The Hope Inn, Newhaven

Well worth the small trek towards the beach front/harbour. Have visited this pub many times and each visit never fails to disappoint. The Food is fantastic. From experience our food has always been freshly cooked, plentiful, piping hot and delivered rapidly. Beer is good, serving a nice pint of John Smiths Smooth (personal tipple sorry), Staff are very pleasant and more than happy to help, surroundings are clean and tidy with plenty of table space available (including some outside for a day visit). Plenty of Car parking available directly opposite the pub. Highly recommended.
A 'Good' Dog friendly pub with water available.
Well Done all at the Hope.

The Badgers Watch, Peacehaven

We "experienced" it here once - that was enough! got a table which we had to clear ourselves, luke warm/cold food eventually 'arrived' and was promptly returned having made some minor adjustments to the food (as a test).. the test worked - the same luke warm/cold food came back with slightly warmer gravy on it.. and the carbonara was 'just' edible (only cos our child didnt want to moan and was starving by then) - needless to say we went hungry and was allowed a refund on the meals we didnt eat. Plus points?? mmm (hard one) suppose the Beer & drinks were ok (but the second round never arrived)and the chips ordered for our other child arrived hot!... Best part of the whole 'experience' was the 'spin the spooon' game we made with the numbered wooden spoon on our table! LOL.. Rating 2 (only cos of the entertainment the spoon gave us). Very Disappointing!
