Ye Old Stout House in Horsham

Nice little traditional friendly pub centred in the Carfax, Horsham. Enjoyed the beer and everything was clean and tidy. Worth a visit if your in the town

Quaint old fashioned pub with wood floors and beams. Assortment of tables and armchairs. Very popular with locals. Badger ales but the only stout was Guinness.

If the management don’t get a grip on things very soon i am afraid this once fine establishment will fold. The swearing from both staff and customers was off the scale and not just the odd slip but constant for the hour we were there. Extremely drunk locals absolutely off their faces which was very intimidating for the odd visiting customer. We witnessed at least 2 couples hurrying their drinks and scarper very quickly. Also, 6 of the beers had run out.. not a great look! Either poor management or cash flow issues but the few regulars they have will soon shop elsewhere if this continues. Great shame as this used to be “the pub” in Horsham for many a year.

I walked in for a quick ale after dinner while visiting Horsham. The staff was lovely, as it was new years day it was quiet but I loved chatting with the patrons. Great atmosphere and lovely beers.

Nipped in here for a couple of drinks before going to watch horsham v brighton. The gentleman behind the bar was really friendly and welcoming a really credit to the pub. Very clean, lots of games to play and good choice of bears and wines

Called in for a few beers, greeted warmly by the guy behind the bar, very polite. The beer was good, the atmosphere was lively and entertaining. Would certainly recommend

You know what, I live in Horsham and have walked past the Stout House lots of times.buuuuttt what a great pub. it's ould school but with a breath of new life in it. A great laugh with the charm of an old school pub.but now more appealing to the younger years 21+ lol its a great day or night out

I don’t know why all the bad reviews.The guy behind the bar with all the tattoos made us feel really welcome and was very efficient. He knew all the drinks behind the bar and was polite. It’s an old traditional pub. If you want fancy arty farty decor go elsewhere.

I've been drinking here since September 2018 and it's the best pub in Horsham. It's under new ownership and is about updated. I hope that it doesn't lose it's identity.

Saturday shopping done, time to find out what has happened at the Stout House ,now Barry and his wife have left.Walk in to find, one noisy child of 5/6 running amok , toys pilled on the bar ,the bar billiards table missing.Ordered our drinks,sat down for what we thought should be a quiet time,our noisy friend had other ideas ,asked the child 3/4 times to stop screaming,to no avail,drank up and will no go back again. COME BACK Barry all is forgiven!!!

Went in there this afternoon after hearing new landlord, give it a miss. Bloke behind the bar was busy playing in his laptop then tried to over charge us by two pounds.also a pint is about 20 to 30p dearer than The Red Deer

I like this little boozer... A lot of people say the landlord Barry is grumpy, I haven't seen that... I love to have a pint of Guiness here on a Saturday, and the landlord plays "Planet Rock" on the radio, which I like. It may be pricey for some, but I like the quiet atmosphere!

An Artisan roll..err you mean a Sainsbury's roll with ham and a bit of tomato.. Rude landlord asked 8 of us to move for regular couple who wanted to eat. Even though they don't do food. Our custom was not good enough for them apparently. Go to the Crown instead.

Don’t expect a glowing service or warm welcome in this place! The landlord is a rude obnoxious little fellow with absolutely no customer service skills whatsoever.After skimming previous reviews the repetitive phrase that certainly stands out is “How is this place still open!?” rings true . It’s common knowledge that treating your customers well and with a smile will improve their experience dramatically! Given this pub is your standard public house broker (if you like) they sell widely available lagers, bitter and ales so you don’t come here for exclusive or locally produced beers. So without the customer service your not getting any privileges with this place.The pubs suggests a traditional (“proper”) pub atmosphere with no signs of refurbishment since maybe the dinosaurs were roaming the earth. With the tobacco stained walls and ceilings, dilapidated plaster and and torn lining paper the place could do with a bit of TLC.Overall a cold experience, small and uninspiring collection of drinks, bad customer service and the layout of the pub is pretty dire too! The landlord clearly only has time for his local (what you could probably consider resident guests - the same crowd is in there every weekend) customers so anyone with an unfamiliar face just expect to be punched upon arrival then you’ll have what you could consider a good experience.If I were to highlight anything or disclose any positive remarks it would be that you can always get a table, 9 times out of 10 the place is generally half empty, due to the lack of atmosphere it doesn’t attract undesirable and excitable crowds so if you do want to wind down for a drink at the end of the night it’s an ideal venue.

