The Spotted Cow

You're heading out towards Selsey, past the familiar stretches of Chichester's outskirts, when The Spotted Cow appears—a proper country pub that takes its food seriously without any fuss or pretension. Inside, it's all warm lighting and the kind of atmosphere where regulars occupy their favourite corners, but newcomers are welcomed like they've always belonged. The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing; expect seasonal British dishes done right, not overthought, with the sort of care that makes you wonder why you don't venture out here more often.
