The Berkeley Arms in Chichester

We popped in without a reservation on a Saturday lunchtime and luckily they had a table for us. The pub was buzzing with happy people, clearly lots of locals too which is always a good sign. We had three courses - hadn’t planned to but the food was just soooo good! The prawn cocktail was the best we’ve ever had, and mains were delicious. OH had sea bass and I had lambs liver. Both served piping hot and with fresh veg. One of my main beefs is when food isn’t hot enough. Not so here, well done Berkeley Arms. The sticky toffee pudding was to die for too. We live 20 mins away but we’ll most definitely be back!

Such generous portions of lovely homemade pub grub!

First time.there really enjoyed it

Selected from the Blackboard menu. Chicken breast stuffed with silton & apricot wrapped in Pancett, new potatoes and veg mix . Topped off with a silton sauce. Wow wow, amzzzzzzzzzing. For only £16.00. Highly recommended. Lovely atmosphere with a roaring log fire.

Fabulous fishy Friday. Fresh mackerel served on crushed potatoes with horseradish with a complimentary glass of wine. (I was a philistine and had a Merlot) Lovely atmosphere and service, followed by a raucous band. Not that there is a band there every Friday. Made for a a cosy October evening.

11 of us, including 3 children aged 2 , 4 and 6 and they could not have been more welcoming. Food was very good, 3 of us had the pork which actually tasted of pork and all other meats were given the thumbs up. Individual portions of veg. good yorkies and ample gravy. Altogether excellent value.

We ate here twice while on a short break in Bosham. The food , service and the friendliness of the locals was lovely. We just had starters the first night as we had had a large lunch, tonight we ordered from the specials board and it was first rate. I wish we had a pub like this where we live.

nice pub friendly service but did not rate the roast at all, i had turkey it looked processed , a tiny amount of swede broccoli and red cabbage roast potatoes hard not not at all crispy , i was very disappointed , as a roast lover i would not go back

We had Sunday lunch recently while on holiday. I booked ahead and we were given a table in the bar as there was a large party in the restaurant. I had the small plate roast turkey with pigs in blankets (which are charged extra as a side dish). The 'pigs' were 2 full sized sausages wrapped in crisply bacon; there were also 2 large pieces of roast potato, a small Yorkshire pudding and a generous slice of turkey. My husband had the roast lamb (normal size portion). Both roasts were served with a dish each of mashed swede, red cabbage and broccoli. Everything was nice and hot and very tasty. We didn't have dessert as we were full. The staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome. I would definitely eat here again if/when we are in the area.

We didn't eat but the food and menu looked good. Very clean, friendly staff and obviously very well run excellent range of beers and wines too.

Just called in for a drink very friendly staff

Absolutely amazing food, very delicious and good portions. Busy but still given a timely service. Staff were brilliant and accommodating. Beautifully decorated throughout, quintessentially English pub/restaurant. 100% recommend!!

Had the most delicious meal tonight at the Berkeley Arms. Fantastic service and a beautiful atmosphere. Thank you very much

It's okay. An old school pub with traditional beers and a few lagers. Nothing special.

Dog friendly food seating in the bar and a good, varied menu at reasonable prices.

Booked as recommended for Sunday lunch .We were advised it was busy ,so might be a bit of a wait We ordered our roasts and our drinks arrived Over 40 mins later we were advised one of the roasts was now sold out .Our meal arrived an hour and a half after Our booked time and offered a complimentary drink .However the time we waited may have been acceptable if we had turned up without booking ,but WE HAD Booked , so disappointed

Highly recommended!! Tried the pub for the first time on Friday whilst staying nearby, very impressed....lovely food, great service, friendly staff...enjoyed it so much we returned in the Saturday evening for another lovely meal. Will be back again next time we're staying in the area.

The gastro-pub status is getting closer as the Berkley. We are locals and I hadn’t eaten there for a good few months and we went on fishy Friday. Wife had sole and I have to say an excellent piece of fish cooked really well (not over cooked). I had the lamb burger (huge) and my friends had sea bass. Also of note was the beer selection (fullers) which was kept really well and a cracking selection. All in all well be back. Well done team at the Berkley you are giving us a great village pub experience.

