11/11/2018: Bar felt a bit sterile but friendly welcome. Dining room too slightly lacking in atmosphere .

06/11/2018: Walking the Chichester Canal our party of four decided to stop for lunch at, The Blacksmiths'. We were warmly greeted by the lovely staff and had a wonderful meal from their set menu. The environment is delightful being modern, and well kept. The service was exceptional and the food had a home-made taste. Highly recommended!

07/11/2018: Had lunch here again, as usual very good, staff very friendly,. So. E could do with a bit of training on wine etiquette but overall very happy

03/11/2018: Amazing food and friendly staff! Namely Elliot and Michelle who made our visit most enjoyable, very welcoming and warm. The Peppers and Guinea Fowl were delicious and all very reasonably priced on the set menu.

07/11/2018: We had lunch for two here on a Wednesday lunchtime and were very impressed. The setting on the estuary is great and although the wind was up and it rained it was still great to sit in the window and watch the waves. All 6 dishes were very nice indeed and the lambs liver was a particular favourite although the fish of the day was very good and I guess more in keeping with the location! Service was very good and it was very popular for a midweek day so if you want a good table or are visiting at the weekend I would suggest you book. Recommended.

06/11/2018: Had fish and chips with the family after a lovely walk to the marina. Everyone enjoyed their meals but the batter was too thick and tasteless for me, although fish itself nice. For dessert we had chocolate brownie with salted caramel ice cream. The ice cream was delicious but the huge brownie was a bit dry. Others had the treacle sponge and I had food envy - it was delicious!
