The Amsterdam Inn, Old Shoreham, Shoreham-By-Sea

Will Larter left this review about The Amsterdam Inn

Standing on a busy roundabout, the Amsterdam Inn is constructed from bricks and flints in the local style, with a mansard roof. There's a lower extension on the right, which is the restaurant. Enter by the main door and the bar is to the left, with five hand pumps facing, which makes a refreshing change. On closer examination, two of the pump clips are accompanied by "coming soon" tags, so that leaves three: regular Harvey's Sussex Best and St Austell Proper Job, plus local Long Man Mosaic Pale which was in good condition, but a bit sweet for my taste, and my debit card shuddered at the prospect of parting with £3.15 for a half. I saw a few more cask beers poured while I was drinking my beer, which shows the value of putting the pumps to the front. There was cricket on the TV and a pool table and darts up a couple of steps on the way to the toilet. Service was friendly and efficient, and I was thanked for returning my glass on the way out. It's good to see a pub that majors on both food and beer, with appreciative greetings and farewells to their customers. I'm beginning to sound like Trip Adviser, but seriously, this is a good un.
