Huge pub with something of a club feel, various different areas, disco floor, lounge seating, booths etc arranged around a large island bar. Probably avoidable on a Saturday night but not unpleasant on a quiet weekday lunchtime. There is a pavement patio on the High Street side and a large outdoor area at the rear. Usual keg offerings and also serves a house badged ale on handpump of unknown origin, but which seemed to be a nice traditional bitter

The William Hardwicke is a very large pub on the high street in the centre of town. Steps lead up to two entrances that are found beyond a picnic lined patio area. In the left hand side of the pub is a pool table by the front entrance. This is free to play on Mondays when I am led to believe there is some sort of pool competition. Towards the left rear is a dartboard and seating stretches down the left hand side of what is essentially a central bar. The high street side of the bar faces the front windows where there is seating and a log burner that was unused during my warm Saturday afternoon visit. Adjacent to the right hand entrance is a small twee area that houses a brick fireplace and a few full bookshelves. Unsurprisingly this was the area of choice for those of many years. More seating runs down the right hand side that leads to a large seating area that doubles up as a dancefloor at night. Out the back is a large paved picnic table strewn beer garden.
Karaoke is held here every Tuesday evening from 20:30 until midnight. There is also a late license until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays for ‘club night’.
The bar is stocked the standard draught and I noted two hand pumps. One of these was off and the other was drawing William Hardwicke, which could be anything. Pub grub is available every day from midday until 21:00.
I found the barmaids to be very friendly and I would pop back in if passing with a group of mates. I’d probably give it a miss if on my own and I wouldn’t go in the evening when I imagine it becomes a bit raucous.

Closed since November 2013, glad to report the Willian Hardwicke reopened last month after a substantial investment in a refurb. The Sussex CAMRA rag reports that Deuchars IPA and a house Ale will be permanently available.
