A first review from latest member of the team Chris Stonor. One of the more impressive diverse pubs in the Sussex region, the ‘Abergavenny Arms’ is well worth a visit offering  a variety of weekly events, excellent quality food and a busy family-friendly atmosphere. Located four miles south of Lewes in the hamlet of Rodmell, owners Jon and Lucie manage an enterprising and energetic

We’ve heard a lot about The Chilli Pickle in Brighton and its only been feedback on how great it is. This isn’t always the best way to go into a restaurant as high expectations can often be hard to meet.

Our newest reviewer has been keeping busy recently. Here’s @Jen_Terra and her latest mouth watering review. The Lamb at Angmering – unpretentious food for foodies Three hungry girls trotted jubilantly into The Lamb at Angmering on Saturday 4th August. Purses full of Goodwood winnings and with very very sore feet indeed. Ready for a hearty meal and a glass of wine. When we enquired as to

It has been almost a year since I reviewed The General at Ditchling and we’ve been toying with the idea of a re-review for a while now.
