We are hoping to go on a day trip (from London) sometime during the Easter Hols with some friends and are looking for a pub or restaurant - possibly near Chichester?? - for a relaxing lunch. We're after good food (local fish?), and just some pretty garden/outdoor space for our DDs to run off steam after lunch, so that the adults can relax and (hopefully) enjoy some sunshine and a nice chilled glass of wine.
Our DDs eat anything and are pretty well behaved in restaurants so it doesn't need to be kiddie-friendly in that respect, but it must tolerate children, IYKWIM.
Any gems that we should know about? Near to a nice walk / coastal path would be the icing on the cake!
