I think you'll find the Buxted Inn is still very much alive. May now be considered more of a restaurant & hotel rather than a pub but still open. It was built as a hotel just hasn’t been marketed as one for a long time.

yeah,i knew it had gone,but i live abroad now and i'm usually based around eastbourne when back in the UK

last time i was over for the watford game,had a nostagalic stroll down newhaven high st,white hart,ship & bridge all still there,but it still came as a bit of a shock to see the crown gone,a bit like the old shoreham road,a large part of your life stripped away for good

didn't get as far as the ark,presume it's still there,what about the ferryboat? what was it called before?

my old dear told me the sussex coaster in peacehaven is on the verge,used to be called the gay highlander!

the castle,mckellar,bells club?

also remember the buckle in seaford

absolute 'kin disgrace the Cricks closing. Ruined by the corporate greed of Punch Taverns.... At least The Albion in Fishersgate is still going strong.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Bring back the George Beard in Brighton!!!

Dark star didnt own the Stand Up. They leased it off the former landlord, who put up the price of this lease which Dark Star decided they couldnt afford or wouldnt pay for. shame as they were doing really well there. Proper real ale pub. Hope it opens up again asap

It's worse than that, the freeholder, in seeing that Dark Star were doing so well, hiked the price of the
lease up by so much, that Dark Star would have made a loss!

There is a recession on incase you hadn't noticed!

Last I heard was that he was going to reopen the pub himself. I hope that no one goes in there if he
does - teach the bastard a lesson!

Elephant and Castle, West Chiltington. Eleven Cricketers, Storrington.

 

[Screaming J]

The manxman in Lewes plus who could forget our infamous nightclub Cleopatras opposite the Esso garage !!!!!

Manxman hasn't gone, just changed its name back to the Dorset Arms.

It most certainly is with your help

It was the Old England and The Spaniard that closed surely ? Add to those, The White Hart and The New Street Inn, both were great pubs.

Olde England
Spanyard
Rhapsody Wine Bar

Very sad.

Bit beofre my time most of those, started drinking legally in 1998. Just wonder how many pubs will be left by the time my son turns 18 (he's 3 months at the mo) Probably just the 2 wetherspoons, charging £20 a pint

 

[sully]

My first real local was the North Star in Ditchling, which sadly closed many moons ago ( in the last century).

Burgess Hill seems to be losing pubs at an alarming rate at the moment.

 

[Tubby Mondays]

The George Rotherfield
Harvest Moon Rotherfield
Bicycle Arms Rotherfield
Rose and Crown Crowborough
The Victoria Groombridge

The Sea House used to be such a busy pub. It is missed.

Do you mean the Middle St one?
Used to spend quite a bit of time there in my youth. It was our pre and post match, pub of choice. It got a bit run down before its demise, but even then was a great pub.
