The Half Moon in Chichester

I recently visited the half moon with my partner and had a fantastic experience! The atmosphere was warm and inviting and the service was exceptional. The manager Tom, truly goes above and beyond to make sure every customer feels welcome and valued. The landlord and lady (Manny and Natalie) are also incredibly nice, adding a friendly vibe to the place. Their attention to detail and commitment to providing a top notch experience is evident in every aspect of the pub. The kitchen is not open yet but I hear that they are planning on opening it. I highly recommend the half moon to anyone looking for an excellent night out. Thank you Natalie, Manny and Tom for making our visit so memorable!

Under new ownership getting themselves up and running

Been meaning to add this review for a while. Had the most delicious, well cooked and enormous Sunday Roast here a few weeks ago. The beef was cooked to perfection and was enhanced by the huge range of gorgeous fresh vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and gravy. It was all piping hot and served by such attentive, well mannered and great young man. We really can’t recommend this Sunday roast any more highly. It’s very good value for money and a very generous portion. Chef will also cater for dietary requirements and happily provided me with gluten free alternatives. Love this place and will be back on another Sunday very soon. Well done to all the staff at The Half Moon

Nice lad working behind the bar and the food was okay. But no real ale and the only coffee available after lunch was instant.

Very good value, a nice pub, very welcoming. Excellent food.

Great food. Absolute value for money Warm atmosphere, superb service and friendly and helpful staff. We had a wonderful experience.

Awesome Sunday Roast. One of the best around.

Follow Mr & Mrs R on TikTok. When you see the sign that reads “Big Sunday Roasts” You better believe it, they are big and there’s plenty of vegetables (cooked to perfection) and what’s more the staff are very friendly and the beer tastes great!

Excellent food, good service and friendly staff.

Stopped here for quick grab on my journey and found nice little gem. Very cosy pub with amazing outdoor seating options. Friendly staff (Ethan), who recommended pork belly bites starter, which was absolutely amazing. £8 for starter and £3 for half pint of cider.

Popped in for lunch - great food. Prompt service with friendly staff. It was a pity that it was nearly empty Please use this pub!!!!!!

Amazing food home cooked friendly staff

Haven't had the pleasure of eating there yet however I was impressed by my overall experience. I stopped by for a couple of drinks at the weekend and served by a very polite/helpful lady. Before I even had a chance to take my glasses back she was at my table and kindly took them for me. The choice of drinks is impressive. The garden is the perfect place to sit in the summer and the pub itself is in a peaceful location.

Eight of us met here for lunch on my birthday. Very welcoming, nice food, nothing was too much trouble and we all had a great time. Will definitely be going back.

Popped in on our way home on a whim. The food was amazing and the land lady was so nice and helpful. Have never been their before but will definitely go back. Thanks again.

Huge delicious roast chicken and beef with all the trimmings and gluten free no problem! Great place to come, highly recommended

Lovely small homely country pub good thank you 😊

We were given a table next to a window that had several dead flies on it I moved table as found ot vety off putting

Our first visit for Sunday lunch having avoided dining there under the old management. Very pleasantly surprised. Ample portions of classic roast beef and all accompanyments. Happy to dine here again.

Easy parking - great Duke box & they serve food until 8 most days- check 1st

Just had a very pleasant meal, with very helpful and attentive staff. We will be be back and recommend anyone to give it a try.

Visited with friends Food and service was spot on

Had a lovely Sunday lunxh today, 04/06/2023, with my partner, and dog. Pork and beef roast, which was huge, great value for money. Front of House could not be more accommodating, even looking after our dog. Very clean restaurant, lovely bar area and gardens. Couldn't ask for much more after a glorious walk. Can't recommend this place enough, especially the food. What a treat! Well done The Half Moon.

Amazing food, lovely host, great friendly pub,clean facilities would recommend a stop off here

Me and a friend stopped here and ordered 2 pints of Coke and the lady was opening a bottle of Coke from the shop that cost about £2 so I would have paid something like £8 no way I was going to pay for that 🙃

We went on a Sunday to the half moon. It was taken over a year ago and the new landlady was very friendly and welcoming. The food was very good - my MIL said the salmon salad was one of the tastiest she has had because it had so much variety. Roast portions were very generous. The restaurant area is good, but we went through the bar area and it let it down a bit as it smelt like smoking (nobody was smoking in there, not sure of the source).

