The Imperial makes the pub in Shameless look classy.
Quite right. I popped into the Swiss Cottage once and have never been back, and the Waterside is a rare visit , in sunny weather either on the way somewhere or way back. I genuinely.cannot recall the last time I drank there.
Oh - I love threads like this 
Its great when establishments that think they can get away with crap service and appalling facilities get named and shamed.

It's always amazed me that with all that river bank there aren't better pubs with a view, The Bridge is good as a food and family pub, the waterside and C&A could be so much better.
The Waterside has zero competition on beach side. That could be the making of it but instead they have taken the lazy option and it’s become its downfall.
The Bridge in summer time is as good as a river view as you’re gonna get. The C&A is okay but it’s full of wankers.

Up the Albion!
I was once a Shoreham Beach resident.
It could be such a great pub with its location, but although I lived there for 9 years, I was only tempted in on a couple of occasions. Just always had the look of a pub you want to walk past.
Live in Lancing now, where to start with worst pubs?
Indeed. I was starting to worry that no one was going to say.

Used to be called The Crown & Anchor by day, but by night The Crown & *anker! My Mrs used to work in the restaurant under the old management. Really lovely people. Did great food, the best Sussex Smokie ever.
Sheperds Neame bought it & it's muck on a truck delivered chilled for re-heating now.
That tallies. Food used to be beautiful in there.
Good point well made. Usually on these threads the 'worst' pubs are the ones I like, i.e. the ones that haven't been ponced up and still have a few local characters - albeit ones who'll wrap a pool cue round your head if you say something out of place.
What a dump. I had to go there for a Mothers Day lunch a few years back.
Unhygienic, hopeless staff, scummers running around, shite food, rundown.
The ones that i find the WORST , are the ones that used to be nice n grungy real ale boozers , and have now been ponced up with candles and flowers on every table , any of the ex-pubs in southover/Hanover /Elm grove /queens park , (Brighton ) and anywhere else this has happened ..

The Bedford . I think I went in there in November. If so yes, toilet.
It’s a damned shame but a lot of those good old pubs would simply close unless they appealed to families. It’s not good but I see why they do it. So few real pubs left. There’s a few in Shoreham. Lewes offers some good ones too. Quite a few in small villages around West Sussex. I come across a few on my walks.
