Sussex Drinker: Autumn 2020 51 Branch Awards the Jolly Fisherman, Hastings, and to the runner up the George Hotel, Hailsham. The Western Sussex Branch Pub of the Year is the Inglenook, Pagham. The Inglenook is a well-established hotel and restaurant in Pagham in a village unusually also served by three other pubs. This is not the first time that it has been voted pub of the year which is unusual for this type of establishment. However, when you delve under the surface you will discover two truly wonderful cottage style bars both incorporating large welcoming fires, a beautiful large garden with several shady outbuildings and a newly installed pizza oven. There is also a delicious menu and an ever changing very keenly priced beer list incorporating ales from best small brewers from far and wide around the British Isles and occasionally from further afield. Added to the exceptionally warm welcome provided by long time owners Tony Honour and his wife Sarah along with mother Edna, together with their septuagenarian parrot and helpful staff and you will understand why the Inglenook is a consistent favourite among CAMRA members.
