Local Pubs and Restaurants

The Crab and Lobster in Sidlesham is set in a beautiful hamlet, a 15-minute drive away. Where possible, the menu is sourced from local producers, Selsey fishermen and neighbouring dairy farmers and fish is their speciality. More of a restaurant than a pub this is our favourite place to eat. Mid week lunch set menu particularly good value.
