Welcome to The Bell Inn, Chichester
Make a Booking
The Bell Inn is situated in Chichester, West Sussex, opposite the Chichester Festival Theatre.
We are a traditional pub serving home-made food, with a great selection of hand pulled real ales. It’s welcoming atmosphere and decor makes us one of the few remaining traditional pubs in the city and in June 2022 we became a Free House.
We are open for every matinee performance at Chichester Festival and Minerva Theatre and would advise booking in advance.
** Please note that we will be closed between 5th - 15th September 2022. But will be open as usual for the Goodwood Revival weekend, 16th-19th September. **
To make a reservation please use our booking form or call us on 01243 783388.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
