The Anchor Bleu in Chichester

Disfrutamos de una encantadora comida familiar aquí. Era un lunes por la noche y tenían una oferta de 'todo en la red £ 10'. Excelente relación calidad-precio. Había un ambiente acogedor y el personal era muy amable y acogedor. La comida era excepcional - recién cocinado y porciones generosas. Una gran noche y no puedo esperar a volver.

Le propusimos el pub a Bucklander ayer, lo que se dijo era cierto. Hannah era maravillosa y lo que se dijo era verdad, ella toleró nuestras peticiones con buena gracia. El pub tiene una buena política de propinas, no de esta tontería contradictoria "discrecional opcional". La habitación de arriba tiene una buena vista al puerto. Aparca en el aparcamiento, no la playa junto al café, la marea baja - Canuto lo mostró todo, pero la gente no aprende de la historia.

Hemos comido aquí un par de veces, pero nunca dejó una crítica. Ambas comidas que hemos tenido aquí han sido excepcionales. El servicio, el ambiente, el personal y la comida son increíbles. Recomiendo encarecidamente su tarta del día, especialmente el pollo tandoori si está encendido... . Sólo um. Y termina con chocolate blanco y tarta de queso de frambuesa... Gran lugar

Qué hermoso pub relajado. Entramos por detrás y hay un paso adelante. Acogedor comedor lateral con una gran mesa redonda para 4 de nosotros. Excelente, encantador y capaz servicio por la encantadora Hannah que estaba muy feliz de ayudar y que sonrió a lo largo de nuestras solicitudes sordas sobre el menú. El pastel y las patatas fritas eran deliciosos, excelentes patatas fritas y verduras perfectamente cocidas junto. Muy buena sidra, cerdo encurtido. ¡Y buen café también! El pescado con papas fritas se veía bien, y porciones muy generosas. Y los precios eran muy razonables. No podía faltar un almuerzo agradable con un excelente servicio. Gracias.

food and service was outstanding, lovely welcome and staff so helpful and friendly

Enjoyed a great lunch on the balcony with a lovely view over the water. Excellent food and friendly service.....

Visited here yesterday and returned again today with my family from Australia. Great choice of meals, and we all enjoyed our time here. Thank you so much. 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋‍♂️

Excellent ales, and great food. Service excellent. A real treat on our visit to Bosham.

Un pub peculiar con el mar contra una pared. A pesar de que hay una carretera fuera no hay aparcamiento, utilice el aparcamiento público a unos 200 metros de distancia. El personal y la comida estaban bien, supongo que está muy ocupado en el verano

Nice quirky pub with good service. Food just average imo but nice real ales.

This pub has so much character, friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. Can't fault that - but the food we had was very disappointing. The chips were so greasy and oily and the food was generally a bit bland. For the money - £22.50 for a steak - I wasn't impressed at all and again cements the idea for me that it's better to cook it yourself!

Right by the water, Fabulous views and great food

As a regular visitor to this pretty place, it was a big disappointment to be met with the rude and arrogant, male bar manager, who did not seem to care at all about his customers, their comfort or their welfare. After coming here for several years, sadly I think the impact on my family from his attitude, is enough to prevent us all from ever returning. Good food served by a souless crew - with the exception of the young man, who is kind, polite and tries to be helpful - but it’s obvious that this young lad is up against it. The owner/manager really needs to sort his head out. How can such an inhospitable man be in hospitality?

Arrived here Sunday afternoon. Totally unwelcoming staff (two older people- one male, one female). Rude, sarcastic and unpeasant- it’s like they didn’t want us in there/ or any other customers for that matter. Bar flies everywhere. On fly flew right into my eye and the man behind the bar (middle aged guy, very direct), made a sarcastic joke instead of trying to help. Made me feel stupid and cleverly turned this round on the customer. It seemed like after the food service is over, there is zero customer service. The ladies toilets were dirty and clearly hadn’t been cleaned. You really have a captive market here but my advice to you as an establishment is this - you never know who people are, what business they may bring you and ultimately- everyone should be treated with respect. We are giving you custom and the way we were spoken to and treated by both the male and female middle aged members of staff made us feel so uncomfortable that we decided to leave. Totally unprofessional, unpleasant and unnecessary. What a shame to treat people like that. We will not be returning and we will be advising our friends and family of this too.

Great location and hosted by the manager who is always right in it. One of our favourite places to eat locally and the food is always top notch

Limited tables on the sea front, so book in advance. Good menu Good service The only pub on the sea side?

