This used to be THE local to go to in Alfriston, and as such used for many years.
Under the new ownership of the last 2 to 3 years the range of ales and food has improved : sadly the speed of food service has not always kept up. We find this usually to be good at lunchtimes, but of an evening has twice been SO slow.
Still held by many regulars in very high regard, including those travelling in a long way to take in the atmosphere.
Beware the arrival of coach parties in the summer.
Pleasant garden out at the back.

It just occurred to me to give you all a warning (or maybe a nice surprise). Mobile phone signals are virtually no-existent here so don't forget to pre-book a taxi if you need one.

Oh yeah, by the way, I still like this pub; its one of the few places around here that do Dark Star Hophead.

Great pub came here after being treated in a disgusting fashion at the Wingrove down the road and found this to be a welcoming friendly place. Good food and reasonable drinks. Great beer garden(s) and live music.

This pub is in a prime location but there is something about it that doesn't work. The beer is generally good but the service is not the most welcoming. The food is fine for straightforward meals e.g. scampi & chips but anything more adventurous often ends in disaster but it is reasonably cheap. This could be a great pub but has a mixed reputation locally and needs to pull its socks up.

Walked here from Seaford a while ago. It was PIE WEEK as regards the menu, when we visited and my wife loved the curried pidgeon pie. My lunch was also very good. The ales were superb, they had Timmy Taylors Landlord on when we were there, one of my favourites and it was spot on. This place seems better value for money than at least one of the other pubs in the town and gets my vote. Quite conveniently there is a bus stop outside; the bus goes to Seaford so it saved us walking. I reckon the other pubs will have to go some to beat this. I might not bother trying them now though.
