The Old House at Home in Chichester

Group of walkers; we'd booked for 12.00; didn't arrive until 1.00; our fault. table had still been reserved; food was, as usual, excellent. Nothing appears too much trouble for staff. Nest time we'll walk a bit quicker or book table a bit later!

Had two evening meals in a row here while working nearby, lovely food & really friendly staff. Large choice of beers & wines tbh wish I had a pub like this near me. Highly recommended.

Great food excellent service make sure you book just in case, you don’t want to miss out on this. We popped in for coffee lunchtime and booked for the evening. Pint of Sussex Best 👍 I had the battered Haddock, mushy peas , tartare sauce, chips. Perfect! Then Apple and blackberry crumble with custard again perfect. Service impeccable, quick service attentive not intuitive and great value. This is how you should run a restaurant/pub. Very welcoming.

A lovely old pub in a cute village in a beautiful unspoilt part of the Sussex coastline. I have been a few times with my husband, following a nature walk by the sea. This is since I discovered Chidham by starting work in the area. I have always struggled a little with their menu. I have been vegetarian for a long time, but I also have an intolerance to cheese, so I am seeking out the usual vegan option. I have also previously asked about milk alternatives in coffee - they had none. This time, as previously, I decided to request the gammon/egg/chips (& peas) without the gammon. Last time, this was done with quite good grace, an extra egg but no price reduction - but everything was cheerful. This time, my husband possibly over-explained my nutritional requirements when ordering. He was met with an icy stare from the chef. My food came, an extra egg and some chips. No peas. My husband went in to try to get vinegar, was promised some would be brought out. None came. The plates were cleared without a word of asking how our meal had been. Clearly this pub doesn't want or need my business. They won't get it again.

Visited as a couple for Sunday lunch. The pub itself is just lovely - a proper old pub tastefully decorated. Ordered the nut roast and roast chicken. The portions were very generous. The food was very good -not outstanding - but very good and the service was excellent. The meal was served quickly and requests for extra gravy accommodated without fuss. A good pub lovely atmosphere. Enjoyed very much.

Oh dear. What a massive disappointment. The Old House has always been our go to pub for a reliably good meal, ultra friendly, professional staff and great atmosphere. Yesterday it failed on all three, I’m sad to say. Roast beef looked lovely, but was tough and chewy. Plaice arrive with pats of butter, but was virtually cold so the butter couldn’t melt! Uneven cooking made some parts under and some over. All very unsatisfactory. We’d ordered some olives to start, and after ten minutes asked if we could have them, and we’re abruptly told…they’ll be here when they’re ready… The staff were busy but seemed out of their depth. So far removed from the the chatty, sassy and efficient team we were used to. Last straw was our bill of £167 was plonked on the table with a request to move out within 5minutes to accommodate the next booking. A really poor show all round. I feel so sad for this previously wonderful pub. I hope it’s just a temporary blip.

We called in for a cup of coffee. When the first cup arrived, it was only around half full, asked if it could be topped up, and was told no, as it was made by the machine. The second cup arrived, a little more in the cup, but not a full cup, by any standards. When we tried our coffee, it was COLD. When we returned the cups of coffee to the bar, we were told, they would top them up with hot water. Coffee was weak as it was, so we declined. No offer of another cup being made.

Came here with friends for dinner and a catch up. Seated at our pre-booked table, wedged in a corner, with the neighbouring tables occupants almost sharing the same table! Ordered our starters and mains. It was only just after our mains had been served, that we noticed the table next to us had been given boards detailing the specials. When we asked the waitress why we hadn't been offered the specials, furthermore that we would have had some of the specials had we known, all we got was 'ah, never mind' and other meaningless statements. It was only on her fourth sentence she muttered the word sorry. That should have been the first thing out of her mouth! Suffice to say, our friends who had been before, said they would not return and neither will we. Rude, surly staff, with bad attitudes!

