| Used to like coming here when they had bar billiards - a good many years ago. tommo5 - 4 Aug 2011 16:26 |
| THIS PUB IN ITS CURRENT FORM IS AT RISK I have been frequenting this establishment for a period of 20 odd years. During this time I have experienced a few momentous events - I met my wife here, I visited on my stag night, I now bring my children here on a weekend and they play with the landlord's young daughter whilst mum and dad chat with friends. Mitchells and Butler have applied for planning permission to make major changes to the pub which in my opinion will have a severely detrimental effect on the pub. The regulars are aware of the proposals and are 100% against them. Having read the planning papers, it seems to me that head office want to turn this pub into something that it is not. This pub is a community pub frequented by an extremely diverse range of people - part of the rich tapestry that make up traditional country/ village pubs. The consequences of the planned changes are that a well respected and well liked landlord will possibly lose the home he has occupied for 15 years where he has brought up his children, the youngest of which is only 7 years of age. Mitchells and Butlers seem to think they can turn the pub into some kind of food orientated pub - all I can say to M and B is that you may win a few food customers who come in once a month and spend £50 but you'll lose the large number of customers who come in EVERY night and spend £10 - £15. Its not difficult to do the mathematics. M and B, please think again! Actuaryman - 31 Mar 2011 21:54 |
| Lovely food - very comfortable atmosphere - music at rear and pool table. 2 always Heated smokers area - wonderful staff. Manager's really genuine. Great place for an enjoyable evening. BEER is not expensive and the range is very well thought out from local Harveys (well kept) to London Pride - always a good pint whatever you have. Comfy sofa half way through to sink into after a hard day at work. Great mix of punters, very relaxed - never any trouble. Well worth a visit if local or out of town. pintalot - 14 Feb 2010 13:24 |
| With Harvey's at £2.20 and Greene King IPA at £1.99 a pint, this must be one of the cheapest pubs in the area. However, the beer quality (I only tried the Harvey's) was only average southdown12jack - 22 Sep 2008 10:38 |
| Comes a very poor third out of pubs in the centre of Lindfield (I don't count the White Horse, it's a restaurant). Bland, chainey and soul-less. Do yourself a favour and cross the road for some great real ale and charm in the Stand Up or walk up the High St to the Bent Arms for a more authentic village pub serving better food. pipsby - 18 Feb 2008 16:58 |
