| I should like to increase my rating for this pub, and here is why: Last Thursday I popped in for a quick pint after a cycle ride. I selected the Harveys Sussex Bitter but while the barmaid was pulling the pint, the barrel ran out. She asked me if I would mind waiting and I said I wouldn't. She called the guvnor who went to change the barrel. he then pulled through a quantity of beer before sampling it and holding it up to the light to check the quality. he did this a couple of times.The barmaid then pulled me a completely fresh pint and when I proffered the money she declined to accept it, saying that I had had to wait while they changed the barrel. How refreshingly different from many other pubs I could mention when this happens, where there is no attempt to change the barrel (or it is changed but not pulled through properly)and an alternative is offered, often costing more, with no apology. The beer from the new barrel was excellent by the way. I wasn't there for a meal or to spend lots of money yet I was treated like a valued customer - I will be back on the strength of this ecellent customer service. Ordinary - 29 Jun 2008 22:58 |
| I have been visiting the Black Jug more over the last few weeks and it definitely seems to be improved. I think this is mainly down to the staff, who seemed more focused on customer service and less focused on having fun with each other. Ale selection is very good. It is still expensive, but not much more than the Bedford and without the Sky Sports experience. Much better! Moses - 23 Apr 2008 14:45 |
| What a great pub....the first one we got to after the sport relief run. Friendly, efficient staff, great food, slightly expensive, mind, but well worth it. Apple crumble was delicious. Wine was fabulous and they seemed to have a huge range of beers on tap. And a log fire was VERY welcome on such a cold,rainy, miserable day. My first visit to Horsham was worth it.I might well be back if in the area again. leityij - 16 Mar 2008 20:37 |
| Relatively upmarket, food-oriented pub. Good for what it is, though not really my type of pub. Six ales on handpump with a good variety of brewers featured, ales were in good nick too. Rich66 - 16 Dec 2007 10:53 |
| Without doubt, THE most expensive pub in Horsham. Normally a good selection of ales, but not all well kept. Staff can be very snooty, but some are genuinely helpful. Gets very busy on weekend evenings and can be a nightmare to get served, but on the plus side - you don't get any idiots/oiks un there. Food is overrated, but better than most pubs in Horsham (that's not saying much!) I don't think it deserves to be Horsham's (only) entry in the Good Pub Guide. It's OK, but not wonderful. Did I mention it is expensive??? Moses - 16 Nov 2007 16:09 |
