  “Really disappointed to be honest. The man behind the bar was incredibly rude, when I walked in looked at me in utter disgust and then refused to serve me and my partner. Wouldn’t give us a reason was more interested in having a chin wag with the person next to him. So unprofessional, no wonder why they’re looking for new staff. Avoid at all costs, plenty of other welcoming lovely bars in Chichester - the hole in the wall pub are always friendly and chatty.”

  “We took my daughter and grandkids there for my daughter’s birthday to watch the football at 5.30pm. They were happy to sell us £50.00 worth of drinks and an hour on the shuttle board but as soon as we went to our seats the manager came across and asked us to leave because in his words when the football starts it is likely to get violent and glasses may be thrown and the kids were unsafe. He said we were welcome to stay without the kids. After a debate he gave us 10mins to finish our drinks before we left but did not refund the monies for the hour booked on the shuttle board. He instructed the bar staff not to serve us which was embarrassing. Our grandkids are extremely well behaved and not at all noisy. My daughter went to speak to him to get his name but he made a point of ignoring her. She asked one of the staff for his name but she said she was not allowed to give it to us. We left extremely disappointed with his attitude. This is supposed to be a child friendly pub. They even advertise baby changing facilities. I would not recommend it.”

  “So very disappointed and actually pretty angry at the response we received. My partner and I decided to break up our long train journey, to stop in Chichester on our way back from Southampton to Brighton. We had an hour to mooch and we hoping for a lovely lunch and visit a pub couple tine together. Wow we were very wrong. On arrival an extremely rude bar person male, Irish accent I think. Although so rude hard to make out. We were met with you ‘Take your hat off. ‘ delivered in possible the rudest tone , I have ever heard in any pub/ restaurant absolutely appalled. We were made to feel absolutely horrible . No explanation. The least friendly welcome and experience I have ever received . We Love visiting lovely pubs. Supporting local Businesses. Quite honestly we were shocked. We ordered two drinks, only because We had travelled for two hours. We were made to feel very unwelcome. Sat outside , a really cold atmosphere unwelcome feeling, the staff lacking , in well everything , care, warmth, professionalism, kindness, need a lot of training I would strongly suggest. We sat outside had our drinks reluctantly , whilst a chef smoked outside in his chef attire , almost the whole time we were there. We will return to Chichester as a beautiful place. We were disgusted at our treatment by the staff member. Primarily because my partner he had a cap on. We were casually dressed , both mid 40’s. Think about staff training sad the pub could be lovely. We will never return or never recommend to others. We appreciate , we are thinking it’s a company policy . understandably a simply verbal explanation and it delivered with kindness and humanity is all it needed. The visit and the guy ruined our short time in Chichester. We got a meal deal in Waitrose to have on the train no lovely pub lunch such a shame.”
