The Friars Oak, Hassocks

***********DO NOT EAT HERE**************
Do not be fooled but this pubs charming exterior, the experience goes downhill once you walk through the front door. Today my mum and her two sisters went to 'The Friars Oak' for their Christmas meal together. They initially had to wait half an hour for there drink, then another half hour for their starter, followed by a further 45 minutes for their main, which when it came had potatoes burnt to a crisp as if Santa had brought them down the chimney with a fire still burning like the flames in hell, whilst the remainder of the meal was so cold it had come from Lapland. As if this wasn't bad enough, they had to wait another 30 minutes for dessert but prior to getting it was told they had to leave due to a party of 40 arriving. Two words to describe their experience at this pub, HUMILIATING and DISAPPOINTING.

Well after a year of going up there when the pub decided to close at 9:30pm on a Sunday we decided to give it another chance on a Sunday, big mistake this time the decision to close happened at 5:30pm.

Although very popular due to the excellent quiz on a Thursday, this pub is one of the most expensive I know, shame as I would probably visit it more frequently, even though it is quite a distance for me. By the way the landlord decided to close one Sunday whilst we were in there because he was bored. Not very professional as we had all got a cab there in the first place
