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...)

It's probably worth making a reservation (as we did) as this place tends to be quite busy. The food was very nice. The meal I had (sausage and mash) wasn't particularly good value at a shade over ten pounds. 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. Service was very good, the food was served good and hot and there is the full range of pub drinks (including a good range of draught ciders) to take advantage of.

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.

Luckily we found some stool seating by the front and were able to enjoy some beers and take in the ambiance.

Beer: We tried out the Guinness (great pouring process!), peroni, and a local ale which the bartender allowed me to sample. He was very helpful and walked me through the different ciders they had in stock and even how you could add fruit syrups to sweeten the flavor. What makes this place even more memorable was the helpfulness of the young guy bartending. He helped us plan how to get to Gatwick airport extremely early the next morning and we owe him a big one!
