The on-site restaurant serves locally sourced dishes, including Full English breakfast with Sussex sausages, eggs, and bacon, alongside ales like London Pride and Seafarers. Guests can enjoy pub entertainment such as live music, a pool table, and a dartboard, while nearby attractions include Arundel Castle (40 minutes' drive), Chichester (10 minutes), and Brighton (40 minutes). Two car parks at the rear provide free parking, though Bognor Regis train station is around 3.2 km away, with bus connections available. The Elmer can accommodate private functions, including weddings and birthdays, with event space available.

“The Elmer distinguishes itself with approachable comfort and attentive service, a genuine warmth extending to four-legged guests. Its location provides a quiet base near Bognor Regis's beaches, convenient for relaxed exploration. I found the cooked-to-order breakfast and accessible pricing particularly compelling, solidifying its appeal as a reliable choice.”
