| Visited again recently. Management seem to be trying to redress the understaffing issue and I was served promptly and helpfully. Still limited range of ales, but well kept. Once again, if you can visit out of peak times then you will most probably be glad you did. ParsonDarby - 2 Jan 2012 21:06 |
| Pub with roaring fire in excellent location by Cuckmere River. Excellent pint of Harveys Best. Also served mulled cider which smelt nice. Food was all right and served within 10 minutes. Pub has lots of bad reviews so perhaps I was lucky. Robin_from_Swanage - 13 Dec 2011 21:11 |
| On the plus side: outstanding location and a variety of seating. Roaring fire in winter. Negatives- always too few staff on duty with resultant irritable customers who can't get served. Food reasonable but can vary. Orderd Garlic cibatta here in February and was given brown Hovis (!) with no apology. Even the battle-hardened manager was nonplused at that one. Beer 2 ales, always Harvey's Best but tends to run out at prime times and staff are too busy to change barrels. Usually a guest beer worth trying. If you can visit when its not too busy then sit back and enjoy the views. ParsonDarby - 21 Jun 2011 13:11 |
| Went here on a Saturday evening, surprisingly quiet for some reason. Staff were ok, certainly nothing to write home about. Waitress didn't ask if food was ok at any point (though she'd probably learnt not to) All food turned up in 10 minutes, which is good for speed purposes, but not too good if you're trying to hide the fact they're basically microwave meals. Hotpot arrived warmish in a clearly chipped and cracked dish which the waitress did throw away afterwards, but why no-one noticed before is anyone's guess. Two members of our party had a Chicken and ham pie which had 1cm squared of ham in one, and about 3cm squared in the other. Overall, food very expensive for what is essentially pretty much the same stuff out the bag as you can get in the Plough (in Seaford town centre) for half the price. newda898 - 14 Jan 2011 10:52 |
| The location of the pub ensures it's busy at peak times even though there is a lot of space inside. Disappointing choice of beer - only 2 ales on, and the young staff were obviously struggling with the number of people. Floyd - 2 Jan 2011 17:07 |