Tonight we were disappointed by The Old House at Home, after being customers for the past ten years. Firstly we were not offered the specials board, so thought there were not being served this evening, but I struggled to find anything I really wanted to eat from the main menu, and when the food came much was uninspiring and mediocre. When I saw that other tables had been offered the specials I asked why we had not, and it took three sentences before our server apologised. Eventually I was offered a chance to change my dish, but after we’d all be served and started our food: we all should have done so since the only person happy with his meal was the person who chose the steak. The scampi was a very small serving, the plate filled with limp salad and lots of chips. One of us chose the vegetarian curry which appeared to have been made with left-over vegetables, and he has been unwell this evening. After recommending the place over the years, we shan’t be returning, especially since there was not even a small token such as a coffee to apologise for their failure.

Warm friendly welcome and quality pub grub at its finest. It’s a shame our holiday is coming to an end otherwise we would definitely be back!

Visited Sept 23 lovely pub in a rural location good selection of beers and wines and friendly polite service, ordered the roast beef dinner at £17.95 each, the food arrived hot and nicely presented, unfortunately we were both totally underwhelmed by the portion size two very small slices of beef a third of it was fat, two roast potatoes under done, Yorkshire pudding and a small seperate plate of vegatables to share consisting of a few carrots, small portion of cabbage, cauliflower, and two slices of leek, this is probably the poorest roast beef lunch I've ever had the misfortune to be served, I've paid a lot less at a local carvery and been served better food, if your thinking of visiting here please do but stay away from the roast beef lunch it's apauling

This is one of my favourite local pubs. It has the standard pub offerings and daily specials. It has a warm friendly atmosphere and the food is consistently good. Great selections of beer too. You can’t go wrong if you eat here.

Absolutely amazing food but this pub is hidden and I like that the staff are super friendly and the food is by far the best around thanks guys you are amazing

Out again at the Old House. Lovely place, typical old country pub. Great atmosphere, lovely staff & superb food (especially the chick, ham, leek pie).

We dropped into The Old House at Home for lunch to break a long journey. We were very pleasantly surprised by the friendliness and helpfulness of the bar staff since we arrived close to their lunch cut off time. We enjoyed an excellent meal each. My husband went for the home made pie, which, even for him, was far too much to get through. I loved my hot smoked salmon and prawn salad. Washed down with some real ale. The full menu had plenty of yummy choices. Husband had an ice cream after, which he thought was the best he had tasted in a while. We will definitely go back. Very good value for money and a team of ‘can do’ staff. Thank you.

Good home cooked food with a country feel ambience. Been many times and always enjoyed our lunch. Service is always very good indeed

We took 3 year old twins and a dog with us for Father’s Day dinner - 4 adults. No problem for the helpful staff who made us feel welcome and gave the fastest drinks service ever. I had a hot salmon, prawn & avocado salad...

Lovely spot for lunch. Friendly pub, wide range of real ale, and well cooked classics, like Fish and Chips, Burgers etc. Pub garden looked like a real sun-trap. Staff were friendly and efficient, even at the end of a busy service.

First visit for us and we immediately sensed its popularity. Unsurprising, as the staff were super-friendly and service first-rate. I'm salivating as I re-live the butter-soft lambs liver, accompanied by a rich meaty gravy, mash and peas - tastier than tasty! My son opted for...

We've just had a great lunch at this lovely pub which you reach by driving down an unpromising looking lane towards the sea. Great starters (of not miniscule portions) and then a delicious fish pie and the best ploughman's I've had in years. We got...

Gorgeous old rustic pub in the village of Chidham. Lovely sunny place in the summer and cosy and welcoming in winter. Some very tasty dishes on the menu and very efficient staff. This was our second visit to the pub and I’m sure they’ll be...

I'm amazed to see from my previous review that it's been almost eight years since we last visited The Old House at Home. We were treated to dinner by a friend and were very impressed. She had booked a table but others were sitting at...

Being one of the local pubs, it is by far one of the pubs we would choose to eat in West Sussex. It's beautifully located, dog friendly and the staff are lovely. It's the personal touches that make you want to return to it. The...

Interesting menu. We shared a portion of whitebait as a starter, it was good but would have been improved with the addition of brown bread and butter. My main was the avocado and smoked salmon salad. Again very good, but the dressing was added and...

Went for a meal last Monday . Always go when we go to East wittering for a holiday . Food was excellent - steak and Guinness pie ‘ - the best . My girlfriend had the seafood platter - she said it was yummy. !...

