The Woodman Arms, Hammerpot

A real warm and welcoming atmosphere greets you as soon as you walk in. A real pub as it should be. Thatched, wood burner, good range of fresh cooked food with Fullers beers and guest ales kept in perfect condition by their Master Cellarman. No wonder Fullers awarded the Woodman Arms as their country pub of the year ! Remember to look out on the entertainment evenings for the local Blacksmith - Arthur of Arundel who is hoping to emulate Wagner in next years X Factor !!

The Fox Goes Free, Charlton

Location is everything I guess. Garden in good condition with great views across the Sussex countryside. Olde world feel about the pub with lots of character and characters ! Lunch menu very basic and felt really let down by three of the four meals we had. The lasagne was only just warm and the top layer of cheese had not been browned off, the yolk on the eggs on the ham, eggs and chips were rock hard and the steak and ale pie looked like it had been sitting in the kitchen for days and was very dry. Others in the garden who also had the pie left a lot on their plates uneaten. Worst of all were the vegetables that were frozen and not fresh i.e. frozen peas and sweetcorn and don't have the what was supposed to be bread & butter pudding for a desert. A lovely pub let down badly by the quality of its lunch menu that would be so easy to get right. Come on guy's !
