My friends had chosen a better value meal in the form of garlic chicken which was served on giant oval plates for around ten pounds.

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.

It was home to Sherlock Holmes after he retired. The pub itself is a typical British pub with a big fireplace and lots of rough wood finishings.

Order inside with your table number and then watch as staff run constantly to get food to everyone and make sure all tables are happy. Our food arrived quickly and it was amazing! My friend had traditional fish and chips and I enjoyed a lentil Wellington which was so delicious - I'd definitely return for another serving.

The Trevor Arms pub is at the other end of the village, just past the railway station (which has an hourly service to/from Lewes, Eastbourne and Brighton). A large Victorian building, the interior is very traditionally decorated, and very spacious - there are four rooms, including a restaurant area. It has a huge garden area, with tables and seating, as well as space for picnics, and is great for kids to run around and burn off their energy (as indeed they do). Beers include the usual Harveys range from nearby Lewes, and there's an extensive and very well regarded food menu, with the emphasis on traditional English pub grub, and there's also a special menu for children. The pub is especially popular with families, walkers (the South Down Long Distance path is a mile away) and, of course, visitors to Glyndebourne. On a week-end summer afternoon it can get very busy indeed. Deservedly popular. ************************** Photos uploaded 17-10-2007, after a very nice pint of Harvey's Sussex Bitter.

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.
