The Traveller's Joy in Chichester

Fantastic Mussels and staff were great and made us feel welcome. Visited 22nd May.

Nice restaurant, friendly and helpful staff.

We’ve been here a few times with friends and had a pleasant afternoon/evening. Have to mention Joel who is fantastic. He’s professional but also ready to join in and have a laugh.

We ate at the travellers joy on friday and saturday. Quite a large group of us. The service from Joel and his team was second to none.. nothing was too much trouble. And the food was top notch. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. We will definately be making a return visit very soon. Lynn Milsom x

Brilliant afternoon great atmosphere great food great service ....thanks Joel 👍

Excellent pub. Friendly atmosphere. Great service.

Nice pub food and service good selection of ales

Luverly pub, with excellent beer & food, all served with a smile. 😁

I came in with my wife for a late sunday lunch. The front of house staff were amazing, the two young men really catered for us. The food was exceptional and the chef came to our table to check that all was ok. I asked for the chefs name and i think it was Kris. The whole experience was great. Will definitely eat there again.

Fantastic sunday lunch today. Food was hot, tasty and the staff are excellent going out of their way to change my order a bit. The tasty treats we bought were lovely too. Thankyou to everyone working there today to make such a lovely atmosphere.

Staying in the C&C site next door and booked online earlier for tonight. Quick confirmation of booking and an enjoyable meal. Lovely pub and great food.

In spite of horrendous traffic & hold ups due to an overturned load of cooking oil on the A27, which caused most staff to be massively held up we had a warm & friendly visit. They even gave us a complementary savoury nibbles tray, which was delicious.our main course were really lovely very tasty & well prepared & presented. We will be back

Had a fantastic meal staff great outdoor sitting are amazing great for families to chill 😎

Really good food, friendly staff. Gluten free selection. Would recommend this pub. I'm a celiac and they catered for my needs.

Had an excellent fresh crab salad with tasty new potatoes. Friendly and helpful staff. Also a sunny beer garden. Recommended.

We got a really lovely welcome by Joel who has only just taken on this position and the bar staff. Enjoyed the atmosphere with the local people who were friendly. Not eaten here yet but looking at the food that diners were having, it looked really nice. Would recommend this place.

A lovely gastro-pub under brand new management. The manager was lovely and he checked in with us constantly and gave us multiple complimentary items from our bill! Lovely location and pub garden with amazing food 😋🥂☀️🪻

A really fantastic meal with great service. Joel and Emily were so friendly and kind, made us feel very comfortable and served very hearty and delicious food! Thank you!

Plates were sold so food was only Luke warm.

Lovely food lovely staff. Recommended! 😀

Great stop for lunch. Been a few times always good service

I had two meals at this pub. Both were delicious and reasonably priced. Our dogs were also made welcome and the atmosphere was very pleasant. We found the seat by the window a little chilly but were able to move to a warmer table.

Excellent food with outstanding service, you made my father in laws 90th a special day. Thankyou!:-)

Had a fantastic Sunday roast here, with generous portions of roast chicken, lovely Yorkshire pudding and a mix of roast and fresh vegetables. We went on to enjoy a fantastic rhubarb creme brulee served with a shortbread biscuit for pudding. It was all delicious.

It's OK. Service quite slow, although it wasn't busy. Several dishes not available. OK, but wouldn't rush to go back.

Even though it is my local pub, I will not be visiting again. The interpersonal skills of the head barmaid are lacking to the extent that it can be construed as rude. She should not be in a customer facing role. Definitely a place to miss.

We had our first visit today. The area is separated into two areas, one being dog friendly. The menu is small, but does cater for vegan and gluten-free options. The drinks arrived promptly, the food however took over 40 minutes to be served. When it was finally served, the food tasted great, but was merely like warm. At no point did anyone check in with us to advise about the delay and to offer an apology for the long wait.

A lovely village pub. Attentive staff and amazing freshly cooked food. They are under going a refit, so it will be a village pub better than ever. Please go and enjoy the wonderful hospitality.

