The Four Chesnuts, on Chichester’s Oving Road, has undergone an extensive renovation inside and out thanks to a £68k investment by leading pub company, Punch Pubs & Co.

As the hub of the community, Management Partner Michael Crook was delighted to welcome an investment at his pub, which promised to transform the Four Chesnuts and give it a light, bright and fresh feel.

Michael said: “I’m thrilled with the outcome of this investment; the pub looks fantastic. I’m proud that we can offer a fresh new look, which is inviting to both our guests new and old. These improvements have been a long time coming, and we needed these changes to bring it back to life, I’m pleased to say that it’s done that and more.

“The feedback we’ve received so far has been overwhelming, and I’ve also noticed many new faces here too. I feel a great sense of pride that people are talking about the Four Chesnuts and choosing our pub as a place to visit.”

Michael, who has been in the hospitality industry for over three decades, took on the Four Chesnuts last September, and since then he has strived to make his pub the go to place in the town. His passion is in creating an inclusive and welcoming environment, and with the latest investment, he’s confident that he can put the Four Chesnuts firmly back on the map.

Continuing, he said: “I want the pub to be a place that anybody can call home, to socialise with friends or family, to celebrate or relax. With the latest investment, the pub has the feel of a real local, and it’s this sense of community that makes the Four Chesnuts Chichester’s place to be.”

Guests will have noticed stark changes to the Four Chesnuts, with the pub looking noticeably different thanks to new signage and artwork, and a complete repaint all round. Inside, the flooring has been treated and refreshed and the front and back bar has been improved able to deliver an enormous range of beers, lagers, cocktails, wines and spirits.

Looking ahead to 2025, Michael also has many more ideas to elevate the pub’s appeal including introducing a regular quiz night and live entertainment together with a new food menu inclusive of an indulgent Sunday roast.

Rave reviews have already flooded in for the changes, with guests old and new complementing the Four Chestnuts’ improved atmosphere and new look.

More information about the pub and its upcoming entertainment schedule can be found on the Four Chesnuts’ website or social media pages.
