| Visited this place a couple of weeks ago. Was surprised to see beer from Beachy Head Brewery. The two that I tried were very nice but then you would expect that, being less than a mile from the brewery. However, the staff who served us (two different people) who were very polite drew the pint with the glass sitting on the pump stand and consequently there was a rather large head on our beers. I got a very surprised look when I politely asked for the pints to be topped up. They duly were but I think I detected a certain reluctant attitude BOTH times. I hate having to ask for my full measure, it should be automatic surely. The food looked good and there were plenty of folks eating. Lunch finished at 3PM promptly. The pub is dog friendly too. persist_artist - 26 Aug 2009 13:46 |
| Visited for lunch on a lovely sunny day when the pub was packed, but we only waited 25 minutes or so for the food to arrive. The burger was very good, homemade and served on a nice substantial bun with tasty chips. There was a terrific range of ploughman's on offer, cheddar, brie or stilton, ham, sausages, a pork pie or a scotch egg. But it was a shame you had to opt for one and couldn't mix and match: I'd gladly have paid more to have more than one. Beer fine (Beachyhead was well kept). Lovely setting on the village green. bangdaifu - 9 Aug 2009 22:25 |
| A typical village pub beside the village green and well positioned for visiting the local tourist attractions. Now acting as the brewery tap for Beachy Head Brewery. The Beachy Head beers were rather disappointing and I may have been safer to stick with Harveys. Did not try the food although it seemed to be well presented. Would be willing to try again if in the area. foamy - 4 Aug 2009 18:22 |
| The Tiger Inn has a charming ambience, with an olde world style, if that is your thing. The locals certainly liked it and made repeated attempts to ambush the table we occupied. No matter we thought, at least the food had good reviews and we sat it out...and boy, did we sit. A whole hour passed while we tried to ignore the pointed stares of the locals willing us to return to our alien land (a mere 6 miles down the road!). And when our food finally arrived, it did little to allay our increasing discomfort. It cannot be described as great, even 2 pints later. Its not even very good. My husband ordered a risotto with sundried tomatoes, or so he thought. What arrived was an unidentifiable gloop onto which a deli-pot of sundried tomatoes had been tipped. That was the extent of the presentation, which sadly mirrored the taste. The hour it took to make this strange, mushy dish meant that my steak was served stone-cold and cooked to within an inch of its poor last bit of meat. Perhaps, I thought, ever hopeful, the pepper sauce offered as an extra for a staggering two pounds, would soften the chewiness. Yes, you guessed right - the cheekiness of the chef to pass off the brown slime into which he'd ground some black pepper as a touch of haute cuisine is admirable. We beat a hasty retreat (all 6 miles), leaving the Tiger Inn to its loyal clientele. nami - 28 Mar 2009 01:14 |
| I've just got home after a full day at this fantastic pub. We've been visiting the Tiger for several years now, yes I agree the last couple of years have been worthy of an episode of "Rogue Traders" or "Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmare's" but that's all changed!!!!!!!!! The new landlady has it sussed. Good quality & fantastic value for money food, smiley, happy & welcoming staff, a small yet excellently selected choice of ales, a varied and great value wine list. I mean really, what else is needed? We stopped for a quick drink, not knowing it was under new management that was at 1pm, after a few ales, one or two more, then one for the road, we left at gone 10pm having made new friends, stumbling about on the green in the name of football and laughing more than we've done in years. Without doubt the best day out we've had in ages, thanks Jo for your hospitality and all I can say to you Stuart is the food was excellent (and you're a bloody lucky man!!! ) Good luck, we'll see you soon. maidmarrion - 19 Mar 2009 23:26 |
