Located four miles south of Lewes in the hamlet of Rodmell, owners Jon and Lucie manage an enterprising and energetic

The 5 Bells at Chailey is a very special pub. The food is nice. I’m not going to lie and say it was the best pub food I’ve ever eaten because it wasn’t. The food is good and I’ll come on to this shortly, however the reason this place is special is the loyal following within the motoring community the owner Robin and his

East Dean is a part of West Sussex I’d not had the pleasure of visiting before. But when I had the opportunity to explore this little village and stop for lunch at The Star & Garter pub in the centre of it I jumped at the chance.

I’ve literally been coming to this pub for nigh on 20 years now. My Dad used to take me as a kid, I drank here in my teens, and now on occasions I make the effort to come back here for lunch.

The more we do this blog, the more we come to realise that places and people change. A 5 rib ‘Full Rack’ experience can be short lived if the place takes a turn for the worse, and equally a poor experience could simply be a one off. In this case an average experience 7 months later is now an exceptional one. Credit where credit’s

The décor these days is far from traditional; however they have added some really nice touches

The ‘Duke’ has been around for as long as I can remember

On an unusually warm and sunny February lunchtime I decided to pop over to Partridge Green to grab a sandwich in the local pub – The Partridge. The main reason I’d wanted to try this place for some time because the pub had within the last year been taken over by the Dark Star Brewing Company, a brand of Sussex beer I am very

Another review from friend of TSR, ½ marathon champion and chief blogger at www.remadeit.co.uk – Chris (@Connonorama) This morning I’ve been watching a pair of hairy legs pound the pavement for 13 miles. It’s my first half marathon and I’m struggling. The weird thing is all I can think about is a good roast dinner at the end of it all. At mile eight

So here I go again breaking my own rules. Hotel Du Vin is a small boutique hotel and restaurant chain which features 14 beautifully converted premises across the UK. This chain is not exclusive to Sussex which is usually a big ‘no no’ for The Sussex Review. The fact remains however this is one of my favourite places to hang out and eat in
