Duke of Wellington in Adur

The best pub in Shoreham. Period. The atmosphere with live music and kind staff is unbeatable. The beer selection is great with good local beer. If you're hungry, just go to the Mano a Mano next door and bring your own food. I'm glad I found this place. Highly recommended.

The welly isn’t just a pub. It’s a hidden gem, a home from home, a proper boozer, a grass roots music venue, a place to let off steam, socialise with olds friends and talk crap with like-minded locals. From the moment you walk in, you feel an instant buzz of life, conversation and laughter. It’s a place I’ve been going to since 2010 to unwind and share a good pint (or 6) in good company. The best beer, cider and real ale for miles around. Lovely staff who work hard and seriously know their stuff. Long live the Welly!

By far the best pub in Shoreham! Great beer selection & beautiful garden.

What a cracking Saturday night that was.

Amazing place! Always so welcome staff! Such a cosy pub! Definitely a place to be! Highly recommended this place! Can’t wait to come back.

Proper old pub, live music at least twice a week, good selection of well kept ales, wide age range(not full of drunk kids!!), pleasant staff and best of all they've not yet succumbed to Sharps Doom Bar 👍👍👍

What a great pub ! Full of classic pub games to while away a few hours. Fantastic live music scene and a walled pub garden that is always enticing. Top notch beers too.🍺🍻

Great place to meet friends and hear fab live music.

Lovely old pub with a fantastic garden

Great Shoreham local, always a welcome, and when the sun shines on the garden, it's a real treat. They have music most nights and a great selection of ales, ciders, and lagers.

Tuesday are my favourites greatusic good quality

Great atmosphere great staff music

Wonderful place to go and eat,drink and be merry.

Good ale. Great music. Great service. Wasn't as keen on the actual pub.

Lovely surroundings with lots of antiques bits and bobs. Can't go wrong! :-)

I didn't have food but the pub is great. Very friendly and a brilliant place for live music. Sound is excellent.

Amazing little gem , great venue, great staff Visited yesterday on a pub Crawl from our pub The Maypole Inn Accommodated all 16 of no problem

Really lovely staff, great atmosphere, great music, older crowd x

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE, EXTREMELY RUDE, I was there tonight with my friend (17 and 18), her mother and her mothers friends for an open mic ( that we have done before) my friend and I then went to the toilet, the owner then started banging on our toilet door yelling at us to GET OUT so we left and she continued to be aggressive, we then went back to our drinks, we were then approached by a male owner and we’re shouted at further, to get out and that we were doing illicit things in the cubical, he then stood by the door and aggressively shouted at us to leave, this was a horrific experience, the land Lord and lady are extremely rude and aggressive and I will never be going back.

NEVER GO HERE!!!! Horrible HORRIBLE owners. We have been here 2 times prior to this event singing at the open mic night on Tuesday. I just had a horrible experience getting kicked out for going into a cubicle with my friend at 8pm (on a Tuesday) as two 18 year old girls, with my mum and her friends. They aggressively kicked us out and made a scene and accused us of illicit activities. Firstly the guy was peeking in the toilet to see if we were going in a cubicle together and then the other female owner banged on the cubicle door repeatedly frightening us as we were using the toilet. There was no policy signs at all and this was a shock to all as we were there to perform for an open mic. Plus we were a group of women and had paid and bought drinks about 5 minutes prior to this.

Lovely pub plenty of drink options

As usual this place has a good selection of lovely ales and really friendly nice staff, well worth a visit or booking table for the live entertainment

Here tonight but couldn't get served. Watched as bloke after bloke got served even though I was there first. Even served the bloke behind me and he was passing his tenner by my ear and I'm standing front at the bar. I spoke up and said loudly 'are you a sexist pub'. I then got served. Yeh come on guys this ain't 1950s

Great traditional pub, good range of beers that are well kept by a knowledgeable Landlord

Great pub. Wide range of beer and some good ciders. No food, so be aware you would need to get this elsewhere - you are allowed to eat it in the pub though.

Lovely pub, great ales too, the best pub in Shoreham by some distance.

Great atmosphere, proper old fashioned pub.

Watched the wellington wailers. Brilliant as usual.

Pub with live music at the weekend.

Nice to know that their are still honest and trust worthy people about. My sister in law lost her debit card in the Wellington it was found on the floor. They immediately took steps to find who the card belonged to and to get it returned. In no time at all her son was able to collect the card from the pub and reunite it to his mum. Not only that they serve good ales and its friendly and welcoming with probably the best prices in the area.

