This is what a community pub is meant to be. Friendly staff, great food, and regular entertainment. Privately owned and lovingly run, all those chain pubs should take note.

We had my mother’s Wake at the Elmer, and we had the restaurant area to ourselves. I have to say the staff were superb, very friendly and tentative on the day. I cannot fault them. The buffet was also very good and just what we needed. I would definitely recommend.

My son and I stayed the night after driving a long way to visit Chichester Uni open day and not wanting to drive back in the same day. The pub was very easy to find from the university. The staff were wonderfully friendly and very welcoming, the room was clean and spacious, and the food was good with generous portions. Prices were very reasonable. It was a hot day but the fan in the room cooled it down well. We could hear music from the pub downstairs but we expected to on a Saturday night, and we found it wasn't as loud as we were expecting. Parking was a little tight, but it was manageable. Would visit again.

Friendly, helpful staff. Good food, very reasonable prices. Clearly a popular place, but not crowded nor noisy. Good facilities. All-round excellent. Wi-fi was a bit iffy, but acceptable; could be improved, I think. Will definitely stay again, when next in the area.

It's a pub with rooms. The 'beer garden' is at the front next to the road. They play loud music. Good home cooked food and friendly staff. Be prepared to be patient.The beach has no facilities.
