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.

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.

The food was terrific; special shout out for the pate starter and the steak and ale pie of the day. Interior was cozy and charming near the bar and towards the water. Front rooms away from the water were a bit sterile, but I wasn't seated there so I only noticed it en route to the loo. Smuggler's Rest is a solid pub, and its old reviews should be ignored

Hungry after a walk, I chose the All Day Breakfast which offered up two of just about everything you'd expect for only a fiver. Happy wallet too. The staff are very smiley and the service is quick.

The building is mostly original inside, and even I have to duck because of how low some ceilings are -- now that's REALLY exciting. I came here with a few friends one day when we decided to explore other towns near Brighton. We stumbled upon Old Cottage and went for the classic tea, scones and clotted cream ordeal to feel fabulously proper. We were without a doubt the youngest people inside, but it was so refreshing to see groups of older women gabbing away for hours instead of the rush-rush dining experience mostly found today. If I'm completely honest, the scones and cream did nothing for me. Keep in mind, I don't really like sweets and absolutely hate anything creamy, so that should be taken with a giant grain of NaCl. The atmosphere is just lovely, and if you feel like transporting yourself to the British 1800's, throw on a massive floppy hat and come to Old Cottage. The tea is quite tasty.

The food was decent but the service was really rather slow. We were waiting an incredibly long time. I can imagine the reason for this was because they were under-staffed as the only waitress I could see was cleaning tables when there were lots of customers waiting to be served. The other let-down was the layout. The waiting areas is at the top of a flight of stairs, right in the path of the serving staff. In order to get to the salad bar, you have to go through the serving area. It felt like you were in the way and I can imagine that it must be very frustrating for the staff. If you are looking for somewhere where there is something for everyone on the menu (and an unlimited salad bar!), I would recommend this place. Please do not go here if you are in a rush though.

That said, watching boats bob up and down on waves while supping a pint of Guinness is not to be sniffed at, and makes for a fine way to enjoy the sun. Just a little away from the majority of the shops, and nestled alongside the swanky looking flats that border the water, it makes for a fantastic little nook to tuck a pub into, and there is ample outdoor seating to enjoy when the weather is warm. I haven't got around to trying anything on the menu yet (as I tend not to stray over to the mariner all that often). But the pub looked clean and well maintained with friendly staff ferrying away empty plates from satisfied faces, so I can only assume the traditional menu is a well received menu. Not worth going to the Mariner for per se, but certainly one of the best ways to spend your time there.