Proper home made roast dinner like your mother might have made, good home cooked roast dinner. And a nice little touch of some Easter eggs on out table at Easter time. Will be goi g back, highly recommend

Lovely hospitality and a cracking mushroom soup. A welcoming fire on a damp day made it very comfortable.

Great food and service. Value for money. We would highly recommend the sharing platter of olives, humous, red peppers, and ciabatta bread. Main meal portions were enormous (no room for dessert) and extremely tasty. We thoroughly enjoyed the music, which created a brilliant atmosphere.

The pub is under new ownership and are clearly making an effort to improve the image and reputation of the pub. The Sunday roast was fantastic and I loved that there was a pool table and old-school space Invaders/pacman arcade game in the main pub. Worth a visit.

Nice and quiet place with friendly staff and fantastic good proper food

Felt like I was in an episode of Shameless, with kids running around and the amount of the F word that was being shouted around the bar.

Fantastic Sunday lunch here and lovely staff !

Food was delicious and good value for money

Really enjoyed lunch here, good location and service. Nice outside area for kids and very friendly landlady.

We found this pub on route and decided on lunch. We enjoyed omelettes and baguettes very much indeed. The staff are friendly and helpful and the beer is good. What more could anyone want on a sunny afternoon

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and good food

Good food Waited ages for the food to come out No ice for drinks Garden benches very wobbly and unsteady

Nice old fashioned pub with lovely service. Looked after my frail father whilst we went on a pub walk through the woods. Good selection of drinks.

I've stopped here several times, had half a 1664 today, £2.95! I understand pubs need to make up for lost time but even a very nice restaurant near me doesn't charge that much.

Friendly pub. Only had a drink, so don't know about the food. Nice garden.

Welcoming pub with amazing food and a great atmosphere

Great pub. Made us feel very welcom

Lovely pub and restaurant.we stumbled on it by chance whilst on oir travels and only stayed for a drink. Staff we friendly and helpful, clear social distancing, a nice little space outside, service was good and the food smelt amazing and ladies they even have a small stock of emergency sanitary stuff in the loo 💖💖

Very good food, the waitress handled a rowdy group with kids very well and still gave us a fast service, all things considered. Nice job!

Lovely staff and reasonably priced drinks

Daughter in law 30th,absolutely brilliant. Food was great the staff are lovely. Will definatley be Going for a sunday carvery. Rosemary and Paul you did my daughter in law proud. Thank you x

Really friendly. We arrived a little late and the staff gave us a wonderful roast beef dinner with fresh vegetables and really tasty gravy.

When it does come to food, everyone has a individual pallet of course. But this December, on our way to Devon, we have had at last enough time to stop and pop in for a Sunday Roast. We have been very early at all and the staff did just about start to bring the carvery on. We have had pork and beef and I must say we encountered a raost that was absolutely delicious. Enormous qantities of brilliant prepared veggies were also on offer and suitable for a vegetarian. The beef was succulent and tender and very beautiful. The staff was very kind, warmingly welcome and informative about their preparations of the food. Thanks to all, we try to spend our next break at your place again. VERY recommandable.

Had a lovely traditional sunday roast. The food was lovely, the staff so friendly and welcoming. Really enjoyable experience. It was our first time at the Half Moon and would recommend it. Value for money too.

Friendly people. Great place to sit down and have a pint.

Having just driven through Midhurst, a really beautiful country village, after turning right onto the A272 at the roundabout to head for Petersfield, just a short distance up the road we spotted the Half Moon Pub, as it was lunch time we decided to pop in for lunch, it was superb, the staff were great, as was the service, they had a nice selection of beers, and we thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday Lunch of roast beef, it also been recently refurbished to a high specification, there is seating outside, and also plenty of parking space.

Proper old school pub nice pint

A mixed visit. The beer was good and the starter of king prawns was nice. However the very very expensive Cornish haddock was very very small and looked and tasted like a frozen cod from the supermarket. Will not return.

Staff interacted well with customers. Clean toilets. Food good

There was 50 of use and we had a lovely breakfast. Thank you

Nice country pub with friendly staff, decent sized carpark and very welcoming to visitors to the national park.

