The Richmond in Chichester

Proper pub with decent prices. Searing by canal was perfect!

First time there. Good size Pub wasn't too busy, so easy to find a chair and have a conversation with friends. Will go again.

Nice local friendly pub Dogs welcome

Looks like a nice and popular pub, great position next to the Chichester canal basin.

Locals pub. Football, great selection. Good deals on drinks. Pool table. Would visit again.

Good place to watch the TV for sport. No food.

Best pub in the area - you simply can’t beat it. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, wouldn't go anywhere else!

Expensive for somethiing that resembles a working mans club9

Found it clique. Shame good view.

Nice outside area. Sun's out, Dj playing house music, created a good vibe!

Beautiful place lovely staff with cool beers I recommend it to everyone 🙋🏻‍♀️

Been to The Richmond in chichester today and had an great time. They had a band for the bank holiday. It was a great atmosphere and the staff were friendly. Great little pub in the outskirts next to the canel.

Lovely pub, the newly decorated rooms make it lovely and cosy. Oli is always welcoming and incredibly chatty. Me and my husband love coming and sitting by the fire in the winter and thoroughly enjoy sitting by the canal in the summer. Best pub in town with the best location for summer evenings.

Really good food and friendly staff

Have been going to this pub for years, it has been Pub #1 on my Chichester pub crawl for the past decade before I moved away. Recently re-visited as I was in the area and it's kept its charm. Welcoming and busy, it's a great pub. I paid over £10 for two bottles of cider however, which I think is a bit much, I think around £4 each is the correct price in this current climate, especially at a time when pubs are wanting people to come, stay and drink multiple drinks. The placement of the pub is another highlight however, with a view of the canal and access to some lovely walks. On the other hand, I would advise this pub to become dog friendly. As it is situated so close to the canal walk, dog walkers ending a stroll along the canal would be a good new customer clientele for this pub.

The bar staff are some of the friendliest I have ever come across!!

Pricey red wine @ £8 per 175ml glass. Some patrons swearing at pub in conversation with bartender (as a norm it seemed). The view of canal basin and sofa at fir place made up for the crass clientelle. Outside entranxe needs a spruce and clean up...even though its winter!!

Great little pub full of locals having a good drink and shooting pool. Friendly staff. Been here before when it was much bigger in side. It's 2 minutes from the station 🚉 so you can come by and wait for your train 🚉 Or have a drink after your boat 🛥 trip along the canal.

Lovely barman called Ollie , perfect pint. Sat out the back in the sun. Great view of the canal.

Awesome location by the canal with lots of outside seating.

Can't fault the location at the end of Chichester canal, perfect for after a SUP/kayak session and I will be returning because of this. However there are some things I'd recommend they improve on regarding the mens toilets: Create an hour rota to check the state of them (I was there for a good couple of hours yesterday evening and empty bottles and tissues around the sinks were not cleared away). Check toilet paper (one was empty the whole time). Fix soap dispenser on wall or remove the fixing. Put some posters in the empty frames above the urinals. Clean the black crud on the floor tiles and just generally give them a deep clean. One of those timed air fresheners put on the wall might be a good idea as well, along with some new signs on the front of all the toilets.

Friendly place, lovely views of the canal.

Lovely friendly staff ideal location for canal, trains and buses.

Pity the ice machine had broken down on some of warmest days in September. Pleasant staff, nice outside seating next to canal.

Does not look much from the front but the outside terrace is idillic given its so close to a busy road out front. True to itself inside and with a lovely setting on the canal basin out back it's a hidden treasure

Visiting Chichester, wandered down to tthe canal basin. It was overcast lookingn to rain so popped into The Richmond for a drink. Definately not a tourist pub, mainly Royal Mail workers from across the road. Friendly but rather drab inside which is a shame as the location with outdoor seating overlooking the canal basin is great.

Nice pint if a little expensive.!!!

Very close to canal . Relaxed environment. With walks along canal all the way to chichester marina .

Nice place to go for a quick drink while you wait for the Queue at Nando's across the road to disappear. Friendly and clean. Well organised.

No food being served!! Just lovely drink

Good selection of beer's. Friendly staff and a good gathering of interesting people to talk to. Lovely to sit outside on a sunny afternoon.

Friendly staff, but no food available at all

Nothing to look at inside or out. Popped in for a drink yesterday while waiting for the bus. Patio in the front which catches the sun in the afternoon. Patio at the back overlooking the canal which is nice. The gardens could do with pot plant and hanging baskets to brighten them up.

Great atmosphere. Staff doing a great job to maintain social distancing.

awful decor, a tense atmosphere, drinks taste off. Not sure why they dont update the pub as its such a good location, much nicer pubs nearby.

I really like this pub, nice atmosphere and lovely staff. We initially stopped here to look over the canal but it started raining so we came inside and sat by the amazing fireplace. Wasn’t too busy and plenty of comfy seating and the drinks were reasonably priced. Would definitely come here again :)

Nearest boozer to Cineworld. Somewhere to get a drink before the film starts.

Good pub great landlord we need to support these kind of pubs or Chichester will have very little go offer to the people who live hear, great job Ollie.

Expensive disjointed pub with rude staff and a pool room with no music and a stagnant hostile atmosphere!

Everything you could want from a decent pub. Friendly staff pool table and decent outside drinking area

Chichester Canal Basin is a hidden gem where you can watch the wildlife and enjoy the sun, The Richmond is a good looking building from the outside but that's as good as it gets. The inside is scruffy, noisy and not at all welcoming. If you want a pint, football on the telly, a game of pool and a noisy backdrop then this is the place for you, otherwise steer clear.

We like it for a beer next to the canel, really lovely to sit and enjoy cold beer with great view...

A MASSIVE thank you to Ollie and his fantastic team for making my daughter's wedding reception wonderful! We booked the "Snug" for the do. We were made to feel so welcome, even when setting up the night before..nothing was to much trouble! Thank you to the wonderful bar lady for her outstanding service. Apart from the amazing views you get of the Canal, I cannot recommend this venue for any occassion enough...you will not be dissapointed! Thanks again guys x

The pub has a short bar, but not helped by having three overweight men taking over the bar playing cards. While I appreciate it was two grandfathers looking after their mentally handicapped grandson, couldn't they move to one of the tables to play cards? Also while the mentally handicapped grandson had the good grace to smoke his rollies outside, one of the grandfathers insisted on puffing away on a vape at the bar.

What an awful pub this place is. Popped in for a drink before the cinema - the pub is dated & very tatty. Extremely cold, open fire not lit. Mould all over windows & on ceiling. Had a glass of very sour wine & a pint of Guinness.....£11.95!!!! Never paid so much for a drink in a chichester. Place unwelcoming & unfriendly. Definitely never going again & would definitely not recommend. Shame on the landlord.

Perfect for soaking up the sun either by the canal or on the patio area. Fantastic to listen to live music on a Saturday evening! Ollie and his staff are brilliant and so welcoming...a must!

Sweet location, large patio, live music (rock), pool, tents, great for sunbathing and right next to the channel. Shame they don't serve food.

Looks a bit shabby but has live music on Mondays. An eclectic clientele but very friendly and welcoming

Having been to The Foundry which wanted to charge 40p for a card payment we went to The Richmond. Only had the one drink while waiting for the train, but card payment was fine, drinks were good and the view over the canal was lovely

A wonderful afternoon watching the world go by with a bottle of sparkles on the canal side. Watched the canal boats go out sitting under the trees in the shade enjoying the tranquillity of the afternoon.
