Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Laughing Fish

The former Station Hotel, still performing some of that function as Isfield is currently the southern terminus of the partly restored Lavender Line heritage railway. Anyway, it has been opened out to some extent, to leave an interconnected U-shaped layout of the main bar to the right (with snug-sized seating area beyond) and the larger dining room on the left-hand side. Although a Greene King house these days, the cask ale selection from a total of nine handpumps split between the two counters was Long Man best bitter and an immaculate Session Pale from Three Acre Brewery (£5.25).

Classic Victorian Gothic pub built to serve the adjacent station (now home to the Lavender Line steam railway) which has had some slight modernisations (including disabled access)but retains its character. Main room to the left but retains what was once a public bar area to the right with a small games room behind. Garden area to one side, plus tables to the front, and a large field behind used for camping or caravanning. The physical description doesn't do it justice though, there are excellently-kept beers, the food is equally good and home-made, and suffice it to say that the games on offer include toad in the hole and bagatelle, alongside bar billiards, darts and numerous board games. Once a Beards' pub, beers now come largely from Greene King but include some interesting (very) local guests. Cask Marque and Good Beer Guide listed at time of visit, and numerous awards on display. All in all, an absolute gem.
