Great pub right next to the railway station. Pubs like that often attract a dodgy crowd but The Foundry seems really relaxed and friendly with nice decor too. Recommended.

Title: Discrimination and UnprofessionalismReview:I recently visited the foundry and unfortunately had an extremely disappointing experience. Upon entering, I was immediately subjected to discrimination for simply wearing a hat. The staff's attitude towards me was unwelcoming and hostile, making me feel uncomfortable throughout my time there. Additionally, the atmosphere was tainted by their unprofessional behavior.Furthermore, the lack of empathy and understanding towards my personal circumstances, such as my hair loss, only added to the negative experience. It's disheartening to be treated with such disrespect in a place that should be inclusive and accommodating to all patrons.I strongly advise against visiting this establishment if you value respect and professionalism. Discrimination has no place in any establishment, and it's unfortunate that the foundry fails to uphold these basic principles.

The most disgusting filthiest place I've ever been in. Staff don't care and are so slow at serving. Tables are left covered with empty glasses and bottles, also soaked with spilt drinks. The toilets are a swimming pool of piss and god knows what! How this place is allowed to operate is beyond me! Would of given it 0 stars if I could.

I bought a double vodka orange for the drink to be spilt and had to repay for a drink that got spilt that wasn’t my fault. The manager of the pub was very rude towards me and was very confrontational and made me (the customer) feel very uncomfortable with the situation and a solution was not met, which management in any department should be able to be deal with and they did not so I was very disappointed and upset by the treatment I received and I would not come here again.

Manager Sean definitely not a friendly one or professional by any standards. Not a very autism friendly place either. I have both ADHD and Asperger’s very eager and committed guy who knows my place and I’m an aspiring chef de partie at present. I find it impossible to read social cues as quickly as others so didn’t realise he literally didn’t care for any conversation even with an AD out saying “Staff Wanted” he proceeded to say he had no jobsAfter being denied a glass of water by my former finally sacked 2nd boss of smith and western the previous one was amazing I was expected to miss my last train for effect and entertainment and manipulation scaremongering tactics as we all became aware of Phillip Ericksons predatory past and court case for the death of Bethany skinner. He did everything to belittle anyone who learned of his sick behaviour and her drowning and His former butlins lifeguard role and manipulation of Bethany before her death. I was desperate to leave my former jobI came here just past midnight to ask for a glass of water and was told I knew I was barred when I was never informed met with a terrade of abuse and accused of harassment.But anyway Sean gave me a terrade of abuse and openly yelled I wouldn’t give you a job anyway on the street gone midnight with scores of people around based on the fact he could clearly tell I’m autistic anyway and illegally couldn’t picture himself wanting an autistic employee especially me. He thought this would destroy me but it hasnt in the slightest.Originally I assumed he mistook me for someone else he previously ejected due to a busy night and tried to approach him a good month later but the same abuse followed yet again with him happy to try humiliate me on the streetIt’s a good job I’ve been accepted into fullers and been offered 2 apprenticeships in the last 16 months and my colleges feel like family. I live in the pub too with a beautiful room and lots of privacy to focus on guitar and saxophone and hobbies and I’m off a horrible council estate finally and almost ready to get on the property ladder so I’m not doing too bad for an autistic selfI’ll just leave this here

Seriously poor service here, the staff really do lack basic people skills and i recommend to them that they move on to a job with zero contact with the public.They are more interested in huddling together in a corner of the bar looking at there phones or flirting with there mates than doing there job!!When you do get served, you are made to feel extremely unwelcome, no smiles, no manners, then the card reader just shoved in your face!!!!No hat policy is a joke!!!This pub is in a great location and could be amazing but aslong as they keep employing childish teenagers to work here its always going to be a very unpleasant place to visit.

Nice pub. Just out side Chichester train station. Make it your stop before going shopping. Friendly staff and great atmosphere.

As some reviews have mentioned, I also got charged twice for my drink! Even though I showed the bar staff proof of the double charge, they said that I had only been charged once, which wasn’t true. I understand that mistakes happen but having shown proof I don’t believe this to be acceptable.
I did just get charged twice for my drink and when I showed them proof they said I did not roasted. New years ruined ? (£14 on a pint)

Very nice pub. Down by the station, we stopped in for a swift half before taking the train. Friendly, spacious, popular with locals. We didn't eat, but many others did, and the food was obviously very tasty, large portions too.

Just awful, I came in her Saturday night with some friends. There were many people that had been over served and were falling down drunk all over the place, drug deals happening In plain sight, but the worst thing by far was the gents toilets. A litrally river of piss flowing across the door, no lock on the toilet door, people throwing up in the urinals and sinks, on the plus side the beer garden was ok.

Pooped in for a couple of drinks after Fontwell, lovely warm welcome from the 2 ladies behind the bar. Lovely atmosphere, reasonably priced drinks. Hopefully see you again soon ???

Ordered food. Was worse than eating at wetherspoons. Gravy on sausage and mash was so watery it was like instant gravy made with water. Burgers were so overcooked ot was like a tough piece of leather. Staff too busy chatting to serve in decent time. Ordered mulled wine and took 20 minutes to arrive. Had to go ask at the bar twice where it was. First and kast visit to this pub
