Very Welcoming
One of the friendliest pubs I’ve ever been in! We were in Bembridge for a week, husband managed at least 4 visits, my sister and I just the one. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves Thank you

Old Village Inn
Really good pub with great staff. A constructive criticism would be that modifications and updating can sometimes detract from that old world pub character that we love. Still very good and highly recommended, but could be even better.

Fabulous friendly staff
We used this pub several times as a large family group, with young children and baby. The landlord couldn’t have been more helpful and ensured everyone was happy. The chef was also willing to adapt meals to suit and the serving staff quick and efficient. A really great place to grab a meal.

Friendly local
Great friendly pub. Went a couple of times and the food was great, the staff were welcoming and the quiz was great fun. Really enjoyed our nights here and wish this was my local.

Friendly, welcoming, something for everyone.
Fabulous find in the village centre. Wide and varied menu, catering for most dietary needs. Staff are incredible. We ate here twice in a row, but I have no doubt that if you were in the area for a week you wouldn't run out of options.

Traditional village pub
I like it here. It's casual, frequented by locals (usually a good sign) and the food is pretty good for a village pub. The meat is from the local butchers and highly recommended.
The city walls date back to the 3rd century and you can join a guided walk to learn about their facinating history. Guided walks start from the Cathedral Bell Tower or you can book your own personal tour by giving them a call.

An easy and interesting morniongs walk
Go for it! Walk the walls. These will take you, unsurprisingly, right around Chichester. Some parts have been lost over the years, but its easy to pick up the next and continue. Every so often you will find opportunities to sample cake, coffee and sandwiches at one of the many local cafes, so you can replace all the calories you have so virtuously walked off.
