The Four Chesnuts in Chichester

Welcoming staff, very polite and professional. There is a good size garden out back , pool and dart area . We will be returning x

Lovely atmosphere, felt at home with Christmas decorations and music. Wasn’t hungry but ordered a few sides from their menu. The chicken strips and halloumi fries were just what I needed. Very friendly staff and even had my favourite gin big smoke rhubarb and lemonade! Great night and very reasonably priced too :) and its dog friendly too l, they even gave Bob (dog) some treats

£9.85 for a double Smirnoff and coke absolute day like robbery. How can this be allowed a bottle of vodka in Tesco is only £18 !!

THEY NEED TO UP THEIR GAME........PRICES TO MUCH,SIMPLE AS THAT........2 DOUBLE WHISKEYS= 17 POUNDS......ITS A NICE PUB,CLEAN,STAFF FINE/GOOD/,ONE GIRL VERY LOUD,BUT FUN;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Came here for lunch with family, we all ordered wraps/sandwiches off of the very limited lunch menu. The pub was empty except for us (5 adults) and maybe one or two people nearer the bar. We ordered drinks as soon as we came in, found a table and ordered pretty soon after. Bearing in mind we had ordered wraps and sandwiches that came with chips, we waited a very long time, over half an hour. When the food finally arrived (after us chasing it up with the waitress), it was incredibly lackluster. The fish finger sandwiches were supposed to come with tartare sauce and on bloomer bread. The thin fish fingers were in cheap white bread and served with mayo on the side. The halloumi and chicken wraps were served without any other kind of filling, like salad etc and again the sauces were on the side meaning that they were very dry. The only thing that saved the visit was a couple of games of pool, despite the cues bring sticky and there being a poster on the wall saying that pool was free (it was cheap but not free!). Based on this, we wouldn't return which is a shame as we could see this being a real gold mine!

The food was impeccable! Great service and friendly staff, would highly recommend going here, the pub is very inviting and welcoming.

Came here for Sunday lunch. First time weve been here for about four years. The food has improved but the vegetables were soggy ( to be fair though we did come after two so Sunday lunch had been going since 12. Its very cheap, so you get what you pay for. The pub itself is clean and there are obviously locals who go in there alot. It does though have a lot of loud swearing which is off putting if you are trying to have a chat with friends. Would we rush back, probably not . There are far better places for a Sunday lunch but the staff are friendly.

My great nephew and I went to The Four Chesnuts on Friday July 28th evening . We played games of pool, had great chats with other customers, had some lovely friendly talk with the staff and enjoyed some very tasty food. My great nephew had fish fingers, baked beans and garlic bread and I enjoyed four sausages, mashed potato and a Yorkshire pudding filled with gravy and onion rings. There was more gravy with the potato too. Really good pub food at reasonable prices. It’s a very friendly pub where everyone says hello and if you want, carries on with good conversations ! There’s also a dart board as well as pool table and televisions screening current sport etc. but with the volume at ‘sensible’ levels . If you’re looking for a friendly, traditional pub with a fantastic staff team - The Four Chesnuts is where you’re looking for !

On a walkabout we found The Four Chesnuts. It was early after mid week and we were the only customers. The barman was welcoming as were our drinks. The front bar is quite unique being in the fork of the road and watching the trafic coming straight at us. The bar extends back a long way and there is a lovely garden to the rear.

Shittest pub in the world. Booked Christmas lunch and their chef walked out so after two hours we gave up. The management not once apologised and even got in an argument with their customers. Not taking any responsibility for their issues. We work in the industry and fully understand when things go wrong. But their attitude was unbelievably crazy. They didn’t care at all that we had to go home not having Christmas lunch. Thank you four chestnuts. The worst awful most uncaring management in Chichester. Be proud of your zero hospitality rating. We hope you close your doors permanently. Photo of our Christmas lunch.

