Hungry Horse pub so Green King.
Here last Saturday and quite busy but only 2 real ales available.
GK IPA & Abbott.
I had a pint of the latter which was ok and cost £3.30.

what a nasty place. Gone downhill since my last visit. Now you have to pay for parking - they claim it's cos of parking issues - always empty - was that an issue.
Food burnt - service slow and unhappy. No manager around.

We went on a Monday night, but they seemed to have run very low on stocks.They had run out of the following : Burgers, Rib eye steak, large Rump steaks, onion rings & vanilla ice cream - all of which seem pretty basic to a pub restaurant. They even ran out of steak knives when our food turned up. The duty manager explained that they were awaiting a delivery.
The restaurant was no more than 1/3 full, yet the duty manager kept appologising for delays due to the fact they were so busy!
When the food arrived, it was all ok, but the evening had already been spoilt by the lack of choice.
We were very dissapointed with our visit, and will certainly not be returning.

not been in here for a good few years but it used to run by morons. vegetables from their sunday carvery were all microwaved and some of the bar stuff were planks. aside from the people working there it has potential as an actual establishment as it has a large car park and the location is quite handy.

Have not been back here for some time (will do so next week) but I have to add to the comments below. Dan was the only one who seemed to have a head on his shoulders.
Last time we were there, Dan wasn't and they served us our dessert before the main course along with the bill!!

In reply to 'Biker' - I certainly am not related in any way or form to Sussex Yeoman. Regarding Directors - yes, it's still there. Any complaints should be addressed to Spiritgroup.com - as they control which ales are sold inhouse.
You will be relieved to know the scampi was fine, as were the chicken skewers, beef & ale pie, and Italian chicken. Not all mine - visited with friends!
Service at the bar was, again, efficient by 'Dan'. Kronenburg was right temp as was JSmiths and white wine.
It had been a busy day there due to a (jolly) hockey tournament. Food was delivered in 12 mins and tasted satisfactory!
It's not really a pub for real buff(oon)s, but offered a varied range in both prices and ABVs.
Atmosphere was warm and friendly with all ages present in both bar and restaurant.
Will visit again on a day when there is no all day event being hosted locally - needless to say they coped well under the obvious pressure.
2for1 was taken and price for four plus drinks was under �25.00!

I visited this pub recently and would thoroughly recommend it. The atmosphere was friendly and the customers were of all ages and demographics.
I don't think a pub can be reasonably slated if it doesn't have more than 3 real ales. The pub companies generally go for popular ales. The ale I chose was clean and dropped bright.Service was efficient and with a smile. Interior was clean and fresh looking. Food was delivered within 15 minutes and suitably hot!
I recommend this pub if you want a decent lunch. I will visit again in the evening to compare.

I have asked the administrators of this site to remove my first review for this pub as it's no longer accurate, this pub has slipped a long way. Not recommended.

What a horrible pub. Went there on a friends leaving do last night and apart from the good company the only saving grace was the mixed grill and the directors being served at room temperature rather than -10 degrees. Not enough bar staff to cope and are the type who don't know who was next to be served so just wait for those that shout the loudest and serve them first.
Run by teenagers and it shows. I was shortchanged a fiver but the barmaid was having none of it. The 'manager' cashed up the tills at the end of the night and they were miraculously 94 pence over. I will NEVER set foot in this awful place again.
My previous lunchtime visit about three months ago consisted of being seated and the waitress reading out a long list of meals. As there were so many we thought they were the day's specials but in fact it was the stuff that they had run out of! 'Nuff said.....

2 for 1 on a great variety of edible food. Plenty of it and a good atmosphere. Before the no smoking ban was not for those of us who are non smokers as we had to get the drinks from the bar.

ok if you like cheap microwave food,
