Still closed, but looks like refurbishment is taking place. Will look out for introduction of handpumps.

The City Inn (Tavern An Dre), Truro
Excellent pub, friendly staff and good beer. My favourite during my brief stay in Truro.

Could be a great place if it had a spring clean; low lighting doesn't hide dirtiness. Unfortunately chose the local beer on handpump, not bad enough to hand back, but only just drinkable.

The sort of place that I'd usually walk past, thinking It'd have nothing to interest me. However, glad I went in; friendly locals and good beer.

Friendly welcoming pub with good beer, if not a particularly interesting selection.

Friendly place, possibly because my team lost! Only gripe; anyone wanting a half was given a flimsy plastic glass.

The first pub I ever visited in Falmouth (last Friday!) Not difficult to see why it is CAMRA's Cornish pub of the year.

Excellent locals pub. If I lived there I'd use it all the time.

Went here last Friday night. Shame back bar was closed. Excellent, strong pickled egg.

The Duke of Wellington, Hastings
Appears to be closed every time that I go past, at various times of the day.

The Filo (First In Last Out), Hastings
Now has a bright sunny non-smoking extension at the back.

George, the best landlord in Hastings in my opinion, has now retired. Thank you and have a happy retirement George.

Closed at present due to landlord losing licence, unfairly in my opinion. Despite being an award winning pub, hasn't sold any real ale for years.

The new bar is settling in nicely, the Sussex beers are in tip top condition and many of the bar staff may be foreign, but they know how to serve a full pint and are polite and friendly.

The Dripping Spring, St Leonards on Sea
Changed hands again. Need to visit to see if it's still up to the same standard.

Just don't hand your beer back, even if it is obviously off. If you do expect your opinion to be questioned, even if the bar staff admit to knowing nothing about real ale. I've never been very impressed and I'm even more underwhelmed now.

The Rooms Cafe Bar, St Leonards on Sea
Good food, but slow service, good job I didn't have to rush back to work. Menu is all veggie, so, as I am a keen meat eater, it must have been good.
Some bottled conditioned beers were available.

The Dripping Spring, St Leonards on Sea
I hadn't visited the pub for some time, so I went along at 10pm on a Friday and it was closed. I hope that this doesn't mean the end of what has been a fine pub.

The Grove Tavern, Tunbridge Wells
A nice little boozer, but a bit awkward to move around if anyone is playing pool.

The Opera House, Tunbridge Wells
As a building, rates alongside Folkestone as the most interesting Wetherspoons that I've visited.

Not my cup of tea at all, but if you like loud modern music and like lager and / or alcopops, I would recommend it for you.

This pub has been excellently renovated. Serves the full seasonal range of Harveys' beers. Mild �2.05 per pint. Not to be missed if you're visiting Eastbourne.

If it's quiet don't use the top bar, as you might have to wait even longer to be served than in The Humphrey Bean.
13 Nov 2006 10:34
Staff are friendly. Beers are of variable quality, best ask a friend before ordering a pint.

George is a first class landlord. Always firendly to his customers and a good range of Sheps beers.
13 Nov 2006 10:29
I've no idea why it isn't as popular as The Anchor. Maybe because it hasn't got any ghosts.

Now a four star non-smoking hotel - The White Rock Hotel. Excellent choice of 4 Sussex beers. Worthy entry in 2007 GBG.

Sadly closed end 10/06 due to uncertain future of Hastings Pier.

The Cinque Port Arms, Hastings
Always friendly with an interesting mix of locals. I always try the ESB.
