Mate of mine lived over in Alfriston & they had a few older games over there. I was introduced to Toad in the Hole which I'd never heard if. I think that was in the olde smugglers. All a bit before my day, although I recall the days a 20 & 10 pence got you a game of pool.

Used to love playing bar billiards in the late 60's/early 70.s at The Wilmington - Patcham (my then local). Bet it or the pub aren't there anymore!

Bar Billiards great game, last time I played that was about 10 years ago in the Racecourse Pub on Elm Grove which has now been converted into flats for degenerates.

The pub is still there, it's known as The Long Man of Wilmington.
Don't know if it's still got a bar billiards table.

If ever you were going to reject a pub on name alone ...
If not you'd probably reject it on location

Try The Laughing Fish by Isfield station.
I'm surprised you'd never heard of Toad in the Hole. Though thinking about it, it was always much bigger in Lewes pubs than in Brighton.

As someone who has lived in West Sussex all my life, Toad is a game I only heard of when I started working in Lewes and which seems to be very much local to Lewes and the surrounding villages
