Aah, the good old Maid of Sussex! Popped in there the other day after purchasing some new stocks from the 'Cabin Wool Shop', just next door to the off licence, fancying a pint of 'Directors' after all that haggling over Mohair and Alpaca! The Directors was in fine form, pulled by the ever reliable 'Big Colin' (although I must say, how he manages to climb down to the cellar is a mystery to me!). The public bar was lively enough, darts being played in the central area and various good denizens of Three Bridges chatting away. Fancying another, I slipped round to the Saloon Bar (avoiding the eye of Old Carney as I committed treason in his eye by going to the 'House of Lords!). Another pint of Directors ordered i slipped through the doors into the snug area, ordered some of Ita's excelent sheperds pie and settled down with the Telegraph. All in all an excellent pub and the off licence (served via the Public Bar) is great for a few carry outs.
NB Don't forget to stock up from the fishmongers just outside the offie - one of the best in Crawley!

This is NO LONGER A PUB,but an Airport Departure Lounge,i live 2 Minutes away from this Joint,and The Place is Practically Always Empty,all the Old Regulars now Drink in the Plough in Three Bridges.This Excuse for a Bar should be relocated to Crawley Town Centre.I am Afraid that Mr.Beer Monster is Talking out of His Bum.Its People like Him that are Destroying the Traditional English Pub,Shame on Him and His KInd

Thank god this place has completely changed. Could a pub get any more dire than it was? to quote an earlier entry "This Pub has now been Re furbished into a Yuppy Type Wine Bar/internet Cafe cum Resteraunt called Life Bar 1.No Real Ales on Sale,No Pool Tables,No Dart Board,No Juke Box.You are not allowed in if you are wearing either jeans or Trainers." Oh dear what a loss!! Its now classy, trendy and modern with a great selections of beers. And ofcourse its now normally full... the only thing that's missing are the chavs - shame. Well done guys - you've really turned this dire old pub stuck in an 80's time warp into something worth visiting. Great - lets have a few more makeovers in Crawley.

blew me away

Truly bizarre makeover at this pub, I was walking past here on my way into a town and fancied stopping in for a quick sit down and a pint before my christmas shopping and I was gobsamacked about what had been done to this place. The place seems to bear no real relation to where it is, the parade of shops nearby is hardly teeming with businessman on the go yearning to check their email on their laptop whilst munching on a ciabata washed down with a bottle of export lager.

This Pub has now been Re furbished into a Yuppy Type Wine Bar/internet Cafe cum Resteraunt called Life Bar 1.No Real Ales on Sale,No Pool Tables,No Dart Board,No Juke Box.You are not allowed in if you are wearing either jeans or Trainers.Cheapest Food on the Menu is Burger and Chips for a Tenner !!!.I wager that this place will be closed down within Six Months,i came past it on Saturday Night and saw approx 2 couples eating in there,and a few sad Locals supping their overpriced Beers.regarding Atmosphere there is none,the Staff and Owners are doing everything in their power to get rid of the old clientele.All the Ex Regulars seem to be making the longer journey to the Plough in Three Bridges,which still is a real Pub,and serves GREAT BEER with a Smile.

Outstanding home made food.
Welcoming atmosphere.
Has a family room.
Quiet lounge.
Excellent TV bar.
The locals are welcoming, which gives a very pleasing atmosphere.

Great community style pub. Only downside comes from the pool playing Ali G's who don't order a drink and instead pump pound coins into the jukebox.

Old community style pub which has two large bars and a good selection of low cost snacks and meals. One bar has facilities for watching sport, etc. and the other bar is in two parts - one catering for families with children. Excellent beer.
