Review:
A trendy and apparently new-ish Greene King pub situated in (and around) an ancient Nat West Bank building, the Old Punchbowl Inn - or Punchbowl as it likes to list itself in the yellow pages - is a hangout for groups of office workers during the day and assorted young adults in the evening. The entrance of the pub is the small group of offices that used to hold the bank, but behind is a larger area attached to the old building by bits of corrugated plastic.

Review:
The National Trust is one of the few remaining British institutions that values and invests in quality. Its publicity , its cleverly designed range of paints, its garden and house signage, its plant tags, and even its staff, all are of the highest quality. The National Trust is an essay in superb brand strategy, attention to detail, high quality , and customer targeting. Until you get to its restaurants.

Review:

When I lived in London I really couldn't get excited about fox hunting or hare hounding or deer dogging, it just all felt too alien – and anyway what about the hunting of humans that goes on all over the world every day? However, when you spend time in the backwaters of Kent and East & West Sussex you really do feel obliged to take sides; and if any place is going to make you take sides it is the Well Diggers Arms in deepest darkest Western Sussex.

Review:
A fantastic little wooden bridge chaining two parts of a dreamy secluded pub garden, suspended above a babbling brook, is the main feature of this friendly pub near Horsham. An exhaustive menu covers all the main suspects, often with a spicy twist. My cajun chicken salad was deliciously spicy although a little greasy, and Q's chilli had huge chunks of beef on a plate big enough to feed five. Kids meals are cut down versions of the adult ones and as a result of consistently good quality.

Review:
Probably the best pub food and nicest environment in West Sussex. Fantastic old pub in a pretty hamlet near to Petworth, with log fires, wooden floors and tastefully furnished. Always has good real ale and excellent home made food - huge portions and most meals between £7-10. Would be my first choice to take friends for Sunday lunch. Geordie 2006
