My My, how things can change. Has been taken over by the Fayre Square chain. They have invested quite a bit of cash in a re-furb, and successfully. Smart looking bar and eating area with a large garden at the back. Plenty of parking. Food was pretty good ie Fish and Chips about £7.00, Pasta £8.00..(but I don't think pubs can do pasta). Would go back there

Large restaurant area within the pub, very friendly staff and a nice view over the water. My boyfriend had the Pie and he said it was very tasty, I had the bbq chicken and bacon....it was alright, I wouldn't have it again.

The decor is old 70s 'traditional pub' which I love and the bar staff and the locals are all extremely friendly - in fact when I sat there enjoying my pint of Harvey's, one of the locals was happy to chat about the history of Shoreham, its pubs and the current property prices. Food wise, they have a chef's specials board with locally sourced produce that changes from day to day and also offer a '2 for £10' deal once a week. On the main menu there is all the pub classics like fish and chips, steaks and interestingly, fajitas. There's plenty of room for large groups and also an impressive looking garden to sit out in and watch the world go by in the summer.

The Bell is Owned by a chap called Bertie Burton who unfortunately wasn't there when I popped in but the friendly barmaid said he's a real character. The first thing I noticed was the great selection of real ales (Harveys, Bombadier, Tim Taylor and Summer Lighting) and then I saw a plate of food being wisked out to a customer; a plate of bubble and squeak, smokey bacon, poaced egg and hollandaise. Made my mouth water. I'm popping back on Sunday for their slow roasted pork belly (not bad at £7.25) and then possibly for a game of Wii on Monday night.

The gent at the bar was lovely, very outgoing and seemed fun, the regulars weren't the type who'd glare at you for daring to enter their pub and the burgers we had were great, the bean burger was amazing and the corn on the cob they serve with the burgers, though small, is heavenly. Best I've ever tasted! Certainly worth visiting here if you want good pub food, we intend on going back!

What a find this place is! This is food about as good as it gets and the menu is ever changing…read morebased on what is locally available. The menu is simple and perfect, a choice of a 6 course or 8 course tasting menu; with a wine pairing option. They will happily alter to suite vegetarians etc. Everything we had, from a light broad bean and mint velouté soup, 20 minute sugar/salt cured fresh mackerel blow touched to crisp the skin, local beef and two deserts was outstanding. The staff were very professional, knowledgable and helpful. Decor is modern, clean and very attractive. There is absolutely nothing I can say negative about this place. Apparently others feel the same way, it is becoming extremely difficult to get a reservation. Interestingly the kitchen is open and a hive of activity. Steven Edwards (an award winning British chef) and his team clearly know what they are doing and are not afraid to experiment and surprise. For example; bread is a light, warmed brioche bun with a glossy Marmite glaze. Absolutely stunning, especially considering I do not like Marmite! My wife, daughter and me spent a very enjoyable 3 hours dinning at Etch and left very happy and pleasantly surprised. The 8 course tasting menu is not over indulgent, just right for anyone with a normal appetite. You may have noticed all my reviews to date on Yelp have been 5 star, this is deliberate. Life is too short to focus on that which does not make us happy. This is why I restrict my reviews to those things/places that make me happy and appreciate life. Sure, I have been to some really awful restaurants, but, like I said, life is too short to spend time thinking and writing about them

The two things it has over other chains is outdoor seating for spring and summer days and an extensive menu including sharing platters. Naturally, the dishes lean towards easy fresh and frozen foods but on a sunny day - it's an okay place to catch up with a friend over lunch.

The Slug & Lettuce brand is reliably above average. This particular pub-cum-restaurant is decidedly…read moreugly from the outside, but that just seems to be the case with the majority of the businesses on George Street. This town high street hosts particularly uninspired architecture, which makes the Slug & Lettuce look, well, rather sluggish. Step inside however and you're thankfully transported from the dullness and taken to a place that is gentle and simplistic in its tastefulness. Although more expensive than some other chain pubs, like the terrible Weatherspoons across the way, the Slug & Lettuce does still offer value for money. The food is tasty enough - though best suited for lunch rather than a romantic evening meal. The staff are a friendly enough bunch, though rather quiet, but this is not such a bad thing. Overall this is a solid 3-star affair. If you're on the high street and want a quick drink or bite to eat for less than £10 a head, you're sorted. If you're after a fancier job, then go somewhere along Church Road instead.

The grade-II listed building has a small room and bar at the front, and a large rambling area at the back, with some small 'snug' rooms off that. The decor, as you might expect, it traditional, with low ceilings, a mixture of stone, wooden and carpeted floors, and lots of exposed beams and brick. But its best feature has to be the garden at the rear, which runs alongside a small stream, and is delightful in summer. There's also a separate children's play area. Real ales include Harvey's Sussex Best Bitter, as well as a Fuller's London Pride and HSB. They have an extensive and slightly pricey food menu, but I've not eaten here. There's a large car park, and it's a short walk from the bus stop with an hourly service to and from Brighton.

On the menu they claim there is chunky chips with the fish, well look at the picture and judge yourself. The staff are very friendly but don't seem to know much about their products on sale. There are two grardens. One by a streem and the other across the carpark. Both are suitable for children. No worry that they could run across the road.

The clientele seemed to be regulars that knew each other and the staff. I'd highly recommend getting a seat out in the garden - it is beautiful back there. Tonight the garden was packed so we enjoyed our meal indoors. Started with an elderflower Collins that was refreshing and delicious, and a flavorful Pimm's with cucumber, mint, lime and orange. Dinner tonight was the oyster mushroom bao buns which were super flavorful (though a bit spicy) and the hit at our table for the evening. My friend had the crispy chicken thigh burger which was good but a bit overcooked for her liking. The crispy smashed potatoes were amazing and the fries were perfect with a drizzle of vinegar. Finished the night off with a G'n'T and left truly satisfied. The staff, though very busy, were very attentive and friendly. If I were a local, Connaught would be my regular place to meet up with friends!
