Crown & Anchor

Head down to Dell Quay and you'll find yourself at a proper local's pub that hasn't pretended to be anything it's not. The Crown & Anchor sits right on the water, and on a decent day you can watch the boats while nursing a pint of something worth drinking. The food isn't fancy—it's the kind of place where they know their regulars' orders and the kitchen takes pride in what goes on your plate. You'll get straightforward pub classics done well, paired with a thoughtful selection of ales that actually changes. It's the sort of place Chichester locals have been coming to for years, and there's a reason the reviews stack up the way they do.