Been here a few times in the past for food and drink but this time today will be my last!! We ordered an open sandwich and chips, when it arrived it was a shadow of the previous food we’d had, one very thin slice of...

We booked at short notice and a lovely staff member moved other bookings around to fit us in. Then we messed up and went to the wrong pub (with the same name) so accidentally didn’t show up. Even when phoning to ask why we hadn’t turned up, SHE WAS STILL LOVELY! So great service, even though I didn’t set foot in the place. We’ll visit next time for sure (as I’ve heard the food is great too).

Being Dad’s birthday and the first time mum and dad have been to in over a year decided to bring them here. I have eaten at this lovely place many times before and the food is excellent and menu choice extensive. From the moment I booked the staff could not do enough, dad said it was the best steak and ale pie he had ever had. Alfresco dining still in place and we were blessed with the sun in the beautiful garden, thank you Old House at Home!

Took the opportunity to eat here while on a 5 mile walk in Chidham as it was on the route.The pub is not large but it has seating outside both at the front and the back for dining with the current restrictions. The seating at the front is right on the road but should not be too much of a problem with traffic as it is set back with a wall surround.There is a varied menu to choose from and many of the dishes we saw served looked very appetising. We had fish and chips which was excellent with nice big fat chunky chips.If you set up a tab then you have to hand over your credit/debit card which is held in a locked device until you need to pay. You hold the key for the device.Staff were very pleasant and friendly throughout.Well worth a stop if you are in the area.

Fabulous friendly little pub, beautiful location. very well organised covid 19 guidelines and measures in place. Food and service we're great highly recommend the sticky toffee pudding!! A lovely treat at the end of a refreshing coastal walk.

We were recommended by the Airbnb we stayed at and I can see why. The service was exceptional and the food was faultless. Hubby had steak and ale pie, never seen so much meat in a pie filling and I had the liver which was to die for. A great experience all round.

Well thought out sanitizing and anti covid measures. Great menu and we easily found lots of things we wanted to eat for lunch. Easy to pay at the table and food was really tasty.

We had Sunday lunch after a walk round the harbour. It was a very average pub roast. The beef was very thinly cut and slightly overcooked, the veggies slightly under, the gravy was thin and lacked flavour and the potatoes were dry and not crispy. Yorkshire pudding was good. Nothing worth complaining about but also nothing to get excited about. Rather disappointing.

Welcoming dog-friendly pub with friendly staff and good food. Felt very Covid-safe with staff wearing masks, hand sanitizer available and one-way system in operation.Lovely 5-mile walk around the point (staff member kindly printed off map for us). Back for an excellent Doombar and a reasonably priced meal. Will definitely return.

The starting point for a 2 hour circular walk around the spectacular Chidham peninsula in Chichester Harbour. A proper pub with friendly service, good food, dogs welcome and a great atmosphere. We had a wonderful day: thank you

Our family and our dog went for an evening meal. The pub atmosphere was chilled with friendly locals and staff. The food was good with a varied selection to choose from. Would definitely return and recommend to others!

Visited the Old House at Home today for lunch and had a superb meal, fresh quality food, first class service by friendly attentative staff, Covid precautions adhered to, hand sanitizer available and tables wiped down between customers. Would highly recommend.

Great Steak & Ale Pie and good chips. Generally a good menu. Really enjoyed the Plum Crumble & custard. Good Beer. Good Service

We both had the Sunday roasts 1x beef and 1x chicken Both really delicious! Yorkshire’s were great😋 Eaten here a few times before and never been disappointed. Great pub in great location, we’ll be back !

Absolutely wonderful food as always, fresh, tasty and I always want to come back! This place never fails to disappoint! Staff are always friendly and go above and beyond to look after their customers! I can’t wait to come back for another meal.See you soon and thank you again! X

We arrived on a busy, sunny Saturday. All of the outside areas were full which wasn't surprising. Hand sanitizer clearly displayed at the entrance and clear markings on where to stand. The bar has a full screen all along it and all staff were wearing a face covering. Menus were wipeable. Some of the tables could be a bit more spaced out indoors but it is a tricky building to do this. Staff wore face coverings each time they approached the table.Food is quite expensive but is very nice. We had the sandwiches and ploughmans.Probably best to book at weekends.This is a lovely old pub.

