The Golden Lion, Southwick

Another visit, another disappointment. "Beer was okay" is the best I can say about this place. The staff were, as noticed also by Regularpubuser50, behaving rudely and were not at all welcoming. The 6 of us went in to book Sunday lunch. However, once we'd all met the staff, we decided not to bother and went down to The Red Lion to book in. (review to follow once we've been!).
Locke - when I commented on the Aussie barmaid, I was trying to convey a sense of how the place felt, not to "name and shame" anyone! I have visited the place many times over the years and known many of the staff, including thatone. Ray and Janet employed many good staff. This is not, however, the place to discuss favourites by name!
Mitme ... get over yourself! I have had interesting conversations with members of the Bazeley (thanks for correct spelling btw) family. It seems you may need to make a closer check of your facts. (are you a "real villager"? ). I may not try this pub again, perhaps in the summer.

Home at last! Well, that was the feeling I got when I walked into this lovely old pub again tonight. Absolutely brilliant.

Very interesting idea but not really my sort of thing. I agree with others that the staff didn't seem to be at all friendly when we arrived - put me off straight away really. Won't be bothering again but i'm sure I won't be missed.
