The Star Inn, Polegate

Very upmarket dining pub / restaurant in the picturesque High Street, although I was made welcome when just calling in for a drink. The entrance actually leads directly into the main dining area, with the smaller bar being located up a couple of steps. A residents lounge and a another dining room for events can be found further back, with all parts having a smart, traditional look. Two local Harvey's beers on handpump: the inevitable Sussex plus the Old Ale (excellent, although so it should be at (£6.60!). The brewery's crafty Black Stout was also available on the keg taps, along with several others including Birra Murano.
