Park Tavern, Chichester

Our party of eight had an average Sunday dinner.The vegetables were nice but (my) lamb was more fat than meat. We'd waited an hour before it was served.I wasn't really happy about dining with a couple of (docile)dogs roaming around ,particularly as the bulldog was flatulent. We would have liked a dessert but although the staff kept coming past they then seemd to be distracted and didn't take our order. One of our party didn't get his coffee either but he didn't tell us until later. After paying, one of our group had a gentle 'word in the landlord's ear' as we didn't want to alert others to the problems we'd experienced . This resulted in a Basil Fawlty type scenario. He very loudly asked what on earth he was meant to do about our unsatisfactory experience as the staff were untrained.The volume of this, to our surprise, brought forth an angry chef. Just a quiet apology was what we'd expected. None of us would dine there again nor would we recommend it on the basis of our experience.Our ages varied from 60's down to 20's and we all felt the same.Customer service is definitely not one of this pub's assets.
