    I often walk a dog for a disabled friend, who lives in Telscombe and if waiting for the bus, the…read moresun is shining, or I just can't kid myself with a reason, I'll pop in here. Telscombe and the surrounding areas are probably not renowned for their pubs, but the Tavern is really a very charming place. With a large bar area, a dedicated dinning area and a quite side room, it offers a little something for everyone. Food is served daily and the range is good, and the food itself punches above a lot of similar pub grub places. It's unlikely you would want to make the effort to come out of town for a visit, but if you have a dog, try the cliff top walk and end it with a refreshing drink here, you may be as pleasantly surprised as I was.

    We've been here several times over the last three months and we can't fault it. The food is really…read morenice. The Sunday roasts are huge with a choice of meats. The meat is freshly cooked and you get absolutely loads of it with multiple vegetables, stuffing and Yorkshire pud. The waitress's are very pleasant and attentive without being obtrusive, and the cost is very good as well. Last night my partner and I had a burger and chips each, three large glasses of wine and a sweet to share. All of this for £23. This is because they do a 2 for 1 offer on burgers on a Tuesday evening. I'd certainly recommend it although beware Saturday nights if you want a quiet meal as they have live music after about 9pm.

    Lovely wood-panelled eatery/pub, situated next to the duck pond and just down from Rudyard…read moreKipling's old house in Rottingdean. Good quality food, friendly service, although less sophisticated than the prices (£18 burger) would suggest.

    Despite it's name, Rottingdean is a really pretty little village on the outskirts of Brighton…read more Although small, it's not short on pubs, tea rooms and other eateries. My favourite though is The Plough. It's set back at the rear of the village, next to the picturesque pond. The clientele include a good mix of locals, visitors and walkers. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, and the service is efficient. We had Sunday lunch here last weekend and it was a pretty good effort. My partner and I both went for the roast beef. It was tasty, good quality and well cooked. The Yorkshires were homemade, and the veggies were good but there could have been more of them. The only disappointment were the roast potatoes which tasted like they had been finished off in the deep fat friar! The portions were not ginormous but it was filling and it's good sometimes not to have the opportunity to over eat! We did have to move tables during our meal as we realised we were sat under the tele which was a bit annoying when the rugby started, and a group of men started cheering over our dinner! Unfortunately, the pub only has a small courtyard garden, this place is crying out for more outdoor space. It's not a bad option for a Sunday roast though.
