Hi,
I have just joined PH today and this is my first post!
I live very close to Goodwood and have been to FOS most years since it has been going, also the Revival but not as often.
If anyone has any questions about places to stay, eat, drink etc. Being a local I am happy to advise where I can. This event brings a lot of business to our area so it is good in my opinion if the locals help the visitors get the best visit they can!
Cheers
Steve

Whilst I'm not a local, for those staying in central chichester I highly recommend the Nags Head
Nags Head
Eat there many times and found the food and service great, plus there's a very comfy sofa area for chilling after the meal
I would imagine that if you were prepared to drive out of the town, some of the others suggested above may be better, but interested to hear the local's opinions on this?
This year I'm staying literally dead opposite the Earl of March, so it'll be taxi time for me if I want to sample the others
On that note: what are the taxi prices like from East Lavant to Chichester?
There is also the Royal Oak in Lavant which is about a 3 minute walk from the Earl of March. Nags Head

If you are looking for a "real" pub in Chichester then the Fountain in south street is your best bet.

The Gribble in Oving is a good pub, but just a touch too far to stroll in mean stagger from.
Within walking distance of Goodwood itself I think the nearest boozer is probably the Anglsey Arms, then the Royal Oak in Lavant, followed by the Earl of March.
I had an idea to hire field out and organise some camping, a live band and a few barrels of real ale but think it might be too much effort for little reward?

Thats a very good idea but maybe too late and a bit of a ball ache. fair enough if you had your own field and were friends with a mate in a band, friend worked at a brewey etc then could be done for not much money and effort. otherwise you have to start drawing in x amount of people to cover the costs and then your holding an 'event' and theres probably allsorts of rules and laws to consider...
best off meeting up with people on here for a few beers
Perhaps next year I should approach one of the good pubs and see what can be done for PistonHeads?
Anyway, it is all pie in the sky stuff and I still need to finish wading through the Secret Nazi bunker thread on here, I am up to page 198 after about 4 hours reading! jeez!