Amazing vegan sea cake. Great to have something from the sea ; samphire!

Lovely early evening meal in the front garden with sun setting. Great beer and very good Fish’n chips for the six of us. Would highly recommend

The crab tartlet was very disappointing. It was neither cold, nor warm and didn't taste of crab at all. The chunky chips were nice and hot at least

Food tasted great. Service seemed a bit clueless..one particular young man had no idea what sides were meant for whom. General vibe- a bit hectic- lovely views, tables just too close together upstairs. We asked for a couple of changes to dishes that could not be accommodated- apparently the kitchen is super small so things have to be as they appear on menu. Food quality great.

Lovely pub to sit and watch the tide come in or go back out. Limited selection of beers but good enough and nice to have the option of the beer garden or the terrace on the front - which becomes a sea view if you're there at high tide! Inside was really cosy too which was perfect for an after dinner drink.

The food was lovely The chocolate brownie was let down it was very hard.

We had a lovely lunch here today. The food was amazing and the service was brilliant. The gentlemen that served us was very friendly. We will definitely be back!

A great and unique place for lunch. Part of our food order was forgotten but that didn't spoil an excellent lunch.

The baguette was very tasty. Friendly staff. Order at the counter like in any pub. Two flood-free offers on the board.

Great location, and very popular. Seems like you find a table that's not reserved and they will come and serve you (drinks and snacks can be ordered at the bar). No paper menus, so look at the blackboards. Not much choice for vegetarians (and none I could see for vegans). Service was good and friendly. Food was good, but had too much salt added. (At least half a teaspoon per plate). I recommend the flower pot IPA, a fantastic brew..

We were there for lunch on August 15th. Sounds like a different pub to the one some people below have been reviewing. Bar and service was run by three sisters. They could not have been more attentive, polite and efficient than they were. We have been going to this pub for years but it has never been as good as it is now. Much cleaner and better organised. We'd made a table reservation by email - luckily indoors as the weather was unusually 'fresh'. Food was excellent and there was no attempt to rush us. Ignore the moans. As long as these three ladies are there you will not regret your visit.

Excellent food, excellent value, lovely position.

As always a first class meal and great service. Cannot fault.

Excellent pub with a strong focus on high quality food and service. Menu changes daily. Good selection of beers that are well kept.

Beautiful little pub with amazing views of the water. I recommend booking a table on the deck for dinner as it's very busy in the summer.

Enjoyed a wonderful vegetarian lunch on August 11th. Great location and extremely helpful and happy staff. It was very busy so the wait for our food was over half hour but it was worth it. Beautifully presented and very fresh. I will be back!

Good pub. Upstairs dining room was a bit quiet and you can get forgotten about by the staff. Downstairs was humming. Beautiful surroundings.

Visited today, Bosham was busy as it was a lovely sunny day. Had a short wait for an outside table as we cannot access the pub itself with a wheelchair, and it was far too warm & sunny to be indoors anyway. Food was wonderful as always, fish & chips were amazing as were the lovely salads, compliments to the chef. Thank you also to the friendly, helpful staff. We will visit again soon. 🤗

We were in the area and popped to Bosham Quay as the views are stunning. We stumbled across The Anchor Bleu just by the water and it was very busy, staff were brilliant finding us a place to eat outside over looking the Quay, we were served quickly , brilliant!

Excellent food, excellent service and excellent views. Go there and enjoy a way of life that is very rare now to find in the UK.

Good food, but unfortunately the unwelcoming/unprofessional staff let it down. We pre-booked this pub a few weeks before, for a special reunion with friends. On arriving at our table the staff member changed the name and time displayed on our table and told us bluntly that we had the table for two hours. This is fair enough, but it would have been nice to have been warmly welcomed first! We then ordered and were told there would be a 45min + delay on the food. I very politely commented that obviously this would be added to the two hours. The staff member said ‘no’ but said they would check. They told us they were understaffed in the kitchen and bar. Without trying, we had clearly heard our request being discussed and the staff talking about us and other guests. The tone of the conversation was not nice and for a short while it seemed like they had forgotten that they actually needed customers and that we had all chosen to come here. The server returned to confirm that this time was added and we thanked them. The food did take 45 minutes, but we didn’t need the added table time in the end as we moved on somewhere else for coffee after. Staff continued to talk about other customers throughout our meal both at the bar and close to tables and this just didn’t feel very kind or professional. The food was good and hot. The setting is lovely.

