The Foresters Arms — Restaurant in Chichester

We stayed here for a wedding nearby, arriving late on a Friday and staying through until Sunday.

We'd a great experience, the pub it's self is a really friendly local pub - great beer garden and good car park. David is really friendly as is the chef who took care of us for breakfast.

The rooms are really well put together, they are really designed and comfortable and mostly there is great attention to detail (link thin duvets in the hot summer, sparking water - plastic free, great water pressure) they reflect the age and character of the building really well while being comfortable and modern.

The only area for improvement in the rooms would be to look at the blinds although black out material, they do let rather a lot of light in around the edges, which means an early rise on a sunny summers day. Black out roman blinds work best within a frame, or if your light sensitive pop an eye mask in your bag.

We had breakfast twice and one lunch - breakfast was delicious with a really good quality full English and some tasty continental options. Lunch as well, was really good (as where the several rounds of drinks we had)

I'd happily return here again or...

Disappointing. After coming here based on recommendations, we were looking forward to a nice meal after a walk. Very slow service - took 30 minutes for two burgers to arrive. Upon arrival I checked my burger and there was cheese on top of it. Menu didn’t specify it was a ‘cheeseburger’. If they take the time to list almost every ingredient in their risotto dish and fish dish, the least they could do is specify if it’s a cheeseburger or normal burger. Asked for a replacement. Waiter came back saying milk was mixed into the burger meat - an odd thing to do? Waiter wasn’t able to offer anything from the menu that I could or want to eat except the overly vinegered salad. Chips were so salty, couldn’t eat them.

The other burger which had the bacon in it looked terrible. The bacon was essential big thick slices of fat which my partner couldn’t even bite into, or chew. Had to take the whole thing out.

To top it all off, went to the toilet and it was really dirty. Floor was wet, tissues all...
