The Coopers Inn is a pub and carvery that is located on Hailsham Road and is not accessible on foot to the feint hearted as there are no foot paths and some of the walk has to be done down a national speed limit road. This is probably the reason that every person was eating the £3.69 roast with as much veg as can be crammed onto a plate when I visited on Saturday evening. The atmosphere was nonexistent and there was a strong smell of fat throughout the entire pub, but at those prices I doubt many diners really care. There is a standard draught selection and six hand pumps are on the bar which were all adorning London Pride clips. The Guinness was good and the barmaid was friendly, but I was glad to escape to the covered seating at the front of the pub that separates it from the huge car park. This pub has standard opening hours and food is served daily until 21:00, but the cut price roasts increase to £6.75 on Sundays which is fair enough. I can’t imagine a return visit.
