The Poacher, Hurstpierpoint

By far the better of the pubs in Hurstpierpoint - The new manager is a delight, the staff are friendly and helpful, locals are rife, and if they keep coming back for more it must say something. Agreed that it is a little dark and might benefit from tarting up, but then that's what makes it a typical 'pub' rather than turning it into some kind of wine bar and losing it's traditional values and regulars.

The place has been ruined, and it's disgusting! They've ripped out everything which once showed it wasa village pub - can you beleive the shields from the local tug of war comps ended up in a Brightonflea market because the new owners don't care one bit about any sense of community spirit. To want to be here now I think you have to be a yuppy who wants to pay �5 for a glass of wine whilst taking advantage of the wi-fi. At least it has proven that the Poacher and the White horse are now the real village pubs

eljefe, you're right! They have done great things with the place. All thats needed now is some heating and a lot more organisation! S & E are really into the swing of things now and I really hope they make it.
