The Park Tavern in Chichester

A Pint at The Park Tavern: A Delightful Experience! 🍻 The Park Tavern in Chichester is a gem! From the cozy, rustic decor to the friendly staff, it’s the perfect spot to unwind. Their beer selection is fantastic, with something for every taste. I loved the house ale – smooth and refreshing. The sense of community here is wonderful. Locals are friendly, and the staff are always ready with great recommendations. The pub grub is delicious too; the fish and chips are a must-try! In short, The Park Tavern offers more than just a drink – it’s an experience. Don’t miss out!

Attended weekly quiz. Well managed interactive quiz. Friends had food which looked good. Brilliant and friendly atmosphere.

Park Tavern is a Chichester destination pub. The quintessential classic English boozer if you will. Good beers and good food. Decent selection on the menu, not your typical pub muck, this has an actual person cooking rather than reheating frozen foods from Bookers. The quiz is one of the better ones in town and there is always a vibe in this place. Keep an eye out for dogs too.

Fairly regular repeat customers for a while, mostly just for their lovely Fish and Chips. Which has nearly always been fantastic. The acoustics are terrible and increasingly we've found it harder and harder to talk when eating. It's a real shame.

A quick couple of beers whilst visiting Chichester. A lovely Fullers pub in a quieter bit of the town, next to the local cricket . Thank you.

Only had drinks. Had live music Sunday afternoon. Dog friendly and had a nice crowd in there.

Still an excellent pub. We again enjoyed a very good lunch with presentation, flavours and quality of the food all being high. The friendliness and professionalism of the service was exceptional and the ambience is very pleasing. We have been before and we will return.

Went here for Sunday lunch, they were able to accommodate a large group of us. The food was really good and an average price, big portions so you get what you are paying for.

Had lunch here and was very disappointed. The fish pie consisted of 3 king prawns, piece of cod about size of 50p , and a large quantity of mussels (which are molluscs) - all very tasteless. Where were the types of fish that should be in a fish pie? Also, half a lager shandy was ordered; the barman obviously didn't understand the request, even though it was repeated three times, as the drink arrived in a full pint glass.

A good, traditional English pub.👍

Good fish and chips, but very loud in there. Difficult to hear what the person next to you is saying

Este pub sirve comidas de pub de alta calidad de manera eficiente y sin problemas. Tuve un cebo blanco perfecto para empezar - suave por dentro, crujiente por fuera. Luego, estofado de carne de res y chorizo cocido lentamente con puré y guisantes. La carne estaba tierna, la salsa espesa y sabrosa. Había suficiente chorizo en el guiso, suficiente para mejorar el sabor sin abrumar. Todo el personal era discreto, amable y eficiente.

Pub dog friendly con una buena selección de cervezas. Desafortunadamente para mí conducía tan solo un refresco. Mi esposa tenía el pescado con patatas fritas Yo tenía el sándwich de dedos de pescado ambas comidas eran excelentes y buena relación calidad-precio el personal era excelente y sin duda recomendaría y la próxima vez que visitemos Chichester volveremos a comer allí de nuevo.

Primera vez que visito este pub 6 adultos 2 infantes. . Encantador pub agradable gran ambiente. Todos cenamos asados, eran absolutamente encantadores. Buena comida... Tenían un cantante allí al final de la tarde. Sin duda recomendaría.

What a difference from the pub round the corner. Beer was good ( I’m from up North so it was nice to see a head) Food was fabulous and the staff greeted us like we were locals and despite being quite busy they had time for small talk. I’m no likely to be down this way again so all I can do is encourage you to visit. Proper Pub, real people.

Always a warm friendly welcome, a great selection of beers, and the Friday night steak and wine deal is the best!

This great pub has us wanting to return. We have dined in there a few times and the food never disappoints. Really good atmosphere and is always buzzing with people of all ages. The thing that makes it stand out from many others, is the friendly warm and kind staff . every one of their staff makes you feel welcome and valued. Thankyou Park Tavern for another enjoyable evening.

FFS! Closed before 9:30pm on Sunday 25th August, before Bank Holiday Monday. Obviously no challenges in the hospitality sector in Chichester. Seemed like a nice pub at 7pm though short on staff.

Good selection of specials and standard meals. The haddock kedgeree with king prawns and a soft boiled egg was sublime.

Fantastic food at very affordable prices.

Lovely pub. Food was fab, and the staff charming. Stopped for supper after a very long walk on the South Downs.

