Fisherman's Joy - Chichester

Great spot which has been taken on by a young friendly couple who have improved the place really well for families with and without kids, all welcome and a good play area for the younger kids also the garden pods are a great idea.

Loved this pub when you could book a 3 course dinner with a tribute with a lovely Atmosphere. Luke Aimee were great welcoming. May 2023 Lionel Richie tribute was Brilliant. July we saw Red Mick tribute but this time the food was by Banksy to be perfectly honest it was a Burger Chips , BQ Chicken ect... in other words Quick food Your Basic. I waited an hour for it to arrive was luke warm. I come all the way from bognor for that. Go back to your lovely meal dinners with a Restaurant. I can understand why the fast food is done . ..but it`s not for me, You cannot compare Real food with fast. The Staff are friendly Welcoming. I have put 5 stars for when we went. But now I would only give it 3 stars for my experience of the food . If you like fast food then it`s for you, It is a Lovely pub to visit Though. [hidden link]

The bartenders were extremely impolite, the music was so loud that it was impossible to think, and it was disturbing the locals. I am very disappointed that they do not show any consideration for the locals or the visitors to the pub.

As a long-time resident and regular patron of this pub for two decades, I regret to say that I will never frequent the Joy again. The bar manager was extremely rude and the service was incredibly slow. The customer service was very poor, lacking in interpersonal skills and overall unwelcoming. This pub used to have a family-friendly atmosphere, but with the new management, I will not be returning until they change.

Truly one of the best pubs in selsey! After a horrible experience during our stay at the cove park, we came here for a lunch to find some decent food and a good atmosphere. The staff were refreshingly friendly, accommodating and even were kind enough to squeeze us in for a last minute lunch despite being fully booked for the afternoon. The food was fresh and delicious and even with one of our children being a fussy eater, they accommodated our needs to find something he could eat. A fantastic family pub with so much to offer, it is so rare these days to find staff that make the effort to go above and beyond and at the fisherman’s joy we found exactly that. If you are staying at seal bay I would recommend giving them a visit if you want quality food for a fantastic price. Thank you for giving us the great end to our holiday that we so desperately needed. We will be returning! P.s the food was so delicious we didn’t have enough time to take photos before devouring!
