user reviews of the New Inn, Uckfield

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

I call in here sometimes. The landlord is a bit of a character. This pub is pretty much unchanged for the last 50 years, at least, which is a good thing in my book. I tell my grown up kids to enjoy this pub while they can, it's one of a dying breed. Think 'Harvester' at one end of the pub scale, this is at the other end. No food, no carpets, no brass numbers on the tables, very basic but I've never had a bad pint there. Friendly locals and a popular pub with the traction engine crowd. Be there first week-end in June. You will see what I mean.

Popped in for a beer on an scheduled stop-off due to our tour organizer realizing it was listed as a heritage pub.

The signs on the outside aren't promising - the paintwork is peeling and the pub sign is falling apart. When you venture inside, you find a similar story. There's a lot of dilapidation in the main big front bar that needs addressing, the old bits of wood, real fire and ancient brewania don't really compensate for the fact that the place is a bit of a dump - it needs a lot of TLC (just a lick of paint would be a start) but there is a nice pub waiting to spring out as some of the photos above testify. Oddly, he only part of the place which has been done up to any great degree is the back room, which only hosts a pool table which takes up all the space - so much for the drinkers!

Beer -wise, there were two ales on; Harveys Sussex Best (average) and a Tom Woods (Bomber County I think) which went off almost immediately when we arrived. No great shakes.

All in all, I could only say it's worth popping in for a swift half at present but I really hope that someone can take hold of this place and turn it into the pub it could and should be.

Nearly empty on a Friday night with just a few friendly locals. It is in the National Inventory of Historic Pubs and is well worth visiting, but for how much longer I wonder as only one bar was open. Quality of the beer reasonable.
