The House of Soul, Littlehampton

Lack of soul. Comparable only to a bad case of the clap.

The Gratwicke Arms, Littlehampton

A "real" pub. Full of friendly characters, invariably well bladdered and a little rough around the edges. Great barstaff, especially Mandy, and the landlord, Ray, is brilliant, having run the place for 15+ years now. Not a Burberry cap in sight and the smallest selection of alchopops this side of Greenland, this is NOT a trendy place to go for a drink. Be warned, this pub is not for the feint-hearted...it is a working mans "boozer". Because of this, The Gratwicke Arms is our favourite pub in the area. Do yourself a favour, put your tatty jeans on, grab your darts and your jukebox money and have a real night out in one of the few remaining establishments that can rightly call themselves "a pub".

The Dolphin, Littlehampton

One of the better pubs in LA and particularly good food. Diverse clientele (very gay friendly) and very much an adult pub. Good cheap pool table and the TV only comes out on special occasions so people tend to talk to each other more, although this is by no means obligatory. Friendly staff (no chatting them up guys, they really AREN'T your type!)and quick service. The regular live music is often a little too "camp" for our liking and the background music leaves a lot to be desired with a dodgy jukebox and 50's stuff on most of the time. Well worth a visit and one of the safest pubs in town.
