This is one of my favourite pubs in the South of England. Myself and a select few meet once in a while to sample the excellently kept Harvey's best, personally some of the best tasting Harvey's in Sussex. the food is proper pub grub, don't expect gastro, expect something filling. There are little spots out the back and front to catch the sun in the late afternoon and the regular live music events are always fun to watch and listen too.

What an amazing pub! Situated in the beautiful village of Chiddingly, this pub has a gorgeous interior (not too) cluttered with old enamel signs etc which may be a bit much for some but added to the interest for me. Nice and cosy, I could have spent all day there. We arrived during the last weekend in July which corresponded with The Bongo Bash being held in the adjacent field which was basically a bunch of bikers having fun. They were fine but may have put off some. Apparently this has been a biker pub for some years, but you wouldn�t really notice it. I think there is Folk & Blues here as well. Well worth a visit!

All the previous reviews mention what a wonderful pub this is......and it still is.
An increasingly rare gem given the amount of pub closures. The beer, 'Harveys', was spot on and the pub is clearly loved by both owners and regulars....it shows!

Well - the previous entries say it all. What a gem. We have sampled the fare twice in the last 2 weeks at lunchtime and couldn't wish for more. The service is friendly, the food very satisfying and the beer exceedingly well kept. We will return for more in the near future.

Probably my favorite pub...great landlord...great staff...love it.

Absolutly a true English country pub, well run & serving well-kept Harveys.
Also has excellent food. Definitely worth a visit when in the area.

Visited lunchtime today for the first time and was very impressed. Great unspoilt country pub and very busy for a chilly, dull day. The serving of beer did not come second to the food, as is the norm so often these days, and I had an excellent pint of Sussex served by an efficient and friendly barmaid. Would loved to have stayed all afternoon and will be back as quickly as possible.

Everything that a country pub should be! Quaint and quirky pub, friendly staff, landlord that makes you feel welcome and like you have known him for years, affable punters, fantastic food at a great price and very generous portions (cheesey chips a must! Along with pavlova and banoffee pie!). I cannot sing it's praises enough. May look a little rough and ready round the edges inside but thats only because it is so well-used! Very popular with all ages and everyone made to feel welcome. BRILLIANT!!! :-)

Oh joy! What a lovely pub. It's everything that's great about British pubs. It looks great from outside - it's a characterful village pub. The food is above average, and the beer varied. The clientele is lively and in good humour; the staff are friendly and efficient. Interesting and varied layout of rooms. Band playing out the back. Reasonable prices. It doesn't get much better than this - I love this place.

Best pub in the area.
Quirky, good beer, good food, very reasonable prices and efficient service.

A bit like memory lane for me as I sat down to an excellent ham shank in that I saw a poster for Britain's biggest bullock competiton in Ashford market back in 1978-we put a big old charolais steer in:needless to say it wasn't the biggest!
Back to business:this is a very pleasant local pub, featuring good value bar meals, including a large veggie section, not that we indulged. The Harveys Best was pretty good, and contrary to what some posters have suggested, I don't think that it has altered over the years, and still is in the running for one of my must have ales.
A dog friendly pub: a group came in with a lovely wheaten lurcher-always a plus point with this family.
I agree about the Gents! Could try harder.

This hidden away country pub can be hard to find but it is well worth the effort. A mixture of several rooms which have not really changed that much in many years and also an outdoor seating area. It is deservedly popular and so is often busy. Harveys best bitter is the main real ale which most of the time is in good condition although I have had the occasional poor pint over the years. The service is probably the weak point and I have on a number of occasions been ignored for quite a while in favour of locals before being served. It is well known for excellent live music every week.

A straight ten for this place- on my first visit this week. A top rate pub where the beer, the food (range inc veggie options) and prices; the atmosphere and ambience; and the welcome, were as good a sone could expect. Why it isnt in the Good Beer Guide when far inferior places are is a mystery to me. Impportyantly it is still a pub first and foremost- the food hasn't taken over and turned the place into some sort of restaurant as so many pubs have become.

Lovely country pub with friendly staff.
|
Excellent country pub with an unspoilt old bar - a brick floor and wonderful fireplace. There are two other indoor sitting areas and several bench tables on the rear terrace. Good real ale and good value food (served all day at weekends).
There is free live music 3-4 times a week and a regular folk club. The "Bells" is also popular as a car/bike club meeting place in summer. Paul is an excellent landlord.
My only criticism is the Gents toilets - which are awful!
|
Great! Full of atmosphere and quirkly, friendly landlord and cheap great food. Live music fridays, saturdays and some sundays in the evening plus sunday lunchtimes for jazz.
|
Excellent food,excellent beer,friendly,traditional!
|
Regular visits to this pub as its become a firm favourite. The welcome is genuine and we love the live music. Sitting outside during the summer was a welcome break from themed gardens, and the atmosphere indoors all adds to the pleasant drinking experience.
The higgeldy-piggeldy layout makes the pub an interesting venue with its various rooms which go from cosy to perfect for the live bands... marvellous.
|
The Six Bells is an unchanged country pub that serves basic good food. Please note, it is not a restaurant that sells beer. It is also chip-free !!
Excellent live bands on Friday and Saturday nights with a late licence. Jazz on Sunday lunchtime plus more live music Sunday evenings.
Loads of motorbikes on Sunday.
Worth the effort to find.

Situated in small village just North of A22 near interesting church. It comprises several small rooms and snugs with the walls covered with memorabilia - mostly motor bikes and sports teams where we were sitting on narrow benches against the wall. This gives it a good atmosphere and it serves a good pint of Harveys, shame the food (we tried the Knocci and the chicken curry) was uninspiring
