| great staff, great beer and what a scotch egg :) lovely stuff. keep it up! DanLeyland - 12 Apr 2011 14:46 |
| This pub has been refurbished to a high standard. My impression is that they wiould like to concentrate on food. Didnt eat here but it looked Ok but upmarket and priced accordingly. 8 hand pumps serving beersmainly from Sussex but all from South East including Arundel, Ballards, Dark Star, Hepworths & Ramsgate Breweries. All between £3.40 - £3.60. I suppose they need to pay for the refurbishment somehow! Worth a visit but I could not afford to spend a whole evening there. foamy - 25 Mar 2011 11:41 |
| Brings a quality pub to the area at last. I have seen numerous changes to this pub over the years, none of which have really worked, at least for me. The new owners seem to have created something that fits, and it's now largely a pleasure to go and have a quality pint in there. Upsides: good choice of real ale; smart environment, both inside and outside; food looks good, plenty of seating; no football, SKY TV, gaming machines etc. Downsides: ale is expensive; service is often slow and frustrating, especially when busy; music frequently too loud, oddly, some of the bench type seating lacks depth from front to back.....

| OK for a chain pub. Pretty good range of real ales. I had Adur's Ropetackle which was excellent but expensive at £3.40. WipersTom - 7 Jan 2011 18:55 |
| As stated in my earlier post, this pub has recently been closed for refurbishment. It has been acquired by the Indigo Pub Company, who own other pubs in Brighton & Hove, including The Queen's Head, Temple Bar and The Wick Inn. The pub has a similar atmosphere, pricing and beer range as the other Indigo pubs. Therefore, it is expensive - £3.40-3.60 for a pint of ale. The Indigo website advertises a range of ales from Darkstar and the Langham Brewery in their pubs. This was not the case here during my Christmas Eve visit. There was only one offering from Darkstar (Old Chestnut), two from the Adur Brewery and three from Hepworth Brewery. I had the Hepworth Old Ale, which I found not a patch on Harveys equivalent. Things weren't much better for lager drinkers. Only Grolsch, Carling and the £4+ Cobra on draft. Overall, I can see this pub being a great success, as Indigo generally do a great job and the Brighton crowd seem to love their pubs. However, personally I'd prefer somewhere a little less polished where image is less important than the quality of the lager/ale range. benz104 - 28 Dec 2010 15:33 |
