Pubs in Horsham

[Worthingite]

It looks very much like I will be moving to Horsham soon, anyone tell me where's nice and where's crap in the town centre?!? So far I've been to the anchor, which is plenty nice enough, and 30 seconds walk from where I'm moving to. Anywhere else?!?!

Avoid the coot at all costs...!

Bedford at back of station is fine for football. The Black Jug between station and town is fairly busy and half decent beer.

NWSS often have some sort of get together at The Holbrook Club although not sure it has much to offer otherwise

Other than that not much I would recommend.

 

[Pondicherry]

The Stout House is of course the correct answer. Small, proper pub with an eccentric landlord.

Bedford behind the station if you want football, in the town centre the Stout house is a proper pub, as is the Bear, although I haven't been in there lately.

The Anchor and the Crown are both busy on Friday and Saturday nights.

The Malt Shovel has live music on a Friday, the Black Jug has good beer but is the most expensive pub in Horsham.

Lovely place, but Hall & Woodhouse, so no decent beer. Was so much better when it was K&B.

Oh, avoid the Lynd Cross which is the Wethersopoons, it's a bit of a youth club, but of course does offer cheap beer.

The Malt Shovel used to be ok but haven't been there for a while.

If you stray further out of town my favourite pub is the bax castle which is near Christmas hospital school. Great summer pub with big beer garden, Good beer, Good food. In town the Anchor has a a lot going for it these says. Used to be shit but it is much better. The crown is green king so you know what you are getting. The bear is often full of weirdos. The tanners arms is good for live bands as well but it's a bit out of town.

Another vote for the Black Jug, expensive, but then it keeps the chavs out

 

[Seagull58]

The drummer in my son's band works in the Malt Shovel and I hear it's good. Black Jug is also good. Do you want beer or p*ssy?

Apol's ... just so he knows ... Christs Hospital

Thanks. Bloody predictive text

Across Market square from 'The Anchor' is 'The Bear' the best pub in town.

Black Jug is full of RSA employees during the week and as somebody else mentioned the prices keep out the chavs!

Out of town, a taxi trip away is the Bax Castle. Great summer and/or sunday pub.

Avoid pretty much everywhere else!

The bear is often full of complete nut jobs but beer wise and for old style pubs it's pretty good

Good ale, can be a bit grubby IMO

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Lovely place, but Hall & Woodhouse, so no decent beer. Was so much better when it was K&B.

Agreed, but that's true of almost every ex King & Barnes house, now Hall & Woodhouse, and as you so rightly say, now to be avoided by all true real ale drinkers.

Sussex Barn up North Heath Lane now has Sky Sports, food pub but has a few tables to watch the football !!

Rising Sun on Pondtail Road used to be okay but is a fair few years since I was last there. Used to have a proper old bar billiards table in there.
