Pub Reviews
| Great beer but please do something
to the inside, what a dismal place, no character at all. It needs
sprucing up and something to remeber the place by, rather than
newspapers, crappy old furniture and the landlord leaning on the bar
doing his soduku not noticing the glass is empty.

| Great pub! Love he music -
especially The Ant Hill Mob! Shame they charge £2 admission and the
stopping to pay the person on the door makes me feel uneasy going in.
However, once inside it is worth being brave and the customers are a
trouble free lot.
|
| The beer is excellent, but what a
strange pub. The decor is completely out of character with the building.
Not sure how to describe it. Some good 60s music being played, but the
place still lacked atmosphere. Service was a bit on the slow side. Dark
Star always score 10/10 for their beers. It's a shame their pubs aren't
as good.

What an absolute gem! I have lived
in Shoreham for many years but never visited this pub in its former
life, but now that it has re-opened under the Dark Star banner, I have a
reason to visit... every week!
Superb beer and friendly staff, what more can a man (or woman) need? How
about live music every Friday evening? Also, patrons were recently
treated to a mini beer festival where there were not only real ales, but
wheat beer, cider and perry.
This is not one of those pubs that like so many attempts to woo
customers with fancy decor, fruit machines and sky TV while offering up
bland interbrew style refreshment. No, this is a pub that offers a warm
and friendly welcome and aims to treat your tastebuds!
Highly recommended.

| I missed out on APA but had a very
nice "hophead" pity it's so bare with no atmosphere as it is a Dark Star
brewery pub.
|
| A bit plain but worth the visit for
the great Dark Star beers. Also had three guest beers on.Very friendly
staff. Yes,well worth a visit

Nice to see this pub now doing
really well. It was the Dark Star Brewery that initially got me there;
the pub had a bit of a bad image in the past before Dark Star took over.
Roy the 'Inn Keeper' as he likes to be called is a nice chap and I can
see this pub taking over as the best in Shoreham (and we sure do have a
choice!) before very long.
Being a smoker it is nice to hear that there are plans to cater for us
lepers by upgrading the outside rear area with a covered area and
heaters.
Keep it up Roy, good beer nice atmosphere and I'll continue to pay very
regular visits.

This was formerly a music-orientated
pub, well known for its
policy of hardly ever opening! It has recently been taken over
by the Dark Star group (http://www.darkstarbrewing.co.uk/).
Note that although the pub is open, improvements are currently
in progress.
The pub is currently serving three cask ales from the Dark Star
range, one guest ale and one real cider, as well as the wide
selection of unusual continental beers that their sister pub, the
Evening Star in Brighton (http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/19/1983/Evening_Star/Brighton),
is known for.
I am told that they intend to continue with the live music policy, and
to open a lot more often!
As I am fan of live music, Dark star beer and I live nearby this is sure
to become my local!
