A fairly plain shop-conversion branch of Wetherspoons on the pedestrianised section of the high street, this venue has been fitted out in a functional style. The layout sees a carpeted seating area to the left, with a mix of banquette booths divided by sturdy wooden partitions and standard tables and chairs. To the right, a bare-boarded bar area includes high tables, stools and a dartboard tucked near the entrance. The centrally positioned bar has a wood-slat front, a bare brick bar back and a metal-framed gantry. More exposed brick features on internal pillars, with a few colourful paintings and digital displays helping to break up the otherwise muted decor. A rather oversized fireplace dominates one wall, and there are a couple of skylights overhead. Several TV screens were showing muted early evening programming and the atmosphere was calm and friendly, with a well-behaved early evening crowd.
Three regular ales were double clipped and there were four guests on, although six guest pump clips were displayed and the first two I ordered were not actually pouring, with clips annoyingly left unreversed. I eventually tried something from Firebird, with most guest options coming from local breweries. The beer I had was in decent condition but service was mixed – the barman was rushed and unhelpful regarding the unavailable beers, while a waitress provided much friendlier interaction when my food arrived.
I was mildly irritated by the slapdash presentation of their ales - I mean, how difficult is it to turn a pump clip if a beer goes off - but putting that aside, this was a fairly functional 'Spoons with a modest interior, a few pleasant features and a better ambiance than you generally encounter in these pubs. The beer was in good nick too, so I can't be too down on the place, especially as Burgess Hill isn't exactly awash with good pubs.

Relatively-modern Spoons in a long and wide rectangular room, which feels pretty dark in the middle but has more lighting at the end. Usual range of furnishings and clientele. They have managed to control the acoustics though, with a pleasant background hum of conversation, only spoilt by the occasional squalling infant. Two guest ales, Exmoor Gold and Holderness Dark, alongside the usual brews and in good condition. Fair enough.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Six Gold Martlets (JD Wetherspoon)
New-ish shop-conversion 'spoons, less dressed-up than most but none the worse for that. Features a couple of rooflights near the front, but rather gloomy further back, especially in the run of booths along the side opposite the bar counter. In good weather, the patio tables out front in the pedestrian precinct are popular. Fairly indifferent selection of six real ales and one cider from the two banks of six handpumps, but my pint of Kissingate Sussex (£2.65) was in good form.

This is a new Spoons having opened in Spring 2014. It's situated at the start of the pedestrianised Church Walk on the left as you approach from the Railway Station. Unlike most nineties "identikit" shop conversion they have made a real effort here. It's a long narrow room with the bar on the right and exposed brickwork on the left where there are also some small booths. The most unusual feature is a genuine log fire which on my morning visit was positively roaring. Sadly on a late September day it wasn't really all that cold and I found the pub rather warm!
The bar has two banks of six hand pumps but sadly the beer selection wasn't that great. Doom Bore plus GK IPA & Abbot were doubled up and Shep's Bishops Finger was available soon. This left a cider, Hog's Back TEA & England's Glory and Wadworth Dungarvan Irish Red. I was reduced to drinking a sport badged beer namely the England's Glory (£2.55), a name now tinged with irony after they were stuffed by Wales. To be fair it was a reasonable beer in very good nick and although £2.55 for a standard guest is on the expensive side for a Spoons it isn't outrageously so.
Apart from the beer choice I thought this was a pretty good Spoons.
