The Hollist Arms, Lodsworth

Changed hands in March 2011. The menu is now much smaller and service yesterday was a little chaotic!! I think the new owners might need some time to settle in!!

The Lickfold Inn, Petworth

I don't know where you get your information from "exguvnor", but you're wrong about the building. It was Grade II listed in 1959:

The Lickfold Inn
Publc house, very much restored C16 timber-framed building with red brick infilling, mostly herring-bone pattern and some close-studding at south end of ground floor. Gable at south end. Tiled roof. Casement windows. Two storeys and attic. Four windows. Two gabled dormers.

You say "last two owners have failed to make it pay" but I remember it being very successful before Evans bought it. I was under the impression that they had wanted to renew their lease but Evans had paid more - in effect forcing them out.