Three of us visited for Sunday lunch. First-class roast with plenty of everything. The new owners Shaun and Kiona are very friendly and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Great service. Check out their great deals such as Fishy Friday and Steak night on a Thursday including a bottle of wine. We will definitely return.

We had a wonderful family meal celebrating a special birthday. The food was fabulous, the best nut roast I've ever had. Great friendly service too. Thank you!

Brilliant little pub, fantastic welcome and good food.

Lovely welcome, warm cosy and spotless pub with freshly cooked food at amazing prices, what's not to love?!

When out for food absolutely disgusting 🤮 The lady behind the bar was picking her nose and them hanging food The food It self was terrible The bar staff is rude Absolutely revolting will definitely give this one. A miss

What a great pub! The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the food was excellent. Good food choices and delicious specials. Relaxed, casual atmosphere. Highly recommended.

All good! We have already booked again......lovely, lovely food & service excellent

Very warm and welcoming when we arrived. Abbie was very friendly and helpful and attentive. The food was amazing. Compliments to the chef.

Booked short notice the day before for a family gathering I have to say on behalf of all of us what a great place the food was amazing and staff couldn’t do enough for us, myself being a vegetarian they catered for my needs. We have all planned to return …. If you will have us 😊

Lovely skin on chips with cheese and drinks, friendly accommodating staff and despite the place being busy they still managed to let us have a table for a short quick meal and drink. Warm and inviting and would definitely come here again for a bigger meal with the family. Dog was also fully welcome ❤️

We live just round the corner and heard this pub is newly owned so thought we would walk round and have a drink! It was so great! The staff were so friendly and attentive. We played cards and ended up having a lovely dinner with pudding and even more drinks than we planned. There is a man behind the bar in a nice shirt, he is so friendly and really goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy. We will definitely be returning and feel lucky that it is so close!

1st time visitor, it will not be my last. Weekday lunchtime meet with colleagues.

Had an excellent lunch here today. Place is under recently new management. The rope grown mussels came in a delicious chilli, Lime and coconut sauce The fish pie was delightful. The liver and bacon lovely. Just a small note. The starters and mains got a bit confused. All my fault, but rather than take one main back to the kitchen while we ate our started, they gave the liver and bacon away to a local and prepared another for us. Excellent service and care and attention to quality. Highly recommended.

Under new management! Great improvement, food great, + Fuller's beer (HSB on tap) 8 of us had Sunday lunch, nobody could fault anything! Very recommended, definitely going back.

Sunday roast was excellent. Lovely staff. Absolutely nothing not to like 👍😊

Our first visit to The Traveller's Joy for several years despite being locals, and certainly since it was recently taken over. We visited for Saturday evening dinner and were very impressed with the food, drinks choice, service and atmosphere. We will definitely return again.

First time here despite living locally. Quick efficient service by Cheryl. Food & wine good value Definitely will return here with friends

Good service Lovely food waitress was lovely Nice setup Gave me free sweets Good at keeping morale Good teamwork Good patience Overall excellent Manageress was brilliant she was so kind she had me coughing up laughing she had high morale with all of the staff I loved my experience

New management have done a wonderful job as soon as you walk in you feel welcome. Service was excellent and food was superb will definitely be back

A Hidden Gem in Emsworth! I recently visited The Travellers Joy in Emsworth and had an absolutely fantastic experience. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a charming, rustic décor that made me feel right at home. The beer selection was impressive, featuring a variety of local brews that were both refreshing and flavourful. I particularly enjoyed the friendly and attentive service from the staff, who made sure my visit was perfect from start to finish. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, The Travellers Joy is a must-visit for a relaxing and enjoyable pint. Highly recommended!

My sister & I had lunch here today. The decor, food & staff were all excellent. We are returning next week for the Christmas menu.

