Mullens, Eastbourne

Traditional pub with a nice local feel to it. Has a huge virtually empty room at the back with a large projection screen for TV events, and a small but welcoming courtyard out the back. Harveys best at a good price during televised footy matches.

The Martello Inn, Eastbourne

This pub does indeed have a ridiculously cheap menu., although when I went in a couple complained that they never received the food they'd ordered and had to accept a refund. Have to be there before two o'clock to order.
Typical estate pub, friendly enough, with few frills.
Tim Taylor Landlord was available.

The Lodge, Eastbourne

Think this pub has recently closed, as it had high exclusion fencing all round when I walked past.

Arlington Arms, Eastbourne

Went in here on a Saturday early evening. Good laid back atmosphere except for a few loud and foul-mouthed drunks who had probably overstayed their welcome following a lunchtime footy game on TV.

Harveys stout was an excellent find, and soaking up the sun in the decent sized garden was a treat after the dreadful rain.

The Golden Cross, Hove

Now been given a makeover (for the better!) and changed its name to the Jamaica Inn.
Excellent feel, good music, and a reportedly excellent kitchen featuring various "Reggae" food.

The Jack and Jill Inn, Clayton

I can only say similarly good things as everyone else.
Service was spot-on, cheerful, attentive, and welcoming. Didn't try the food so can't comment. Atmosphere was relaxed and quiet - unsurprising at early evening on a Tuesday.
Excellent real ale - regularly changing guests. When I visited they had Dark Star's Winter Solstice, Bishops Finger, and one other I can't remember just now ...
Another big plus ... it has a bar billiards table.

Olde Coach House, East Preston

Went to this pub just before 10pm on a Wednesday for a quick visit while waiting for a train. As I said, it's been done up, and looks quite smart.
Atmosphere was poor - largely let down by the overpowering lighting that made it feel for like a shop.
Has the one real ale - spitfire - and a bonus for cider drinking was Westons Old Rosie on the only other handpump. Another plus point was the bar billiards table.
Thet really do need to getr that lighting sorted, and perhaps a choice of ales, then it'll be quite a decent place.

The Locomotive, Wick

Decent pub very handy for Wick FC. Friendly atmosphere when I was there (about 19:30 on a Tuesday).
Four ale pumps but only two in action (Spitfire and Flowers IPA). Had the latter - perfectly adequate.
Has the welcome attraction of Bar billiards as well as pool. Recommended

The Windmill Inn, Rustington

Had a quick pint on my way to Wick footy at about 18:30.
No atmosphere (well it was early I suppose ...) and the barman seemed quite grumpy.
Good selection of ales (four pumps). I had a pint of "Strongs" (they also had an Arundel beer on as well as two commoners).
Important to note that this is a NON-SMOKING pub. If you want to light up you'll have to go out the back where there's several tables on a patio adjacent to the car park.

The Fletcher Arms, East Preston

I was going to pop in for a quick pint on my way back from Littlehampton but found that the pub is currently being renovated, and is due to re-open as "The Olde Coach House" in thre day's time (as it said on the banner outside. Have to try another time ... It's just over the road from Angmering station.
