Passed this pub many times and never stopped, but am so glad I did it’s a little gem, I have never met such a polite Landlord that could not do enough for us would highly recommend and the food was lovely and also super dog friendly.

Dropped in when passing on a Sunday afternoon after a long walk. Staff busy as restaurant was full but set up a table for us. Good selection of food, so much so ended up having a 3 course lunch. Staff friendly and food excellent.

Book a couple of days ahead for Sunday lunch and the three of us shown through to a nice relaxed spacious restaurant area. Great starters (mine was an excellent mushroom dish) followed by two roasts and one fish. £100 including four drinks. Better value and more enjoyable than three other rural pubs I've sampled around Chichester.

Cuando visité Chichester en tren, caminé por el canal y encontré el pub Spotted Cow en Hunston para almorzar. Qué hallazgo, fui bien atendido por Jasmine, la comida era excelente. En general, una experiencia hermosa y espero volver a visitar pronto.

Visitado para un almuerzo dominical improvisado. Recibimos una cálida bienvenida en la puerta y el servicio continuó siendo rápido y atento durante nuestra visita. El cerdo asado con los recortes era encantador, mientras que el cordero asado era un poco decepcionante. El "crumble de la semana" (Pera y bayas) fue de primera clase, una generosa ofrenda con muchas natillas. Las ofertas de asado del domingo son una buena relación calidad-precio. Volveremos pronto.

I have been here before for Sunday lunch and it has been outstanding. Sadly last Sunday it was not. It was certainly very busy which was good. Having had roast lamb and roast pork on previous occasions, I decided to try the roast beef. Big mistake. When my plate arrived instead of nice thin slices of beef, I was served with thick slices that looked more like steak and would have needed a steak knife to cut it. I took most of it home for my dog but before he ate it, I measured the thickness and it was 1cms thick! I always understood that pork should be cut no more than 1 cms thick, lamb 5mm and beef 3mm. It looked like it was from a nice joint but ruined by the carver. Please don't spoil your restaurants well deserved outstanding reputation by such a silly mistake.

Este es nuestro pub local y desde que cambió de manos a principios de 2024 hemos disfrutado mucho de visitarlo. La comida es preciosa, y hemos disfrutado de muchas buenas comidas y aperitivos. A menudo vamos a tomar una copa en un fin de semana, con o sin perros y encontramos el ambiente y el personal siempre encantador con un ambiente agradable y bebidas decentes. Un fantástico pub del pueblo que tenemos la suerte de tener cerca!

We have used the Spotted Cow a lot, and it can be hit and miss. We’ve had some lovely and also some below standard meals. I phoned to book a table for Sunday lunch to be told they were fully booked, however, a table was found for us! The restaurant wasn’t fully booked, but the wait time for the food was unacceptable. The actual meal was delicious, but we’d all got fed up waiting for it to be served as it took over an hour!

After several very pleasant visits to the sister restaurant The Bulls Head in Bosham, we decided to give this one a try as menu is the same. We met some friends on a Sunday lunchtime. Restaurant was busy. Sadly it transpired that they were seriously understaffed for the amount of customers resulting in quite long waits for drinks, placing your order, getting the bill etc. 3 of our party ordered the Sunday roast and 1 the seafood salad. Both the roast beef and lamb were a bit chewy and tasteless with bland veg and thin gravy. The potatoes were ok. The seafood salad was ok. Two of us had a glass of wine, but later when we both asked for another one but a small glass we were informed that they didn’t sell either of the wines we had selected previously by the small glass. We either had to size up or change wines. This seems inexcusable, such poor customer service for no reason. If you sell it by the glass what difference to the pub if it is big or small,you have opened the bottle ? All in all we won’t return.

We decided firstly to visit Chichester market and enjoy all the atmosphere and stalls, and for lunch we went on to the Spotted Cow at Hunstan. It's only a short hop from Chichester itself but my word it's well worth it. We had a marvellous welcome from the staff who are very pleasant and friendly, the beer was most appreciated, and the food was absolutely delicious. My fish was huge and not to crisp, and the chips were the best I've had for ages. Rosemary had a Chicken burger which came with cheese and bacon to, which sometimes you don't necessarily get automatically. Anyway the food was absolutely outstanding, and we would have no hesitation revisiting soon. Our sincere thanks to the Staff for making our visit very pleasant. From Ray,Rosemary, and our dog Susie Wednesday 21st @ 12noon.

Over 6 years ago since our last visit (we don't live locally) and management has changed so we weren't sure what to expect. We remembered it as a lovely country pub and it still is. Staff were very welcoming, We enjoyed a few drinks and then a meal. Lots of choice on the menu. Food was delicious, portions generous, fairly priced, good atmosphere and with excellent service.

