The Fountain

The Fountain is a traditional dog-friendly pub in the centre of Chichester, where our Woof Scout Crocker received a warm welcome during a visit with his family. Staff enjoy meeting their four-legged visitors, with water bowls readily available and free biscuits usually appearing from behind the bar. Dogs are welcome inside and outside, with leads required throughout your visit. Wooden beams, brick fireplaces and different seating areas give the pub plenty of character, and the family particularly liked being able to find a quieter spot away from the action. In winter, the fires make it a cosy place to stop for a drink, while the large outdoor courtyard is popular for people and pup watching in warmer weather. Food is provided by The Feral Kitchen, with gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options available, although the family hadn’t tried the new menu when sharing their visit.

Ask for a quieter spot if your dog prefers a little space away from the action. The choice of seating areas was something Crocker’s family particularly appreciated.
