The New Downsman, Hove

If you want to remain invisible go to the Downsman in Hangleton when they have taken a large booking in the restaurant then this is the place to be. I booked a table at 10am for 1.30pm the same day. Arriving on time and placing my order at the bar for our meal we were told a table was ready, waiting for half an hour for a Sunday roast and still no sign, when in walked 20 people and were served immediately, on mentioning about us still waiting we were told in no uncertain terms that they were busy and we would have to wait (no apology) and to take it up with Dominic. At last the meal arrived on finishing the waitress was too busy chatting to other people to ask if we wanted a dessert or coffee. We made a hasty retreat as it all has left a bitter taste in our mouths. Never again thank you!!!