Long story short, we decided to visit the area from Dorset as we'd never been to Chichester before, after a walk along the canal decided to stop here for Sunday lunch. We hadn't booked but were shown a free table. There we sat for 15 minutes until we stopped one of the girls for a couple of menu's, five minutes later we had to stop someone else to ask for a couple of drinks. Eventually we placed our food order probably 25 minutes after we initially arrived. I appreciate it was Sunday lunch time and it was busy (but didn't appear to be packed upon our arrival) and there were only a couple of staff (although a couple more did arrive). An hour after we arrived our meals came and can only be described as 'average'. I had sat and watched during this hour at other people arriving after us and recieving meals before us. It was truly a disappointing experience after we'd had high expectations following all the positive reviews posted. If we're ever in the area again would we go there again, no. As I said we appreciate it was Sunday lunchtime, which is a busy time for any good pub/restaurant, but at least offer menus and take a drinks order upon seating like just about everywhere else we've been too. Disappointing.

We haven’t been here for over a year and unfortunately the standard and quality aren’t the same. We ordered 3 Sunday roast beef which we’ve had many times the first thing was we had to wait 55 minutes for it to arrive to the table when it did the portions was much smaller and the lack of vegetables was so apparent the vegetables used to come in some side dishes no the measly amount for the price was what you would serve up a child 3 small heads of broccoli 1 small head of cauliflower and a teaspoon of peas and a carrot cut into small battens no swede mash either the meat itself was tough too and the cauliflower cheese @ £5.50 extra was small you used to be able to share it out. On a positive note the Manager and the waiting staff were very pleasant . Sad to say we won’t be returning we will go elsewhere and I wouldn’t recommend it anymore.

I was welcomed along with my dog and made to feel as important as a party of four on such a busy restaurant on a Sunday. The service was excellent and the food was outstanding and plentiful with a wide selection of vegetables. It was not expensive and I wasn't pressured in any way just because I was on my own. I would certainly recommend this restaurant and have every intention of dining there again very soon.

I had a lovely father's day lunch. Great portion size. Vegetables lovely. Very disappointed with desert however. Ordered creme brulee. No lovely crisp topping and arrived minus shortbread . When I queried this was told sorry we've run out. Wasn't informed beforehand and wasn't asked if I would like an alternative. Was offered ice cream which wasn't a good accompanyment to creme brulee and still required to pay full price. My husband's lunch was only warm. The only thing that was hot was the gravy. We did expect better. Disappointing as the lunch was specifically for him.

Lovely food normally...however we went in Sunday afternoon after asking if food was being served which it was booked a table and half the menu was sold out and the food we had was poor...game pie was hard and more like stewing steak roast was poorly presented and Yorkshire was hard and cold ... Perhaps it was because it was a Sunday but I feel roast should be a best bet on a Sunday so was very disappointed.... Will try again on a week day and hope it's back to it's best ....

went for lunch there was a party of six,table was booked for 1 o'clock, we started eating at 2 o'clock, rather a long wait for the meal, which when it Eventually turned up most of the meals where poorly cooked, my pudding was stone cold, I can understand that Sunday lunch time it was busy, but there should of been extra staff for the lunch period, I could go on but there's not much point, needless to say we won't be returning, my advice to any one if you have something else to do on a Sunday afternoon don't go to the spotted cow for lunch.

Came for Easter dinner. The food was lovely but the experience wasn’t. Firstly our booking was 20mins late, London Pride had limescale bits floating in it (clearly not been clean each day as it should be), 3 items on the menu our tables wanted were out of stock (waitress didn’t let us know when seating us), ordered starters but didn’t receive them, straight to mains (waitress or kitchen error). Communication didn’t seem good between the staff as multiple times different people asked us the same things. We planned to have desert but after poor experience we just wanted to go. They comped the table drinks when prompted. Too many covers to handle I presume. My parents heard good things about the food and that it’s been recently taken over. We will return on a less busy day once you’ve had more time to settle as like I said, the food was good!

Stopped for lunch on our way home from Selsey having previously noted signs saying that the pub was under new management & open seven days a week! We were made very welcome, told our server that we wished to have lunch & then were talked through the specials, pies of the day & told about menu choices where we could choose a smaller portion. This proved very welcome! My wife had the tomato & red pepper soup followed by ice cream & I had the French onion soup - the best one I've had in many years - followed by a small gammon steak with fried egg, chips & peas & coffee. We shall return!

Found this pub by chance when looking for somewhere to have a Sunday roast. It was one of the best pub roasts I have had in ages. I had the beef and there was no fat on it and it just melted in the mouth it was so tender. It is rare to find beef of that quality in a pub. Friends had chicken and pork and said they were equally as good. Vegetables were fresh and perfectly cooked. Service was excellent and the manager checked in numerous times to ask if everything was okay. Highly recommend for a Sunday roast.

Best three course Sunday dinner I have ever had in a pub . Food all home made roast beef was to die for . Plenty of fresh vegetables , gravy was gorgeous . I honestly can’t find anything bad to say about it . Seems to be family run , all staff were very friendly and we were made to feel very welcome . Since getting home We have even considered travelling the three hours just for a roast dinner . Will defiantly book a table next time we are that way .

