| This is more of a restaurant than a pub. Lots of atmosphere and a good menu. The food was generally excellent BUT one meal was inedible as the meat was dangerously raw. Cyclotic - 15 Jul 2011 14:58 |
| Wonderful setting and a building of interest to match- much of it given over to food meaning the rest of us having to cram shoulder-to-shoulder in the diminutive bar- but with 33 or so pubs closing a week- of course there are less places thus capacity problems. A choice of three ales on tap, the Sussex we tried was very well kept and flavoursome. The highlight of this pub is that the great man Larry Olivier used to hang out in here and get bladdered when not interpreting the bard- there is a plaque outside to commerate this, only ruined by the fact they had to include the great event of paul 'have a crack at every art form' McCartney who apparently filmed that chronic pop drivel 'simply having a wonderful crassmas time' in here- i'd say forget the Beatles and stick to the Sussex. Food not sampled so jury is out. alezilla - 11 Jun 2011 23:57 |
| The pub I first over did it in on the cider. Rode back on to Partridge Green on my AP50, had to go back the next day to pick my crash helmet up. Those were the days. It is splendid in the summer, and must be good to have survived. There aren't enough locals to keep it going, so for a pub in the middle of nowhere you can only drive to, they must be doing something right. lumponmyhead - 1 May 2011 23:56 |
| Visited last Thursday evening. Great pint of Directors and Harveys Sussex Best was also good. Easy going atmosphere. in1dryboy - 3 Apr 2011 19:47 |
| Nice country pub with a duck pond outside. Three real ales were on - Hepworth Classic Old Ale, Harveys Sussex Best & Hogsback Tea. A fourth pump with Fullers London Pride was off, whilst a cask for gravity-dispensed beer was being readied. The cider was Stowford Press. An open log fire makes the front bar pleasant. There is also a cosy bar at the rear and two further rooms to the left hand side on entering. The barman was pleasant. But he didn't seem too clear on what was actually stocked. Many of the clientele were rather pompous and were there for the food. The menu did look quite tempting. A nice country pub, with a relaxing atmosphere. blue_scrumpy - 30 Jan 2011 16:49 |
