The pub must consider advertising it is under "New New Management" because as a local, I attributed being under "New" Management with the former regime who turned my favourite pub in Rottingdean into an absolute shambles after they took over. Only after chatting with an old timer at the Post Office, he told me the old regime left and there is a new landlord. Are you sure? Yes, he assured me I should give it a go again. The old chap was right. Standards now exist. The food doesn't taste like it was hauled out of the Iceland freezer, it now is tasty. Both the garden (which I always fancied on the rare mild day) and inside is great. The former regime had no clue what the wifi password was. Mobile coverage is nil because the useless council will not approve the building of a new mast after the one at White Horses was removed during the renovation. Anyway, the new owners seem to care about customer service and making it a decent experience out. It is probably too dog friendly, but compared to what the previous regime did to this pub, I will endure the hounds if it means enjoying this pub, now that it has been recalled to life. Well done, Black Horse. Giddyup!
