The Bull - (Near East Sussex, london)

Simon Fisher A second visit this week as we were so impressed by the Sunday carvery. Friday is pie day, (2 for £20 at the time of writing!) I had the most amazing beef and Guinness pie served with mustard mash and a red wine gravy. You get a choice mash, my wife had horseradish, both were delicious! All food is prepared in house! Good wholesome nosh! (Check out the carvery - see other reviews!) Recommend both!! Recommend booking as it was very busy!

Kevin Hider Food here is absolutely amazing. Waited a while as it is all freshly cooked so its worth it. Fantastic value for money and great service. Passed this place many times,now so glad to have visited. Will definitely return. BRILLIANT

Carl Jeffrey The rural riverside setting is perfect for anyone who loves countryside walks or fancies hiring a rowing boat to explore the river. I was hiking solo on a multi-day trek from Brighton to Rochester when I came across the Anchor Inn. It was a warm early evening, and as I ordered a refreshing pint in the front bar, the landlord Simon (who had never met me before) immediately noticed my rucksack and said: “If you’re looking for somewhere to pitch your tent tonight, you’re very welcome to use the field behind the pub.” It was such a generous offer that I gladly accepted. I spent the evening enjoying a few pints in the company of Simon and his staff, who made me feel completely at home. I didn’t eat during my stay, though the food looked excellent, but I can vouch for a superb pint of Harvey’s Best Bitter. The following morning, as I was packing up at 8am, Simon even walked over with a cup of tea – an incredibly thoughtful gesture that summed up the hospitality I experienced here. I truly can’t thank Simon and his team enough. The Anchor Inn is a brilliant riverside pub, and I’ll definitely be returning with friends. Highly recommended!

Oliver Barnes The best Kombucha youll taste. Really creative and well flavoured products, I signed up to the monthly subscription after tasting. Lovely ethos behind the company too. Brilliant all round.

George Anderson Excellent pub, great British food done well. Great pint of Harvey’s and wonderful atmosphere. Exactly what was needed after a day walking in the South Downs. Was only in the area for a couple days but would make effort to revisit in the future.

Emma We pulled into the large car park, greeted by friendly staff. The tables are a decent size, which is a rarity nowadays. The children had lasagne, I had fish and chips and my husband has a burger. Portions are large but very tasty! The puddings come in regular or small sizes, in future I would go small, the regular were huge. We would definitely go back here and highly recommend.
