South Downs Coffee At 172 in Waverley

On Friday evening 11 April we had planned to attend the Beerex across the road which opened at 6pm. Traditionally we seem to meet up here between 4:30 - 5pm before hand and relax with a few drinks before heading off. The outside area has numerous tables and chairs and is great to relax in the late sun and enjoy. The pub itself is very old and traditional and has loads of character. The bar staff are amazing and very efficient. When the Beerex finished at 11pm we ended back over here again to have one more for the road and again the service etc was excellent.

Owners very unprofessional aggressive and in denial. We were served raw chicken wings which was adamantly denied by them even though we were not the only ones served raw meat . The chef who apparently was a ' 'head chef' somewhere shounot be allowed near a kitchen.

Temporary manager Bea, particularly attentive Great service!

Excellent staff. Work very hard to make our visit worthwhile. The food was very good. Not the least expensive. The patio area was slightly shabby. But on a nice sunny day, who cares. The tavern sat between 2 main roads, so traffic constantly going past. Good parking area. All in all, very pleased we stopped by for a beer and lunch.

I haven't been for years so sorry can't say for sure. There were lovely fields & waterways & a secret flower garden at the back, where we used to play, run around and explore as children while our parents & adult family drank and talked 🦜 inside but I'd like to revisit to see if it's still the same or changed :-) They do meals too
