5 West Street, Chichester, PO19 1QF (View on Google Map)

Conversion of part of a historic city-centre hotel opposite the cathedral. Once two separate hotels, combined in 1910, the pub occupies the lower floor of what was the Anchor. This Wetherspoon venue is popular with young and old alike and is nearly always busy. The open plan interior retains attractive moulded plaster ceilings in the front part. There is also a small courtyard to the rear for smoking and outdoor drinking. The pub serves up to 6 changing beers championing local microbreweries and hosts Meet the Brewer evenings usually every 2 months. To date these have included Arundel, Ballards, Bowman, Dark Star, Goldmark, Irving, King Beer and Langham. Two draught ciders are also served. Most bus services stop nearby.
