The Spanish Lady, Saltdean

It was very rough in he past, new owners spent money to clean it up and it seemed to rise, but unfortunately with one exception the staff let it down. Bad enough that the real ale is sold chilled, there is no atmosphere and although the beer price is cheap for the area an incompetence is not forgiveable. Of four ales 2 were off then suddenly after I had taken an alternative I didn't want, 2 people behind me were given the choice I had been told was not available.
There needs to be someone who knows what they are doing, if the clientele with a passion for ale cannot be catered for then they may as well rely on microwaved mush and Eurofizz lagers. A great pity as there is potential.

The Hope Inn, Newhaven

This place gets better all the time. The new owners have been in for just over a year. The food is mostly fresh home made and reasonably priced with big portions. The beer is excellent and obviously well maintained pipes. A range of guest ales, constantly changing. Friendly staff, the way a pub should be!

This place has now closed, I understand they are awaiting planning permission for change of use.