Amazing pub and restaurant just 10 to 15 min walk from Bosham Harbour. My wife and I have been several times in last few years and the quality of the food and drink is exceptional. Definitely recommend the sandwiches - Westbourne bakery bread and ample fillings + chips + salad for under £10. Superb

The staff that served me were incredibly helpful but there was a lady who stood out for me and her name was Scarlet who is a very kind . She was amazing the whole time we were there and helped us when we needed it. She was so nice to us and made the whole experience wonderful. The food portions are very healthy and lovely. Highly recommend meals are : Haddock Gratin, Black Forest sundae and Scampi.

Great meal as always. Friendly service and good atmosphere.

Excellent roast great staff Lovely location

Used to be quite nice here but food quality has gone downhill - shame because we’ve eaten here often. £18 for hake had apparently no seasoning and tasted like a school dinner overcooked tin of tomatoes on top of overcooked soft broccoli. - disappointing. My son’s fish sandwhich tasted dry and flavourless.

A very friendly pub that serves very good food with a smile. Thanks go out to Meg who served us and was very cheery and amusing. With so many pubs turning into restaurants our visit here gave us that local pub feeling which can't be bad. Here's an idea for you, ask for mint sauce with your mushy peas, you won't be disappointed 😋 Looking forward to our next visit. It was only after we left that I realised that a tip was not included. I'll make up for that next time 😄

Friendly staff, food was excellent, and will definitely return.

Just stopped for a pint on way back to station. Prices very reasonable compared to my home in Brighton . Definetly go back on my next trip to the area.

We were travelling to the airport, but wanted a meal along the way. My partner phone up on the off chance to see if the had a table available. The restaurant was full, but they kindly reserved us a table in the bar area. We had Calamari to start with their Homemade Garlic Mayonnaise which was to die for. For the main meals, I had Bass with Soy Sauce Noodles and Pak Hhoi. I enjoyed mine, but it was a bit too salty. My partner had a Homemade Cheese Burger with Bacon and Chips. The pub is beautiful inside and out with a cute homely village pub atmosphere. They have plenty of garden table and a Free carpark. All the staff were really friendly and couldn't do enough to make you happy and comfortable. Thank you very much 😊

Good Fuller's pub in lovely village

Excellent service. The chef even came out to discuss dietary requirements. Lovely pub. Great food, even decent value.

Lovely food, took my Dad for his birthday, we had a table for 4, and everyone cleared their plates. Delicious ! We'd booked the restaurant side, but was quite busy, so they kindly moved us to a lovely table in the bar, which was equally as nice as the restaurant. Plenty of choices on the menus, plus Senior Special board bargains. Will be returning 👍

Haven't had such a delicious pub meal for a long time. Steak cooked perfectly, Halloumi and mushroom burger wonderful. Great friendly service. 10 out of 10 from us.

The Berkeley Arms are situated just outside the lovely village of Bosham. Lovely cosy pub serving an excellent menu choices. Outdoor seating is available. The food and service were second to none. Highly recommended

Very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the hummus & pita, bacon & brie and chicken goujon sandwiches. Also some pints of HSB

Great food, staff are very friendly and welcoming and the pub has such a lovely atmosphere. The Senior's two course lunch is really great value for money. Love it here 👍

So friendly, good food, great atmosphere, and charming staff. Brilliant!

Excellent food and the service was too

Excellent service & lovely food.

We stopped in for a bite to eat and boy I’m glad we did. Great pub great service and most importantly great food.

A great meal and friendly service which was also great value.

Stopped here after a very long muddy walk, welcomed even though we were very dirty. Given a table with no problem and felt very comfortable. All the staff were polite, friendly, with lovely smiles. Fish finger sandwich was very tasty, as was the sticky toffee sundae 🍨 😋 We will return, a little less muddy next time. Thank you

Lovely old pub, attractive beer garden and nice staff.

