February 2025. Chichester. I won’t declare Chichester a great pub town on the basis of our flying visit to “Meet the Southworths” last week, but Dave and Joan had done a fair bit of research in their extended stay, in-between P trips to the Pallant, Petworth and Pompey, and confidently declared The Park the best… Continue reading “Reserved for the Coldstreams V.I.P.”.
