Felpham, West Sussex:
Now, if you were after a village pub, this fits. 16th century, low ceilings (I had to duck!), wooden beams. Decent beer and wine, friendly staff and locals, traditional feel.

The Old Barn Freehouse
Felpham, West Sussex:
We didn’t take to this: nothing actually wrong, but it felt a bit sports bar-ish. Outside was OK though, but less attractive than others nearby. Beer was fine, staff OK too, it just didn’t have the village pub feel we got elsewhere in Felpham.
The Thatched House
Felpham, West Sussex:
Pleasant village pub. looked to be recently refurbed inside, but not devoid of character. Nice decking area out back- looking out to a car prk, but pleasant enough. Great beer and friendly staff. Another pub with rooms, and they seemed to be preparing a holiday let attached to the pub too.
The Fox Inn
Felpham, West Sussex:
Lovely traditional pub just a short walk from the seafront. Loads of outside space, but we were sunburned so sat inside. Traditional interior- traditional for when the pub was rebuilt post WW2 (apparently the first newly-built post-war pub). Lovely staff, great beer and food.
The Lamb Inn
Pagham (or maybe Nyetimber), West Sussex:
Imposing old pub (coaching inn?). Traditional inside, friendly staff, great beer choice and an excellent-looking menu (we had already eaten). Lovely beer garden too, and a bus top right outside.
The Bear Inn
Pagham, West Sussex:
At a guess, 1920s, this was definitely pub with rooms, not pubby hotel. Pleasant barman and staff, and a decent beer garden. There was ale, but it was all a bit traditional bitter for me, so keg Ghost Ship (which was fine).
The Inglenook
Pagham, West Sussex:
Another hotel, another pubby hotel! Inside feels like a country pub, outside looks like one.
Fabulous beer garden, great beer choice, some craft bollocks and some cask, both fine, and great food. Really pleasant staff again too.
The Navigator Hotel
Bognor Regis, West Sussex:
Again, a hotel, but sufficiently pubby. Decent food, decent ale, and a seafront terrace/conservatory that’s a great place to sit.
The Chichester Inn
Chichester:
Another hotel, but it feels very pubby. A short walk from the central cross. Stripped floorboards and green paint, but not a Greene King hatchet job; the bar is pleasant, bright and airy. Really friendly staff and pubdog, excellent beer and food.
The Dolphin & Anchor
Chichester;
A ‘spoons. Quite a nice spoons, as they go, but definitely a ‘spoons, so you know the deal. Nice building.
