Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Maypole Inn
Traditional pub on the original road from Barnham, now reduced to a footpath at the level crossing over the railway line. The main door is sheltered below a canopy, and this leads to quite a simply furnished saloon bar with limited decoration. Beyond this, the larger public bar / games room is even more plain. Three Downlands beers (Best, Famous sailors and 1984) were featured on the bank of six handpumps, along with Nonpareil Pale from Sunken Knave.

A bit out of the way, but somehow managing to pack in 8 handpumps and a room full of regulars. The room on the right is large enough for a pool table and, by the sound of it, a television; the room to the left is smaller but does have the advantage (on a cold winter's day) of a couple of real fires. Those pumps were offering 2 ciders and 5 ales (from which we alternated between Hophead and a beer called Dave, presumably for good reasons which we didn't investigate).
The beer was good, the fires were warming, the bar staff welcoming and we stayed a while.

A pub I have visited occasionally over many years but not quite close enough to walk to when visiting relatives, this superb pub is situated down a narrow no through lane (unless you are on foot as there is only a pedestrian crossing across the railway going out the other way). A very friendly locals pub with a very good range of ales. It has been in the CAMRA good beer guide foe many years. It has two drinking areas each with its own bar and a covered external drinking area outside of one of the bar areas. On my recent visit they had Arundel Sussex Mild, Battledown Sunbeam, Skinners Betty Stogs, Dark Star Hophead and Dark Star Pale Ale. Well worth seeking out this pub.
