Moby Duck left this review about Piston Broke

Basically a single long room with motoring memorabilia as mentioned below. There were ten barrels on stillage, mostly Cider. Only two ales available which were Long Man Best and Only With Love Yacht Rock.
The bar was very quiet on my Saturday afternoon and lacking any real character, it failed to reach my pre-research expectations.

Real Ale Ray left this review about Piston Broke

A good pub if you're into Motor racing and ale. There was an engine block from a McLaren P1 on display along the back bar, which I found interesting, along with a choice of 7 ales and 6 ciders. Four ales from 360 degrees Brewing All Day extra pale, Session IPA, Brewing Bluebell Best Bitter, Double Decker Milk Stout, Two from Langhams Rocket Juice & Triple X Dark Mild and Burning Sky Brewery Arise.

Blue Scrumpy left this review about Piston Broke

Motor racing-themed pub with a good selection of Sussex real ales dispensed by gravity, along with some real ciders too.

Formula One memorabilia is everywhere. I suspect this place gets busy when they televise the live races. You can also drink to a decent soundtrack playing at an acceptable level. Dogs are welcome.

The amenable landlord had 3 cask ales to offer us - 360° When September Ends & Bluebell & Long Man Old Man. Ciders were Biddenden Strong Kentish Cider, Chiddingstone Cider & Seacider Medium Dry. Craft beers were also represented in the form of 360° Wanganui Avenue & Sussex Haze & Long Man Crafty Blonde.

This bar was last in the Good Beer Guide in 2015. But I cannot understand why. Of 8 pubs and bars visited in Shoreham over a couple of days, this was just about the highlight.
