Not a pub, but this small and friendly shop in Horsham, West Sussex is one of the best off-licences we've come across. An excellent range of bottled beers (most of which originate from breweries in the southern counties) and ciders is on offer, so if you're stuck for a Christmas or birthday present, try here. What we were particularly impressed with however was the six casks of ale that were tapped and ready for sale; most were from the nearby Arundel Brewery the day we called in but Gareth, the proprietor, tells us his stock is constantly changing. We bought half a gallon of the excellent Arundel Gold, although larger quantities are offered. We were impressed with the condition of the ale (I had previously tried bottled Arundel Gold but this was my first taste in cask guise), the friendly and very knowledgable service, and the opportunity of trying the beer before we bought it.
We have included a link to Gareth Jones' excellent website - please have a good look around and make sure you pop in to the shop next time you're passing.
