The Richmond Arms
About
The Richmond Arms is a distinctive country pub, restaurant and boutique bed‑and‑breakfast tucked in the idyllic village of West Ashling in West Sussex. Nestled at the edge of the South Downs National Park and overlooking the gentle waterways of Chichester Harbour, it offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere for locals and visitors alike. The kitchen focuses on locally sourced produce – fresh seafood, game and vegetables cooked with a modern twist – and farmers’ market‑style dishes that change regularly with the seasons. Above the restaurant are two luxurious en‑suite bedrooms, each with a king‑size bed, contemporary country décor and full‑service amenities such as flat‑screen TVs, a deep roll‑top tub and blackout blinds. A continental breakfast is served in the rooms and guests can enjoy the tranquillity of the surrounding footpaths and breathtaking views of the Downs. For those wanting to stay longer, the rooms enjoy a two‑night minimum and are available directly through the site or by contacting the team by phone or email. The pub also offers a selection of fine wines, craft ales and classic ciders in a cosy bar setting, making it an ideal spot for both casual drinks and a relaxed dining experience.