Food was good but the service was disappointing from minute we stepped through the door. I ordered the roast Lamb from the Menu on the table to be told it wasn't on the Menu that day! When I pointed out it was on the Menu in front of me, one of the waitresses almost snatched the Menu off me telling me I was wrong. It turns out the wrong Menus had been put on all the tables. I ordered something else and the food arrived quickly and was good. 20 mins after we had finished eating the empty plates were still in front of us so we had to ask for them to be cleared. We were eventually offered a dessert menu and was rudely told we had 30 mins before our table was booked out again. There were quite a few tables around us empty. If the empty plates had been cleared away sooner there would have been no rush on dessert. Dessert was nice but I think I was given a child's portion of apple pie and ice cream as two mouthfuls and it was gone. A friend paid the bill as a treat (in my absence) and a 10% service charge had been automatically added. Afterwards we were told by a 3rd party you don't have to pay this charge but it was too late then. We were not going to leave a tip as we felt the service we received did not warrant one. It's a shame as the food was nice and we like the pub (we are locals) but the waiting staff need to be more softer/gentler in their approach. Will not be returning and will not be recommending to family and friends which is a shame as the food was good.

We held a wake for my brother at the spotted cow yesterday and I felt moved to comment on what a brilliant, sensitive, thoughtful and value for money experience it was for my whole family and the 80 or so guests that came. The communication with Carolyn Moore, the manager was always helpful, supportive, sensitive and we felt in really safe hands, for what we knew would be a big event for our family. The location, car park, garden, choice of food options, staff, cost and care for how as a bereaved family we might feel were all exemplary and I would without hesitation recommend the venue for any event. We were a large party so the pub was closed and we were not made to feel we had to fit into a space between busy lunch and evening times as we had in other pubs in the area. It was perfect. Our whole intention for the day was for it to be celebration of my brother’s life and a chance for family and friends to get together to toast him and share our memories. As a venue, the Spotted Cow allowed us to do this and more. We are so grateful to the whole team for accommodating us so warmly and sensitively. Thank you Jane

Called in for a meal, we were told they were fully booked but they could fit us in. There only appeared to be two ladies working and to be fair they were pretty busy but by now means full up. We ordered fish and chips as we thought this would be easy for the kitchen. I’m not kidding you it was awful, the fish had loads of bones and the batter was revolting, and as for the chips they were disgusting. They looked like they’d been cooked at lunchtime, allowed to go cold and then re cooked for the evening, they were dry and rubbery and a weird kind of black colour inside. I’m really not a complainer but this was just too much, so when I was asked how my meal was I just had to say it was inedible. The waitress apologised and said she would feedback to the chef, then the other lady came out and apologised explaining that they had an agency chef on and that the meals are usually very good, she took a fair amount off the bill so all was well. The place itself seemed very nice and the two busy ladies were very friendly and apologetic.

The pub is clearly going through a transition. The food is 1st class and I would suggest that the owner upgrades the Web site to make the place more attractive The pub is dog friendly however the website only mentions guide dogs A bit more exposure and this place would attract holiday makers and passing traffic Thank you

Really great food and incredibly friendly staff. Would had been five stars however the front of house staff either struggle with table numbers or have communication issues, wrong dishes were routinely being brought to our table feels a bit like organised chaos. However the staff are friendly and welcoming so definitely worth a visit.

I came here along with another couple and our children and the food was absolutely amazing. We all had a Sunday roast ( beef, pork and chicken) and it was the best food and roast dinner we’ve all ever had. Starters and pudding also was incredible. The chef is superb and a credit to the pub. Everyone was super accommodating and welcoming. Will be back in no time !

Delicious food and friendly service. Rang up to ask if dog friendly and staff were so lovely and saved a table for us. Very dog friendly which is just the pub we needed with our cocker spaniel and they even gave us some dog biscuits for him. The lasagne is absolutely delicious! Food overall was amazing. The desserts were also very yummy. Toilets were also extremely clean and the whole place is nicely decorated. Overall the pub is great and would recommend, We are on holiday and will be returning on Sunday for their roast.

What a wonderful afternoon. Came here with 4 friends twice in two days as the food was so good. The six of us agreed it was the best meal we had had out in a long long time and we all had something completely different....

A great location but sadly a very average experience.  We went on a Wednesday night during half term and the menu was limited with none of the daily specials actually available but still on the board.  I elected to go for the fish and chips and it was almost inedible, super dry and as if the fish had been reheated in an oven, the chips were terrible, dry and super crispy.  My daughters had the chicken dippers and the chips had LOADS of salt on them.  We were keen to stay for desserts but decided to skip it.  I understand they have/had a new chef in so perhaps he was coming upto speed.  Sadly I wouldn't return.

Fantastic ! New owner I believe, a lady called Cheryl ? First time anyone has ever spoken to me in this pub. Food was good before but it’s gone up a notch to excellent. Obviously you’ll get the odd moaner who doesn’t like change - just go in for yourself and find out - massive transformation
