The Arun View Inn, Littlehampton

Visited this pub just before christmas, food average & small portions for the price, and at �13.50 for a bottle of house plonk it's over priced.
It does'nt deserve the reputation that it has, won't be returning.

The Crown Hotel, Littlehampton

At last Littlehampton has a pub where the owner has actually put his money where his mouth is & taken a big gamble with this pub
Kevin Jenkins has spent a lot of money getting the Crown up & running again, has it worked, the pub is packed every night, you get a decently priced pint & good food at very reasonable prices, I'd say it's been a resounding success. Look at all of the ex Dolphin & Wetherspoon punters who are drinking at the Crown now.
The pub have just produced the first real ale from their micro brewery " The Crown Jewels"
Last Christmas all of the pub regulars were given a free glass with their name etched on it & the Crown have just started to issue their own loyalty card.
And guess what folks, in this pub the owner actually WORKS behind the bar & his wife runs the food side.
One poster said there was'nt much of a pub feeling, well the atmosphere's better than any other pub i've visited in Littlehampton.Have you been in the Cob & Pen lately? they call it the Moon, (no atmosphere, no people) the Dolphin, if you can stand the stench of the candles on a saturday morning, or if you like Elvis Pesley well it's your kind of pub, it is'nt mine.
In my opinion the Crown is a success story, long may it last.
