The Ancient Foresters, Bermondsey
Went in here to sing I'm forever blowing bubbles to my suprise they did have it so after getting the pub involved in a good old sing song we got muntered on banana beers, the night unfortunately took a turn for the worse when harry the dog and loads of blokes in surgeons masks turned up and gave us a kicking.
I will come back though.
would of been 10/10 but because of the unsavoury scenes at the end of the night I shall have to mark it down a touch.
9.5/10

people saying they serve a good pint of harveys need to have a reality check. I had the hadlow which was ok at best, I then tried the olympia which was so far gone I wouldn't of given it to a tramp. The rank bar lady almost seemed shocked when I told her it was off, seems to me that they could do with cleaning the lines a bit more often. I'm sure Harveys aren't too happy that one of their flagship pubs is devaluing its product, such a shame as it could be a really nice pub to visit with stunning views of the downs.

was in this pub and enjoyed a few pints of Holsten pils, the purpose of my visit was to visit a sauna in the vicinity however to my disgust the condom machine was out of order, so I had to stay for longer than I anticipated. The bar chap who was rather camp but also very friendly was constantly nipping off out the back, wouldn't like to guess what he was up to, meanwhile the visit took a positive turn when alan carr stephen gately and a freddy mercury lookalike turned up for a game of bar billiards. They all had a great time bopping along to I will survive and some scissor sisters tunes.

Further to Mr Gerbils post regarding the new chef "mr lek" have you wondered why he left the previously very busy office for the dead dyke tavern?
The Office kitchen franchisee had their kitchen shut down due to being unfit to serve the public.
Think about that next time you are tucking into your masaman curry mr Gerbils.

I visit Brighton quite a lot through my work as a marine biologist. And my dear wifes family are related to the Brunswicks so I went here and had a pitcher of pimms and cherryade, apparantly this is this pubs signiture drink. it went down like jurgen klinsman. checked out the jukebox and put on some slipknot which got everyone up boogying and before I knew it I was in the middle of a big mosh pit and then I started crowd surfing. met a couple of blokes called winston and bobo the big black man off monstersofcock.com we went on a bit of a session and ended up in the market diner I asked for the desert menu as I wasn't up for a fry up I had profiteroles and they were very nice.

this pub has to be one of the worst pubs i've ever been in, and ive been in some right dumps. It's like going back 20 years! Bass mild on tap! never ever seen that before. Kids running around the pub with hula hoops at 11pm on a sunday evening! good pool table mind you.

Right I can't believe what has just happenned so my first instinct was to hop of home on my moped and post this here, well firstly I asked what ales were on and was informed that they don't do ales but they do extras out the back, I asked the young lady whos name was Chantelle what she meant but she refused to elaborate, I settled for a pint of Hoffmeister and a bag of nobby nuts, who knows what she means but I saw an older gentleman come out shortly after with chantelle and he looked rather pleased with himself.

Visited this pub as I had to pop into the police station around the corner to get my tag removed and there was a very angry man with a hearing aid and on crutches. Had a pint of black rat and found a few hairs in it and a long tail! maybe the rumours of rodents on the property is true!

I can only reiterate what a wonderful pub this is, i had scampi in a basket and it came out in a washing basket it was huge! must of been about 600 pieces of scampi and for the chips they gave me 2 bags of fries and my own frier to cook it in, I got a 5 litre bottle of taretare sauce and 4 lemons!
absolute sale of the century

i will be down with my chums clive fabio and flavio we are looking to buy poppers are they sold behind the bar here?
and do you sell any absinthes?
don't let flavio and fabio go to the toilet together as they are known to get a bit fruity after a few pints of thatchers.
kind regards jimslip

i feel its only right after everyones been slagging this place off that I set the record straight, I have visited this place on many occasions with moley burtie 6 chins and ricwaa the peado. its a wonderful pub with a wonderful view of the rolling downs and of the river thames. i also once saw a woman give birth to a baby octopuss.

Went into this pub and never again, It looks nice and traditional from the outside but once inside the full horror is revealed, I ordered a well done steak and I think the cow was still alive out the back as I could hear mooing, after waiting 2 hours for my steak it came to me and still had the skin on it, I complained but burtie (who I found out to be the manager) headbutted me to the floor and sammy babes and her brother dave kitson from the local constabulary came along and arrested everyone involved.

this pub is a death trap I was walking past with my lover roland on the eve of christmas eve, when a petrol bomb came flying over and bounced off the window, I will most certainly not be visiting again. Also I had a pint of old scrote and I had a dicky tummy the day after. I think its discraceful.

North Star, Worthing
Popped in here for the usual drink which happens to be sherry and diet coke, met up with the west sussex ramblers association (we usually meet at another pub) First impressions weren't too good there was a cat and a parrot making a horrendous racket, we asked the landlord if he could sort his pets out but he didn't know who they belonged to. So here we were trying to have a meeting and there was a parrot sqwauking and a cat miaowing, never mind I thought so I ordered some food I decided on the ribs with jacket potato and coleslaw, I think there might of been some meat on before it was cooked all I got served was a plate of bones. The landlord looked like she had been beaten up by her husband the night before.
Despite all of this I would return.
