The Wittering in Chichester

We headed down to the Witterings at the weekend for a trip to the beach and stopped in at the pub afterwards. We sat outside where they had a great DJ playing and ate pizza from their great little cabin. We had a lovely afternoon and will definitely be back

Hate writing bad reviews but here goes. We arrived for drinks and food but sat out the back in the wonderful beer garden. While I will admit it was busy there were empty tables full of glasses. We ordered 4 pizzas along with fries and dips from the outside area the staff were great. Went to the bar to get drinks and the chips arrived. Waited over 20 mins and the chips were stone cold and the smallest about for the money you paid. They arrived in a small box which was barely half full. I went inside to let the bar staff know they were cold and no pizzas. I will say at this point the pizzas are cooked to order and were well worth the wait this i understand. I would not usually take to trip adviser but the lady (blonde curly hair) was very rude and told me that I shouldn't expect chips at the same time as pizzas as they come from different kitchens. Sorry but would ecpect it to be usual for food to arrive somewhat at the same time. How is anyone to know the kitchen problems. Even a few minutes after of before but 20 mins before to be left getting cold is not good enough. There should be a better system in place. Thus seems a long post about a cold very small portion of chips its more about the ladies attitude !

After a substandard experience on our previous visit, we decided to give it another go and with our knowledge that only pizza and nachos were available in the garden, sat inside for a proper meal. The restaurant was fully booked but we asked to sit in bar as we had two dogs with us. We were welcomed into the bar and presented with menus. The menu was varied and the specials board had some seasonal options. The lady who served us was lovely and bubbly and very accommodating, Food came out and was delicious, they even made a half portion of the prawn linguine for my pasta loving son which was appreciated. Overall a far better experience than we had on our last visit so I guess the lesson is, if you want a good meal and great service, sit inside. Still a bit of a shame as the garden is huge and it would be great to be able to enjoy the food outside in the Summer.

Lazy staff not interested in feedback- disappointing as regular visitors and for such high prices expect first class service.. pull your socks up, please

Welcoming and very dog friendly Had a lovely supper here after a long beach walk. Staff were really welcoming, and our meals were delicious. Would return and recommend
