Aldrington, near the station, but willing to look less local if it is a nice boozer

Jump on a bus/train, go to the Stanley in Wolsley Rd/Stanley Rd in Portslade...great ale, friendly staff/owners, and nice regulars-they like their football, mind!
They do cellar tours once a month !

You want to get yourself over to BN2, it has all the best pubs...

Hove is a bit lacking, I'd agree that the Stanley is probably the best in your area

Mind you the evening star by Brighton station is a great pub if you like ale, it's not a quiet local though.

So not very much in Hove then? Doesn't have to be a real ale pub, but my local is the Kendal Arms, which is big, cold, has no people or atmosphere and is expensive considering. I work on North Road so somewhere between Aldrington and Brighton central would do too

The Portland "rock bar"!?

Talking of Syds bikes, I keep going past when it is closed but looks like a decent bike shop (plenty to ogle in the window).

Any reviews?

i once went in the 'jamaica inn' down that way. A fight had broken out in the time it took us to walk from the door to the bar (not a long walk). We came back to brighton

Sorry, I was just recommending an excellent pub in the town, seeing as you mentioned you lived near a railway station...

Just have an explore, there are plenty of pubs in BN3, The Station, The Forager, The Exchange is crap btw - beyond kitch! The Ancient Mariner as mentioned. There seems to be a pub on every corner at Poet's Corner - no pun intended. Get out there.. 😉

If you walk from Aldrington to Portslade, there's about 5 pubs along the road!

If you fancy a ride up to Devils Dyke one evening for a pint, let me know 😉