I went to Chichester and In the park tavern and had mackerel and prawn kedgeree I thought it was absolutely delicious marvellous beautiful anyone who wishes to go to a local should try this establishment out and you won't be the slightest disappointed poppy served and excellent service and the right arm of attentiveness

Excellent food, zeer vriendelijke en professionele bediening. We namen met twee, 4 voorgerechten als lunch: alles zag er super goed uit, (en versierd met eetbaar bloemetje) en was bijzonder lekker. Onze favoriet was de gerookte kip salade.

Popped in on off chance they had a table and fitted us in and service and staff were so nice and welcoming

Another proper pub in Chichester, great selection of beer.

This pub is a little gem!! We ate in here both nights we were in Chichester because it was so good! The staff are very friendly and the pub gets very busy and lively around 7 pm onwards. Evening food is served from 6pm and is very good and reasonable prices. The first night, we all tried the monkfish curry, which was great. The sticky toffee pudding was huge! Plus, they make their own ice cream, including bacon flavour!!!!! We saw the fish and chips being served to others, and it looked so good that we decided to come back the second night. It was really worth it! The fish was huge! It was in a beautiful light batter, and tasted very fresh! It was served with wedge chips and what seemed to be homemade tartar sauce and mushy peas. Very yummy! I'd definitely go there again and again!!

One of the last proper pubs Chichester, great atmosphere and a decent range of beers.

Nice old pub near park . Great food and staff attentive. There is plenty of beer selection and good choices for sunday lunch. Will visit again soon as a nice atmosphere in here ,

We had a family get together here there were 8 of us. The service was great staff so welcoming and friendly. Food served piping hot and all together and was delicious. We highly recommend this tavern

Only stopped for a couple of drinks and must say a very pleasant pub. We didn't eat but the food looked lovely. Only downside, no garden.

Lovely local pub with good food and good beer.

Great pub for meeting up with friends & having lunch. Excellent service & friendly staff.

Excellent pub with great service and even better ale.

Friendly atmosphere, great drink and cozy environment. I look forward to another visit when I return to Chichester. Cheers y'all 🍻 🥃

Lovely friendly traditional pub, not many of those left! Food was good we did 2 for 1 fish and chips !

Excellent Gluten free fisn and chips. The best I've had. Thank you. Great service too.

Good fish and chips, nice and cozy place

Pretty tasty, tho portions were a bit light, very nice staff, good for lunch in a pleasant, clean, well thought out old fashioned pub, if a little busy as far as table layout goes. Lots of locals eating there regularly so best book to avoid disappointment. Fish batter was not the best ever, & a promised replacement bread roll that was dropped en route to the table never arrived, but will go back to give it another go.

A real pub, lots of character, but a real locala reputation for good food, but without the corporate brewary image. The Park Tavern nserves some excellent, and much appreciated wine (vioginer), and superb condition draught beers. All this with a comfortable, but not overblown bar room. Our meals were, quite simply, great - no big fuss, just excellent food, well served, and it made for a brilliant evening,on a very wet Thursday night.

Great atmosphere good food at reasonable prices. HSB really good.

I found my experience quite pleasent as staff were easy on the eye and the food was exquisite. However you could call middle class rigf raff or just mere pompous ignoramus conceited sub species who inhabit the establishment they didn't sspoil my day but they were ever so slightly grating on the earhole with their inexplicably annoying Chichester tone. Put it in laymen's pish pricks without a real inkling of the world outside their comfort zone. Hahahaha 🤣 e

On first visit to Chichester discovered this lovely traditional pub - welcomed in, table found for us in a very busy lunchtime, the food was delicious and the fact all sourced within 12 miles, with this explained on the menu was impressive. We were so pleased we booked for dinner that evening. Again the pub was busy with a buzzing, welcoming atmosphere. The food was delicious, piping hot, fresh complimented by a lovely pinot noir. And reasonably priced which is makes a change these days! The staff were a young, enthusiastic team and Emily really looked after us. They were enjoying themselves and so was everyone else! Well done to all.

A very warm and welcoming place with charm and lots of character! Has a great vibe about it. Would definitely recommend 👌

Just went there for drinks before the theatre. Nice, friendly staff. Great selection of tequilas though!

Could do with the heating on or a fire very cold inside.was there for lunch with friends

Went here for pre-theatre dinner. Starters were okay, not great but came in reasonable amount of time. Then waited and waited for min course. Thought that our order might have been forgotten. Eventually asked where the mains were and told then told it would only "be a minute". When my food came our order had clearly been forgotten about as the pie I had ordered had clearly been in the oven about three times longer than it should have been - the pie was completely shrivelled up, pastry was like cardboard and the inside was completely dried out and over cooked. Hard to understand how a kitchen could send out this rubbish. Meal and special occasion spoiled - thanks very much Park Tavern.