We had a lovely lunchtime meal, the quality ingredients and superbly cooked food (Fillet steak and Salmon mains, sticky toffee pudding) was a delight. Hannah was excellent on front of house, she gave us a warm welcome and was very attentive throughout. We'd eaten at The Travellers Joy several times under previous ownership and our experience under the new ownership was equally as impressive. We'll definetly be returning. Thank you for a lovely all round experience 😊

Great service, friendly and swift. Under new management who are evidently masters at what they do. Wish they had offered smaller portions for the teenagers in our group but the fact they could choose from main menu and not just a roast is great for us. Couple of things missing from the menu like tomato juice and banana ice cream but they’d only been open 3 days when we visited. The cheese cake was drool worthy, can’t wait to return and try every other dessert on the menu!

Thanks for a lovely day girls, my we can chat eh, went in at 1pm Friday 29th November 24, came out at 5.30pm What a fantastic pub, taken over last Thursday by lovely friendly people. Food was delicious, served HOT. Lovely, warm and cosy. Will be returning again soon.

New people. They are great. Haven’t been in for a week yet - but place is clean, warm, staff are welcoming and the food is delicious and well priced. Real ale kept well!

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

Haven't scored food as we didn't eat but the menu looks lovely with vegan and gluten free options. Has just been taken over by new managers who were very friendly and welcoming. They have swapped the dining room and the bar over from our last visit and I think it makes a difference for the better.

Popped into TJ on day 2 and 3 of a new landlady. First day made very welcome by the staff. Day 3 popped in for a a pint, new landlady comes out and gives everyone a little bowl of olives, thought how nice. However, me, older local chap stood at bar totally ignored. What an uncaring unobservervant person. Don't think she will last long. Have been using the pub for decades.

I have to say a great launch night by the new team at The Travellers Joy in Southbourne. Looked amazing outside and in, We enjoyed dinner and some drinks. Cheryl and the team couldn’t do enough, the beer was fresh and the food was delicious. 😋 it’s in good hands, check it out. 😎👍👏

Nice pub good food nice atmosphere friendly staff

Nice Fullers pub. Food and drinks are a bit pricey. Good car parking and dog friendly.

Lovely venue for meeting up with family. Caters for all generations and child friendly. Lovely food, which everyone enjoyed.

Lovely pub with great food and service. Our server was extremely cheerful and couldn’t do enough for everyone. I had the fish pie which was delicious and such a big portion too. My husband had the gammon steak which he really enjoyed too. Give this pub a go, you won’t be disappointed!

Quaint little old English pub. Nice garden and wonderful staff, however quite small and can become busy and loud very quickly.

Have eaten here many times and have never been disappointed, Sunday lunch is excellent and very generous portions, will be back soon

Local pub with a comfortable atmosphere. Friendly staff and good selection of drinks. Nice beer garden and plenty of parking.

It was overpriced and they charged me an extra £1 for my chicken and mushroom pie and mash. It was nearly £20 for a chicken and mushroom pie with mash and gravy and a pint of pepsi I will never go here again.

First time visiting this pub on Bank Holiday Weekend. Wasn't a bad place to have a drink.

Great pub restaurant with lovely staff and fantastic food

Very friendly, food was lovely, would be good to cut down portion size to fit dessert in 😁

Lovely looking place with friendly staff and the deli burger with chips was beautifully cooked, pints were tasty and reasonably priced. Would live to go there again

A real shame that service was extremely poor when the food was actually alright. Attitude of bar maid/waitress was appalling regardless of the wait on food which appeared to be near on 45 minutes to an hour, the waitress should not be so aggressive. Real shame she spoilt our first time experience at this oldie worldie pub. Will not be recommending or visiting in future.

Great menu with good choises and food was good.

So a group of four popped in for lunch today. The wait was ridiculous. One meal came out and was eaten then after that the 2nd meal was eaten. Waited another 20 mins and asked for the next two meals and was told plating up. One of our party went into to get a couple more drinks and waited 5 mins and had to call the pub to get someone out. When the bar maid came out she was polishing of some food. We then waited longer and asked for the food again and the bar maid was very aggressive and rude. If we were communicated too this would have defused the whole situation! What has happened to customer service these days!!

