The best restaurants in West Wittering Chichester South East

Great place to grab a drink and cake, sandwich after walk around harbour

Well, where do i start. We arrived at 7:20pm for our 8pm table for our 2 window seat as previously requested, having recieved a confirmation email 24hrs previously inviting us to enjoy a pre dinner cocktail in the bar. Bar was shut. Left to have drink in local pub Dog & Duck (recommended). Returned to our table (away from window) at 7:55pm to find the restaurant about half full. Ordered the £40 Rose and requested 2 x mains almost immediately, waitress returns 5 mins later to say there was a 30m wait for food. This was probably due to the 20 odd people sitting at the bench seating next to us. Needless to say we did not fancy the 1/2hr+ wait for 2 mains & left, cancelling the wine. Suggestions for the management; 1. Tell customers the bar is shut,not open 24hrs before. 2.Tell the customer there is a 1/2 wait for food apon arrival ( they tell you that in pubs). 3. Don’t take massive block bookings at the cost of other customers. 4. If you do, food must be pre ordered from online menu with deposit taken. 5. If you can’t do that,make sure you have enough staff to work the kitchen. Needless to say we shall not be returning as we do not want special treatment. I did not even mention it was my wife’s Birthday apon making the original booking.

Called in to try the new coffee bar - what a lovely experience! A warm greeting from the young staff and on seeing the range of cakes, just a quick coffee became a longer visit. What a choice - luckily they do take-aways but we will definitely keep going to try all the menu. Reasonably priced, great atmosphere and good service.

We celebrated our son’s christening at The Wittering last week in a lovely private area on the side of the main pub. We were blown away by the way the team (Sam especially) kept us up to date with the preparations and when it came to the day they allowed us to decorate to make the area even more special. The food was excellent and the waiters were incredibly attentive, nothing was too much to ask. Everyone left saying what a great place The Wittering is, we will all be back and it’s at the top of the list for our next celebration. Thanks to you and the team Sam for making it a great day.

First visit to the Lamb and what a treat it was! Inside was warm and cosy with a roaring fire which made it feel so homely. The staff were great, welcoming, attentive and friendly both to us and our dogs - they loved the dog treats! The menu has a great variety of choice. The dishes we finally ordered (we had difficulty choosing just one!) were absolutely delicious!!

Fantastic evening potting reds and drinking red.

Kat our waitress was a breath of fresh air so friendly and welcoming, food ws very good and Kat made the afternoon a great experience definitely will be back

Great place for an informal lunch or dinner lovely food cooked to perfection had steak and catch of the day both amazing flavours. Definitely be back to see what's new on specials board as all looked delicious

Un hermoso pub, en un lugar hermoso. El personal era amable y acogedor y la comida era increíble, vivo en Londres, pero sin duda intentaré hacer otra visita, me imagino que sería encantador durante el verano

After walking up from East Wittering, I queued for 20 mins just to grab a can of cold drink as the outside bar was closed, only to be told I had to join the queue formed from the terrace door opposite the main entrance, which is actually the exit!?? All those people were getting food and had avoided the proper queue. It wasn’t the fault of the poor girl who told me but someone should have redirected them! So I walked all the way back to East Wittering (parched!) to get a cold drink elsewhere. Ive used this cafe a lot and its usually lovely, maybe I’ll avoid half term next time 😂

At the beach on Friday last for a schools beach rugby tournament Freezing (it’s June?!) Had a few coffees in here Coffee good Service friendly and prompt Reasonably priced (parking for the beach not so much!)

Great service and an interesting breakfast menu.
