The Tiger Inn, East Dean

The staff are very friendly and the beer is excellent.

The food should be better than it was for the money. Having said that, I went with a friend on a rare sunny day in a very rainy winter and they had run out of lots of stuff. Maybe they had been taken by surprise.

Ye Olde Bell Inn, Rye

This is a very pleasant pub in which to sit inside or outside

Went there for lunch the other weekend. The meal they served was fabulous. The meat I believe was happy meat and there was lots of it and very good value.

It is quite a popular pub and it was a sudden sunny day in winter so it isn't surprising that they had run out of apple pie. All the other puddings looked wonderful.

The staff were welcoming and friendly. Definitely my favourite pub in Rye

The Poets Corner, Hove

Can't agree with Northernstereotype as this is the only pub I've been to in the last 10 years that knew my name and use it.

The staff are friendly, courteous and helpful. The beer is excellent. Their Harvey's Old is brilliant and worth a visit.

It is the sort of pub you can easily sit in on your own. This goes for men and women. Some people pop in to read or do their work there. It is also lovely place for a chat with friends although sometimes the music is a bit country and western. In winter the pub has a lovely open fire.

It also has the odd football match and live music from time to time when the pub gets a bit full. This pub also hosts a range of nights such as comedians, folk club, poker, poets and writers and local groups often pop in. Often these are upstairs out of the way. However, being a friendly pub people often chat to you. I've spoken to a range of people of all ages and interests.

Along with the Neptune this is easily the best pub in Hove.
