| I'd not been in for a few years; the place has changed, been brightened up inside, seemingly opened-up a bit too as far as I can recall it how it was. It was quite busy on Friday night, clearly with locals up at the bar, but all friendly enough. For Hall & Woodhouse (not my favourite ales), the Badger was okay. Ordinary - 17 Aug 2008 18:27 |

| Get Badger beer in a glass with the title 'Land of hops and glory', amusing play on words there. They show football here (albeit TV-in-the-corner rather than big-screen football) but you are not expected to be passionate about it. This even applies to The Football Quiz, maybe people are too absorbed in the silliness of it to get excited about it. They do get passionate about what they talk about here though. Slightly older clientele on the whole but younger people welcome, unlike some pubs in the area. Think people get to know each other a bit in here, as it seems like that kind of pub, but would need to go more often to be certain. Will2 - 13 Sep 2005 01:30 |
| Over the busy main road, a few hundred yards further down The Bishopric and next to the site of what used to be the King and Barnes Brewery, we find this traditional and unspoilt black-beamed pub. It is claimed in the Sussex Good Pub Guide 2004 (Southern Promotions publications) to be at least 600 years old, although its GBG entries during the early 1980s and mid 1990s variously date it to the 16th and 18th centuries. Unlike less fortunate places that have been subject to ‘improvements’ by knocking out dividing walls, it retains its two bar layout. To the right is a cosy and compact ‘public bar’ with a real fire and comfy chair, wall seats, gaming machines, and TV tuned to the live coverage of the Sheffield United versus Aston Villa third round FA Cup tie. On the left is a smaller, more sedate ‘saloon’ with dark wood tables and chairs, another real fire, and a mini TV showing the racing. Three regular customers sit consulting the racing pages of their papers. There is also a dartboard, comfy wall seats and old photos on the walls taken about a hundred years ago depicting local pubs The Swan, The Castle, The Beehive, and The Dog and Bacon (all but the latter now demolished), plus another of the Kings Arms itself around the 1970s. Another ex-King and Barnes pub, the complete Hall and Woodhouse range is now offered – Badger Best Bitter, King and Barnes Sussex Bitter, Tanglefoot and Festive Pheasant. I have a half of the Pheasant, and on my second visit a Badger Best. As with the Green Dragon, there is a current Cask Marque certificate and the beer here is very nice, with the bonus that it costs 10p less than I paid in that previous place. thequaffer - 14 Apr 2005 14:48 |
