You can choose as many as you want from that list.

Mash Tun - It's a bit naff but I tend to only stand outside and I'm not sure I've ever been there without already being hammered so hard to form an opinion
King & Queen - Meh, it can be decent for watching football
Caroline of Brunswick - HELL ON EARTH
Haven't been in the other three.

You can probably guess the one I voted for.

Nibble · May 14, 2014

King & Queen for me but I don't know many of the pubs on this list. The Mash Tun is quite nice in Summer if you get a seat outside, quite a nice buzz about that area on a nice summer's evening.

In the pic of the Spanish Lady, is the cone blocking the door because the photo was taken when the roof fell in on one side of the bar and it took ages to get fixed but they stayed open regardless?

Have they got a pool table back in there yet? Didn't it get removed because the landlord got attacked with pool cues after barring a few unsavoury characters

I noticed now, but had already given my vote before I spotted that and you can't go back and change your vote

It can't be a year since we last did this?

The Spanish · May 14, 2014

cant see anything wrong with most of those pubs.

Go to the Spanish Lady sometime, it's great.

Actually, no. Don't. Really, don't.

Mackenzie · May 14, 2014

I hope none of the landlords of these pubs read NSC.

Nerdy question (for my own nerd fact satiation) but is the Spanish Lady defo in B&H? I always assumed that the border ran down the middle of the road, but better nerds than me have said the border moves to include the East side of the last few yards towards the coast. There seems some debate about what point it moves though, ie is it just above or just below the pub? Sure this must have bern discussed elsewhere. Just asking. Ta.

King of Queen?!?

You see now I really want to go there to see just how bad it is.

The boundary does indeed go up the centre of Longridge Avenue, but just to confuse matters, cuts off at 'about' (according to the Saltdean Residents' website) the Spanish Lady, so that the three southerly buildings on the east side of that road are in Brighton. In other words, it's a bit confusing.

The only thing I could find online definitively was that the hygiene inspections for the Spanish Lady are carried out by Brighton & Hove City Council.

The Kid Frankie · May 15, 2014

The Spanish is currently closed for (seriously much needed) refurbishment. Word has it will not even be called the Spanish Lady when it re-opens on the 21st of May. The place has been a dive for as long as I can remember, but I have some very fond memories.

Then maybe it will be a timely reminder to do something about it if they can.

Or am I missing the point entirely there (clientele etc)

Martha Gunn, purely for the fact that they have to bolt their furniture down.
