| One of Chichester's oldest City Centre pubs, the Fountain's history can truly claim to be ancient, with part of the original Roman South Wall (circa 200AD) running through the spacious restaurant. There is also a more 'recent' historical point of interest - the writer HG Wells' family once ran the old inn - though the author of 'The Invisible Man' hasn't been seen lately... |
| Situated within a stone's throw of the town Cross, the friendly atmosphere mixed with a warm and rustic feel to the two bars combine to make The Fountain an ideal spot for family lunches, evening meals or a relaxing stop for the real ale aficionado. Hall and Woodhouse's Badger range of beers in tandem with excellent German lagers on tap, provide ample choice alongside a fine selection of wines.
If you're hungry then the airy (non-smoking) restaurant will serve you a great menu of traditional English fare including one of the best Sunday roasts you'll ever enjoy. Children are welcome in the restaurant with a menu to cater for all ages and tastes. |
 |
The adjacent open-air courtyard has plenty of space for the kids, and
it's a refreshing spot to take your drinks on a sunny Sussex afternoon.
If there's a group of you celebrating or a club wanting space to yourselves, then The Fountain houses two function room facilities accommodating 15 up to 50 persons. There is NO CHARGE for these rooms and enquiries are always welcome with the option of sandwiches laid on for your event. Live music is a central feature of The Fountain and it's no idle boast to say we are the City's
leading venue featuring the best local talent plus genuinely fine artists from all over the world. |
| The Friday Night Jazz spot is a must for all fans of the medium and showcases professional
performers with international experience. If you love jazz then you'll love The Fountain on a Friday
night. If your taste is a little more eclectic, then Tuesdays and Saturdays feature some
excellent sounds from high quality acts spanning rock to folk, from blues to Irish. All gigs are
advertised in-house but arrive early, especially on Saturdays because it can and does get competitive for a seat near
the band.
Rather stretch mind than eardrums? So join the Thursday or Sunday night quizzes. Cash to be won on both! Be it excellent food at a sensible price, live music to suit all tastes, or just great beer and a relaxing night out, The Fountain provides all the above with a cordial atmosphere plus friendly staff and regulars. Just a ten-minute walk from the theatre, perfectly placed for a day's shopping or sightseeing, you'll be made very welcome for just a pint or an agreeably hearty English dinner. Join us soon! |
