The Black Horse, Binsted

My wife and I find the recent comments baffling as this is one of our favorites. The welcome is very friendly and the service is very good.

We understand there is a price premium here, but I feel that it is proportionate...you get what you pay for. We have always had very good meals here since we tried it for the first time, a few years back.

As an ale drinker, I must say I was always disapointed by the choice of Courage Best or London Pride, but there is now a guest ale also, which is more often than not, a local ale. So no, this is not a "drinkers" pub.

Well, it is "horses for courses" I guess, but I felt that in the interests of an even balence I ought to stick my thoughts in. The welcome we see other guests get suggests there are plenty of others who feel the same.

The Crown Hotel, Littlehampton

Oh dear. Tried it for the first time recently, as the Wetherspoons was busy. Black Sheep ale was very average and the Betty Stoggs didn't taste much different!

As for the service/food....we waited 45 mins for a couple of bagguttes. The quality was also somewhat dubious, very poor. Well we will not be going back.

Wetherspoons is much better !
