The Bell Inn

About

Welcome to The Bell Inn, a charming traditional pub nestled in the heart of Chichester, West Sussex, right across from the renowned Chichester Festival Theatre. Our pub prides itself on serving delicious home-made food and a fantastic selection of hand-pulled real ales, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes us one of the few remaining traditional pubs in the city. Since becoming a fully independent public house in August 2025, we have embraced our role as a community hub, welcoming locals and visitors alike.

At The Bell Inn, we understand the importance of a good meal and a refreshing drink, especially when planning a theatre trip. That's why we are delighted to accept bookings for the entirety of the Chichester Theatre season, allowing you to enjoy a delightful dining experience before or after the show. Our dedicated team is here to ensure that your visit is memorable, whether you're stopping by for a quick pint or a leisurely meal with friends.

We take pride in supporting local independent breweries from Hampshire, West & East Sussex, and Surrey, offering a varied range of ales on tap. We love to hear from our customers, so if there's a particular ale or brewery you'd like us to stock, just let us know! Join our mailing list to stay updated on news and special offers, and we look forward to welcoming you soon to The Bell Inn, where great food, fine ales, and a friendly atmosphere await you.
