[Sussex] Worse pub in Sussex?

[Albion my Albion]

Wish I'd be knocked down.

Used to be called The Crown & Anchor by day, but by night The Crown & *anker! My Mrs used to work in the restaurant under the old management. Really lovely people. Did great food, the best Sussex Smokie ever.
Sheperds Neame bought it & it's muck on a truck delivered chilled for re-heating now.

The old owners are friends of mine. The place was lovely when they were there. Tragically the guy passed away last year after getting out of the pub game.

It isn't called the Rocket. Hasn't been for years. It's under new management and is now one of the better pubs.

The Rocket was legendary .... even The Cure played in there

Nah ... The Cure were legendary, they even played in The Rocket

The Snooty Fox at Three Bridges hands down.

Run by a Palace fan.

Says it all.

got stuck in there waiting for a rail replacement bus a few times

God, that place is full of nutters while waiting for a rail replacement bus on a Saturday night. Good shout.

Snooty Fox is a hole for sure, but on the (somewhat low scoring) scale of Crawley pubs out there, probably not the worst.

The Top House in B.Hill (or the Burgess Hill Inn as it is now called) is a dive as well, last time I went in there a full scale riot kicked off, glasses and furniture being thrown being thrown everywhere and the Police van turned up sharpish. Rozzers asked the landlord to close the pub immediately

Tbh, most 'station' pubs are terrible. The Burrell in HH, the Hassocks just as bad imo.

Although the nearest pub to the station in Burgess Hill - The Railway - is a bit soulless and corporate but not by any stretch a dive.

I actually quite like the Top House, it is a bit rough and ready and can get a bit lairy at times but it is a "proper" pub with a bit of personality.

I know it goes against the grain for a lot of people, but the only bars outside the city center in Prague/Plzen that a full, are the ones where you can smoke cigarettes or weed or both, otherwise they are mostly very quiet unless they are a restaurant as well, and even then, have to be a fairly decent restaurant. Seems as though a lot more people smoke here than in the UK. Ive never seen so many young women smoking as I have here.
They changed the law here last year or the year before, and it killed the vibes in Zizkov, but still a few places where people smoke, but they are generally bars that have a bell to get in etc.
When I was younger, I used to go to the George in Portslade Old Village, and it used to get rammed at weekends. Went there last year, and there was only me and the barmaid. Pretty sad really.

Yup, was in the Bedford a month ago, wondered what the strange smell was yes bloke next to me having a fag, s'pose it could have been worst.

I'm shocked, thats two people just on this thread that have been in there recently!

Visit Rye Harbour regularly so "doing" all the Rye pubs, ancestors used to run the King Wm IV and Albion Commercial Inn

It is crap, but it's about 1000 times better than the old Fox that used to be there!

Went to this tiny bar in Prague with a mate a year or two back, wanted to try an authentic locals pub. It was certainly that. The beer was grand but... MY. GOD. Only lasted twenty minutes before we had to run out, eyes streaming, clothes stinking. The place was rammed with locals, including a few local police in uniform. Literally every single customer was smoking. Only ventilation was a tiny open window. You could cut the fug with a knife. As you can even see in the photo! Worst of all, there was a young waitress in there bringing food and drinks to your table if that's what you wanted. Doesn't bear thinking about the damage she's doing to her lungs working an eight or ten hour shift in that place. Absolutely dreadful.

The Farmers - Lancing. Throw back to the stone age.

Not even the worst pub in Lancing.

Hikers Rest, Franklin Tavern, Bat and Ball.

Hikers Rest now called Ruby must still awful.

Its a bit weird as the laws here seem to be applied on a sporadic basis.
Ive spoken to cops smoking cigarettes, and joints in bars here. Most dont give a toss, although on one memorable night they showed up to my mates place which was a weed place mob handed, and carted us all, the entire bar, to the nick. Let us go after 2 hours. No fine, no real bollocking about it. You never know. Makes it a bit exciting haha

A bit pricey but a decent pub. Go there to watch Albion when they're on Sky.

They sell Harvey's - that's good enough for me
