Bax Castle, Horsham

Modernised country pub close to the Downs Link walking and cycling route along the old railway line through Southwater. Quite a compact bar seating area, but there's a rear room, a semi-separate restaurant in a converted barn on the right-hand side and a beer garden at the front. Three handpumps on the counter, featuring a pair of local Firebird ales - Two Horses (£5.10) and Parody - with a reversed clip from a different brewery on the other.
