Welcome to The Crown

The life and soul of Selsey

Situated in the heart of Selsey village, The Crown has been an inviting spot for locals and holidaymakers for over 150 years. Whether you are catching up with friends, enjoying family time or heading back from the beach, this is the place the whole town ends up.

Freshly prepared meals are served every day of the week, from traditional pub grub to gourmet burgers, ribs and sharing platters. And when the sun goes down the Garden Stage comes alive, with live bands, DJs and summer festivals that pull crowds from across the peninsula.

Dogs are welcome, kids have their own play area, and the cocktails are two for one all day, every day.
