The Jolly Boatman, Newhaven

Now changed hands, Francis and family have gone to Spain.
New Landlady very friendly, seems as if she was not told about the pubs usual activities, so jazz not regular at the moment.
Still the same sort of choice for beers, which is a good thing, I hope it stays that way.
The only downside was the removal of the lace curtains, giving the place the look of a goldfish bowl.

The Pond, Brighton

Reading the previous comment, I can only say that it has not been done up in the 3 years since robamy visited, it is a dreary place.
My wife popped in for the singing, and was charged £2 for half a shandy, and she was told that Mark, a long time bl**dy good barman, had been sacked by Pat, the boss/owner, for having time off with an upset stomach.
Only Hophead on, the other ale being undrinkable.

Bring back Ali, the place has not been the same since she was sacked for having a cold.