Have eaten here many times always good Sunday roast especially good nice garden and large patio Great for groups ie walkers large groups breakfast by arrangement dog friendly all good

Absolutely atrocious. Preordered 5 nut roasts at Christmas, they served supermarket own frozen ‘nut cutlets’ and charged £10 each meal. THere was no vegetarian gravy available, the chef ‘forgot’ to get some. The vegetables were so over cooked and mushy they wouldn’t even stay on your fork. The landlord hid in the back room because he didn’t want to manage the situation and left the elderly dinner lady to take any complaints. Charged my elderly grandmother £50 for these sad excuses for a meal, which they had plenty of time to prepare for. The environment was not clean, the light in the bathroom was intermittent and you couldn’t see properly. Just awful from start to finish.

Nice friendly pub. Lovely home made food and very clean toilets and facilities

Had a nice Sunday roast dinner apart for the veg was cold the staff were very helpful and kind helping me with a disable lady .

Food is great staff are lovely and really reasonable prices great atmosphere and made to feel welcome. Kids welcome too.

Popped in2 this little country pub 2day. We descended on the locals, they didn't know how 2 react/accept us. But as 2 gay men, let loose on the juke box, we made a good impression. Definitely will go again! The Landlord appeared larger than life & very much up for our banter. Definitely a port of call en-route to the gay pleasures of Brighton!

We had a lovely carvery here yesterday, all of the 3 joints of meat were tender! Now you don't often get that at a carvery. Well done chef

We have always liked this little gem on the A272 at Midhurst, we don't have the time to stop as often as we would like.

Cosy local pub. Very friendly with well cooked traditional food. Try it!

Lovely little pub, excellent food, very welcoming staff.

Descent grub carvery quiet calm

Traditional country pub, rotating open fire in the winter, very welcoming.

What a great sunday lunch we had. Will be back soon for another

Very slow service, hardly any staff.

Quality live music on Saturdays

Stopped off, after pumpkin picking, for some food and came across the most w**k food menu of our lives. Chips were clearly from Iceland the beef for my burger was killed last year and the mayo was off. Chavy children running around annoying us as well as a very rude landlord. Never again

Friendly patron, reasonable prices.

Staff fun and chatty. Lovely little village pub.

Food was okay, small nice little pub

Horrible atmosphere, no one really welcomed us! The place was cold and the waitress was rude and not just to us! As for the food, the only choices were beef or pork so we both went for beef, went it arrived, all of it was cold the beef was chewy and my gravy had massive lumps in it. Quite obvious that no one really cared. Yorkshire pubs were aunt Bessie's not homemade! We didn't get asked for sauces so I asked the waitress if I could have some apple sauce (as I hate horseradish) and she looked down her nose at me and rudely went "what with beef!!" Me and my partner couldn't believe she just said that! The most busiest day for pubs is a Sunday and there was just one other couple in there, which doesn't surprise me! Even they complained because she got served a cold coffee, the lady took it back and the same rude waitress told her she should have asked for hot milk! How about a simple hot coffee! Ropiest pub we've been too. And would tell everyone to avoid! Not even worthy of one star!

It's ok going through different owner's beer good and can play pool and darts and a couple of fruit machines

A poor looking exterior masks a very nice pub restaurant. The food was lovely and there was plenty of it and was timely served. The only slight down was that it was quiet but, as we understood it, the restaurant has recently been taken under new management. Would definitely recommend.

Biker friendly, good parking, always pleasant. Not open on Mondays.

Disgusting the glasses were dirty I had lasagne it was burnt on the top dry in the middle will never visit this place again which is a shame as I've eaten there before hand and had a few tasty meals they really need to pull it together there and I didn't appreciate kids behind the bar being spoke to impolitely don't even know how it got to 3 stars

The only good thing about this pub is the clean toilets. when my wife and I visited this pub we had just arrived from Somerset and in need of food. we sat down at the table and waited for a menu to arrive after fifteen minuets one was provided from which we ordered steak and ail pie after one and a half hours it arrived, are good we thought some food! only to find that it was so awful we could not eat it, it was tough and tasteless the vegetables were equally as bad. during our time in this pub other people who had been waiting equally as long as we had started to leave, one couple had waited over an hour for a ploughman's they left having given up that it would ever arrive. not a good experience don't bother to go there drive past and do not look back.

Popped on here with the family after a day out in Petworth. What a great find. Food and atmosphere was great. Food excellent value and freshly cooked.

Not a good pub drive past and visit the town pubs
