Sussex, Hoveback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
I like the place. It has always been the same for the past 30 years or so. A good place to meet and chat. It has always been popular. Well worth a visit.

Have to say I agree with the consensus of the last four comments.
- it does feel like a Travel Lodge [that’s a bad thing]
- it does feel like a Weatherspoons [a very bad thing]
- service can be a bit ropey/surly
Last time myself and friends went in there it was coming towards the end of the night so the bar staff switched off the half of the lights. This would have been okay if 2 men and 2 women weren't using the toilets at that point. When the bar staff were questioned as to what they were doing they poorly feigned surprise. Im surprised it stays open to be honest.

a bit like a wetherspoons - but not as clean and with less ale selection. However it is cheap, and you can actually see the sea from some points. ok if you're desperate/skint. Oh, nice garden/orangerie out back.

Went in here today for some lunch (1pmish)
Plate stone cold, chips and peas obviously re-cooked (at this time of day?), pie almost acceptable (hint, guys: re-heating pies in a microwave generally buggers up the pastry)
For almost £7, not very good vfm.
Pleasant beer garden though
However, could be so much better

like a (rather grand) travel inn lobby.

DON'T GO TO THIS PUB!!! I couldn't believe it - I've been going here on and off for the past ten years. Tonight was the final of the cricket world cup - we WERE looking forward to it. Other half (South African) moved a newspaper out the way when I was ordering drinks and the next thing I know we are not to be served. Ridiculous. We had already been chatting to people at the bar about the cricket score. Oddly enough, the land lord we had never set eyes on before was with some "friends"...........who knows...........who cares..............We wont be returning,,,,,,,,,,up to you.............

Has THE best beer garden!! From 12:00 until about 3:00pm it's a complete suntrap. Good for watching cricket and rugby as Chaz is a big fan.
