped here by chance for lunch. The bar (walls and ceilings) are covered in many implements. We ordered food and drink. during our entire stay in the pub not a single other customer came in. In due course the food arrived: a ploughman's and a cheese and ham toastie. The toastie had a thick piece of ham, clearly hand carved, with tasty cheese. The ploughman's came with good bread and a large piece of cheese. Where it not for the place remaining empty we would rave about the place. However, I can thoroughly recommend the place

Dvery dissapointed ,food was awful , roast pots were deep fryed all you could taste was oil , beef was tough , veg overcooked all in all not a plesant experience , definatley not worth the money ,we will not be returning

Nos recibió una señorita en el más caluroso de saludos en mucho tiempo.

Afortunadamente es raro tener una experiencia tan mala en estos días. Deberíamos haber dejado cuando abrimos el menú Ver cubiertas de comida, sucio y sucio.

Fuimos hoy después de un agradable paseo. En el bar caótico incluso a pedir bebidas, hubieran dejado luego! ! Muy peculiar" dentro, o algunos podrían decir que están sucias. Menú entregados a parecía de 100 años de antigüedad y estaba pegajosa con comida. Varios otros clientes llegamos a un tiempo similar para nosotros, pero no puede haber sido más de 20 personas en todo el lugar como único. Pedimos 3 sándwiches, 2 patatas y 1 porciones de pescado y patatas fritas. Pausa larga, 1 sandwich llegó, más larga pausa pausa 2 más sándwiches, muy largo (por el cual nos habían terminado de sándwiches. . . Pescado y patatas fritas) y vino. Luego al azar 4 después de la cena, aún no llegó de chocolate patatas fritas porciones. Así que cuando llegarón ellos envió y pedimos dinero. Historias similares en todas las mesas alrededor de nosotros. Mi salchicha sándwich era muy pobre para 8 libras, poco apetecible ensalada y pan blanco en rodajas (supermercado encargué granero). Los inodoros sucios. ¡No vayas! !

Popped in on way to and from goodwood and couldn't believe how dirty the pub was. It really hasn't been cleaned for years. The landlord gives british publicans a bad name . Also eat at your peril

We were greeted by the Half moon staff with a very warm welcome to all of us. The food was very good. Big portions for the money we paid. We would all recommend this unique museum like 15th century country pub.

This pub is worth going into simply to see the interior !! Full of ancient items. We had an excellent lunch. My husband`s salmon was superb and my rack of lamb fell off the bone. A very good range of vegetables also

Llegamos a las 13:00 h, hambrientos. Sólo estuvimos en el lugar. El anciano caballero nos sirvió. Él era muy agradable, no hablador. Pedimos comida. Las raciones son generosas y bien preparada. El ambiente era muy triste, cómo el lugar está todavía abierta que no tengo ni idea y este era el almuerzo del viernes Las habitaciones eran memorabilla repleta de cada tipo de cañas de pesca a una esqueleto en la vuelta de la esquina - un cliente que había sido daba?! Eeek. Una verdadera pena.

Parado el domingo a las 2 para un bocado rápido.

Los entusiastas del ferrocarril Club Farnborough eligió su pub para una comida buffet en 31/8/14. 43 de nosotros había estado en un viaje de un día a la línea Bluebell y elegimos este pub ya que quedaba aproximadamente a medio camino a casa.

Si quieres ver lo que un pub tradicional parecía hace 30 años, este es el lugar para ir. Hay una bonita chimenea abierta y un montón de niknaks rurales todo el techo del bar principal, aunque necesitan un buen polvo. Es un lugar acogedor y atractivo. El otro bar se ha establecido más formalmente como un restaurante y parece bastante fría, startk y atractiva. necesita volver a cenas más informales a menos que el menú cambia para adaptarse a ella. El pub sirve unas cervezas y vinos y lo recomendaría para una bebida.