A proper pub. No. The proper pub. No. The proper pub with great beer. No. The proper pub with the best beer at the best price with the best staff and locals and music. You are going to wish my local was your local. Perfection.

Always a good atmosphere and a nice beer garden.

Went there to see my friend, and I had a great fun, music was cool, people were chatty, didn't tried food..

Fabulous for live music, a proper pub 👌 with a great beer selection; seriously, good 👍In my view the best pub in shoreham

The perfect pub. Fantastic staff, friendly customers, awesome beer and a bar billiards table too!

The staff are nice and helpful but they don't do food their through.

Selection of cask ales is very good

Proper pub. Great choice of beers. Friendly atmosphere.

If you love live music and great craft beer, then this is the place for you.

Great pub with regular live music and excellent beer and bar staff

My review is more about a man who works in there who I want to give a 5⭐️ to… he helped my partner who was having a diabetic episode in shoreham, he stayed with him and gave him a drink and some chocolate to help his blood sugar levels go back up and didn’t leave him till he knew he was better a big thank you to that man

Sadly this pub has become a kindergarten. Kids running around, shouting and screaming. Having picnics!!! Lost its charm.

It was just a short stop on a Sunday afternoon, but it was very nice. Liked the outdoor space with the log fire. There's a heater also in the other sheltered outdoor area, also protected from wind and rain. Nice brews. Dog friendly (it was like Battersea in there! 😀). Lively and welcoming. 👌

Best pub in Shoreham-by-sea. A fantastic selection of beer at very reasonable prices. At my last visit it had around 8 cask beers (pales, stouts, IPAS, a slightly odd one and a delicious pale that is brewed exclusively for the pub). They also have keg beers. A highlight is the wheat beer. They serve everything in appropriate glassware. The vibe of the place is relaxed and friendly, it's a "proper" pub with a mix of ages and drunk levels! It's USP is the live music which is most nights, the beer garden is also lovely.

One of the best real pubs in the South East, superb and friendly staff, amazing beers, and an extraordinary atmosphere. Garden is fabulous too.

Must visit destination in Shoreham, but doesn't always get the details right. Live music and other events.

Excellent pub full of atmosphere and old school charm. Amazing band called Grooves Inc played a soul based old school covers set in the afternoon. Definitely worth checking out.

Awesome, friendly, inclusive, welcoming pub in Shoreham with a huge and fabulous beer garden. Their live music nights are superb!

Fantastic music pub, great range of drinks, very friendly and efficient staff. Superb atmosphere either inside to enjoy many various bands, or outside in the lovely practical garden, huge amount of seating, some under roofing in little snugs. Definitely a must for anyone who wants to meet different people in a great setting with a bit of humour and individuality.

Some pubs are just that - a pub. The Welly is on a different level - it's family: It's at the heart of our local community!

Best local pub. Friendly team running the bar. Great atmosphere. Lots of events each month. Just generally a fab place.

Simply the best pub in Shoreham! Best ales, best staff. Love it

Real ale pub ,real live music and a real live welcoming atmosphere Attentive and friendly staff. Doesn't serve food

Great beers 🍻 Wellington APA best

The Welly is the best pub I've ever been in, Hannah gives me the most exceptional service I've ever experienced in any pub, always very welcoming.

Great staff and really good prices! Great night, really recommend

Just a great pub. What more can you say? Well if pushed, the chap behind the bar was quite amusing with his little quips he was making. The beer selection is next level too. A vast selection of cask and all the keg is a diverse and interesting selection, some of which rotate. Anything from St Bernadus to Saxon or even Zyweic from Poland. No household names here which is great. The prices are exceptional versus the quality on offer. I wish this place was nearer home :( There’s a billiards table too and a lovely outside area to boot. Got beaten to the bar by a boxer dog, but it’s all in the name of science! The best pub in Shoreham if not West Sussex in my view.

First time back in 8+ years and I was underwhelmed by the service and drinks selection - there's no longer a choice of proper cider and the beer selection is vastly diminished. I guess Dark Star set a rather high bar! It was busy but they had so many bar staff I don't understand how they were so awful about serving people in some kind of organised manner. Still, it's the Duke and it'll always have a place in my heart as I've been drinking there for over 20 years. And I must say the addition of a second ladies toilet was a very nice surprise! About freaking time!