Stopped here to have a nice roast with the family. Friendly staff, great service. Good choice of larger/cider

Very slow service. Adequate meal. We booked and were told no table avail until 2 pm on Sunday. We were surprised when we arrived to find nobody eating yet Waitress who came to take order explained only one chef, just taken an order for group of 8 so would not be able to do our food immediately. Not even a couple of starter to keep kids going. It was 40 mins before any food arrived. The halloumi and chilli chicken starters were excellent, plentiful and hot. The carvery beef lunch was enormous with ecpxcellent section veg, lots meat. BUT the beef was quite chewy. Would rather have had half the quantity. Beef pie not special. Burgers and chips good

We had a table booked at 2pm for 6. Were told that only one cook and he was preparing a meal for a table of 8. An hour later our food arrived which was average at best. The few staff were lovely and working very hard serving a pub full of drinkers. If they want food custom they need a cook who can cope with more than 8 covers at once. Won’t be going back. Could also have done without some of the choice language from the locals drinking at the bar

The owner and bar staff pay great attention to detail, very attentive. The head chef cooks great food and works extremely hard. Great Sunday lunch and great beer. I definitely will be coming again! Thank you 😊

The pub offers a rear section that is largely separate from the bar area that caters ideally for small gatherings (*see below), whether buffet style, or for a sit down meal. From the moment we met Sharon, the landlady, to organise our aunt's wake we received sympathetic, attentive service. Various options were discussed until we were able to choose what suited us best. Due to COVID restrictions we opted for a sit-down meal. The food was of a very good standard and the service we received attentive but not intrusive. Prices are very reasonable. We certainly intend to visit again. *gatherings of, I believe, around two dozen for sit-down meal

Popped in on the off chance of a table. Everything we ordered was spot on , cooked very well. The pub was having a bit of a face lift at the time but didn’t effect the food.

We was all worried about going to the pub in this current climate.but about 8 -10 of us and the staff seemed well educated on social distancing but applied with a great manner and food was gorgous.a planned meal and drink for 3 hours turned into 6 as it was so enjoyable. Will be having my birthday there next year .thank you to all the staff

I started going into this pub around 2 years ago.. I have to say the landlady Sharron has completely turned this pub around, the staff are polite and friendly, the food is amazing and it's an absolute pleasure every time I visit.

We arrived at the Four Chestnuts to watch the Man Utd v Chelsea match and enjoy a roast dinner. As soon ad we entered the pub a local made a rude comment about us wearing our Man Utd shirts. There was no football on the tv, it was horse racing but were told the football would on once this person had left! We were constantly glared at by the locals in the pub. Avoid at all costs!! Don’t advertise showing the football and have the horse racing on!

Dry pie, small portions, not enough gravy. i did not check the receipt I requested for my expenses which was a pity as there was no description value or price on it.

Great night had by all. The food was plentiful at a good price. They catered for all are needs and communication was 100%. Good place for a get together

We've popped in for a drink previously, and again yesterday, plus three dogs, and couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome, even a treat jar with doggy bones on the bar! We haven't tried the food yet, but after reading other great reviews, are planning to soon. Lovely friendly staff, great relaxed atmosphere, so lucky to have this just a stroll from home!

Where do I start, lovely refurbished pub, staff amazing, the best meal ever honestly 8 of us were totally blown away, will definitely be back very soon thanks for a fantastic welcome and service.

Twice this month we went there. Good service, clean pub. But they changed the food following a change of management. Changed the menu a lot; used to be good home cooked food with real roast beef slices and real chicken pies. Vegetables are mushy instead of steamed. No more macaroni & cheese with broccoli florets (the best!). Now it is cheap pub food. Also where are the waitresses/waiters? Unless they get back like before, they will loose more and more customers.

It's like being in the kitchen at home. Great food from an amazing chef. Quiz going on as well, family atmosphere and drink flowing.

Stopped here for what we hoped would be a quick lunch on our drive west and chose this pub on the basis of the Trip Advisor reviews. For a start we had to wait well over 30 min for our quick lunch, apparently due to some power issue at the bar which they couldn’t help. When we got our food it was terrible and we only ate some of it because we needed to eat. The Cajun chicken was dry and over cooked and served with plain rice and bits of corn. The beef and ale pie was one of the worst pies I have had in years. Even the mashed potatoes and peas weren’t much good. I cannot understand how reviewers have rated it so highly.

Around the table we had steak & ale pie - fabulous; chicken & ham pie - highly recommended; mixed grill - epic; and rump steak - beautifully cooked. Lovely staff. Great atmosphere. A couple of us finished w apple crumble and wandered home really pleased we tried out the new menu.

