Four Chesnuts — Restaurant in Chichester

Initially I was sceptical as I'm pretty sure they might be changing owners or something. We were being visited by family and decided we wanted a Sunday lunch. Luckily they weren't booked up when I called ahead but we were warned of a temporarily restricted menu. Upon arrival I was pleased to see full Sunday roasts were still on the cards but my pregnant body had been craving the Eton Mess I had seen on the menu online that had unfortunately not made the cut for the temporary menu. We were greeted warmly by a very busy barman and service was fairly prompt despite his being alone. I opted for a beef roast and the Chef seemed to be having to wait tables as well as cook and clear. Despite his overwhelming workload and being quite clearly a little stressed and tired he was delightful to us, made sure we had everything we could want and was even a little embarrassed that he couldn't take our plates away immediately which of course we didn't mind. The food was very tasty and piping hot, all of us cleared our plates and decided to have puddings which even though I was irrationally grumpy about not having an Eton mess, turned me around because the chocolate sponge I had instead was moist, hot and delicious with a generous helping of ice cream. The staff continued to be delightful the entire evening and we will definitely...

I came here today to complete some work...

New landlord Chalkie is very welcoming and the pub looks fantastic after the refurbishment..

The whole pub is spotlessly clean throughout,

I'm privy to go back of house... Photos show the kitchen is pristine with colour coordinated boards and utensils... Very impressive standards of hygiene and cleanliness.

It's clear from my visit Chalkie really takes a pride in providing great customer service..

He is busy settling into the new landlord role and putting his personal stamp on this venue....He tells me that the pub will soon start doing Sunday Dinners and hot quality pies and savouries...

The pub offers Pool / Darts, live sports and outside seating / smoking space

The pub has a Small carpark to the rear and there is also on street parking available.

Thank you for your hospitality today Chalkie... Good luck for the...

Can I start by applauding a staff member called Zara. We were a party of 8 with 2 dogs and the place was busy. Single handedly, Zara was dealing with everyone and was so pleasant. Serving at the bar, taking and giving out drink and food orders, very attentive to everyone. The other staff members were great, pleasant and having a laugh with our group. We all had the best evening we've had in a long time. As for the food....... Absolutely mind blowing quality, perfect portions, and able to take away anything for later!. If I could write in the clouds how fantastic an experience we all had, I would. The owner should be very proud of the staff, especially Zara and the amazing Chef. Thank you...