Great beer selection. Great bar staff. Great atmosphere.

Fantastic selection of craft beers, lovely pub with a great garden and covered area.

The wildest pub I have ever experienced at the front and quiet at the back.

Fantastic pub with friendly staff and a great atmosphere. We went for the open mic night (Tuesdays from 8:30) which attracts lots of different acts. We were super impressed by the range of talent and warm welcome offered by staff and locals. We will definitely be going back! Highly recommended!

Best! Music - & fire & can meet new friends - jewel! Dog friendly - community welcoming hostel with best ales - can't recommend highly enough

What a fantastic pub. Great beer selection, atmosphere was warm, friendly and welcoming. It's got a proper anarchic charm. A gem in what is a slightly odd town.

Miles better than the last time we were all there. No more licking butter off the knife and putting it back in the butter.

Great little pub with friendly staff

First time here. Sunday afternoon in the garden with live music and quality ales. I returned on a Friday late afternoon and it had a nice vibe in there. £4 a pint was a pleasant surprise.

Great beer, great atmosphere, great live music. Best pub in Shoreham

Got to be my favourite pub in Sussex. Great beer huge selection, good prices and a really nice atmosphere. Is give it 6 stars if I could.

This is a pub I have wanted to go to for a long time. If you like good ale it is a must. Music is also off the scale.

Shoreham's best boozer by a mile.

Great venue, drinks, staff and made a new friend- thank you

This is a good traditional pub with an excellent selection of beers. The staff are friendly. There was live music. I will be going back

Great 'proper' pub and old established music venue. Even has a bar billiards table.

Really fantastic bar and staff and drink selection really good

Always a great night, definitely my favourite pub, with great beer

Great pub, great staff, lots of live music and a fantastic selection of ales and other tasty beverages

Warm atmosphere, good music and tasty drinks. Enjoyed the evening and plan on a return visit.

Occasional visitor here from worthing. Great night, friendly bar staff, great band. Lovely vibe. Back again soon.

A pub doing the basics fantastically well. Great decor, atmosphere and music. No food, just drinks. Outside areas to explore, some undercover and classic pubs games are available too.

One of my favourite pubs! Lovely people, atmosphere and great music❣️

Great live music, friendly staff, fabulous outdoor space and a really good atmosphere. A fine pub.

Bumped in to Grant Tubolard. So was a great night. 😊

Fantastic place like a sweetshop for Ale. REAL ALE LIVE MUSIC.

Great in a non-corporate and unpretentious way, as it has been for many years. Good beers, frequent live music and extremely friendly atmosphere. The best pub in Shoreham I reckon.

Great pub, great beers and great wailers!

We went to the Welly for New years Eve. The staff are adorable and the clientele are just lovely. The prices of drinks are beyond bonkersly low compared to other bars. They allow dogs. I mean seriously this is a lovely place to visit. Go and enjoy. Also the music is great. Literally everyone is welcome and more than that they feel welcomed. I’m going back soon.

Great English Pub with live music and friendly service. Be sure to check out the men's toilet 😄

A great pub with a very friendly atmosphere. We went to listen to the Wellie Wailers and enjoyed every minute.

Best pub in town. Friendly, helpful staff, great space inside and out, along with some awesome music.

Great atmosphere. Propper traditional pub with free live band on a regular basis. Many good beers and local ales.

Cracking pub, lovely staff, great beers!

From a beer perspective, there's a big range to choose from. Although, I'm sure the beer selection was better say 5 or 6 years ago. They have music here on a Friday night so don't come if you are intending on having a quiet conversation. However, the music seemed popular and the pub was quite lively.

Great range of great ales, friendly staff, great beer garden, great music, great craic

Outstanding pub. Such a great atmosphere. Dogs are allowed in too. Lots of entertainment and of course a lot of beer to choose from!! Staff super friendly as well. Highly recommend 👍

Great pub, great beer, great atmosphere, great live music, great folk - say no more! 😃

Very warm welcome by the bar maid who let me sample the ale first as I had never tried any of the 9 on offer Yes 9 real ales

What a fun creative place! Found it by accident- lovely garden space. Such friendly people. Ended up staying till close watching a fabulous band! Will be back for sure.

Excellent pub with a great selection of drinks, live music and a fantastic beer garden.

Great beer, great music, great people, great vibe, come alive at The Duke!
