Chichester Pub notes.

Chichester pubs are not dominated by any particular brewery. There is a fair share of free houses.

Almost all pubs offer food at lunch and most also do evening meals. There are a couple which are probably more restaurant than bar.

Many also offer city centre accommodation from Bed and Breakfast to actual Hotel.
