Great atmosphere, festive crowds, good ale, but frequently too crowded to relax.

Went in for one and the Harvey's Sussex was so fine we stayed for 3 more and missed our table at a nearby restaurant! Great atmosphere, really busy but service was very efficient

They had Pride, Landlord, Harvey’s Bitter, Coach House Brewery Blueberry Classic Bitter, and Beartown Brewery’s Bear Ass Bitter on when I dropped in earlier in the week. I had the Bear Ass Bitter, which was a new one on me - £2.90 a pint; 4% and fairly dark with a smooth rich taste. Excellent. The beer choice has certainly improved in recent times. When I arrived shortly after noon there was an unpleasant smell of bleach, but this was soon masked by the smell of food. Typical Nicholson’s type menu – I had beef and horseradish on ciabatta with a few chips, which was OK for £4.95.

This pub has a very high, beamed ceiling, tiled floor, attractive friezes and bar-back. I even rather like the bar gantries. I noticed that the leaded-light windows had the initials SLW intertwined in them. Does anyone know what they stand for? Something to do with Savoy perhaps? This is a very impressive pub, which I like very much.

It was very busy in here during my visit, but the eagle eyed barman spotted me right away and promptly served me. Doombar, Hobgoblin, Pride, Harveys Best and Landlord were all on offer along with various lagers. Behind the bar is almost as wide as the drinking area so it doesn’t take a lot to make this pub feel busy. I spotted some seating upstairs, but I didn’t check out the downstairs bar – Maybe next time.

In my opinion this place is worth a visit.
