Will Larter left this review about Pump House

A historic building, like many of Nicholson's pubs, but this one really has been a pub since the 18th century. (See the Camra heritage link for details.) I didn't warm to this one quite as much as some seen earlier the same day - perhaps I was just heritaged out, or maybe it was all the young people coming in and swerving the very good Harvey's Sussex Best (don't they know it's cool?) and going for Neck Oil, one of the very worst of the modern keg beers. (Sigh!)

Graham Coombs left this review about Pump House

A nice Nicholson's pub with a great deal of wood panelling, in several separate areas round the bar, giving a good traditional feel. The front room has a Sports TV. At time of visit there was a pump takeover by Siren, with four of their ales alongside the usual Nicholson's house beer and a cider.

Blackthorn _ left this review about The Pump House

A popular Nicholson’s pub with large windows overlooking a small square in the heart of The Laines, it consists of several different areas although they are all adjoining rather than being entirely separate rooms. There is also a patio area at the rear.

Decor seems similar throughout with wood flooring and the walls being entirely clad in dark wood panelling, making it reminiscent of a hotel drawing room. A number of old pictures are dotted around, and in keeping with the pub’s name, an old brass pump was on a window sill in the front bar. A plasma was up on the wall although the volume was off and there was also a gas fire which was a pleasant touch on an unseasonably cold March evening.

Good choice of beer on tap with Harvey’s Best, Doom Bar, Long Man Brewery’s Old Man, Peerless American IPA, Rudgate’s Chocolate Stout and Andwell’s Spring Magic. Ciders were slightly less successful with just Aspall’s Suffolk and Strongbow.