Looking for a place to have a drink before heading to CFT. Came across The Park Tavern by accident. And what a pleasant accident it was!! Lovely staff and chilled atmosphere. Prefect!!

Fantastic food, great atmosphere

Had luch here with friends & enjoyed very good meal at reasonable price. Unfortunately none of us had room left for the puddings!

One of the best Pubs in Chichester since we have lived here for the last 10 months. Great staff and lovely vibe. Their quiz night is legendary - so popular that it takes ages to get a table for your team.

Great local pub, we regularly get the 241 fish and chips on Friday, nice staff but it can get busy.

Love this pub - great vibes, always very lively. The food was also great. Only giving 4/5 because as a wine drinker I don't love the wine list here but can't complain about anything else!excellent atmosphere and lovely staff.

Best Guinness in Chichester, staff are very friendly. Great food and a very chilled out atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone visiting Chichester.

The calamari starter was a bit small (the thinnest calamari I've ever seen) but the venison main was outrageously good.

A fantastic Fullers pub. Just great. We walked past at 10 to 12 before it opened one Saturday, though it looked nice, and returned at 10 past to find it almost full. Local old boys with their pints and newspapers, couples, families ... busy, friendly, warm, and welcoming. Interesting beers and ciders and a very good menu. I had fish finger sandwiches (which I have whenever I can and these were the best I'd ever had) and Mr W6Travellers had kedgeree; a rather unusual dish for a pub menu but it was delicious. Not expensive either. It's positioned just off the main shopping streets, opposite Priory Park with the beautiful Chichester Guildhall. Highly recommended.

Friendly, helpful staff - always a winner. The food was delicious and served piping hot, which is so rare these days, sadly. It was a bitterly cold Wednesday lunch time but we braved the temperature to visit this establishment as we were passing through on a journey. We usually eat there before the theatre. At around £15 each for the main course, it was good value for money and real comfort food!

Lovely 2-4-1 fish & chips and great beer.

We made a booking for a Sunday’s NYE roast and we had an amazing meal. Food was delicious and the portions very generously served. Very reasonable prices and a gluten free menu too! Highly recommended!

Great atmosphere with friendly staff, good food and beer, what more do you need?

Warm welcome, good service, relaxed atmosphere and great ‘real’ food. Glad we booked for first visit. Will return and recommend.

Excellent Christmas meal, very tasty. Service was fast and attentive. Decor inside and out was amazing. Will definitely return.

One of the few traditional pubs left in Chichester

On behalf of my husband who had his works Christmas lunch here this week - great food and service

Lovely atmosphere, great food and service even though they were extremely busy

What a great experience - Booked our works Christmas do here, and we couldn't have been looked after better. There were 21 of us. The food was great, superb atmosphere and the staff were wonderful. Well done all from everyone at Bognor Motors

Sunday roast is excellent with live music playing creates a great atmosphere.

I was looking for a place to have a meal and drinks with friends when I saw this pub at the end of a side road. Freshly decorated, it stood out and a quick peek through the window confirmed a great selection of beers, whilst the menu posted on the wall had some interesting choices, not the usual repetitive bought in pub food. Three women walking by as I was looking said that it was the best pub in Chichester. They were not wrong, it's simply one of the best pubs I've been in lately and not just in Chichester. The food was truly fabulous; I had the whitebait, home made kedgeree, and home made ice cream, all truly delicious. The ale selection included Fuller's, Gales HSB & Dark Star and the staff were delightful & helpful. I'd give this place 6 stars if it were possible, it was fantastic; simply the gold standard of how to exit a pandemic at the top of your game. Update - Yes, it is really still that good! Update 2 - I've just been back with the same people and this continues to impress in a big way. The food is a quantum leap in standard above any other pub but still great value and the service is simply sublime. There's very little out there to compete with this pub.

A quick drink following a nice meal locally in Chichester. Seems like a really nice pub and very friendly staff next time. I’m in the neighbourhood I’ll be sure to come back.

Only four stars as I didn't have the opportunity to try food, but I see enough to want to visit again please.

Came across this pub by accident but so glad we did. Fabulous pub. Lots of memrobilia to look at on the walls. Great atmosphere friends meeting for a drink at the end of a working week.Food excellent quality. Staff interested in their customers & are professional & courteous while being friendly. Great place. Would definitely go again.

Beautiful little find on a trip to Chichester, walked in off the street and managed to find us a table for a delicious Sunday lunch

My wife and I visited the Park Tavern today for lunch and were very impressed. A traditionally decorated pub with a good choice of beer and food. With a warm welcome from the young lady behind the bar I ordered the French onion soup and my wife had the roast beef/ sauerkraut sandwich, both of which were delicious and great value for money. We will definitely visit again. Highly recommended

Traditional pub with reasonably priced good food.

