I wonder if my tankard is still hanging in the public bar?....Does it still have a public bar?  I worked 3 nights a week there  (my brother David worked the other 4)  from '87 to '91.  Beer was ten pence a pint cheaper in the public side than over in the posher saloon side, even though it all came out of the same barrel in the cellar!  Certain locals from the Public side when having a family 'do' in the Saloon side would always point to the pumps in the Public bar when ordering a pint in the Saloon. Love 'em!

Shame on me I used to drink here well before my time, in the aforementioned Public Bar (smaller, no carpet). There was also a hall out the back. We're talking late 70s, at the height of the Ska revival. I wonder whatever happened to Fudge, Pea, etc.

Ah! I remember standing around outside the pub with a packet of Smiths crisps (the ones with a blue bag of salt) and a glass of R Whites lemonade while my Mum & Dad had a drink inside. (For the younger reader these were proper crisps & lemonade not the recent offerings that pretend to be the real deal!).
In 1966 when I was only 12, we moved away to the North  before I was old enough to drink there legally.

I was born here - my parents were the landlords :) It looks pretty in these photos. We went back to Newhaven for a holiday a few years ago but we didn't go in the bar, my Mum was too upset, she said it didn't look very well kept anymore, and they had sold off the garden. Oh well times change I suppose.
