Huge disappointment. Pub was packed and it felt like they couldn't cope - service was abrupt, tables sticky, food was rubbish and overpriced. Struggled to cut through pork ribs (even with the specially provided sharp knife) and �12 for 3 average sausages and a small amount of mash is nothing short of a rip-off. Suggest you leave this one for the winter months.

The Ancient Mariner, Hunstanton
Big chain style pub in good location overlooking the sea. Food pretty much what we expected but watch out for high wine prices. Unfortunately the strongest impression is that the Ancient Mariner is not clean; tables not cleared, rubbish outside in grassy area, had to ask for our table to be wiped and then it was the very cursory - wiped around the beermats!

Stopped here for lunch whilst walking the South Downs Way. Packed inside but a nice location and happy to sit out. Spent over �5 on one sandwich and felt thoroughly ripped off. Cheap sliced bread, bland filling, a tiny sprinkling of crisps, and some sad lettuce. Appalling! This was the worst pub sandwich in a very very long time. Toilets dirty and wouldn't flush.

The Thames Court, Shepperton
Save this one for off peak. Great location on the river but it gets very, very busy and there's almost a long wait for food as the kitchens can't cope with the numbers. When it gets so busy, there's often nowhere to sit outside. Very much a chain pub but lovely on a quiet winter night.
