The Whistlestop Inn, Portslade
Simply dreadful. The waiting room at an East German border crossing was far more welcoming. The barstaff, mainly female fatties, eventually serve you with the maximum of reluctance and surliness. Boasts food, but none is available, which is probably a plus. Take care when crossing the floor, you could trip over the grooves which the customers make with their knuckles as they shamble to the loo. Prices higher than pubs I know in central Brighton and , quite frankly, they should pay YOU to go in.

Good traditional pub. No fruit machines, no television, no jukebox. AND no football! If John, the landlord, wants to keep it a football-free zone, then all power to his elbow! Some of us have wider interests that we can share in a convivial setting.

Exhorbitant prices, packed out (at weekends) with dogs, tattooed young women pushing buggies the size of Smart cars, brats and inarticulate youths. Some nice customers early on, but avoid this pub in the evening, unless you are really into Chav culture.

Appalling, vile, indescribable. The most offensive, loud and drunken 'landlady' not seen since Dickens was writing. A barmaid who dresses (well, almost) and looks like a superannuated tart and a smoking area that surpasses Steptoe's back yard in its squalor and filth. NEVER cross the threshold of this grotesque parody of a pub.

The Sussex, Brighton
Quite the most agreeable pub in the centre of Brighton with friendly bar staff, attractive prices and the most delightful landlady you could ever wish to meet. It serves good, honest pub grub which holds its own against the myriad specialist restaurants in the immediate vicinity. Spotlessly clean, a wide choice of beers, including real ales and a nice patio area where one can enjoy live music offered by talented musicians playing a few yards away. Just be careful when going to the gents', it is a bit of a squeeze to get in and can be a problem for the less mobile .Or for the inebriated, but that's their problem! Do visit this super establishment.
