The Jolly Fisherman was a pub for 125 years until 1959, but when I first saw the building it was a pie mash shop and B B, but for the past circa 7 years it's been a micropub again. I visit every couple of weeks and meet up with 4-5 friends, although a few of them go much more regularly. It sells 2 or 3 cask ales, half a dozen or so craft keg beers, and a half dozen or so ciders/perry. Plus an interesting selection of spirits (wine of course), many bottled beers, and an interesting selection of bar snacks. Friendly warm atmosphere, and a tiny back door, mind your head! Great music played too, and not too loud, but tasteful. You usually find beers from the continents too, I have no idea how they manage to get some of them!
It really is as warm and cosy inside as the pictures suggest. Friendly bar man who adds to the laid back atmosphere generated in what has been surprisingly a pub for only eight years. Whilst just two cask beers were on tap, the one I tried from Orkney was in excellent condition. Plenty of choice for craft beer drinkers also one perry and six proper ciders. They even have local Sussex Wine by the glass. Check their opening hours if you are coming any distance first. Excellent.
The guy serving was unfriendly, unhelpful and pretty rude. Went in asking for a bit of advice on their car range of beers they sell. Server clearly couldn’t care less and and couldn’t have been more huffy and snotty. We won’t be coming back. Training very much needed.
