This is one of Martin Webb's (ex Webb Kirby - responsible for tarting up many pubs and clubs in Brighton) new ventures. Along with the Connaught, it was a well-dodgy half-timbered barn of a place frequented by the wider members of the community. Now its been titivated into a gastro-pub style with mismatched furniture, log fires, wooden stripped floors and so on - you get the picture. The menu is also the normal modern British fare. Starters were about £6 ans mains a steep £12-15. On a Wednesday lunchtime it was sprinkled with yummy mummies and badly dressed businessmen. I had a tasty if thick gnochhi and mussel dish and my wife had a good rosti. Beer was Harveys and a toothsome Brakspear Oxford Gold. Service was ok but the tables and menus were a bit grubby. Rumoured to get packed at the weekends.
