Good Country Pub for Dinner Tonight..

[Lady Bracknell]

The Lewes Arms now sells seriously good food. Kitchen closes at 8'ish though so might be too early.

 

[BensGrandad]

Sir Roger Tichbourne at Alfold Bars or the Blue Ship in The Haven if you want to venture up north a bit.

Is that the same Sir Roger Tichboune that is or rather was last time I looked, on the road from Alfold to Loxwood as I thought that it had closed down and been delicensed. When ever taking grandchildren home to Guildford The Alfold Barns always looks as if it is closed but displays a sign about Selsey Crabs being available so obviously isnt.

Another vote for Lewes is the Chalk pit inn. Turn left at the prison crossroads from Brighton and just follow the road for about 1.5 miles. seriously good food and Harveys

Went to a nice pub in Mellor once. They served Thwaites bitter but I didn't care as I drink lager.

Is that too far for you?

 

[Notters]

Dog and Shepherd sounds nice where is it?? I always get lumbered with the Shepherd and Dog at Fulking is this the Dog and Shepard I say 'The Dog and Shepherd f*** off you cvnt this is The Shepherd and Dog ........bastard Dog and Shepherd you tell em we are after em'!!!

who cares, the place is a rip off, £7 for a tiny cheese baguette!

Roger Tichbourne is the most souless place i have been in for a long long time the staff are miserable the food was overpriced and the place had no character what so ever, now the Blue Ship on there other hand

You sure you mean the Bear? whilst the food is good the view is not that brilliant! maybe the Wheel at Burwash Weald is the one you're thinking of?

The view is great from the back of the Bear looking up to Brightling.

But the Rose and Crown is a much better pub, always has been always will be.

So much choice in Sussex, unfortunately there is only a single pub in London (but they do sell Harveys)

The Alford Barn;wasnt that once Phil Coliins local.

The Alford Barn;wasnt that once Phil Coliins local.

Probably because before he left his wife for the young girl and moved to Switzerland he had a house or more a mansion in Loxwood. He also drank in the Queen Victoria Shalford quite a lot.

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Quite correct Brian; PC's pad in Loxwood is/was just down the road from Mike Rutherford's manor house in Drungewick.

The Tich re-opened at the beginning of April after years of being boarded up after the demise of King & Barnes - it's not to everyone's taste as someone else posted. The Blue Ship is an absolute gem though (as you probably know)?

Don't know what you mean. They serve Wine yes, but a poncified Wine Bar ?. I think not. The original post stated somewhere out of the town with somewhere to sit outside.

What atmosphere is expected ?. There is a lovley beer garden where you can eat and drink outside with superb views and the indoor restaurant is, well, a restaurant where people sit and eat their meals.

They also had a fine array of very good looking young ladies working there last time I went.

oh dear US ,we've fallen back to leering at young women again, any excuse eh?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I hope I will enjoy the beauty of Women until the day I have no pulse.

Its better than getting excited over 1940 Munich rallies.

in the end I went to Cromwells at Golding Barn... which isn't exactly a dinner at a country pub, more a full blown 3 course meal at a restaurant.. but we'd been there before and the food had been top notch..

The view was excellent.. but

the beer was warm, the coke was flat, the steak was overcooked and a little tough, the scallops were cold, the goats cheese in some vegetable thing my mum had was way too strong and all of the portions were too small..

So I'm pretty sure they've lost a customer or two...

But the view was nice.

Should have tried the Shepherd and Dog.

Lovely warm summers evening, great view, sat outside, good conversation, waste of time Have a day off will you.

Think you're getting your Burwash's mixed up. The Bear Inn at Burwash has a simply stunning view from the beer garden (must be seen in the Summer). I should know I've lived here all my life!!

I bow to your superior knowledge, as I have only been in 3 or 4 times, and never made it as far as the Beer Garden.

I prefer the Swan at Woods Corner myself.
