I've always thought its sometimes worth taking a nice drive further out of town to find somewhere a…read morebit special and this place is a perfect example. The pub exterior is beautiful but once inside and more importantly, in the garden, you'll see why this place is so special. The views are amazing, almost breathtaking and there's plenty of room for the large groups of people that flock here. The food is excellent and not too over priced. Try the Harvey's battered haddock with home made chips. They also run a take away service for this if you prefer to stay at home but you'd have to have a pretty nice house to beat this one!

We decided to go here as we heard some good reviews, menu looked good and different as well as the pub itself. We drove in to be greated by a lovely looking pub that looked recently refurbished from the outside, great car park which was imaculate and plenty of spaces! Taking into account that it was January and cold we walked in the pub to be greated by freindly staff and people which gave a local but 'buzzing' atmosphere. First thoughts were that the bar was small but great selection of drinks, local beers and wines too. Shown to the table and given menu's which were easy to understand and not to much to choose from like other places (a good thing). Menu was good, your normal burgers but also local fish and game as well as a good spechials menu. Food came out and good size portions and fantastically cooked and you could tell it was fresh produce, not your normal pub food! Needless to say we were impressed, so much so that I took the partner back there in May which was very pleasent, sat outside on the terrace overlooking the downs for a drink prior to dinner. Menu was great still and spechials was good. Value for money wise, its not cheap but you get for what you pay for. Good atmosphere, freindly staff, good drink and great fresh food. Needless to say very impressed, will be back and highly recomended.

There's a huge garden to accommodate large groups and there's plenty of room inside the place too. The staff and owners are really friendly and can't do enough to make you feel welcome. Food wise, I can't recommend the steaks enough here. They source the meat locally and you can tell the difference in the flavour. The Sirloins are fantastic and the chef really knows how to cook it to order (you'd be surprised how many don't. Perfect place to head to on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

The Thatched Inn will always hold a little place in my heart. Aside from the great impression it…read moremakes on pulling into the car park, due to the exceptionally maintained thatched roof, it is the 'pubiness' that makes it a winner. Located on the fringes of Hassocks and overlooking a beautiful stretch of Sussex countryside (great for a post Sunday roast walk to preserve the waistline!), the pub has the advantage of space that Brighton establishments sometimes lack. You would be hard pressed not to find a parking space and the same applies to seating within. The pub provides a cozy bar including a pool table if you fancy stopping by for a swift pint, the 'Keymer' bar for a more relaxed beverage and a large, yet homely dining area if you have come to eat. I will come back to the food in a minute. In the summer, the expansive secluded garden is perfect for children to bomb about, or for those summer nights when the weather is pleasant (of course, a bit hit and miss in this country!). The menu is wide ranging (check the website for a current list of dishes) and offers traditional, quality pub food. A lot of the produce is locally sourced and cooked to order. Sometimes this does mean that you wait a little longer for your meal, but the wait is worth it in such a nice environment. This is a great pub to consider for a Sunday roast, especially if you live in Brighton and have access to a car. They will happily take bookings and also cater for private parties in the dining area. I would have liked to see a wider range of ales on tap, but they do try and keep a local brew or two in rotation. Aside from that, expect your regular range of alcoholic tipples on offer. Many moons ago, in my youth we used to walk to the Thatched from Burgess Hill for our Friday drinking sessions and I would still make that walk! I guess the one negative is the location if you are without transport, but if you do make the pilgrimage from the station, I believe you will be glad that you did.

I ordered cheesy bread and the shepherds pie. Oh my goodness... both were incredible!!! It was a weirdly cold day when I went, so the food was not only delicious but also very comforting.

A great, slightly quirky, traditional pub in a great Sussex village…read more You won't find Chiddingly by accident - it's off a narrow lane off the A22, between Lewes and Eastbourne. The village itself dates back to Domesday and has a fine mediaeval church (worth a visit while there). In fact, the village has 55 entries in the listed building guide, so there's more than enough history to occupy the most hardened tourist before retiring to the pub for refreshment. The pub building dates back to 1774 (and possibly earlier) and is a Grade II listed building; the frontage of blue and red bricks looks suitably traditional, and through the front door there is a main bar area to the left and a wonderful snug room (with a huge fireplace) to the right. The interior is all wooden beams and stone floors, with a bar serving a good selection of real ales and generous portions of traditional pub grub, all with friendly bar staff. (NB The food is popular, so be prepared to wait at busy periods). Towards the rear of the pub, the walls are festooned with old pictures and photographs, and a motorcycling theme predominates: it is a well-known meeting place for bikers, and there's a club board by the back door giving details of events, runs, etc. Outside is a large garden, with lots of seating. The rear of the pub is decorated with old enamel advertising signs, covering every subject imaginable. Also at the back is the large, surfaced car park - perfect for rows of shiny (or, in my case, not so shiny) motorbikes. If all that wasn't enough, the pub also host a fortnightly folk and blues club (http://www.6bellsfolk.co.uk ) as well as its biker meets. Oh, and on my last visit, my mate and I (on our bikes) opted for 2 pints of soda and lime to quench our thirst, with a couple of packets of crisps. It came to £1.80. How great it is, not to feel ripped off with outrageously priced soft drinks! (Next time, though, I'll get someone else to drive so I can sample the real ales...)

On a whim on 18th January, I rang about a late Sunday lunch, and booked a table after being told it was lamb. But on arrival, just before our 3pm booking, we were told 'the lamb had gone 20 minutes ago'. A quick consultation: "Roast beef?" As a precaution, I added "Rare, please." Two plates arrived but they were well-cooked. I sent mine back. Twice. I then asked if I could have a couple of entrees since the lamb had gone and they had no rare beef. The entrees were whitebait and Thai fish cakes, served together on one plate. The waitress, who knows her job backwards, said the salad was 'on the house'. I thanked her but said there was enough on the entree plate. She smiled and took it away. As we finished our meals, the manageress came over. "What didn't you like and what did you like?" she said agressively. We looked at her in silence. After all, we've been going there for food for a long time and, mainly, it's fairly good. In fact, the pub generally has a cheerful atmosphere. "The beef," she said, staring hard at me, "is cooked in the morning, sliced up, and put into gravy. Then it's heated up again." She added, "If you want lamb, you have to say, 'Please save two orders for us... A lack of communication." Well, now we know. When M. Bleu went to the bill to pay the bill, our diminutive manageress with attitude, said: "I don't know who your friend is..." Ma'am, just a li'l old journalist and travel writer who's been doing reviews for 50 years and never been treated in such an unwelcome way before. By the way, the glasses were dirty. We sent those back, too. And alas, e-cigarettes are allowed in the bar, which is also where people - including us - often choose to have their meals. Eccch. A tip: Monday nights are for £10 rib or sirloin steaks. They do them rare, if you want them that way. And with loads of really good chips and decent salad. The Wellington is the only local place I know that will happily give you an olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing for your salad if all those little sachets with GM products aren't your style.

High quality pub food, my beef, imported from New Zealand looked like a Kobe, cooked to perfection (could do it myself) as everybody at a hot=plate grill in the middle of the dining room.
