Rottingdean's best pub! By far. Good dressed crab, caught daily (you have to ask for this). The rest of the menu is good too. Jazz on several nights

This is worth the drive from Rottingdean (allow 45 minutes) on a a balmy summer's evening. The pub is on the edge of the river Arun and is a delight. Spend the afternoon exploring Arundel, which is rather special, and finish the day in this jewel of a pub on the river's edge
