Wilkes Head, Chichester

Still a quality country ale house. There's 6 pumps over 2 bars serving up ales that are local (Langham), localish (Hog's Back) and from further afield (Ossett, Taylor Boltmaker, Palmer's Dorset Gold). Keg options are Neck Oil & Laine's, as well as the usual lagers & Guinness. Obviously there's food, but this doesn't get the main focus. It's well worth the trip, and just a short hop from Barnham Station.

Currently a CAMRA regional pub of the year, so an obvious destination for us towards the end of the day. As a result of it being "towards the end of the day", I can recall little more than a good quality pint of Adnams IPA and food readily available. A pub in a location like this is clearly going to have a strong emphasis on food, but there's still a good pub feel. Definitely worth another visit.