Since the refurbishment, this place is great, we've been here several times since reopening and have never been disappointed, the staff are always very friendly and helpful, the food is also very good and at a reasonable price. We had Christmas day dinner and we all fully enjoyed it and also spent news years eve there in which they put on a great buffet, also plenty of entertainment with live bands and quiz nights on a Thursday. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Me and my friends drink here all the time the food is fantastic love all the bar staff friendly pub great atmosphere would recommend it to any one xx

We used to drink in the 'Nuts' years ago it was a shame that it shut down. The new refurbishment and pub chain taking it on has done wonders for the place.

Good booze, good food, pub quiz is fun. Not bad prices. Menu is good for pub and has so many options. Burger was amazing. Coming back!

we were staying at Musgrave House - just down the street. Nice friendly place, good food. Not spectacular but just what we needed!

Recommended by the boutique guest house on Oving Road.

We were passing by and thought we'd give it a try, as part of my birthday anniversary treat, and we are so pleased that we did, the food is freshly made and incredibly good. The staff are really nice and welcoming and the place is spotlessly clean. I would recommend them to everyone, we can't imagine anyone leaving this place disappointed. We will be going back even though it is quite a journey but it will be worth it.

Steak & ale pie, risotto followed by fudge brownie cake with ice cream. Good food and good service. Like the new look to the pub. Plenty of tables. Decent pint of Otter! Food and a few drinks for two under £35. Some good offers for those wanting to fine before 5pm too. Good range of food to cover all tastes. Will come back again.

The pub has had a great refurb. and is now much more appealing. I very rarely went here before but now meet friends for a glass of wine. It's attracting more of the community like the "yummy mummies" that just want a drink and a catch-up without going into the town centre.

This was our second visit since the pub has been refurbished. It's very clean and tidy a great selection of drinks and food. The food was amazing will definitely be returning.

Nicely refurbished with a good selection of beers, staff very friendly and the food looked good, however the bad language at the bar meant that we didn't stay long, hence the rating.

Stopped off on a business trip for lunch. Friendly and clean. The steak & ale pie was very good and to top it off my favourite dessert - blackberry & apple crumble & custard 😊

Spent a pleasant evening enjoying a relaxing drink and supper. Food and drink good quality. Service good. Sometimes a little slow

We live fairly near to this pub and as its been refurbished thought we would give it a try. Staff very friendly and nice to think that the restaurant area is not near the televisions and fruit machines. The food was good pub food

Came here to eat with friends. Started by sharing the pork scratchings... marvelous if not a bit fattening. Then graduated to the steak pie, with new potatoes and veg. All agreed their dishes were good and value for money.... good start keep it going.

We visited here on Saturday 6.5.17 at about 6 pm, we had popped in for a drink when it first reopened after the refurbishment but decided this time to eat. They really have done a brilliant job, we used to use this as a local before we moved and the pub closed. The service was excellent, the young lady was very polite and efficient taking our orders and bringing our drinks to us. The beer and food was very good for a pub but I have marked it down as the quality of the fish I had was poor, or more to the point the batter was very soggy and undercooked, shame as every thing else was good, hot plates, nice chips etc. I want to repeat that the service from the young lady was excellent, she was serving at the bar, taking orders and waiting, ok it wasn't very busy with food but she was very calm and looked like she could handle this level of activity easily.

Had a lovely meal today at the four Chestnuts. The service was great with the youg girl chatting to my grandaughter. Nothing was to much trouble. Food was very good and hot, plenty of chose would deffinately return.

This is our local - we have been enjoying it since the 80's with Sir Reg etc.- at last it has been refurnished and the staff, food and atmosphere are all great! Thanks so much ☺💙🌼☺💙🌼☺😎😎

I've been to visit just a few times and I've been welcomed by the staff each time. A very friendly atmosphere, spacious tables and setting. Enjoy the sun going down after work with a beer and friends outside on the tables.

I love a rags to riches story so I feel it is my duty to sing the praises of my 'new' local. Blimey O'Reilly, you can polish a turd! I get that spending £300k+ on a refurb will always lead to improvements but I haven't seen the place so busy in the (nearly) 2 years I've lived here and, chatting to one Chichesteran, it's been rubbish for a good 9 years! A great selection of beverages, staff are extremely friendly and helpful and you don't get 3rd degree burns off the lighting. Fair play to Danielle, Evan and Hannah for making the transition from Croydon to Chichester and well done to all the staff. Long may the success continue.
