Review of Walkabout Inn
12 May 08, 17:24
Great photo oppo! 
I've been to the Walkabout a few times now and everytime i've been there the atmosphere is amazing. Not once have i seen any trouble and they have great live bands playing.It's right opposite oceana which is the main nightlife attraction in Brighton at the moment. At the bottom of the stairs by the toilets there are some funny men drawn on the wall. My last outing there enabled a GREAT photo with me, my friends and the funny painted men with long arms.

Review of The Station

Quack pizza!
This is a big pub without much of an intimate feeling. I can think of better places to go for a few drinks or a bite to eat. There is a real mix of clientele here from city workers havin a drink on the way home to Bikers stopping off for a quick shandy. But i have to say that the pizza's are really good, especially the Duck pizza, and the garlic bread is pretty good too!

Yum 
This pub is a favourite of mine. Especially on bbq nights. A massive industrial size bbq cooks delicious, and usually locally supplied produce. On the normal menu the bangers and mash is delicious and for a boozy lunch, as long as there's a designated driver, this pub is perfect. There is a small wood chipping play area for the kids too.

Beautiful
Set in a great location, tucked away in the country side of Henfield, this pub is a real gem! A lovely outside area, good food and sunshine brings people here in masses. Sundays are a dream with a great roast being served.

Great for lunch
This pub is a favourite for lunch breaks to people working in the surrounding area. The reason being it's reasonably priced with lots of variety on the menu. The service is also very prompt and i have recently discovered a lovely beer garden at the back of the pub! In the evening this pub turns into quite a locals joint but if your looking for some good pub grub at lunchtime, it's perfect!

Ok
When this bar first opened it was the place to be and be seen. Since the opening hype bussiness has eased off and it's lost some of it's stuck up attitude. A nice classy little bar now to enjoy a bevie and a bowl of olives. Although the house rose leaves you taste buds a little stripped!

A must during adur beer festival
The red lion is a family favourite for food and drink. It's average priceing but one major thing going for this pub is that it's the focus of the adur beer festival! It's brilliant! The pub has a small intimate beer garden which makes a perfect venue for a relaxing drink.

Review of Kings Head Inn

A favourite
This pub is small inside but has a lovely beer garden right on the river. Perfect for a stop over if you set out on a bike ride up the river! I've also never had a bad meal here. The service is faultless as the staff really do care about the customers. The hunters special is a must!

Brilliant
Wow. I stumbled across this pub during a warm evening, and i'm so pleased i found it. There is a wonderful large garden and the food heads towards a pizzeria. The Pizza's are delicious and toppings are plentiful! Great for a drink in the lovely garden or a meal in a great country pub.

Review of Swiss Cottage
11 May 08, 22:35
Dissapointing 
I Have always loved going to the swiss cottage for a drink in the summer, Next to the beautiful lake with the ducks and, as mentioned before, boats. BUT, I went to the swiss recently for a meal and was shocked at the dirty water in the lake for a start. Then we ordered our food from a really varied menu and when it arrived it was slung onto the table in front of us by a moody waitress who on several occasions scratched her food in between bringing food out from the Kitchen. Anyone for a bit of athletes foot with your meal. Our plates weren't taken for ages and the food was really average. My advice would be, Reduce the amount on the menu and get the dishes right. And close it down for refurb, which the ladies toilets are really in need of.

Review of Waterside Inn

Great Locals pub
This used to be my local about a year ago. Somewhere i could go into on my own and be sure to see someone i know. Excellent! BUT.... I have been there since and it's just not the same if they dont know your face! There were a lot of new staff and new punters, i no longer knew anyone and it was obvious they didnt know me. I do think it's a shame when you walk in and everyone looks at you...'who are you?who do you know? and what are you doing here?' There are much better options in shoreham, all of them the other side of the footbridge.

Lovely
What a Gem, I've always experienced great service, food and artmosphere here. Great gardens for a summer evening, only thing is it's location requires a designated driver. I'm happy to be designated though for the pleasure of the atmosphere and food!

Lovely drink by the river
The food is not bad in this venue, Great for a working lunch of lunch with friends. Not a trendy atmosphere but still friendly and not too busy. When it comes to a summers afternoon/ evening.... PERFECT! Sitting by the river on a Sunday afternoon in the sun? What could be better?

Review of Crown & Anchor
29 Apr 08, 11:03
Great for a night with friends
I went to the crown and anchor on Friday night. It's lovely since it's refurb and was very busy... a Little too busy for my likeing but still a great venue. I have eaten here before and i didnt rate the food much, but thats not really what i look to a venue like this for. It's a great starting place for a pub tour as it's in the middle of eveything. Just one negative is the House Rose wine... It's a bit like vinegar! Stick to the Chardonnay or a good old Voddie and diet coke.

Review of Royal Oak

Excellent
I spend a lot of time in the Newforest in my holiday home there, and we discovered this little gem a few years ago. The food has always been excellent with a wide variety on the menu. It's average pricing but the service we have recieved is also good quality. It has a very nice outside area for the summer, but if your planning to go in the school holidays it's best to book.

Carvery
I started to go off the toby carvery's when they became sludgy and over cooked. When we were at a loose end one Sunday, we decided to try again... It was LOVELY! And good value for money! My partner also informs me that it's a good "after work Friday drink" venue. This i would not know!
