"This pub is a pivotal part of Mile Oak almost like Emmerdale's Woolpack. It is always being refurbished to keep up with the times but never manages to lose it's good old english pub status. This pub has 3 bars; one sports bar with 2 pool tables and a large plasma screen television which is always showing the best live events, the 2nd, in the middle, is more for the locals and is the real gem of this pub if piece and quiet is needed, the 3rd is a function room that they hire out free of charge if a certain amount of people come. With a beer garden that enables the adults to relax whilst the children mess around on the swings and tree house, it really does offer something for everyone. The staff are always friendly and efficient. On a Saturday afternoon the local football team come in for pub grub and fun is always had by all until late in the evening. However, the only down side is possible the lack of food options which if improved would get this pub 5 stars! If your in the Mile Oak and Portslade area this is the best pub you will find, if you are not looking to have a meal."