Enjoyed a delicious lunch in the garden, great service and lovely staff. Plus felt very safe as all COVID-19 measures in place. Recommend the moules marinieres, burgers& the med veg lasagne. This was our first visit and we’ll definitely be going back very soon!

We’ve been many times, the homemade pie is really good, first time we’ve had a roast today 23.08.20, for some time, booked a table at 15:00hrs. Excellent beer but the roast was appalling rock hard Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes kept warm from this morning and the beef was like the old birds eye roast beef. Felt I had to complain more because I wasn’t going to leave a tip, I wanted to let the waitress know why, as it was nothing to do with her. I asked to speak to the owner (Jane), she just wasn’t listening absolutely no contrition at all. She shouted and said you just don’t want to pay so just go, have it for free and go, very embarrassing. I think she is very stressed with the whole Covid thing, I feel for her.

So where do I start! The food was amazing however the staff when we walked in was awfully unfriendly we had a table booked for 2 and we were put next to the main door side by side which I don't know anyone who wants that when they go out to eat! Secondly the bar waitress staff were very unwelcoming and felt pushed aside! We eat out alot in the local area and this is the worst experinice eating out I've ever had and would never spend my money there again! I hope they improve I really do!

Had a lovely meal here on Tuesday . The food was lovely. Just one thing too give you a tip on, if you are going with seven or more people, make sure you get it confirmed properly. We were four adults and three children all from the same family, so in our bubble.. They didn't want to serve us and said I'd booked it wrong and the table was for six and they couldn't do it for seven. After a few words with a couple of people it was sorted out and we were able to sit close together. Although not on the same table. Luckily it didn't spoil the evening and we had a really nice time there.

On a short break in the area we visited twice, once just for a drink in the garden. Once for a meal.Visit 1 - lovely garden, great selection of beer, somewhat spoiled by stressy, unfriendly staff. Decided to give them the benefit of the doubt due to the incredible heat.Visit 2 - had lost our booking...no apology, apparently it was our fault. Eventually given a table inside despite asking to be outside where there was plenty of space. Food was over priced and very mediocre. Particularly the seafood platter, which had a tiny salad and was missing one of the four fish elements! Whitebait starter was undercooked, floppy and poor. The whole experience was rounded off by the loud mouthed, swearing, bigoted locals.Other local pubs we visited are doing so much better.

Excellent pub - very well organised with a lovely personal touch.We have used the pub mainly to eat at lunchtime for some years. We were delighted when they were able to reopen recently They have made excellent arrangements to ensure people feel safe. The food and drink is as good as ever. Some pubs are 'computer driven' and completely impersonal. This is the complete opposite and what a joy that is!!

Just arrived at the pub, knowing that it was going to be rammed, being a hot Saturday. Imagine our delight when, turning up after a long walk at 5 to 12, we found no queue and loads of seats inside and out. We had a seafood platter each and sat inside. Service was excellent as was the food. I think some people should give pubs a bit of slack before they weigh in with criticism. We didn't even expect to get a drink, let alone food.Toilets were extremely clean and all Covid measures were being implemented. We thought all the staff were extremely friendly and very reassuring.

We chose this as our first pub lunch post-lockdown, with visiting (if socially distanced) friends. And it turned out to be the right choice. We shall be back!The pub is in a charming old building in a wonderful location, with tables outside at the front, and a pleasant garden at the back. We had done a long walk along the footpath that runs along the beach around the scenic Chidham peninsular, and arrived hungry and thirsty.There was a short wait to get in, but only because management had evidently taken their Covid-19 precautions seriously, with a one-way system etc. It was good to see that there was still an impressive range of beers. The menu is not as extensive as it was before (at least, that was my perception), but enough on it that we all found something we wanted. And the food was very good.It is reassuring to know that they can still deliver that authentic country-pub experience, with a fine selection of drinks, and food that just hits the spot. Well recommended.

My three guests and myself all had a very good meal but as it was so hot on Friday my guests wanted to get outside to cool off.So After asking after waiting quite a while for the bill, paid it and left with out checking correctness only to find two pints extra charged, when getting home.Normally service is very Good but on this occasion it lacked any real substance.If I visit again I will be sure to check each item on the bill before paying.

