The Wellington is an excellent beer-focussed pub a short walk east of Shoreham's main attractions (such as they are), owned by one of the founders of the late Dark Star Brewery. I found 8 or so handpumps serving independent brewery ale from Gun, Only With Love and so on and including their own 4.8% APA, in tribute to the now lost Dark Star brew. A good selection of well-chosen kegs supplements these, making an extended stop an easy option for the ale afficionado.

The music may be a little louder than I'd really like, but there's a great buzz of conversation in this rightly busy pub.

The Wellington boot hanging outside is a sure sign that you're at the pub. This is a good sized standalone building with a beer garden at the rear. The exterior is very unique and was once a Kempton Brewery Pub. The interior is Arts and Crafts in style with stained glass leaded windows. A collection of beer tankards hangs from the ceiling around the main lounge. Other features were the bar billards at the end of the bar and I also noticed an old can of Watneys party seven above the bar area.
Nine handpumps with 7 ales and 2 ciders. The line up was Dark Star Hophead, Duke of Wellington Brewhouse American Pale, Gun Brewery Zamama IPA, Three Acre Brewery Skylark Stout, Southern Strong Ale, Galaxy Rain and Wantsum Millers Mirth. Two ciders were, Lilleys Elderflower and Westerns Vintage. Definitely one for a revisit.

I was expecting this to be the highlight of our trip to Shoreham. Whilst it was a close call, I marginally preferred Piston Broke. Nevertheless, this is a great traditional pub with a single room stretching around the bar and a stage for live music on the right-hand side.

The atmosphere was convivial and whilst we were there, a guy started to sing and play the piano. He had a good voice and helped to create a really nice ambience.

Gun Zanzama IPA is the regular beer (at 6.5%, I saved this one until last). Other beers were Gun Scaramanga, Burning Sky Plateau & Fallow, Cellar Head Fuggle Rock & Flapjack & their own Duke of Wellington Brewhouse American Pale, which seemed to be really popular with the locals.

There were also a couple of ciders - Healey's Flattler & Lilley's Peach Cider. Gun NEIPA was a craft beer and they also seemed to have a fridge full of German bottled beers, which were also listed on a laminated sheet. Presumably this was some kind of Oktoberfest.
