The Choice of Two Pubs

[LeicesterGull]

Stopping off Saturday lunchtime with group of 13 blokes (stag) for a spot of lunch and have the choice of two country pubs close to Lewis:
- The Black Rabbit, Offham
- The Juggs Arms, Kingston

Can anyone help, re good ale, food and capacity / appropriateness for stag party?

Re-finance if you are going to the Juggs.

 

[Gordon the Gopher]

Weather is nice so although Juggs is pricey, it does have a good garden!

 

[The Large One]

If it's top nosh and good ale you're after in that vicinity, why not go to the Lewes Arms?

Juggs very over-rated and pretty dull.

I'd consider:

The Lamb at Firle if you are on that side of Lewes. Or better still the superb Yew Tree at Chalvington.

Juggs is ok nothing special but a bit pricey,for whatever reason everything in there seems to cost a quid more than anywhere else,out of the 2 i found the grub at the rabbit much better and the wait half as long ,though that maybe down to the amount of people wanting food i guess.

Providing the weather is good The Black Rabbit is in an excellent location with great views of Arundel Castle above the reed banks on the river. One of my favourite spots for a summer pint. Ales normally good, Hall & Woodhouse (Badger, Fursty ferret etc) last time I was there and possibly Cuckmere Valley ales too. Can't really vouch for the food though, it depends who is in charge of the kitchen now, it has been both excellent and dire in recent years, so you'd need a few more recommendations than this one I think.

If "close to Lewes" is what matters, it's got to be the Juggs.

The Black Rabbit is at Offham, near Arundel.

The Offham near Lewes has a Blacksmiths Arms.

Many thanks all.
Taking everyone off for a summer ramble to clear the heads etc so these pubs are options for two walks I've selected, both which end up in Lewes - where the Lewes Arms seems a good bet for our final drink before we head back for lap dancing etc

 

[Lord Bracknell]

I would put both the Ram and the Juggs very close to the BOTTOM of any list of "venues suitable for a stag party".

 

[Tubby Mondays]

If The Juggs is still Shepherd Neame no self respecting beer drinker should be found within 7 miles of it. Kent shit.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Juggs is expensive and wanky.

yeah , with a bunch of morris men and a load of lewes crustys/scruffy middle class dressers

 

[Chester Drawers]

I like Juggs ... the bigger the better

Lewis:

sorry, but that is a schoolboy error

sorry, but that is a schoolboy error

Although not as big one as if they had put Black Rabbit Offham in the sat nav