Seafood platter and seafood tagliatelle were absolutely delicious. The garden is beautiful and the staff were so accommodating

Lovely meal with friends felt a real effort had been made to keep both staff and customers safe. Good menu choice with interesting vegetarian choices. Food was perfect, I choose the Morrocan lamb and Peach Melba. They are offering the discount for eating Mon to Wed in August. The only criticism was that I'd phoned and changed the time of our booking and it hadn't been noted but no problem to accommodate us.

We were recommended to try this pub and we have been twice recently .The first time we just had a drink ,but the second time we had a lunch .It is a fairly small pub situated in a narrow road but there is parking behind and along the road in front of the pub.There is a lovely garden and a few tables at the front .The food was very good and was served by friendly staff and the menu is varied. There is a good one way system at the moment meaning you have to walk through the pub after ordering and walk through the garden if you are sitting at the front of the pub.It is a quaint pub and well worth a visit .

Lovely garden and good food as always. Marred only by a stressy manager when we visited for an early evening meal - setting a rather grumpy tone with regard to the service from several of the staff. Maybe they are all finding covid measures a strain but having booked for four and a baby we were not made to feel especially welcome. Another pub we visited the day after on our little break was managing things rather better. We will wait a while and give them another try as it is a great country pub.

Post lockdown, one is never sure how pubs are going to be. The Old House seems to have it right. Hand sanitiser on entry, a sign asking one to wait outside if there is a queue at the bar. Once in you can order as usual at he bar (staff are behind a perspex screen). We ordered a falafel salad (vegan) and two Hampshire steak burgers. The salad was lovely and very fresh and generous, the steak burgers were heaven! Full of wonderful juices, cooked just to perfection, clean dry chips and a decent garnish as well. A very decent supper in his light, clean country pub.

This was my first visit. The food was very good and the waiting staff friendly. I was very pleased to see good Covid practice with staff wearing masks and social distancing measures in place.The car park was packed (Tuesday lunch) so had to park in the road, but that was no problem.Thoroughly recommend esp If able to eat in the garden on a sunny day.

We ate at lunchtime. I had the seafood platter which was really tasty - the potted crab and anchovies were particularly nice - with plenty of seafood. So much so that I asked for extra ciabatta. My wife had the Caesar salad which she enjoyed very much. We shared the pecan pie and ice cream pudding which was really good. The pub has worked hard to ensure covid measures are implemented and we felt very comfortable with the environment. And the garden really is lovely.There are brilliant walks from the pub with nice views of Bosham and lots of birdlife

Staff were really attentive and full consideration to making everyone feel comfortable in these strange times!! Highly recommend, the mushroom starter and the Rib eye Steak for main😋 We’ll be back;) Thank you

First meal out after lockdown - had to be here. Never fails to dish up delicious, fresh and generous portions of gorgeous food.

Nice pint of chidham best bitter and a steak pie with peas and chips. Barmaid was very friendly and certainly Covid briefed.

First time in since before lockdown, very impressed by the layout and social distancing and food just as nice as always , had a very enjoyable evening after being a bit apprehensive about what the atmosphere would be like now with the new guidance, well done

Met friends here, never been here before. Really country nice pub, good food and staff. easy parking. Atmosphere was buzzy, good ale and wine list too. Would recommend

This pub is still up to scratch and worth a visit. I have called in once a year for the past 30 years. Well run, attentive staff, food choice immense from 3 different menu's, food served very good indeed. Pricey which is normal for this area. Real ale was £4-55 a pint, also way over the average but normal for this part of the affluent south-coast. I visited the the pub for a meal on a Wednesday evening in Mach, having pre-booked, and at 7pm, the car-park was full. It is popular. Especially with the pension-pot spending over 65's. Pie & pint night on a Wednesday represents good value and it was a pleasant and filling meal. Bar staff are very affable and helpful. No obtrusive music in the background either. Recommended but pre-booking for a table to eat is always essential.

Beautiful country pub with charming staff and nice menu - two course lunch very reasonably priced . Slightly spoilt by a couple with a very badly behaved dog - or should I say bad mannered owners who decided to sit next to us.

