Green Man, Ringmer. Cracking food at good prices and guest ales on tap so you don't actually have to drink Greene king! Oh and try the Beef and Stilton Pie, good stuff! Oh and no I don't work there and never have, wrong side of the bar for me!

Screaming J - what is the new Inn like these days? I last went there in 1979 (I think). Hazy recollection of fish n chips being collected from Uckfield and a juke box that only took pre-decimal coins. Plus the leg of a bed poking through the ceiling.

Been to the 5 bells at Chailey and the Bull at Newick recently as well Chalk pit in Offham....all pretty good.
Went to the Half moon at plumpton and it was very expensive with not a very good menu...lots of roasted guinnea fowl, pheasant etc

Not cheap, but the Hatch at Coleman's Hatch does wonderful food. They do a smoked haddock and spinach risotto that's to die for, and a fantastic rack of ribs (huge portion - even my greedy OH struggled to finish them). Lovely pub too.

Anchor Barcombe is good!

I must try the Anchor; given all the flak recently posted. A good country pub is the Cock (Ringmer), or the Yew Tree at Arlington (great for food).
For a traditional pub lunch in Lewes you can't beat the Brewers Arms in the bottleneck.

Screaming J - thank you so much for finding those pics. They bring back memories, I must make another visit. There was another quirky little pub I used to visit, I think near Herstmonceux (The Welcome Stranger?) any knowledge of that one?

Sorry Alf, don't know it! East of Hailsham is 'here be dragons' as far as my pub visiting is concerned!
Do you remember the Potters Arms at The Dicker?

@peter pan - keep that quiet or it'll be full of townies!
Been my favourite for 40 years now, worked with several bands there.
Remember the 1974 New Years Eve lock-in?!
Ken was amazing and Paul and his wife, John and the rest of the bar staff are stupendous.
Just wish I could afford to live there!
I was at the Shepherd and summat in Fulking yesterday and had a wicked pint of Downlands Ale - look out Harvey's!
