There are a wide variety of country pubs and resturants in the locality.
The Fish House Restaurant is just a 10 minute walk from Chilgrove Farm . Previously a Coaching Inn, this old building with it's low ceilings has been refurbished to create a warm and relaxed atmosphere. You may choose to dine A La Carte in the main resturant, or eat less formally but equally comfortably and deliciously, in the Fish bar. The menu is wide ranging with vegetarian options available.
The Royal Oak pub at Hooksway is tucked away at the bottom of a steep wooded valley. It has a large garden to sit out in on sunny afternoons. It serves traditional pub food and snacks and may be reached by car or on foot. It is easy to include it as a watering hole on at least one of the circular walks possible from Chilgrove farm.
The Royal Oak, Lavant is an intimate village pub and restaurant which is widely known for its welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff and excellent food. It serves traditional British cuisine with a Mediterranean twist.
The Earl of March pub, also located in Lavant, serves freshly prepared seasonal food from local sources, a selection of local real ales and a cellar of good quality wines.
The Selsey Arms is a short drive over the hill in the village of West Dean. It offers traditional pub food at lunch times and Thai food every evening
The Hare and Hounds is located in the pretty village of Stoughton and may be reached via a short drive through the picturesque village of East Marden and some stunning downland scenery. If you have time on the way back make a detour to visit the pretty, isolated 13th Century church in Up Marden.
This pub is also included in the circular walk detailed on the WALKS page of our website.
The Three Horseshoes at Elsted (pictured above), is a little further away but is well worth the effort. The pub has a lovely garden with fabulous views of the Downs escarpment. it also has a good selection of real ales and serves excellent bar food. It is possible to walk there from the carpark on the top of Harting Down. There is a spectacular view from there and the walk back up the steep scarp face of the Down will help to compensate for that helping of their legendary treacle tart which you just couldn't resist!
Other pubs in the locality include The Partridge in Singleton, which has a comprehensive menu: Just a little further up the road in Charlton is The Fox Goes Free which has plenty of footpaths close by and a lovely garden with views of the downs.
Cassons Restaurant has a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The menu offers top quality fresh produce sourced from local farms. The restaurant is located 2½ miles East of Chichester and is within easy reach of Goodwood.