Have always wanted to go to this pub but for some reason or another it never happened. but this time I managed to go and it was lovely. prices are good. lovely little pub.

My daughter and I had the Sunday Roast which was very good and my young granddaughter had a burger from the kid’s menu. We all enjoyed our meals very much and I was really pleased to see that they had the option for a smaller portion. I think this is such a good idea as not everyone has a huge appetite and it saves unnecessary food waste. The staff were pleasant and obliging and the service was good too. All in all, a very good experience and I hope to visit again soon.

The travellers is just a bit out of the marina and village which means it doesn't get the visitors. However the food is good and the staff are chatty and helpful.

Decent pub with a very good Sunday roast selection. Service was very good with friendly and funny staff.

Lots of great choices on the menu. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Very generous portions!

I order a take away on food as camping next door. The food was amazing and piping hot! Highly recommended

Not a bad boozer , clean and tidy with good beer . Spot on

Good portion and variety Sunday lunch, friendly staff, great service!

Excellent place for a lunch. The pies are very good. Service was excellent, and so all round a nice place.

An excellent local pub - right next door to a peaceful small campsite.

We're staying at the adjacent campsite & went into the pub restaurant last night for dinner. The service is attentive & the food was absolutely delicious. We shared a portion of brie for starters (which was more than enough for 2)... this starter was 'to die for'! I had a burger & chips main, & hubby had the lamb shank. Again, both were beautifully cooked. Needless to say, we've booked in for Saturday night dinner. Thanks, Anne & Marko

Great pub, super food and very friendly staff, would definitely recommend a visit, it's worth booking to avoid disappointment 😁.

Amazing find. Stayed at the campsite and the pub is a 3 minute walk away. Had the mussels and the filet steak. One of the best meals we have enjoyed for a long time and such a pleasant surprise for a country pub. Would highly recommended.

Lovely pub, great atmosphere and super staff - very attentive!

We had a lovely meal here Lovely welcoming local pub with a very good restaurant. All the staff were lovely,polite and welcoming. And well managed by a young lady who I didn’t get her name. Good selection of food and drink

Excellent tasty food. Large portions. Friendly good service.

Very, very good. Fish and chips was massive! Thank you

Dropped in for Sunday Lunch never been there before. Food was great and the service was excellent. One of the better Sunday roasts locally.

An excellent public house. Made to feel welcome from the minute we walked in. Really friendly especially the manageres. Food was excellent and reasonable priced. Highly recommend.

Very friendly country pub, close to the Camping and Caravan site so very handy and no driving involved. Had a great lunch the fish pie was to die for! Nicky and Craig and all the staff were very engaging and made our time in the pub one of enjoyment. Great range of beers, wines and spirits - hadn't had HSB for a while and it was in excellent condition. We will be back on our next trip to the area.

Lovely pub, good pint of Guinness, didn't eat here but saw a fish & chips meal served and it was huge 😋.

A lovely meal served by friendly people in a cozy pub.

My wife and I have just had an amazing lunchtime meal here. I had the steak burger and my wife had the fish pie. The pie was huge but was fantastic and very well cooked and tasty. Had to take half home it was so big. The steak burger was the best I have ever had and came with a lot of chips and Mexican Chipotle sauce. I thought it was 1,000 island so found it a bit hot for me but very nice though. The garlic cheese bread was also fantastic and a good sized portion. Washed down with a lovely refreshing large glass of Pinot Grigio wine. We have been here a few times over the years and it never disappoints.

Cosy little pub for a drink and food. Will be back again.

I absentmindedly went looking for a fry up brekkie....I just went on the wrong day, the TJ has been on my bucket list for while and I am soooo glad I bucketed and had a T riffic and tasty meal and coffee at a competitive price ( I felt like a real London beefeater haha) the staff were pleasant and "on the ball" it will not be my regular eatery due to my working shift. But I will go back and try their other fairs.

Our second visit, just as good as our first visit. Staff are very friendly

Lovely food and excellent service. Will go there again

Popped in as was working close ɓy Staff very helpful and food fantastic Recommend
