The Woodmancote Pub in Chichester

Nice atmosphere, good location, ok service, but sadly let down by the need for a fly swat as they have a major fly problem indoors with us having to constantly wave flies off our food and out of our faces. Sadly my partners beef roast was a bit killed (charred on the edges and inedible), and the extra gravy we requested never appeared. Probably will return to give them another go though.Update: beef was exactly the same and charred and dead again but less of it, the gravy was very lumpy and the yorkshires and potatoes were horrible too, what was worse when the cook came out to discuss our concerns, they were very argumentative and my partner was shouted at and made to feel very uncomfortable. We won't be returning. They did however not charge for 2 of the roasts.Further Update: we were NOT rude at any time to your servers who asked us if everything was ok and we politely said it was not, my partner said it was one of the worst roasts she had ever had but didn't want to make a fuss. You then came over on the attack rather than saying sorry we weren't happy what can you do to help. Yes I ate all mine, after a 30 min wait, I was hungry (nor was I expecting mine to be free but thanks anyway). However, my partners lad also left nearly all of his as he didn't like it either. I didn't bother to take photos this time as it was just the same as before and we were made to feel so uncomfortable we just wanted out of there. Like I said we won't be back, not only due to your food but also your (and I mean you not your servers) terrible customer service.

I’m not often one to leave a review, but as a now regular visitor to the woodmancote I feel they deserve some recognition! The staff are always beyond helpful & full of joy. The food is consistently brilliant, I clear my plate every time. This is my go to location for delicious food and a genuinely lovely atmosphere! I absolutely recommend!

Wonderful Sunday lunch, food tasty and portions very generous. Scampy, fish and chips or pie mains were delicious. The service was excellent, friendly and attentive, which contributed to our lovely day. Very popular, we had a booking which we think is a good idea. Thank you for a nice time .

Perfect customer service and exquisite food. Plus the pubs cosy

Beautiful food in a lovely atmosphere, great live music, highly recommend 👌 xx

Friendly team and very nice coffee and cake deal (£4 set price). Pub is obviously popular with cyclists with 2 other groups there when we arrived.

Valentines night excellent. Recommended to a friend who went the next day,and was extremely impressed. Good food and beer selection,looks like the locals drink there too,which speaks fir itself. The staff are nice too.

Lovely pub, stopped by for breakfast and it was worth the drive. Homely atmosphere and friendly dogs too. Looking forward to returning in the future.

Celebrated Dad's 88th here today. Staff were great. Really friendly and helpful. Food was lovely, large portions and very reasonably priced definitely recommend this pub. Very doggy friendly. Classic traditional old English pub.

Lovely staff and delicious food. Owner went out of his way to make us feel welcome. Would definitely recommend.
