| I first visited this pub in the summer of 2006. Returning very recently, I noticed that it appeared to have undergone some refurbishment since 2006 (there were previously some odd wall paintings in the back garden, but these have now been removed). Overall I found it a very pleasant, comfortable place, with a nice range of ales (Doom Bar, Harvey's and Heart of Rother, plus one other I don't remember). I also found the service very friendly. beermann - 9 Sep 2010 20:15 |
| I have some doubts about this place. The beer was good but the staff off hand. The girl behind the bar was moaning about being on her own, moaning about the kitchen, moaning about delays in serving food. She was missing for 2-3 minutes at a time ; I saw punters walk out either because they had got tired waiting to see a person appear behind the bar or put off by her abrupt manner. Seems to be a popular CAMRA pub; not sure why. GrahamH - 21 Jun 2010 22:21 |
| Friendly pub with a good selection of beer and some good pub food. The bars are comfortable and the large settees very welcome after a walk from Eastbourne. Room was fine as I was staying on my own but was pretty basic - it did the job though. The staff were great and seem to be really trying hard and I felt very welcome. Cooked english breakfast was one of the best I have ever had! chew - 28 May 2010 15:18 |
| Locals bar at the front separated from the dining areas that wind their way out the back to the large conservatory room. Quite pleasant to sink in to one of the two low sofas in front of the roaring fire. Dark Star Hophead, Harveys Best, TT Landlord and Doombar are on offer, the first two were in cracking condition. The Old Rosie cider pump was not in use. Efficient and friendly bar staff. GazzaTheBeerMan - 17 May 2010 11:42 |
| 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. legs2x11 - 17 Jan 2010 22:28 |
