I'm not often out that way but if I am, I've made a mental note of the recommendations.
There should be some sort of NSC good pub/food guide

Cheers, perhaps the old "grey matter" was not damaged by the drink!

Definitely The Royal Arms. Loved The Hole in the Wall & White Horse as well between 1983 & 1990.

Dennis and his wife Anna ran the Punch House. The Vic in Eastgate was pretty good too.

Does anyone remember The Fleece in East Sreet?

Nope definately before my time, although I remember the Hogs Head (now Trents) in South Street, the Eastgate is still good (The Hornet, just off of East Street and near the Nags Head), the Hole in the wall is still there but not particularly busy. The Park Tavern is also good as well as the Geroge and Dragon.

Yep, was struggling to remember the name of that one. Has it gone as well?
Correct.......no-one ever called it the Royal Arms in my Chichester drinking days.
The Old Cross is not the pub it used to be,but I like the George and Dragon and the Park Tavern.
Still no night club for the youngsters in Chichester and although I still like the place,it does appear to be run by old farts for the benefit of old farts,despite there being a thriving college and uni in the city.

Your not wrong, it does appear to be run by old farts, but I think the pub culture started going down hill when they opened the Chichester Gate (cinema complex) which I think contributed to the closure of The Punch House...

Used to drink in the Victoria in St Pancras in the 80's when I worked in Chichester. Is that the same Vic, now converted into flats?

That's the one. Had a little cocktail bar at the side and a restaurant. Used to get some good live music in there as well.
