Fox & Hounds

Welcome to Fox & Hounds, a charming country pub nestled inside Funtington Hall, 3 B2146, Funtington, Chichester PO18 9LL. The location itself feels like a little escape into the countryside, surrounded by rustic scenery that sets the mood before you even step inside. Once you walk through the doors, the warmth of the interior and the inviting aroma from the kitchen instantly make you feel at home. Looking through the menu, it’s clear this isn’t just a stop for a quick bite—it’s a place where dishes are prepared with care, balancing traditional British pub classics with modern twists.

During my visit, I couldn’t resist starting with the crispy whitebait, served with a punchy tartare sauce that added just the right amount of tang. Reviews from other diners had already hinted at how good the fish dishes were, and they weren’t wrong. The main course highlight was a perfectly cooked steak, chargrilled and served with chunky chips and a peppercorn sauce that had a rich, creamy depth. For those who prefer lighter plates, the seasonal salads and vegetarian pies showcase how the kitchen makes use of local produce, something supported by statistics from VisitBritain that show the rising popularity of pubs sourcing from regional suppliers.

The Sunday roast is another standout. Slow-roasted meats, crisp Yorkshire puddings, golden potatoes, and seasonal vegetables come together to create a meal that feels both comforting and indulgent. It’s the kind of roast that makes you linger longer at the table, enjoying both the food and the conversation. Pair it with a pint of local ale or a glass of wine from their well-selected list, and you’ll understand why this pub has become a favorite for both locals and visitors.

Fox & Hounds blends tradition, quality, and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re dropping by for a relaxed lunch, celebrating a special occasion, or simply exploring new dining locations in Chichester, this is one of those places that earns its reputation through consistency, great service, and a menu that truly satisfies.
