Anyone tried the Stanley Ale House in Lancing?
Yes it`s great, normally have 4 local beers on tap.Anyone tried the Stanley Ale House in Lancing?
That isn't totally true. My son, born and raised in Brighton, has a flat (a very nice one) in Mariner's Point opposite the Welly. Also it's Housing Association so he's bought 25% of it and rents the other 75% very reasonably. Quite a few others in the block are also Sussex born and raised and are also benefitting from the same deal.Shoreham is a bit grim now isn’t it unless you’re on the lash. Lived there for the first 20 years of my life, I’m not even 30 and hate what it’s become.
The amount of new blocks of flats going up is ridiculous, all for the DFL crowd to continue to gentrify the absolute shit out of it. I’m worried about when Lancing follows.
They have these things called bridges…..From what I read on here, crossing the Adur makes it difficult to reach the Amex, no?
It’s shame that even this relatively new block is about to be swamped in darkness from the massive block going up opposite.That isn't totally true.

However I agree that the number going up is ridiculous though. The A259 past his door is just a solid stream of traffic all day.

Unfit for human habitation?
This is very spooky! I went in earlier for a coffee ... first time I've been in there for some time. I was taken back when I saw the blue haired American lady as she previously worked at the Harris & Hoole outlet at Holmbush. Her attitude was always very aggressive and on one occasion I had to take it up with their head office. I used to use H&H quite a lot when shopping ... coffee usually decent. But then had a few not so good and one was absolutely shocking. I took it back and asked if it could be remade ... her response was just shocking and she refused!!Popped in to my favourite Shoreham cafe after a while of not having time to do a leisurely brekkie for some time.
Looking forward to their full English, which although a bit pricey has always been superb. And run by friendly people who are happy to have a chat and catch up.
Imagine my horror. Firstly it smells rotten. Like mildew mixed with industrial, wanking booth grade detergent.
I said hi! To the two ladies behind the counter. To my surprise they answered in American accents.
Okay. I couldn’t see any menus so asked for a breakfast menu. No menu. Just some sorry looking pastries at the back and a couple of lonely quiches under the glass cloche.
I was disappointed but politely and cheerily said “ah! I was looking for a cooked breakfast, not to worry”!
Her response?
“I’m not worried”
Well you f***ing should be. That place would normally be heaving with after school drop off milf at this time. Today? One lady in the corner nursing a coffee.
When did this change? I didn’t think I’d been away that long.
Settled for Tom’s. Which while being a bit of a rip off, was tasty. No full English though.
Shoreham is fast becoming the stronghold of the yoga mat and labradoodle crowd. I’m glad I moved along the road few years back. Nice to visit, pubs are great but it’s changing exponentially and getting worse.
Americans!? Gawd help us all.
Clamp: "now make the rashers, and the eggs, stick a sausage next to the rashers, cut a tomato I'm half and serve the 'sandwich bread' toasted on its own, buttered, on the side of the plate and we've got ourselves a deal.Customer service is not rocket science.
Clamp: I was after a cooked breakfast. Not to worry.
Artisan: I'm sorry, we don't do cooked breakfasts, but we can do you a bacon and egg sandwich?
Clamp: Yes, please.
Artisan: Would you like to go large with two eggs and two rashers?
Clamp: Yes, all right then.
Or something along those lines. It's not difficult.
To be fair he did retract.There’s always one who operates their keyboard before engaging their brain.
Ah! That’s interesting! On a few levels.This is very spooky! I went in earlier for a coffee ... first time I've been in there for some time. I was taken back when I saw the blue haired American lady as she previously worked at the Harris & Hoole outlet at Holmbush. Her attitude was always very aggressive and on one occasion I had to take it up with their head office. I used to use H&H quite a lot when shopping ... coffee usually decent. But then had a few not so good and one was absolutely shocking. I took it back and asked if it could be remade ... her response was just shocking and she refused!!
I ended up getting a call from someone at cafe Nero who own H&H and they were very apologetic ... sent me loads of vouchers for Nero.
She is very abrupt and should not be in a customer facing role!
Fair enough. I’ve lived in Sompting for 6 years and never had/seen any trouble.To be fair he did retract.
I’m not blind, I know there are some let’s do Lancing that aren’t great. But it’s far from a shithole.
Having said that, outsiders…stay away. You wouldn’t like it. It’s a dump.
I have no experience other than the high street and the training ground, I think its fair to say the high street is a bit of a dive, I always thought the other parts were more somptingTo be fair he did retract.

Sompting is lovely. If I didn’t live by the beach I’d look up there.Fair enough. I’ve lived in Sompting for 6 years and never had/seen any trouble.
The morning star got knocked down and they built a block of flats . . . . The Burrels is mostly a block of flats, the Surry arms got turned into flats . . . . There's a bit of a themeI assume your referencing Haywards Heath here. When I worked there it always amazing me what dives those two pubs were given the local demographic and the types of business in Perrymount Road.
The areas in the shots I posted are all Lancing and North Lancing.I have no experience other than the high street and the training ground, I think its fair to say the high street is a bit of a dive, I always thought the other parts were more sompting