Doesn’t take cards, not a problem if we had been warned. Barmaid patronising and some what gobby. Oh and the wine is rubbish. Don’t waste your time or money. Surprised it’s still open to be honest.

Popped in at Christmas with some mates it's nice to got to a no nonsense pub although the dart board is in awkward place

Stopped by for a drink today, it was ok but a little unfriendly. Don’t take cards for payment - the barman pointed to the bank over the road and told me to go there to enable me to pay. Wine was warm and needed ice to cool it. Just a normal pub with an average atmosphere. Lots of choice in Horsham so would probably avoid going back.

This is a good, traditional pub. It's kept clean, and the standards are very high - a really good pint, for example. Lovely ambience because the people who run it know what they're doing and make you welcome. Pubs like these are being lost every day, it seems! We must value this one.

We stopped here for a drink whilst out shopping. A lovely little old place it's like stepping back in time, one draw back they don't take cards it's cash only.

Historic, quaint old pub in the middle of the Horsham. Good selection of beers, friendly staff. No pub food, but no loud jukebox, so really a pub for drinking and chatting and playing the odd match or two of bar billiards!

Bien es básico pero yo como 'básico'. Amable, sin ser demasiado amable". Sirve una buena pinta. No hay comida en la noche. Ideal para reunirse antes de ir a comer, ya que el centro local de bang de Horsham. Esto es lo que solía ser como pubs.

Grumpy landlord - Dirty dark pub! Avoid at all costs!!! Old fashioned certainly not female friendly , so many better choices in Horsham

Good beer, good basic food, no frills, reasonable prices - one of the few traditional pubs still around

Los precios de las bebidas "Ye Old House", Evitaba Horsham el aliento, así que ten cuidado.

What's the best thing about visiting Horsham, you guessed right, why not pop into the Stout House for probably the best pint of Guinness for miles and a proper cheese roll made with a real mature cheese and then why not spoil yourself with a packet of Ox crisps, wash that down with a second pint of superbly poured Guinness and you won't go far wrong, great pub you can even get to read the paper and watch life fly by, my kind of pub 10 out of 10

La casa protagonizaron una cereza y Woodhouse Hall Noche Ale y queso, una extraña combinación de sonidos, pero es increíble cómo determinados quesos complementan determinadas cervezas.

We were told to give this place a go as it looked very interesting from the outside ,we weren't dissapointed on entering it has got wooden floors and a proper pub feel no of this disco bar malarkey .They had a few hand pulled beers of excellent quality and not over priced considering we were in the south,they also had bar billiards which I haven't seen before.We will defiantly be going back when we next visit.

Visited this pub last Saturday with my family and had a half pint of ale which was fine. Decided to go for a different ale afterwards but as soon as I picked it up to drink it I noticed a horrible smell coming off of it. I decided to take a sip anyway but it really didn't taste right ( I drink a lot of different ales). I asked my partner if he would go and ask the bar lady to change it to another ale for me as that one clearly wasn't right. She refused to do anything about it and said it probably just tasted different as it was a different ale to the first one I had and that it was a new barrel.I have worked in pubs before and I know myself that it is fairly common for the first few pints not to come out great. This beer smelt of rotten eggs - so maybe it could have been the glass not great after being in dishwasher.Whatever it was, the drink was not sold to me at drinking standards and it should have been changed.Instead I was left with a half pint of disappointment.We decided not to bother with another round and most definitely will not be back again.

