The Nag's Head - Chichester

Basically I was in Chichester A E and was told the waiting time from entering A E to my procedure would be 24 hours, so instead of sitting in a very uncomfortable chair for 24 hours along with hundreds of other people I booked a room at the Nags Head. Just what I wanted after 10 hours in A E, lovely young lady showed me my room, basic, bright, very clean, comfortable at a great price. If in Chichester again wouldn't use anywhere else. 5 minutes walk to the hospital for my operation at 9.10am. Didn't eat there cause I was nill by mouth, but from what I saw all look good and the smell of food was insane. Come go as you please. Absolutely for the price 5 stars. Well done Nags Head, see ya soon.

Had a table booked for 1:45, we was told they was running 5/10 minutes behind and to go get a drink from the bar and someone will be with us shortly! When we asked 25 minutes later if our table was ready, we told to wait another 10 minutes. We stayed at the bar and left without being seated an hour after arrival. This is somewhere we come often for a meal or even a drink.

We have been going to the Nags Head for years and years, and 99% time had great meals and service, Today though was different. They had no record of our booking(we was told it was crossed out by someone no problem as there were plenty of tables free. They sat us down but after a few minutes we all decided that it was too cold, as we were opposite the door with people coming and going. So we asked to be moved. which we did. We ordered our food and I did want fish and chips for a change but saw there was small, medium or large. Always though it was just one size, as we have had it loads of time over the years. I decided against this as I saw a couple of said fish and chips being served to another table. The fish batter looked a bit black. and looked very small. Two others at our table ordered fish and chips. One Large One small. When the food came out my wife said mine's the large one. Well if that is large, i would have been very disappointed. Then the small one came out.Small!! you mean tiny. they had about 12 chips each . very expensive for what you got, and yes the batter was a bit burnt. If that is your large fish then there is no way we will be back for that.

We came today a group of 11 of us 1pm table 27, really poor service, food was questionable, I ordered a started that said on the menu served with sourdough bread I got sliced and when questioned I was informed it is sliced! Thinnest cheapest sliced bread in melted cheese! Hair in my mums started and my nephews, my burger was burnt I had to send it back and it taste shocking, I got a new one which was lovely but I had eaten the rest of my meal by then. We asked for sauces they came once we were half way through the meal, slow service and bad food today, we’ve been twice and this was our 3rd time and very disappointed won’t return.

The restaurant was very busy with Christmas parties but the ambience was great and the staff professional, efficient and very friendly. There was a wide choice of dishes on the main menu as well as the carvery. We sampled both. Everything was excellent, the meats succulent and moist, the wide selection of vegetables beautifully cooked and piping hot. The helpings were very generous. So, we all had an excellent lunch, served in good time. I would recommend this venue very highly.