This is a traditional English country pub down a narrow country lane. The food is fabulous done, daily specials at great prices.

Been going to there for over 20 years every couple of months. Arrived at the time specified as we had a dog asked for a table away from the main door. Got a table next to the door! Luckily? The place was nearly empty (unusual) so we changed tables. Food ordered I asked for the lamb told sold out so my partner and I had the pork. Food duly arrived quantity was huge however, quality had long since departed. The roast potatoes seemed to be the pre frozen variety and the pork was a uniform shape and size even the thickness of each slice was exactly the same! Veggies were good with a great mini selection. Yorkshire puds were burnt. Did not enjoy the pork and potatoes tasted processed. Dessert wise OK although the pots the custard came in have been consigned to the skip it seems. Just a large dollop in the bowl. Paid our bill £45. Just then local couple came in asked for the lamb and lo and behold lamb was available.Staff were on the whole more interested in talking to the local builders/fishermen/farmworkers than actually paying attention. One shining light was a more mature lady who could not have been more helpful. Blond barmaid it seems was there to mainly chat to the locals.A once great pub and eating place sliding into obscurity

Just had a lovely meal in this very welcoming pub , the steak was cooked to perfection and the bar staff make you feel very welcome including the landlord and landlady

Visited today for Sunday lunch at 12 pm and a good catch up with friends,had a lovely roast lunch and great service,We had coffee and asked for the bill payed up,and about five ministers later was asked to leave as the table was wanted for other diners and this was only 2.15 pm,So I guess the answer is —when meeting friends eat slowly and chat so you don’t get shoved out as soon as you have paid!! Very disappointing and our bill was £150 so not cheap,

Being not in the area where we live it's been a couple of years since we had lunch here and am glad to say it is as good a ever.Warm friendly greeting as we came in through the front door. Good selection of interesting dishes on the Specials Board. Quality food served at a sensible cost.

We have used the Old House at Home a number of times for Sunday lunches and are always very pleased with the food and service. The staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. This place is a proper country pub and nice to see it thriving.

Wonderful little country pub with lovely staff and atmosphere. The food was homemade and very good . Would recommend booking in advance as very popular. Car par at rear for few cars and parking on road in front .

A lovely pub, with a sunny garden. Nice comfortable bar and eating area. Excellent well keep beers and a Camra awarded pub, serving many great local beers.

We have been coming to this pub for lunches mainly, but occasional evenings as well, for a number of years. It is a great place with a good atmosphere and friendly staff, excellent food and good pub/ restaurant service.

Exactly one year since our last visit our review could be word for word the same. Opening at 10.30 one is welcomed into a very cosy bar area. Gales were blowing outside which meant that our annual pre lunch trek was abandoned.

Had lunch at this lovely cosy pub. Beautifully decorated for Christmas. All tables busy with 4 pre booked for Christmas celebrations. Good local food well cooked and served by a cheerful waitress. Dog friendly and with a sheltered garden at the back which would be lovely in the summer.

It is always a real pleasure to have lunch in this lovely place, the food is great and reasonably priced but above all, the staff are so friendly and helpful. Even if you have just one drink and a snack, they treat you so well. Our favourite place.

Have been several times this year at weekend lunchtimes and a couple of evenings.

Booked a Saturday lunch time meal Plenty of choice I had the meat pie wife had the scampi. Both meals brilliant. I also had whitebait starter also very nice. Have now booked a Christmas Meal so looking forward to that.

Following a local recommendation we visited for lunch without booking. It is quite remote so you wouldn’t stumble across it easily, but it is worth going off the beaten track. It has a lovely open fire and very welcoming staff. The standard menu has plenty to chose from but there was also 4 specials on the board. Plenty of fish but we opted for chicken which was very good. Nice garden area which must be great in the summer.

just got home from having lunch . first time we have eaten here. my partner and i had whitebait to start and then the home made pie which was steak and ale,all of which was absolutley delicious. the staff were lovely and made us feel very welcome.will definitely visit and eat here again

We went to the Old House at Home on Tuesday lunchtime after a walk around the Chidham Peninsular. The staff were so welcoming and friendly, the food was great, I had the Chicken & Mushroom Pie while my wife had Liver and Bacon. We will definitely return and would recommend it.