Wide choice of meals prepared from ingredients from locally sourced suppliers. Meals were good, as were quantity and service. The room was pleasantly warm from an open fire on a cold evening. We will be back.

Good food and good choice of beers. Regular live music too.

This is a charming cosy pub especially at this time of the year with roaring fire. Located in the heart of the village a few minutes walk from the harbour. Lovely garden in the Summer to relax and watch the world go by. Nice modern loos. Car park at rear. Seperate dining room. Nice friendly staff.

Food is fantastic, OAP smaller portion option for Sunday Roast is great. Service is friendly and prompt. Excellent place.

Awesome little pub and very friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit

Excellent Sunday lunch. Food absolutely brilliant. And staff all very friendly couldn't do enough for you.will certainly will be visiting again !

A little chilly, temp had changed quickly and heating was catching up. Service very friendly.

Gosport motorcycle social group ride out to visit here. Great experience. Great location good selection of food and drink.

Lovely meal plenty to eat, staff still training I think but did their best.

Delicious food with plenty of outside seating. Dog friendly.

What a lovely pub. So pleased we stopped off here. Kid friendly and dog friendly too. The staff were amazing and were super helpful. I thoroughly recommend the caramelised onion, beetroot and goats cheese tart...Omg totally de-lish. I would definitely recommend a visit to this place...you won't be disappointed. The menu has so many marvellous choices too.

Great pub, location and menu. My vegetarian Sunday roast was good but just didn’t live up to expectations. Nut roast was safely seasoned and vegetables were meagre in portion. Great sunny day so nothing spoilt but could do better, definitely coming back though.

Loved having a pint here the other day - the building is just gorgeous and the lady working at the bar was super friendly and knowledgeable. I learned that a Bloody Mary made with Gin is called a Red Snapper and while I am not sure I would order it again, it was prepared really well and I am glad I tried it!

Phenomenal chips!! They were just the perfect crispness! Best chips in all of West Sussex! Burger was great too! Fish from fish and chips was very fresh with crispy batter!

This place is outstanding - I had a wonderful evening - lots of interesting people - one with Welsh connections, 2 Kiwis, two locals and a Dutchman, a family of Dutch…… Great beer, lovely food and , surprisingly, for those parts, reasonably priced. Looking forward to my next visit to the area - I know now we’re I’m going!

Nice atmosphere, excellent food, good choice, good portions, good beer, friendly efficient staff, reasonable prices, what more could you ask. Thoroughly recommended.

Nice little pub. Had the fish and chips. Big portion of fish, slightly undercooked but nice enough! Sat out the front and watched the village life. Car park at the rear. Nice staff.

Nice pub in Bosham. Had to eat the fish & chips ofcourse. 😊 Stayed in Bosham for the festival of Speed at Goodwood.

Friendly staff, very approachable and helpful. Nice, trade public house, some seating outside and small carpark too. Serving food from 12-2:30 and 6-9.

Good village pub. Fullers beers. Excellent wood-fired pizza van visits on Tuesday evenings. Pub food served in dining room or in garden is of good standard pub grub

Lovely stop off while visiting Bosham on Saturday and two wonderful welcoming ladies that greeted us. We didn't eat but saw a nice menu (booking advised) benches outside with parasols and nice clean ashtrays. Have to say, well done for whoever looks after their garden, the pub looked wonderful at the front, particularly as we haven't had rain for some time and high temperatures... Well done for all that watering!! It didn't go unnoticed. We would visit again 100% and maybe try some food this time. Thank you team Berkeley, you provided a hot afternoon walk with a great oasis.

Lovely Pub in the quiet area of beautiful Bosham. Front and back gardens, so you can choose sun or shade. Great menu and food. Such beautiful flowers in the garden

Hot Uncomfortable seating outside. On a main road. Little shade. Food great if you like chips with everything.

Nice pint and a good welcome. We didn't eat.

Great pub dinner, reasonably priced, quick service and nice attitude from the staff

Great pub with attentive, helpful staff and excellent food. Good choice of dishes on menu and portion sizes generous. Good value for money, not too expensive.....we had 3 courses plus drinks for about £30/person.

