Needs an update.

It doesn't even include the excellent, if slow, The Walrus on Ship Street.

Too many to mention, but the Red Lion in Snargate on Romney Marsh was (and hopefully still is) a gem, the perfect village pub with a lovely garden. The landlady was a former land girl in her 80s who was insufferably rude and profoundly deaf (you had to literally shout your orders at her). I think she's passed on now, unfortuantely.

used to be the globe...?? end of the tunnel by home field pk..?

I believe the Globe has been converted into flats,not sure how long ago but would guess nearly ten years.

 

[Seagull on the Hill]

which gun is this...?? patching...?

No, it's The Gun on Gun Hill near Horam

The Thieves'!

Up until the mid-eighties, it was the best pub in the world.
Many happy memories.

The Thieves in Worthing and Ye olde trip to Jerusalem in Nottingham were my two favourite pubs ever.

I have been there a few times over the years, but always see it as a missed opportunity.
Should be great, but it isn’t imho, of course.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

no mate , im thinking of the one that was at some time called the swiss cottage , big , posh gaff about half a km west of st marys church.way after my time .

Ahh I think I know where you mean, it was a small hotel, with a cellar bar, when i was in Worthing.
I lived in a flat in Park Crescent before moving to Cobden road - used to duck into the cellar bar a bit.

The thing I loved about living there was you had the Cobden, Jolly Brewers and the Hotel Cellar bar all in staggering distance from home.

Think the one with the cellar bar may be the old Beechwood hall hotel,currently a recently renovated Brewhouse place.

Whatever happened to Leotard Len from the Montague days ?

That’s what I noticed. I rate that pub highly. Also, if you want a treat, pop down to the basement venue there on most Saturday nights.

It speeds up a bit ;-)

 

[Screaming J]

Turks Head, St Helens. My local and a brilliant pub!

As I said only four minutes before your original question:

Was my local (The Castle Ale House and was even called that in some way or form when it first opened it's doors, so lost it heritage) and my darts teams venue, until they decided they didn't want us during renovation. Won't step foot back in there the way we were treated. They originally told the previous owner that they would be no issues with us staying there. Bumped into one of the old regulars the other day and he's not impressed with what they've done either.

Seems fine if you want a decent craft beer but apart from that......
