Has he still got pickled eggs behind the bar? I must have had 10 of those in there once one boozy lunchtime

But of course

All down to our personal opinion, innit.

Don't get me wrong I think the Dover Castle is a very nice little pub BUT you really are spoiled for choice in that part of town and I'd probably rate the Greys higher and the Constant Service round the corner isn't half bad either. Then there's the Pub With no Name at the top of Southover too and if you head up onto Queens Park Road I rather like the Walmer Castle as well.

No disrespect to your choice though. I've certainly spent more than enough time enjoying myself in the Dover Castle and could quite happily spend very many more hours in there without a care in the world

Fair play to you Mr B.

Btw, had a top night on friday at the nicely-refurbished Walmer. Turned out it was some guy's 50th Birthaday Party, & they had The Long Tall Texans doin' a full set c/w interval! The place was rammed & a great time was had by all. Result!

I'm afraid I don't know. I don't live in the area anymore so don't frequent these fine establishments as much as I used to.

Might I recommend a leisurely pub crawl investigation to discover whether any of them do?

Top stuff. I hadn't realised the Walmer had had a refurb though. What's it like now? I assume they still have the nice wooden floor and fishtanks in the back wall?

I've always like the Font too, in Brighton. I know it's not alot of peoples taste, but I think it's quite decent. Good for the football, cracking grub and it's a little bit hidden so not everyone can find it. Class.

If there is just one word that you CANNOT use to describe The Font then it would be 'class'.

 

[beorhthelm]

The Queens Head in Icklesham does a fanatastic Sunday roast out in the countryside. make a visit.

Brighton is awash with quality pubs, but current favorite is Great Eastern on Trafalgar St, top food, good beer and wide range of bourbons. has that quintessential Brighton feel, students, oldies, trendies, out of towners all rubbing shoulders - literally, only problem is its a small place.

Oh.
Well, I quite like it. And the Font, too. I'm easily pleased.

That's a very good shout, I'm a big fan of the Great Eastern. They can also lay claim to doing the best Bloody Mary I've ever had in a pub.

Outside B&H? White Hart in Catsfield

 

[Durlston]

The Stand Up Inn, Lindfield is a good one!

Very nice pub but it always smells like a barbers shop when you walk in.It is clean in there but it's just got such a distinctive smell.

It's nice & smart now (after it getting into a really shabby state over the last few years). I think they're gonna be carpeting the place soon - although the floors are as you remember at the mo, & the fishtanks are indeed still in the back wall c/w happy fish! They've started doing Thai food too, which is meant to be good (although I've yet to try any). It's still relatively quiet during the week, but trade's been picking up for them recently: thanks to the redecorating work being finished; food being offered; & both previous & new customers discovering it's back on the local map. They've also got a live music license & have bands on from time to time (& it's free!) Maybe give it a go next time you're up on 'Muesli Mountain' & see what you reckon?

I'm waiting patiently for someone to come up with the RIGHT answer.
