    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.

    We eat quite often at The Wellington - mainly for lunch but occasionally for supper. It's our local…read moreand has pretty good service on the whole... 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.

    Excellent choice of Single Malt Whiskies, the best I have seen in a pub abroad Scotland. Lovely…read morebarteam, the owners Rhonda and Grahame Ober became my friends. Very good ale. 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. Not too posh, Lovely people, local middle class, discrete Australian decor, to state the provenience of the lovely landlords. Thank you for a special evening, I felt like home, will be back soon.

I had been out in Alfriston for the day with the new boy and after a visit to the local gallery and a glorious walk through the Sussex countryside, we popped in her for a quick glass of red before heading home. The pub, like everything in the picturesque village of Alfriston, is old (14th century) and quaint. Think open fires, low wooded beams and lots of character. Wanting to make the most of the early spring sunshine we sat in the garden which is also beautiful. The service was reasonably friendly if a little brisk and the wine was decidedly average, but the surrounding more than made up for this. We bumped into friends that were having the Sunday roast and they also commented that they had waited a long time for the food and there was nothing special about it, I would like to try this for myself though before making a judgment, maybe something from the al la carte menu which look pretty tasty. I will be back and will happily update my review when I can judge the food for myself!

You should try the Mustard Baked ham, egg and chips! Well looked after ales will more than slake your thirst, ( if you're not driving). Lovely area to stroll around.
