The Anchor Bleu, Bosham

Agree with other comments re the food. They really don't know what they are doing. And such a pity for a pub in this fantastic location.

The bitter was fine so I recommend drinking there rather than eating.

Also one of the guys behind the bar was just plain rude and uninterested. Guaranteed to keep customers away. I will keep trying in case things improve

Park Tavern, Chichester

An excellent pub. Good Gales and other bitters - four in all I think - and really good food. I haven't tried the Thai range on the menu because the ribeye steak sandwich is SO good and I end up having it each time.

Only one problem with the pub - you can't see the cricket pitch on the other side of the road cos of the hedge!! Otherwise not a lot wrong here. Nice landlord - seriously concerned to see that you are a happy customer

The Drunken Duck Inn, Barngates

This is currently my favourite pub bar none - based on a visit in May 2004. Given a location like this it would be difficult to fail. Wonderful views from the benches over the road from the pub looking out over the lake district. Their beer is wonderful - Catnap being my favourite - fantastic flavour without being too strong.

Just the beer and location would make this a nine out of ten but when you sample the food....Simply the best meal (evening) I have had in many years. Don't miss the Australian desert wine - the white one called something like orange muscat!!! Thank you Erwin for treating us to such a wonderful meal.

I hope to be back there in 2006 and will file a new report then.

One warning. If you smoke (like I did then - have since given up) make sure you bring enough cigs with you as they don't sell them - we walked all the way to the nearest pub - which was closed - and then all the way back the Talbot to buy a packet!!!
