| Cracking pub, super landlord and lady and staff who made me and my girlfriend feel like regulars on our first visit, went back the next day and couldn't get in the door, was rammed with the rugby on, amazing atmosphere, came back later in the evening. Lovely Harveys beers kept well and full of nice friendly regulars and large food portions and a bulldog!!, This is everything a pub should be. Definitely worth a visit if you are down Eastbourne way. rovers74 - 5 Feb 2012 14:07 |
| When people think of a traditional town pub this is the sort of place they have in mind. A large but intimate Victorian building with high ceilings and a central bar governed by a large and friendly old school landlord. The service is top class - warm, friendly, chatty, and customer focused. The people here really like their customers, really like their pub, and are clearly confident, proud and comfortable. There is a wonderful atmosphere throughout the pub. The customers are all relaxed and friendly. There are four handpumps - all Harvey's ales. I visited three times and the beers were in top class condition except for my first visit when the Old Ale was a bit vinegary. The front room appears to be two or three rooms knocked together to form a horseshoe shape around the central bar. There are comfy armchairs and tables for drinking, eating and chatting, and some standing area near the bar to watch major sport events on TV. Walk either way round the bar to reach a small back room with a snooker table, and then through to a back yard beer garden which is a bit of a sun trap. The pub is clean, in excellent condition, and has plenty of character. Look out for the Victorian pennies round the bar! Food is excellent value, with a good range of home cooked and tasty meals, and veggies are well catered for. This is not only better quality, but better value than Wetherspoons. We had huge portions of veggie bangers and mash, with a big boat of veggie gravy from which to serve ourselves. £5.95 - which I think is the same price as Wetherspoons, and we got twice as much, and the mash was freshly made. The beer is London prices - £3 for a pint of 4% Harvey's Best. But I'd rather pay a little bit more and have both my beer and my pub in good condition. This is almost a perfect pub. One beer not being in good condition, lack of a sufficient quiet area, no decent views from the beer garden, etc, keep me from scoring 10. But by heck, this is close. SilkTork - 24 Oct 2011 11:47 |

| After leaving Buskers Bar was glad to be pointed in the direction of this gem. What a pub should be. BILL77 - 19 Sep 2011 14:26 |
| Harvey's Tom Paine on draught was excellent as was the chilli con carne. Well worth a few minutes walk from the town centre. Pistol - 30 Jul 2011 09:16 |
