Lewes Arms, Lewes

Fullers takeover has done some good, and glad to see they honoured the Harveys. Looks pretty busy most nights, has been nicely redecorated and the food is delicious, allbeit in rather small portions that may leave you feeling slightly shortchanged. Good pints of HSB are to be had, plus a very nicely decorated place with decked terrace at the back. Good port of call if you're visiting the town.

The Hobgoblin, Brighton

Really not a good pub at all. The kind of place where not liking Metallica is considered something of a cardinal sin by the patronage. Grubby decor, not a great selection of beer (never cared much for Hobgoblin) and a generally unwelcoming atmosphere. Still, I suppose if you're into that kind of thing its perfect.

The Flying Fish, Newhaven

Service is perfectly acceptable, Shepherd & Neame beers are the next best thing to herveys probably and a lovely cosy place with a roaring fire on cold days and comfy armchairs. However, the food is this place's biggest selling point. Good quality ingredients used (a little more expensive than other places but then one can just have a delicious baguette) and I can't think of any other pub nearby that can offer dishes like Woodpigeon with caramelised pear. Wonderful.
