Worst Boozer in Sussex

[Hercules Rockerfeller]

The Whistlestop next to Portslade station

Only pub I have ever been chased out of!

 

[Gully]

The Swan (or whatever it is now called) in Pulborough...if you were from Storrington you were not welcome in there...end of!

Blimey Gully, There has been flats where the Swan was, for years.

...I haven't been back to Sussex for years!

The Swan was always full of pathalogical jockeys from Harwoods yard...who wanted to pick a fight with anyone, shocking thing was that they usually won!

another vote for the duck in haywards heath . it is now closed.

how about the "i go inn" in kemp town . you know those western films where someone comes flying out of the window? walked past there one evening and this woman came flying out of the door . then followed by another woman who had a huge scrap in the street. great entertainment. everyone in the rock opposite (v nice pub) loved it

Were you around when an old boss of mine brought The swan and renamed it The Parrot at swan corner? The locals went mad

railway bell by brighton station was gawdawful, always filled with smoke.. may have improved since the ciggie ban though..?

mitre, oxford street brighton, the carpets were so sticky with a decade of spilt booze, that my shoes were sticking to it, and the clientel.... dont even go there !!!!

 

[Father Jack]

Three Horse Shoes, Merry Monk and The Farmers all in Lancing, Tophouse in the Hill is also poor.

About four years ago, I went to a pub opposite Chichester station which was dreadful. No decent beer, filthy tables and full of neanderthals.

I was still going back there then, remember the pub being called something outrageously stupid and completely out of keeping with the area...thanks for jogging the memory...Pulborough was never top of my list of places to visit at the best of times, best thing to come out of there was the train or the A29.

 

[simon195]

rosehill, nr preston circus. one ofthe locals 'borrowed' (ie, nicked) my coat, to come home in! dont mind me, freezing to death!

I got i back next day, though..

what about the northern near there?? shysters unlimited in there!!

Was it The Globe?

 

[Djmiles]

Think it might have closed now, but the Duck in Haywards Heath was always pretty damn awful.

It's been torn down in the last couple of weeks

 

[MJsGhost]

Bow Street Runner?

Good Companion?

 

[empire]

tbh any pub in lancing is utter cack,unless you like a fight,and young chavs although the crabtree is fairly respectable

They didn't like outsiders did they? as I found out to my cost a couple of times.

 

[Weatherman]

The Bat and Ball, yet unbelievably it was the only pub in the area that asked my 24 year old son for i.d.

 

[southwickseagull]

The Clifton

. Absolutely agree, if you mean the one in Worthing. Full of drunken arseholes, they serve school kids with booze. 2 or 3 fights a week, police seen permanently camped outside, but do nothing. Should have been closed years ago.

Was it The Globe?

Can't remember its name - it was a shocker.

I've not been in it, but the pub on London Rd, Brighton, a few doors away from Richer Sounds always seems to have the street's more, er, colourful characters sitting outside it.