We’ve just had dinner at the Anchor Bleu. Fresh and delicious home cooked food. Steaks perfectly cooked and of good quality, great value for a ribeye as well! Best chips we’ve had for ages, crunchy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. The gluten free crab tart was delicious as well. Service with a smile. Highly recommend a visit but recommend booking as it’s always very busy, especially on sunny days!

Lovely pub. We ate upstairs. Great views of the harbour. Great food. Great beer. Great staff. Lovely location. What more do you want?

Great place, Great Food and FAB staff

Superb pub by the water. Great food and good selection of beers. Lovely staff

Busy place, but we got a table, drinks and lunch and were out in an hour! Service is great, food is lovely. They are dog friendly inside and out so it was nice on a hot day to sit inside. I would definitely recommend.

Fantastic place and gorgeous views out to sea

Popular olde worlde pub with very friendly staff and excellent food. Must book in advance to get an outside table with harbour views. No parking, use the nearby public car park or bus service.

Came for an excellent small lunch here today, just two of us. We had the crayfish salad (as a main - £14.95) and the crab thermidor tart w/ salad and new potatoes (£15.95). Really delicious, well presented food. My only gripe is that the crab tart could have come with a slightly larger amount of salad, and I'd expect, for the price, the less tastu parts of a tomato to be removed and uses for sauces and stocks (as there were quite a few white/less tasty parts). That is a very very minor issue, the meal was excellent. Great range of beer, and wine, and the beers I had were fresh and clearly well kept. Will come back again as soon as I am back in the area. Beautiful spot, right by the water.

Don’t normally do reviews, but had an excellent experience at this pub today. There were ten of us and we all had a great time. The food was good, lovely atmosphere and we had tables at the rear of the pub on the veranda overlooking the estuary. The main reason I’m leaving a review is because of the excellent service. The young man looking after us was a consummate professional in terms of attentiveness, knowledge of the food and drinks on offer, and recommendations, this coupled with his personal demeanour served to make it a memorable experience for all of us. Thank you.

Great atmosphere, staff really friendly and welcoming, good beer, good food and great views across the bay! Oh and the sun came out, time for silly hat! (Photo of Aston Martin DB12 ‘cause it happened to be there and I like them).

Visited Bosham and came across this pub as we walked. Was crowded on a Tuesday lunch which was a good sign but meant our choice of table was limited to one nearest the Loo. But, while I recommend the sea facing restaurant room upstairs or the wonderful bar, I must say the food, service and atmosphere was 10 out of 10. My partner is a vegetarian and was a bit sceptical about the vegan fishcakes but she was so happy, excellent was her judgement. Really recommend and will most certainly return. The staff and their attitude was perfect. Thank you

While staying in Bosham during the goodwood fos week we visited and ate in the Anchor Bleu two nights in a row. Would highly recommend a visit. Amazing food, good selection of beers and wine and a lovely welcoming atmosphere. Would definitely be my local if I lived in the area 😊!

Beautiful little pub in a quaint little village!! Food was amazing!! We were staying local in an air BnB for Goodwood festival of speed. Would highly recommend. Beautiful location situated on the water front.

Good food but the woman who took the order from behind the bar was abrupt to say the least. Certainly not friendly or welcoming.

No atmosphere, tired surroundings and poor selection of beers. Broken furniture in the corner, obviously more a restaurant than a pub, 2 largers, both Spanish, Madri & Cruz Campo, why? Won’t rush back.

We hadn’t booked and the pub was very busy however the staff were so helpful and immediately made available a small bar table by the bar for three of us. We ordered our delicious food which was fairly speedy considering it was very busy. We had a very good first visit and would absolutely recommend. The pub is on the water front and Bosham a charming place .

Such a wonderful find. The staff were all so welcoming with a great atmosphere and the food was excellent we shall definitely be coming back

I visited this pub for the second time and it was as good as the first. We had not booked but Jonah serving us went out of his way to find us an excellent table by the water. I had fish and chips which was really tasty. The service is friendly and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone visiting Bosham.

Food was amazing. Lovely, chatty staff and very fast service. Couldn’t fault one bit!

Hidden gem! Friends recommended this charming pub, 5 stars across the board…Excellent food + service and lovely views. Hubs and I both had steak and ale pie, so yummy..with beautiful veggies and perfect chips. Will definitely be back!

Lovely place, but dont bother walking down from the station in the afternoon because they dont serve food after 2.30pm untill 5.30pm and no where says this online untill you get here starving hungry.

