Both the Royal Oak and The Ship are excellent with views over Chichester Harbour.

Seconded ... apart from the parking at Royal Oak !!!! and turning back onto Hayling Causeway road !!!!
The views arent that good but the pubs are reasonable for Chichester Harbour

I presume the 'sea wall' you refer to is by the Ship ? Be very careful going alongside there in a cruiser. My mooring of the last 32 years is just offshore on the Chichester side, we from Langstone SC don't go near the wall without having a look first at low water, to see what the latest contribution in the way of concrete blocks, upright steel pipes, traffic cones & Tesco trolleys is...
The area is great, but do watch that wall...
If anchoring beware the soft mud shallows off the Ship wall to the East, not much space to put a hook down; there's a channel to the Ship parallel to the bridge side, about 50' wide.
It's about 15 mins walk from Northney Marina, probably the best way to visit.
There's a good beachside walk all the way to Emsworth through a small nature reserve,then through Warblington churchyard; it begins at the Ship, but impassable there at HW, when one needs to go up the Royal Oak lane ( Langstone High street ).
The Ship food is good average, most locals studiously avoid the expensive 'specials' and stick to the printed menu if just looking for a 'normal' meal.
The place is quite busy at lunchtimes throughout the week, a favourite for business meets.
The Royal Oak is more for locals, always had a poor reputation for food but may well have improved.
Both are nice, old pubs though the interiors get revamped every so often; if at all possible, get upstairs in the Ship.
On Saturday lunchtimes ( not August) the limited but VERY good value volunteer run galley in Langstone SC is open, visitors are rare but welcome.
There's an Indian 1 mile away in Havant, ( easily spotted in high street, on the left ) but more suited to a racing boat crew than a first date !
Havant is best avoided on weekend evenings - seriously -, no reason to go there when the Ship and 'Oak are handy.
Lots of good pubs and a world class fish & chippie - head towards rail station - in Emsworth, several mile walk or short taxi ride - recommend the Bluebell ( book meals ) or Lord Raglan - good food & value - at Eastern end by millpond.
Taken at Low Water, obviously - NB The narrow channel alongside the road bridge; I'd definitely recommend Northney Marina for a first visit and recce', particularly if in a deep keeled boat.
Langstone S.C, Tel - 02392 484577 - to centre of shot, the Ship Inn to the right; photo' facing North West.

Of course one should always check the ground beforehand but if there are obstructions then put pressure on the HM to clear it - it worked for me and I dried out overnight with no problem.
Incidentally, could you organise a few splashes of green paint on the last post before reaching the quay?
And did you know that the air draft of the bridge is more than charted?
