[Food] Where is the best Cheese Ploughmans in Sussex

[Sid and the Sharknados]

I have not had a ploughmans for donkeys. If this is what they are now serving the farmers are being screwed again I reckon.
No pork pie, is why this country is in s""t street.
Were you feeling hungry within the hour?

I'm a happy clappy, open minded, live and let live kind of a person. But that said, people who think a ploughman's lunch should include a pork pie need to be stapled to a barn door via their scrotum.

Haven't been following the thread but surely a ploughman's must include a pickled onion? And surely some apple.

Today's did include a pickled onion, along with Branston/sweet pickle, coleslaw and something that was piccalilli-like.

No apple though.

There are two pubs in the middle of Findon Village and both have been going as long as I can remember - The Gun, which is just a lovely country pub, and The Village House. I've always liked The Gun so much, I've never bothered going into the latter.

On the outskirts of the village, on the A24, there is The Black Horse which may have been closed at some point. I know it's changed owners a fair bit, including one sadly passing away. @Lenny Rider will know more detail than me.

That must've been the one - I distinctly remember the name. I must head back there and see if it jogs my memory (I'm talking about 20 years ago!)

Thanks Bozza, yes I was a silent partner at the Black Horse from October 2017 to early 2019, sadly my business partner Mike Shiel died suddenly in November 2018.

Thankfully the new people are as committed as Mike was and it’s still an excellent establishment, but I’m not sure if they do a Ploughmans

However the Coach and Horses on the A27 do the best one in the Town by a Country Mile

Agreed - it's amazing!

No pork pie, but as a vegetarian, that wasn't a major issue for me.

There was a meat option, but I went for cheese only.

Surprised to see a ploughman’s on the menu at The Gun, Findon Village today but both @Giraffe and I indulged.

Enjoyed it very much but, looking back at the photos from the Coach and Horses, it probably wasn’t quite as good.

Better pub though - love The Gun.

I had porridge for breakfast and a banana for lunch. You are an absolute piss-taker.
