Dearly beloved,
I feel like Winter came in with a bang this week! We had a little blizzard down here and today it's too cold and windy to go out! I'm hoping that this Friday coming is going to be a lot nicer as it's party time!
Don't forget that you are invited to a late Birthday/early Christmas do at?The Wittering, West Wittering on Friday 29th November, between 4-7pm.
They have a cracking Happy Hour on Fridays and Saturdays, drinks 2 for 1 which impressed me and Hayley when we checked it out earlier in the year (and let's just say we may have, at one time, been Happy Hour experts).
They also (and I didn't know until I called them to check) have HEATED beach chalets in the garden and BLANKETS!!! So it should be cosy whatever the weather. We will be in the main bar or outside (their other bar has a private event - don't wander in and think it's us! It's probably someone's wedding!)
I'll be meeting up with a couple of people slightly earlier, maybe even having a wander on the beach to watch the sunset, weather dependent, so you can always try to catch up with us, or just wait for us in the bar!
They also do food, which is very good, a lot of high quality local fare. If you're watching the pennies, they also do a small portion fish n chips which at ￡10.50 (last time I checked) is good value and actually enough for me!
If you're driving, The Wittering car park is free, just put your registration number in when you arrive.
If you want to drive to the West Wittering Car Park and watch the sunset first, parking is around ￡3.50 this time of year (discount if you prebook I believe) but you MUST leave the car park by 6pm.
There is one hour parking on the road outside The Wittering, until 5/6pm and then it's free all night. In short, way easier and cheaper than in the summer!
If you're coming by bus, it's even easier as the 52/53 stops right outside - sometimes the stop sign still shows up as The Old House at Home, which is the old name of the pub. Single tickets are ￡2 each way and cheaper than returns. The 52 goes from Chichester train station via East Wittering and the 53 comes to West Wittering first, but they both do the same loop. Just be careful that you don't get on the bus at the bus station BEFORE it's done it's Chichester City loop, you'll end up down here eventually, but you'll get to see the big Christmas tree first!
Hope you can join us, I also have a few little Xmas gifts, but only a few, so the first people to RSVP "Yes!" will get first dibs!
Oh - one final thing!!! (I sound like the Tourist Board!) If you want to stay over and make a weekend of it (sorry, I don't have that much room in my flat!) The Wittering also does rooms and even apartments. I have never stayed there, but I have stayed many times before I moved here at The Beach House.?https://www.beachhse.co.uk/?I do find it's not the quietest place because of the way it's built, but I still love it. They also have accessible and dog friendly accommodation. And their breakfast is awesome!
Lots of love, Pearl
