Abergavenny Arms, Rodmellback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Great place. Very much a food pub - very good and resonably priced - but excellent Harveys and good range of local guest beers.
Well situated pub for walkers on the South Downs Way and the Sussex Ouse Valley Way. Walkers welcomed.

A fantastic village pub with lots of history. Recent years have been hard and many in the village feared we would lose it. Since September Jon and Lucie have bravely taken a 10 year lease on the place. They have already transformed the atmosphere and are gradually upgrading and repairing the rather tired decor as funds allow. This is well worth a visit especially if you haven't been in in for a while. The Harveys is excellent and they also have a good guest beer, sometimes two at busy times of the year. The food is good and the games room now features a pool table, dart board and Toad.

Very impressed. Decor, ambience and service all good and the food was first rate. The only fly in the ointment was that there were only two cask ales (both Dark Star) - the third, probably Hophead, was off and the Partridge bitter, although tasty enough, could have been a bit colder. Nonetheless we fully intend coming again.

Pleasant pub which is the only one (or one of very few) on this road between Lewes and Newhaven.

Review of Abergavenny Arms from 6 October 2011
This pub is beautiful!! So peaceful and quiet tucked away in this lovely little village (with not even a shop in sight!!)..
The food arrived quick as a flash (it seemed) and was such a large portion that i had to take the remainder in a doggy bag as it was so good so i could finish it later!!!
Such a pity more pubs are not like this!!!!

As Jack Spraggon says, food is the main thing here, but drinkers have the space to enjoy a pint without feeling they're in the way. Care has obviously been taken over the design and decor, but I'm afraid I don't like the end product; to me it just doesn't feel like a pub any more. But that said, I've known a lot worse, and I wouldn't be averse to stopping off here if the occasion arose.

Been here twice since it reopened. Very nicely done out with friendly service. Food takes precedence, but there is still room to just drink a refreshing pint if you have come down the hill from the South Downs Way. Also, sandwiches on the menu, which I always see as a good sign - I don't usually want a sit down meal when walking.
One of the best pub signs around too! Recommended.

We visited this pub (local to us) for our Anniversary-We had a warm welcome, and good service.
The food was well presented, the Menu had a good variety, more importantly, local produce, home cooked food..........Nothing was to much trouble, I could not have sugar in anything or carbs (turns to sugar!) and they helped me orgainise my food choices and substitute potatoes for something else.
The ambiance was lovely and relaxing, parking brilliant! All in All, highly recommended, you must visit, we will go again. Cllr Su Bratchie

Excellent pub reopened in 2009 and now offers great food and a decor that maintains traditional elements beneath the gently stylish revamp. Highly recommended.
