Duke and Rye

The Duke and Rye in Chichester is a unique and historic pub, often known locally as "The Pub in the Church". Sitting right in the town centre opposite the Cathedral, it's a spot full of character and local history. Inside, many original features have been carefully preserved, giving the space a warm and distinctive feel. The pub is large but thoughtfully laid out with cosy corners, sofas, and quiet areas where you and your pup can properly relax. Dogs are genuinely welcomed and are even allowed to hop up on a chair for a comfortable nap. The team are friendly and always make a point of saying hello to the dogs that come through the door. It's an easy place to stop for a modern pub meal, a quiet coffee, or a relaxed drink after exploring Chichester.

The Roman walls of Chichester are just a short walk away and make a lovely circular stroll with your pup. The Cathedral is dog-friendly too, so it's easy to turn your visit into a relaxed day out.
