The Walnut Tree

The Walnut Tree is a large roadside pub in Runcton, just south of Chichester, with a public bar, cottage area and separate restaurant. Dogs are welcome inside in the bar and cottage area, so the whole group can settle in together over drinks or food without anyone drawing the short straw on the pavement.

The pub serves British pub-restaurant fare with seasonal menus and a daily specials board, and opens every day from 11am to 10pm. There is free on-site parking for around sixty cars, making it a practical stop for visitors heading south from Chichester or exploring the area with a dog in tow.

Bar, cottage area and dog — all inside together. The restaurant stays dog-free, but with two generous indoor areas open to four-legged guests, a proper meal or a quiet pint with the whole group is well within reach.
