Cornfield Garage
Cornfield Road, Eastbourne
Three and a half stars (561 reviews)
This Eastbourne pub is near the town centre.

Trevor B said: “The place is much larger than first appears from the outside and service was quick and friendly.”
The West Quay
Brighton Marina, Brighton
Three and a half stars (468 reviews)
With a fantastic view of the marina, the price friendly food and drink isn’t the only reason to visit this location.
Ranking just above its North Street counterpart, The West Quay is usually bustling, especially in the summer.
K8195QNdavidl said: “The beer is always cheap and good quality with a continuously changing range to choose from.”
The Post and Telegraph
North Street, Brighton
Three and a half stars (377 reviews)
Often the busiest Wetherspoons in Brighton, thanks to its central location, The Post and Telegraph gets good foot traffic on North Street and is especially popular over the weekend.
MrsBsTravels said: “Good enough place for a drink. Popped in as I was thirsty. Easy enough to find a seat. Served quickly and with a smile. Sticky table needed a wipe, but can’t have everything.”
The London and County
Terminus Road, Eastbourne
Three and a half stars (266 reviews)
It’s location right by Eastbourne Station is ideal for those coming into or going out of the town, perfect for a drink or bite to eat before making any journey.
MaryLykes said: “Came for lunch and picked the Indian food special. Lovely service from the manager and waiting staff. Incredibly tasty food.”
The Three Fishes
Chapel Road, Worthing
Three and a half stars (227 reviews)
This may be your typical Wetherspoons most of the time, but if you pop down on a Friday or Saturday night you’ll be treated to a live DJ with your meal or drinks.
Kels0laddie said: “The food, as you can imagine, was standard fare for ‘Spoons so no complaints there and the service was equally good.”
The Six Gold Martlets
Church Walk, Burgess Hill
Three and a half stars (207 reviews)
This is one of the earlier closing Wetherspoons on this list - on Saturday it shuts at 11.45pm - but if you are in the area and don’t plan on staying out too late it’s a good spot to visit.

The George Inn
Surrey Street, Littlehampton
Three and a half stars (168 reviews)
The location furthest west on our list, The George Inn, much like most other Wetherspoons locations, offers a good variety of food and drink at prices that won’t hurt the pocket.
Tiggerone said: “The deal on a Tuesday two steaks and a bottle of wine is a great deal, not only that but it was very enjoyable. The staff were friendly and helpful.”
The Cliftonville Inn
George Street, Hove
Three and a half stars (103 reviews)
While other pubs, bars and restaurants on George Street have changed over the years The Cliftonville has remained a constant.
It’s in a good area for those who want to do a spot of shopping after their meal.
