| Four of us had lunch here on a rainy June day. Staff, quiet and efficient, food, inexpensive but very tasty and well presented. Pub dogs, 2 Springers, great entertainers. If I have a complaint it's a minute one, on the day only one draft on tap but as it was the admirable Shepherd Neame Spitfire, I withdraw the complaint. wilf880 - 7 Jun 2011 15:23 |

| Trust me this is currently the best pub in Battle town itself and rates a "Good" or 7 out of 10. It is run by Rick and Sandra who developed a good reputation in the past in Battle at the Senlac and Chequers. The atmosphere on a Friday evening was relaxed , no music, smart casual, predominantly 30-45 age group 50/50 male/female mix. The decor has been lightened up with wood floors and contemporary furnishings. The food was simple, tasty and inexpensive. At the time I visited they featured a number of guest ales; all in reasonable condition. So,essentially a decent pub ticking all the boxes and professionally run without being especially outstanding in any particular aspect. You'd think not a lot to ask of the other pubs on or off the High St in the historic town Battle but for a number of years now sadly it has been too much to ask. We shall no doubt be back in a month or two and I will post a new report if anything has materially changed. cfowler - 25 Sep 2010 12:58 |
| I was surprised to see this pub has such a low rating, but the last reviews date back at least 18 months before my visit. I don't know what it's like in the evenings (maybe that let it down) but I popped in for a lunchtime pint and possibly a bite to eat while passing through Battle, and found a friendly reception. Not a massive fan of Shep but they had Spitfire and Whitstable on, which I had 2 very drinkable pints of. There's a dining area and large beer garden out the back, and food is expected pub fare, which was pretty good value with a number of veggie options. melita666 - 4 Aug 2010 11:16 |
| My Sussex-living brother having become critically ill we had to immediately go south without researching any BITE reviews in advance. We stayed overnight here and were happy with the pub, beer and clientele. I can only assume its low rating, up to that time the lowest rated establishment I had ever visited, was caused by the local chavs around during the previous management.