We arrived to have lunch at this quaint pub, first visit, went in, no instruction regarding how to order food, asked one female waitress “do we need to book a table” response was sometimes and walk off !!! Eventually spoke to a gentleman very pleasant and we sat at a table outside. My sister went to the bar ordered food/drink and sat down again, food arrive quite swiftly and tasted nice. But very expensive!! No prices attached to menu board ? My sister went inside to pay the bill to be told the total and there is no service charge on the bill, waitress said “ how much do you want to pay ??? Lovely pub, nice atmosphere but boy staff are grumpy and passive aggressive request for service charge, take heed

Not doing pub stopovers to save you a phone call

Best fish and chips I've ever had by far. Fish was so fresh, soft and flacky. It was covered in a lightweight incredibly crispy batter and came in a very generous portion. Low price for what you actually get. Best part is you get to enjoy a delicious meal whilst overlooking a beautiful bay.

Delicious meal at this delightful pub; a lovely atmosphere right on the sea where the road outside floods every high tide! The menu was quite quirky and interesting ‘kelp, samphire … seacakes’ and ‘Mediterranean couscous with hummus’ as well as pie of the day, etc. Despite being really busy on a sunny day, the meal was served quickly by friendly, smiley staff - in particular the funny, patient guy who must have been driven mad by our inability to decide between chips (fat, crispy crunchy skin-on fries with sea salt) or new potatoes. We had both in the end. He was excellent 👍🏻👌🏻

Lovely friendly pub with great views. With hot well presented food and really nice staff. Look forward ti returning.

Setting, service, staff, food and drink all exceptional.

Beautiful old pub on estuary beers a bit iffy but everyone friendly a nice place when sun shines

Best restaurant in Chichester, best service, the food is delicious, my favorite are Imam Bayildi and Sea Bass File (Grilled fish). Recommend 100%

Quaint wee establishment, love places like this, friendly, great buzz, Def worth a visit, will try food next time and update

Lovely meal very polite and accommodating staff excellent situation looking over Bosham Harbour well worth a visit and it wont sting your pocket

Don't change anything 😉 perfect 🙌👍 Dominique ☑️

Just popped in for a drink on the terrace. There's a great dining room upstairs, with views of the harbour.

Great little place. The food was excellent. Hubby had the dressed crab, and I had veggie burgers/cakes. The place was packed, and the drinks were flowing. I do with there were more veggie options on the menu tho. Highly recommend this pub and Bosham as a whole. The little terrace at the back overlooking the water was gorgeous and the perfect place for a sunny drink or food.

I absolutely love going to the anchor bleu. It's always friendly, welcoming with wonderful food and ales. It feels like being on holiday being there, just wish I lived closer to it. Can't recommend it enough.

We only came for a drink but loved the ambience, views and would come here again for food.

Nice pub that backs on to the water in a quaint little village. Nice selection of food with a few kids options. Still managed to get a table even though it was busy. Service was excellent.

We went to Bosham with friends on Sunday and whilst there, we booked lunch for four of us at the Anchor Bleu. . The position of the Anchor Bleu pub with dining, is along the water’s edge at the end of Bosham. The table we booked was upstairs with views out of the window onto the sea. The service of the staff was excellent and there was a good selection of food to choose from. The food, both starters and mains were delivered at reasonable waiting times and were hot and well presented. Seating is available outside, back and front and indoors both upstairs and downstairs. There is a good selection of drinks to go with the food.

Visited Bosham early bank holiday with family friend and Mum. Mum's friend had a week before visiting, lost her husband and, Bosham was a place that they both visited and loved going to. We were very lucky that there was a cancellation that day at The Anchor Bleu and we were sitted quickly by midday. Ben made it a very special day and was most attentive, he made our experience exceptional. We all order fish and chips; it was quick to come and hot. The fish was large, chip crispy and the small salad on the side with sauce(s) was to delicious. Definitely would recommend a visit, can't wait to try something else on the menu.

Tartar sauce terrible. Chips mediocre greasy I am suffering terrible indigestion from them whilst reviewing. The fishwas ok. Poky table squashed in. There is no service you order pay at bar but we were asked if we wanted to tip?. We didnt stay long left a lot of it. Do not recommend unless you are local and have booked.

Had lunch and food for the four of us was fantastic. Good price ,staff fantastic, we are local so this is and has always been a great experience.. Book up as can get busy!

Didn't get food But lovely polite staff Perfect location too Looking forward to visiting when the tide is up Lovely pub

What a cute and quirky old pub. We enjoyed our beer and wine and the excellent, friendly service. The food was excellent and I would not hesitate to return when next in the area.

Lovely location, overlooking the water. Food was great.

