Red Lion, Handcross

Off to Nymans Garden near Crawley for a look at their Christmas trail.
The cafe was full, so we stepped across the road to the Red Lion. It’s been too long since my last country pub lunch, and it was a real pleasure. Hop branches on the walls and friendly service. Good unpretentious roast beef, yorkshire pudding and a pint of Harveys. Real Old England stuff, and a great treat on a winter’s day.

Beach House Cafe

Massive kudos to the Beach House Cafe on the beach by King’s Road playground. Great coffee and amazingly friendly staff. They even let me pop back with money later when I found myself short.

Now that’s service!
