Excellent, down-to-earth pub at the eastern end of the city centre. Partly opened-out inside to leave three separated areas: a wider seating / standing area at the front, another smaller one opposite the main part of the bar counter and a tapered area at the back which is more of a lounge. Light, semi-traditional furniture and decoration throughout. I found four of the five handpumps in use, dispensing London Pride, Hophead, Proper Job and 'Gales' HSB (£5.05).

A vibrant locals pub in The Hornet always very busy, the downside is lack of seating especially if they have some entertainment on but that's due to the pubs layout. When having a night out in Chichester I always pop in for a pint it's worth the ten minute walk from the main centre. The Eastgate is a Fuller's pub which is not my favourite so I cant comment on the beer but they offer a full selection of Fuller's ales on tap.
