Chichester Arms

Walk down Garden Lane and you'll spot the Chichester Arms doing what it does best—being the kind of pub where regulars prop up the bar and newcomers feel welcome within five minutes. It's got that unhurried, lived-in feel you can't manufacture: worn wooden fixtures, the sort of place where the landlord knows what you're drinking before you ask. The food's straightforward but honest, and they take their ale seriously enough without getting snobbish about it. You're basically stepping into someone's local, which is exactly the point.
