The Plough, Pyecombe

Situated where the A23 cuts through the south Downs. Not the easiest of access although easily seen. On entering, you would be struck by how neat and tidy the atmosphere is. The floor is wooden laminate. The traditional look of the pub on the outside belies its interior emphasis on food. It keeps good beer, and the front of the pub is still a bar with an open fire. It then stretches to a large conservatory extension at the back, dedicated to food. The welcome fro the staff varied from very friendly by the manager to fairly off-hand by the bar maid that served us. On a sunny day sitting outside with the view of the Downs is comfortable and pleasant.

The Half Moon Inn, Plumpton

Spacious inside, with a mixed food and drinking traditional atmosphere. The food is good steady fare with some massive chocolate desserts. The beer is well kept and very drinkable. The service is friendly although occasionally slow as it can be a busy popular pub. There is a pool table at ones end of the bar.
The outside has a huge garden (field) at the rear with
great views of the downs. Lots of swings and bits and pieces for children to amuse themselves with.
Nice attitude, pleasant environment.
