The Walrus Supper Club, Vegan Review. The Walrus pub is a sprawling beast of a venue, extending grandly in height and depth, boasting a night club in its belly and a garden on its head. The main bar and restaurant is decorated in Victorian gloom whilst a closer inspection reveals little quirks of humour here…

The rise of Flour Pot Kitchen (no pun intended) Flour Pot Bakery is one of my go-to cafes for a seriously good cup of coffee and a home-baked sweet treat. Whilst I have yet to sample their famous gourmet doughnuts I’m a sucker for a slice of their super-spongy carrot cake. When I heard they…

Seasonal Sussex cocktails at Gungho GungHo bar isn’t your average bar. Specialising in seasonal cocktails, many of their ingredients are harvested from the owner’s allotment or foraged from the Sussex countryside.

The weekend buzz at GB1 I discovered GB1 – The Grand hotel’s seafront restaurant – last year when I visited on a Thursday night. Impressed by the seafood-focused menu and relaxed ambience, I was delighted to be invited back for a Friday night, when the restaurant and adjacent bar have a real weekend buzz. The…

Aren’t Country Clubs just for members? Wickwood’s Country Club and Glass House Restaurant (rosette awarded) is tucked away down a tree-lined road between Hove and Henfield. It’s an unassuming building from the outside and easy to drive past without really noticing. I’ve never ventured inside a Country Club before, so was unsure of what to expect. To…
