[Drinking] Lancing pub?

[The Clamp]

Are there actually any decent pubs in Lancing?

The place on the beach was pretty good the other night, a beautiful evening and the loveerlies were out in force, lots of bikinis, beer was cold and the pizzas looked and smelled lush.

The Perch. Yeah, but it's not a pub really. Nice enough for a couple on a summer evening.

I live there. No.

Crabtree is ok when I've been in there

Pubs - not really. The less said about The Farmers & The Railway the better.

Crabtree is passable as is the New Sussex Hotel (Old Three Horseshoes) on the front, and the Perch is largely only open during daytime hours. There is the Miller & Carter restaurant in North Lancing which used to be the old Sussex Potter and does have a bar area but they don't serve any draught ale if that's your thing, and the The Joyful Whippet to the west (see Farmers and The Railway).

Better to trek a couple of miles East and head for Shoreham. A few crap ones there too, but far more to chose from and some pretty decent amongst them.

There is a little brew house off the high St I've had a pint in on odd occaisions, seemed ok but I was onlt there for 1/2 hr while my lad had football training.

The Stanley Ale House

The Stanley Ale House

The Standley Ale House is ok nice beer but lacks any atmosphere, the New Sussex which has recently changed name to The Beach again nice beer and big beer garden

The Stanley Alehouse is the only Lancing pub I would consider using. Some nice places in Shoreham and Worthing which are worth the extra travel.

 

[The Clamp]

Thank you. I drink in Shoreham ( The Buck and The Welly mainly) an was just curious as I'm spending a bit of time in Lancing of late.

Yes l love the Crabtree . . . but l think the one l like is totally different to yours!

 

[super-seagulls]

The Sussex on the seafront has a large beer garden, but as already suggested Stanley Ale House for good beer.

To be fair, I haven’t been in there. I should have clarified I haven’t been in them all. Farmers & Railway though.

Stanley Alehouse is worth trying out. I have been a few times (pre games at Lancing etc) and it's fine.

Is the Balltree still in Sompting? Used to do gales ales - a fine pint of HSB.

Unfortunately long demolished and under flats.

I used to drink in here when I lived in Sompting, always thought its was ok.

Before I finally left Lancing in the early '80s, the pubs were dire: The Farmers, The Railway, The Crabtree, The Grinstead Arms - all as rough as..... There again so was Lancing. Throughout my teens, I couldn't wait to move to Brighton.

I actually made a brief visit to Lancing a couple of months ago, while I was on a work-related trip down to Brighton, and saw that The Railway, and The Farmers, are still trading. To be fair, they might well have improved enormously in recent years, although I didn't go in to find out
