The Jolly Sportsman, East Chiltington

We love this pub. Very good food, nice staff and a warm atmosphere. Lovely setting too, down a winding little lane. Like the fact you can either eat in the cosy bar or the more formal restaurant.

Park View, Brighton

Good enough pub I suppose, especially if it's warm and you can sit outside, but food very average, with everything obviously cooked in the microwave. Staff young and inexperienced so be prepared to wait if it's busy.

The Anchor, Barcombe

Lovely setting by a river, and good fun for kids who want to play in the garden, but when we went, the food was poor. When we asked the owner (?) what was good on the menu, and he said 'well, the fish is excellent today', implying it was freshly caught - but when it arrived, it wasn't fresh, just battered and deep fried, served with frozen peas! A portion of bread was �3!! Won't be bothering again - spoilt for choice in Sussex for better country pubs that don't rely on location alone to pull in the punters.