Only had a drink and used the toilet today. Seems to be nice pub with beer garden on the front and dining area on the left if the main entrance. Staff seem to be good and offer quick service. It’s of the Fuller’s brewery chain pub. The beer selection was not the best. Didn’t enjoy that much the meantime IPA. Pub parking is in the left side the pub. Went in yesterday/ bank holiday and told it was not serving food.

Lovely pub, great service, would come again.

Great friendly service. Burger made fresh and tasty side salad. Sea Bass a little disappointing in presentation and lack of vegetables. Smokers spoil outside seating but guess they have to go somewhere Would return visit as good experience overall.

Nice friendly pub with good pint

Foods was not amazing, service was very poor and need improvement.

Really nice food and drink, staff are really friendly, love the fact they have blankets you can use , nice to see , will go back.

Very lovely food, lovely atmosphere.

We went on a Saturday night on the hop, and managed to get a table. Helpful friendly staff, good service. Lovely good value pub menu, we can recommend the homemade steak pies with lots of fresh veg. Good atmosphere and tables well spaced. Would recommend.

super pizzas on Tuesdays and friendly local pub

Great food, friendly service and a lovely garden. Loved it!

We had a lovely roast here. The small plate is a perfect option for a late lunch and still a good portion size. The service was quick and friendly, and my mum's latte was promptly replaced when the first was slightly cold. Staff were attentive and friendly. Overall a lovely visit, thank you!

Great food, good atmosphere , polite and friendly staff

Amazing place for warm talking, having drink and food with friends

I have had a pleasant experience in the Berkley Arms friendly staff and a glass of wine with my friends from London

Great food and service. Scarlett goes the extra mile!

Nice place with a friendly atmosphere and nice staff

Had lunch at Berkeley Arms today with my Wife,Sister & Brother in Law.Excellent service and delicious food.We will visit again soon,can thoughly recommended this place.

Food was delicious and table service was friendly and efficient

Lovely atmosphere, incredible food and wonderful staff. Cannot praise enough and a really great pint on London Pride!

A small village pud with a dining area on one side and a lounge/ live music area on the other, we went on a Monday evening when we thought it would have been quiet, no there was a party with a band so the pud was doing what it should do best ..to entertain it was great to see. The pub is well presented and the staff are friendly, we had a great night out.

Really lovely pub restaurant. Staff helpful polite and prompt. Very enjoyable lunch gr8 food and beer selection

The food and service was excellent. The fish pie was one of the best I have ever eaten. Well done The Berkeley Arms

Great Villiage pub atmosphere with good service and excellent pub food. Found as a second choice when the Anchor was full but would return in preference any time

Visiting Bosham looking for a pub lunch, unfortunately all establishments were rammed but was given the location of the Berkeley Arms by the local postman(don’t ask). The Berkeley only a 10 minute stroll outside Bosham and was delightful, the service was great and the menu selection was exactly what was needed on a cold blowy Thursday lunchtime.

These guys pulled out all the stops for my birthday. Linda and Zoe and the team were so welcoming and made my party really special. They could not have done anything more to make my special evening any better. The food was delicious and everybody commented that they enjoyed it. What a great night !

Had a great family meal at the Berkeley Arms. Warm welcome, great food and excellent service throughout! One of our group required Gluten Free and was provided with her own menu. We consider it a great find and look forward to returning!

Best pub in the area. All round unbeatable.

Staff were the high point, very friendly and attentive. Wouldn't recommend the burger personally, overcooked and bland. Also dessert way overpriced. Had the sundae, but just ice cream and half a digestive biscuit......no whipped cream or real fruit.......disappointing food wise, but nice pub atmosphere and staff are friendly

Amazing food and nice staff would come here again

I had the seniors Christmas special. Great value at £15 and plenty to eat. Pub has a nice atmosphere and we have always found the staff friendly and helpful. I have had other meals there and they have always been excellent. My wife loves the sea bass.

Great place and great team 👏 👍 🙌 👌