This traditional, old-established pub in the heart of Horsham does what a good pub should do: serve great beer.You won't find any gimmicks here, it's a place where you can have a quiet drink whether by yourself or with others.The landlord is a cricket aficionado and is a pleasant fellow although some consider him a little reticent and grumpy.You can't get anything more English than a place like this.Perhaps not ideal for the young and lively.:

One of the few traditional pubs we found in Horsham. Unfortunately they don't do a range of beers which meant we didn't stay as long as we would have done had there been a better choice

I had a half hour to kill whilst my wife and her sister were shopping in Horsham Carfax.I popped into the Stout House and was a bit apprehensive as I am a Lager drinker, I dreaded the thought of seeing an array of real ales on sale.However, my eyes lit up when a saw the Peroni masthead on the bar. The "Guvnor" looked like your typical country pub landlord and welcomed me.I ordered a pint of Peroni and went into my back pocket to pull out a fiver. Shock, Horror, £5.30 please sir !!! I had about 9 pence in loose change in my pocket so pulled out a tenner. Obviously ended up with £4.70 change, needless to say, I just had the one pint and walked out with shrapnel from a £10 note.No doubt, the pub is probably a very nice drinking hole, but only if you are a millionaire. Certainly not for a recently retired Taxi Driver from Kent !I have never paid more than a fiver for a pint, not even in London, so I fail to comprehend how you can justify £5.30 for ANY Premium lager, especially in a dreary dull bar in town.

This is a geat little pub in the traditional style; such a shame there are so few left. However, the beer selection wouldn't suit CAMRA members

Great little pub in the Carnac,keeps lovely ales and always has a welcome for their customers,proper old fashioned pub

We take Saxon, our golden retriever in here a couple of times a month and Barry always welcomes him with a couple of treats! A lovely pub to spend time in, feels very homely and a real gem in the centre of Horsham

This pub is a real blast from the past. It is a quiet old style pub with good banter between the staff and the clients.They have an excellent selection of beers.The fact that the pub didn't have a TV blaring at us was a bonus.The pub had an old fashioned type of pool/skittle game which was fascinating to watch and was in no way a distraction.We will be back.

No food is served here. No loud music. No loud TV, just a good pint and friendly staff. Can get packed out, and is sometimes difficult to find a seat.

if you like to listen to a yarn or two in a proper pub then this centrally located basic pub is for you.

Sadly what was a great pub is now in dire need of a decent manager/landlord. Atmosphere is quiet and oppressive with a very miserable disenchanted fellow behind the bar. He prefers to drink at other pubs in Horsham which speaks volumes.

Of course Ye Old Stout House is not a restaurant - it's a pub! And a bloody good one at that. No food served, except for simple filled rolls at lunchtimes, but that's not the point of YOSH. It's the place to go to have a pint and a chat with friends, or nip in whilst shopping. Quiet music most of the time, good beer, bar billiards table, books round the back. A great pub and I'm so pleased that it's survived the smoking ban intact. Give it a visit!

good atmosphere, good banter, good drinks selection, no diners. no loud music, a good decent public house.

We were told that this is the place in Horsham to have a pint and that is correct. We told the barman that we wanted a good cask beer and he went to the cellar to pour two pints directly from the cask. And that was a great cask beer. That special touch was well worth the visit and the friendly real pub with lost of character. Don't miss this place for a drink.

It does what it says on the tin, it's a pub with good beer and a bonus no live band no Karaoke so it survives by giving a good service, you can actually meet friends drink a beer and be able to talk.

Good selection of ales (albeit they were a tad expensive IMO) but a pub with character as well as a bar billiards table. TV is available for selective viewing and there is a reasonable outside smoking area

Angleterre profonde. A real English pub in a real English town. G. K. Chesterton and Dickens for company are the only things that could improve it

We go here for the beer (my husband likes well kept bitter) and the authentic old décor. You have to accept the the wine choice is just red or white. But I guess that part of the charm is that it is pub doing what it does best rather than trying to be something it is not.

If you are looking for a decent pint of beer, with no fuss, but in a pub full of character in the middle of Horsham, well this is it! No tvs, loud music, bar food (other than cheese rolls!), just a good pint, and possibly a white wine for the lady!Brilliant landlord who will acknowledge you if you are a regular but doesn't suffer fools!I love it here, just because there aren't many pubs like this anymore.
