The Hollytree Inn, Arundel

A nice looking pub from the outside in a central village location, plenty of people enjoying a drink sat outside at the front of the pub on my midweek evening visit, there was two pumps on but due to the hot weather I didn't fancy a ale so went for a pint of Strongbow cider not my favourite but nothing else on. Sat outside and then noticed the state of the glass it was filthy and when I looked around it seemed everybody's glass was the same, it really put me off, shame because it's a decent pub.

A pub that has been in different hands and numerous closures in the past few years, it was cooed for a number of months prior to reopening on 19th December 2010. The new publican has started carrying out various improvements and has more planned. There are redevelopment plans to build houses behind the pub together with more major changes to the pub. However, for now it's good to see the only pub in this village reopened. Three out of the four hand pumps were on serving Adnams Best, Sharps Doom Bar and Bombardier. the Doom Bar was very nice.