It's a really lovely Waterside pub. It is very atmospheric and well run with good food as fair prices. Unfortunately, our visit was spoiled by a family who seemed unable or unwilling to control their noisy children! How about a sign by the door, 'Well behaved dogs and children welcome?'

Nice spot looking out across harbour. Food well presented but overcooked and very crunchy. Staff need to be mindful that they don’t talk about their customers openly in the bar. They were discussing a party of 10 booked for this Saturday who they referred to as “going to be a drama” - so unprofessional!

Visited on busy Easter Monday afternoon, but despite this the bar staff were prompt with serving drinks, and separately taking our food orders Good choice of food options on the blackboard Didn't have to wait too long for the food to come out

Absolutely splendid "Pie & Pint" night. The staff here are, all, 100% on their game. So good to see young lads totally engaged in their business, Simple food done exceptionally well, beer and wine spot on too! Excellent! 😃

It was a beautiful and above all rain-free day, the terrace was open and so we were able to enjoy a cool drink in the relaxing atmosphere the anchor bleu.

Went in for drinks only. Good atmosphere, service and wine.

Anchor Blue is a favourite of mine. Cheerful welcoming servers and brilliant food. I had the stealk, ale and mushroom pie which excellent. My friend fad the meat pasty which she loved. Of course we will be back!!

Brilliant place for the sea level view, the decent grub, the friendly informality. Strongly recommend the Baileys Afforgato for dessert.

Eaten here a few times now and it is always wonderful food, they have a new menu every day i think? with some consistant dishes like the fish & chips and the pie of the day. The portion sizes here are large, perfect for each dish, especially the pie of the day. its very good value for money and a cozy atmosphere with the rustic pub interior and a working fireplace. Bosham is a sweet village as well, so definately a great place to go if you're in the area, but the Anchor Bleu is definately well deserving of travelling specifically to eat there.

Great location. Awesome fish and chips.

Apart from the wonderful situation and view over the harbour and the cheerful wait staff, the experience was one to be avoided. After a hour and a half wait the roast beef arrived with the usual trimmings and a bowl of soggy vegetables. The beef was jaw achingly impossible to eat, grey in colour and rimmed with gristle. Would never recommend a friend - maybe an enemy!

When we initially got there at 5.30pm on pie night for our booking, the guy behind the bar and who took our order was friendly but it turns out he was the pubs downfall! It’s only because the young guy who took over from him was so fantastic that this review isn’t a lot worse. He really saved it! We were told when we ordered with the first guy that pie comes with chips or new potatoes. We asked for mash but was told that’s not an option. After we had eaten we noticed the man on the table next to us had mash! We asked our new server what pies come with and he confirmed it’s either chips or mash! 2 people really wanted mash but was told they couldn’t have it which isn’t ok! The second issue was that our original server forgot to put the 2yr olds meal through! This resulted in tears and tantrums while the 4 adults had food in front of us but the toddler didn’t. The new server rushed the order through as quick as possible and to his credit removed it off the bill without hesitation. The third issue was that all the bowls of chips had to go back because they were cold! The carrots under the top layer in the veg bowl were not just cold but fridge cold. To be fair, we didn’t mention the cold carrots because by then the poor server who had already gone above and beyond to deal with the previous guys mess ups, had apologised so much that we felt bad to mention anymore issues to him. Not good anchor bleu!

Amazing pie, service very efficient and friendly

We went twice to the Anchor Bleu. Monday night they did a main course meal for £10. There were a few options but we had Pop-corn Prawns, Chips and Salad, Really good! We got talking to the couple on the next table and decided we would pair up with them for a Pub Quiz the next evening. The cost was £7.50 which included a bowl of chicken chowder plus the quiz! It was an absolutely fantastic night! Fun questions and atmosphere. We came third! Must mention the staff, they are really hard working and helpful with brilliant senses of humour! Thank you guys!

Delicious food, especially the Affogato!

Lovely location on the waters edge

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to Jonah and the the anchor bleu staff, made our visit so pleasant and the most amazing fish and chips

A 16th century pub with plenty of character in a superb location. Staff are brilliant, friendly and helpful with great advice on food and drink. The food was of high quality and also appealing as "home made" in terms of preparation. Specials are very good Highly recommended

This is a lovely pub in a great location, very friendly, great food and service. My only criticism is that the vegan option has not changed in several years so there is never any surprise or variety. Our latest visit was February and it was the standard sea cakes with salad. Where is the warming winter stews with chunky bread? I’d even welcome a curry or chilli for a change. The treacle tart is amazing though and lovely to have a vegan dessert option, thank you.
