Quick info
About The Fountain
The Fountain is a pub and bar at 29 Southgate in Chichester, with a Roman wall running through its restaurant, so diners eat in a room that contains it. Feral Kitchen took over the venue and now runs the food menu. That menu includes hot honey chicken balls, sweetcorn fritters and a venison Wagyu burger, and a beef roast is also on offer. Behind the bar, the pub pours guest beers. Dogs are welcome, which makes it a stop for walkers with their pets.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise the roast, with one calling the beef roast the best. Burgers, including a venison Wagyu one, and chicken balls, one order with hot honey, come close behind, while jacket potato snacks arrive deep fried and smothered in cheese. One reviewer, however, had pardon yelled at them twice after a man asked if they were alright.

“Wonderful food. Chicken balls, sweetcorn fritters, meat suet and burger we're just perfect. I highly recommend this place. Our first visit since the Feral Kitchen took over.”

“We have not eaten here for many years, but I had a really delicious watermelon, feta and mint 'light bite' - the size was generous and the ingredients all fresh, many thanks it was much enjoyed 🤗”
- Eternal Flame
“Walked in to use the toliets and purchase something on the way out as I wasn't feeling well. On the way down a man asked me if I was alright. I said yes because I was confused why he was asking. He said I was just asking ? I then repeated I was fine and he proceeded to yell pardon at me, this happened twice before I walked out. If he works for you please tell him to use his inside voice as I didn't need to be screamed at, thank you.”
