The Ram Inn, Firle

Took a trip out to the Ram a few Sundays back, admittedly we didn't eat on this particular occasion however we have in the past. It is very foodie & it can sometimes be a little hit or miss however the staff more than make up for it. They are a huge asset to the pub. They clearly enjoy working there & that speaks volumes for the management/owners.
I agree with one reviewer that a lot of tables are reserved for later times which can be annoying but they let you use them up until the booked time so its a consultation of sorts.
For years it has had a good reputation which took a slight knock a few years back but it has come back fighting.

Park View, Brighton

We were regular visitors to the Park View because they allow dogs so it is perfect for an early evening drink after a walk & several bowls of moorish chilli puffs but we made the mistake of eating there. We had Sunday lunch & although my husband said his roast was ok my terrine was so disgusting that I swear they had run out of terrine & a tin of dog food came to hand! I hate to be so mean but it is such a shame that this pub isn't better.
The bar staff could do with a lesson in customer service, they look miserable the minute you walk in the door & barely acknowledge you.
They offer a good selection of beers & wines so someone there has some enthusiasm, perhaps the brewery isn't giving them the support they need?
It has so much potential perhaps in the right hands it could be so much more.
