I wouldn't stroll round to his digs asking for a Mars bar unless you actually want it inserted at high velocity.
The Earl Of March is quite a few miles out of Chichester on the A286 road to Midhurst, you're not getting there in a normal tender - maybe a DUKW - but the scenery on that road is glorious, whenever going along there ( also the way to Singleton museum with ancient houses ) I always think ' if I had to show Americans a typical best of England, this is it '.
The actual Earl Of March pub looks very plain and boring from the outside - but I've noticed it's the meeting place for the Ferrari Owners Club so presumably has a lot going for it behind the door - a few good pubs on that road inc the Greyhound towards Midhurst and the Spread Eagle hotel in the town, not exactly in rowing distance from a boat in Chichester but if you can lock the tender and get a taxi...
Of the places mentioned The Richmond Arms at West Ashling was always great but I heard Roger who plastered the place with duck motifs* has moved on, no idea what it's like now but probably good, a place has to be to survive around there.
* We used to visit the Richmond Arms regularly in the late 1980's, they hold a duck race for charity, down the mill stream next door.
I remember entrant decoy ducks including one from the local magistrate named ' The Beak ' and another - this was when the New Zealanders were duffing up Dennis Connor in Stars and Stripes at the Americas Cup - the duck had a skirt around the lower section ' hiding the secret keel '
