Love the new layout of the bar and the opening up of the fireplace. Proper cosy pub and friendly staff

This is supposedly a Hall and Woodhouse pub but the beers from this brewery are rarely available. The pumps are there but not the beers. Now the weather is colder customers are greeted to a cold public house. No fire, no heating, no H&W beers on pump. Consider is this somewhere you choose to spend your money?

Apparently the oldest pub in Chichester, a Hall and Woodhouse pub so Badger beer. The Tanglefoot is superb and all the ales are kept well. Great staff and a very interesting, historic building

Service and staff was good and all. Lovely old pub. One big theme though, dirty glass, dirty carpet and dirty tables. Place could do with a deep clean. If it was clean, it would be a 5 star review.

3rd August 24. This is a nice pub, however our visit was ruined by the poor customer service. We came in and when I went to order the lady said, oh I have to go I’ll be back in a minute. I was then left for 10 minutes hanging around waiting. Eventually she reappeared and served me. 25 mins later, I went to get a second round in and was kept waiting for 10 mins as she dealt with a group of customers faffing around undecided on what to order. Then as it was my turn she said , once again, oh I have to go again. I waited 5 mins and gave up. Conclusion, nice pub but poor management.

Normally a good pub but recently gone downhill with drug users in the toilets not the place to go to now. Staff are not helpful - one needs to go on a customer service course! ( streaked hair!) so rude accused us of pushing in when we’d been queuing for 15 mins ! Sad used to like going here not anymore !

Absolutely disappointed. Had to wait ages for a member of staff to appear at the bar. Had to wait ages for our burger and chips so yes i had to order another 2 beers while waiting for our food. No central heating as the radiators weren't on as broken. The power points also not working had to ask bar staff if there was anywhere I could charge my phone and she replied yes but in the kitchen! Eventually the landlady appeared. My god did she look rough. Looked like she had been dragged through a hedge backwards she looked that scruffy. Her hair looked like it never seen a come or brush. Put it this way I've been better pubs than the fountain. I won't be returning as I don't like the pub! It's awful

The burger reminded me of lady Melissandra from Game of Thrones. It looked beautiful, saucy and sight of it got the juices flowing. One bite and the only image which remains is of the red witch when she takes off the necklace; old, stale and bitter. Service was friendly tho.

Nice clean pub, very attentive staff. Biggest let down was the food menu, it was fine if you wanted a Burger or Mac n Cheese. I asked if there were any specials going as suggested on the board and was told nothing else available. I ended up having a burger which was very nicely presented, it was very tasty and the chips were lovely too. I use to go to this pub quite regularly a few years back and they had a really good menu of Pub Classics, but sadly that isn’t the case now. I won’t be returning anytime soon unless the menu greatly improves. When you look at the pubs website it shows photographs of scampi and chips Etc. Being served, very misleading.

This place is always busy around lunchtime, hardly surprising given the value. Sadly, I have recently found that my clothes have smelt of smoke after I leave, which is unusual these days. I have also found the food to sometimes be undercooked, which can spoil things. Whilst I respect the concept, this place is a victim of it's own success, offering value that is head and shoulders above anywhere else of it's kind.

We were booked into this room as a gift from a family member. I looked at the website and saw parking was available and they had a late licence. I called before our visit to check parking would be available as it is right in the city centre. I also asked for our room to be away from the noise from the late licence. I was assured by a male member of staff that parking would be available and as our room was at the rear of the hotel we would be ok for the noise. On arrival there was no parking. I had to leave my partner in the car and go into the pub/hotel for advice. It was a tiny reception desk at the end of the bar. I was told to park in the multi storey car park nearby and they would cover the cost in the morning. Not the stress free start we were promised on the website. Apparently they have no way of stopping anyone from using their spaces. The room was dated and cold. There was a portable heater to use which we did. The disposable ear plugs were a worry but I just hoped they were for really light sleepers. On return to the hotel at about 11pm, after a meal the music was loud and it was packed. Its basically a full on nightclub. The noise in the room was horrendous. the music was coming through the walls and the floor. It was gone 3am before the music died down enough to sleep. We were too tired to even attempt breakfast and when I complained about the noise, the lady just said she was told it was busy last night. I was told I had to complain to management via emails to get a refund. When I first complained it was declined because the website states there will be noise. I had to send a further message to underline my situation and complaint. Eventually they agreed and refunded the full amount. Now if you want a room above a nightclub because you are going to the nightclub then this hotel will be perfect as you wont want to sleep before 3am. Any other guests please be aware it is loud and very busy. I must state I am not reviewing the club or pub as I didn't use either. The photos show a tired room and it needs a overhaul. It is great for being right in the city centre. If it wasn't for the parking and the noise it would have been a different review. The 2 stars are for the location and the staff who were very polite.
