Paxtons Head, Knightsbridge

Very, very average pub. There are a lot of worse pubs in London, and there are a lot of better pubs as well.

I suppose a good reason for going would be just to see what a truly typical pub is like and then being able to use it as a yardstick for all hostelries visited after that.

The White Harte, Cuckfield

Went there last night, good beer on tap (Badger Pickled Partridge), friendly landlord, good Thai curry to take away the winter chill, decent jukebox, friendly darts players... real little gem of a pub. Well worth a visit.

The Talbot Inn, Cuckfield

Used to be a good pub, used to have character and be a big part of the Independent State of Cuckfield movement.

And now? A totally ****y refit that could be the carbon copy of any trendy drinking hole in Brighton, London, Manchester - it has become the exact antithesis of what a village pub should be. Refurbing a pub like this should be a criminal offence.
