Little Monster Tap

Little Monster Tap is a split-level micropub in Chichester's Hornet area, run by Little Monster Brewing. Dogs are welcome inside the taproom, so the whole group can settle in together without anyone drawing the short straw on pavement duty. The focus is craft beer — a rotating selection on tap, cask and a well-stocked range of cans.

Opening hours are Tuesday to Thursday from 4 p.m., Friday from 2 p.m., Saturday from noon and Sunday from 2 p.m., closing at 9 p.m. on Sundays and 10.30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Closed Mondays. The split-level layout means there's seating both downstairs and upstairs, so finding a spot with a dog in tow is rarely a problem.

It's a straightforward, no-frills stop for anyone moving around Chichester with a dog — especially useful when the weather turns and a proper sit-down with a good beer is exactly what the afternoon needs.