The food was good and reasonably priced but they added items to our bill that we hadn't had. They removed them without a problem. Make sure you check your bill properly.

Great selection of spirits, lovely atmosphere, nice staff, great location BEST FISH AND CHIPS IN THE AREA and 2 4 1 on Friday lunchtimes 💙

Friendly city centre pub with good selection of beers and wines.

A busy and friendly pub.The staff are helpful and attentive. The Park is just across the road and great for a walk after your meal.

A truly excellent boozer: great food; lovely building; great atmosphere; and most of all, the staff were excellent.

We popped in as the it was around the corner from the hotel we were staying in. Good beer, service and food.

Fabulous food and great service

Had a great salmon sandwich here, good selection of beers. A few outside tables overlooking the park. Friendly staff, would recommend stopping for refreshments.

Great food. Even were offered tasty burgers from a party...we had the pork belly. Excellent, tasty, and a shot of Calvados too...great value for money. Good atmosphere too.

Good old traditional pub opposite Priory Park. We have been here many times for the Friday night Fish and Chips 2 for 1 deal. Unbeatable value. The Park Tavern is always popular on Friday night so pre booking is advisable. A healthy portion of battered fish and chips with mushy peas and tartare sauce hits the spot every time. There is a good selection of beers at the bar. The atmosphere is buzzing and the staff could not be more friendly and helpful! Definitely a go to pub/restaurant. The Park Tavern also has a full and tasty menu as well!

Super delicious Sunday roast with amazing service, in a lovely surrounding. Highly recommend.

Great traditional pub. Good atmosphere.

Friendly, attentive and efficient bar staff. Great beer and the freshest sandwich I have ever had in a pub. We’re thinking of changing our plans for tomorrow just so that we can visit again.

Lovely friendly pub. Good ales and food

Great old school pub with buzzing atmosphere and friendly staff, nice way to relax after walking the Chichester Ship Canal and some shopping

Another old style pub very nice well worth a visit good selection of drinks staff very helpful it's probably got a lot of history as near the old wall around Chichester

Just stopped in for a quick beer. Lots of atmosphere and nice to get a London Pride.

Great pub just off the shopping streets of Chichester. Over looking Priory Park, the Park Tavern has a great location, great selection of ales and a great atmosphere. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Fellow patrons are friendly too. I recommend Butcombes Rare Bred and am planning to come back to try the Aperol Ice Cream! A great place to spend some time.

I'm so glad we stumbled on this pub as we were exploring Chichester. It has a lovely, homely and slightly quirky atmosphere for example, googly eyes on one pair of antlers on the wall. Service was good (the pub was half full when we visited. The man behind the bar took our order quickly and was friendly and helpful. The food took about half an hour to arrive but remember this is proper food being cooked to order. The menu is interesting and varied; definitely not your usual something-and-chips pub fare. Two of our party had cod loin with crab crushed potatoes and samphire with lobster sauce and the third had belly of pork with bacon mash and cabbage. It was all very delicious. If I was to be very picky, and I mean really, really picky, I thought the cod was slightly overcooked and the potatoes slightly over-peppered but you could really taste the crab and the whole meal came together well. There was an excellent selection of well-kept beers as well. If we were local this could quickly become a regular eating venue. If only we had pubs like this in Coventry.

Good beer. Good food. Reasonable prices.

Pretty good from what I remember after about 5 pints when I got there

We were looking for a dog friendly, reasonably priced place to eat in town. We found it. The food was delicious. Very busy but still good service. Highly recommend the fish and chips. Good selection of beers on tap. Will definitely be visiting again.

Lovely pub! Great atmosphere, amazing food in a brilliant location!

Recommended by one of our hotel staff members, we loved every minute at this pub. Issac was a wonderful person who made sure we felt welcome. The food was delicious. What a wonderful way to get to know people in the area. Thank you!

Great evening. Very tasty and good value fish & chips. Great service and dog friendly. What more could you want!

Great pub, that give you that proper pub vibe! Not loads of seating, but the pub isn't massive so can't really say that's their fault. I would add some big bench outside though and the little space in front is lovely to sit out and have a beer! All in all Bravo!

Best pint of HSB ever. Thanks Emily..xx Fantastic spot in the heart of a beautiful city. Of all the pubs which Chichester has the Park Tavern is up there with the best. Haven't tried the food for a while but have heard great reviews. Only a couple of places here I can find my favourite pint but the Park Tavern keeps it the best.
