The Bull on the Green

Stayed overnight at the Bull on the Green as we were visiting the Brighton area. Spacious, clean room, quiet, comfy bed, hot shower, good WiFi, fair price…what more do you want? Pub is lovely as well. We’d definitely stay again if we were in the area.

Newick stay Very enjoyable stay, all the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Good location for exploring Ashdown Forest and surrounding area.

Just what we needed Very friendly greeting and shown to our room. Very convenient for our needs and well priced for the area. We will definitely stay again

We very much enjoyed our Christmas lunch today. We pre-ordered from a good menu selection and thought the food was excellent. The beef was tender, with crispy roast potatoes and a huge Yorkshire pudding. I had a very nice starter of smoked salmon on little toasts with pickled cucumber and a crème Fraiche dressing followed by tender roast turkey with all the trimmings. Yum! They had a lovely Christmas tree and several log fires to make it cozy and fairy lights on the beamed ceiling. Service was very good and we were very well looked after, thank you. I would have given it five stars but there were a few areas of the building which needed some improvement including the outside front area, which was a bit scruffy with a rather tired doormat in the entryway so it didn’t make a good first impression. Unfortunately the chilly ladies cloakroom whilst perfectly clean really needed renovating. Perhaps the new owners will get onto this in time.

The Bull does an amazing roast we came back here as the last couple of times have been great and the roast didn’t disappoint, unfortunately the service this time was not good the person who served us was polite but at no point came to check to see if our food was ok or if we wanted dessert, coffee or more drinks. it was quiet but there were 4 tables around us that had left but their dirty plates were not cleared the whole time (there was only 1 more table dining ) we sat with finished plates until we left , Saying that I like the pub so will go back and hope it was a one off so so try it as food great .

I write only to warn of some disreputable practice by the management of the Bull…. I recently booked a weekend evening for my wife and I to visit friends. I booked the Bull because of decent reviews and, most enticingly, the “full breakfast and free bottle of wine or Champagne” included in the price. Upon booking, I messaged the pub to ask about how I choose the wine or Champagne, to be bluntly told that I can purchase these at additional cost, the Champagne being £79/bottle! You then doubt yourself, so I checked my confirmation email, which again confirmed the free bottle of wine or Champagne. I sent a screenshot, and was then snippily informed I would have no Champagne unless I paid £79! There was no acknowledgement that this had been in the booking offer, nor apology about any error. Needless to say, I cancelled my plans with them. I am saddened that in 2024 a pub would resort to tricks to entice business. Unless you are a fan of Fawlty Towers and have money to burn, I would stay clear of this place!
