We visited to take part in a quizz. Approx 16 people attended. The service provided by the pub was first class, from the care and attention to the quality of the pre-ordered lunch was very good. We would go back again

Excellent, we were only there to see a music gig, at the mid Sussex music hall (which is attached to the pub) the pub though seemed really friendly. Service was good and fast. So we had our drinks, then round the side to the music venue. So I will definitely go back in the future
