A pint of Potton IPA sampled here in excellent condition - pub always worth a look as they do sometimes have interesting guests in addition to the Shep Neames.

Sampled the Dancing Duck 22 on a recent visit - in top notch condition. Nice local pub which has obviously been rejuvenated since the new owners have taken over. Definitely recommended

The Lazy Toad, Shoreham by Sea
Quirky little pub with a good selection of ale straight from the barrel. The Itchen Valley Winchester Ale was excellent.

The Buckingham Arms, Shoreham by Sea
Am always disappointed by this pub, although a large number of pumps on view I always seem to pick a very mediocre beer, again on Saturday the Harveys Mild was poor, drinkable, but only just, the Taylor landlord slightly better. My mate's Itchen Valley Pure Gold was also Hazy and tired. Better quality beer available in other shoreham pubs.

The Duke Of Wellington, Shoreham by Sea
Great little pub, very good selection of beers, now with more guest ales than previously. Had the Triple fff Alton Pride in fine form. Do agree with previous posts that if you are in there for music can be too loud, or maybe I am just getting old!
16 May 2011 16:21
Like the pub, the beer selection changes regularly and you never know what's going to appear. Ilkley Black on last visit - excellent
16 May 2011 16:16
Friendly welcome, the GK Hardys & Hansons bitter was well kept and at �3 a pint, decent value for an area where �3.50 is common
16 May 2011 16:14
Pub ok but prices!!! �3.65 for a pint of Franklyns Bitter - will not bother again
16 May 2011 16:12
Called in saturday afternoon excellent pint of Harveys Mild especially at �2.30 given the high prices in brighton
17 May 2010 10:48
Called in on Saturday afternoon at opening time, friendly staff and pub pleasantly decorated, including a lesser spotted Bar Billiards table!
Choice of two ales Skinners Betty Stogs & Adnams Bitter, chose the latter which was excellent. At �2.80 very competitive considering the high Brighton prices
17 May 2010 10:45
Excellent pint of Moorehouses Blond Witch on Saturday afternoon, bit quiet but seemed quiet everywhere we went to be fair. Friendly bar staff and would definitely return.
17 May 2010 10:43
Called in on Saturday, first time visitor to pub, we were only customers early afternoon would expect to be livelier in evenings. Friendly barmaid, had pint of Dark Star Mild which was on good form.
17 May 2010 10:41
First visit for a while, beer still in fine nick with 4 ales to choose from, chose Jennings Cumberland which was in good nick.
17 May 2010 10:39
Called in on Saturday, food orientated pub, but pleasant surroundings and a choice of 4 Sussex Ales. I had Arundel Gold which was excellent. Bit pricier than Bib & Tucker but would definately go back.
17 May 2010 10:37
Now Bib & Tucker called in Saturday afternoon, pleasant pub, friendly bar staff and an excellent pint of Adnams Bitter (Skinners Betty Stogs also available).
