it's my nearest pub (aside from the Swan) but ive not found it as enjoyable, or as popular as it was a few years back - particularly during the days they used to hold Rock By The River - had some immense days starting and finishing there, but it's a bit too overpriced now for my liking.
Even though i've lived in the area (Fittleworth) for all bar 10 years of my life, it wasn't until...2009 or so i knew about it when a friend living in Bignor suggested it. Even turns out its popular with the Goodwood fans when the FoS is on - had a great night with some Dutch attendees a few...
Another good shout - lovely place, not easy to get to but well worth it. Might bike up there later, it's only 5 miles and i can weave through Coates, which is lovely.
I've not been in there since it changed hands, but a few people i know have said its not atrocious. Is that the case? Shame if so, I loved stopping off there mid bike-ride.
