The next pub visited in Horsham was Sit and Sip which is part of a very small chain (well, it’s this and another venue in Wokingham).
The beer list which has some interesting keg options alongside the mainstream ones. The prices are pushing towards the higher end of the scale, but at least they’ve made an effort to provide some comfortable surroundings.
This is the Sunny from Vault City, lots of orange and suitably smooth. Perhaps this should be an option on hotel breakfast buffets….. And there’s Oscar. He had the Rolling Papers from Bullhouse and we agreed that it seems to be better in cans. It’s perhaps just one of those peculiar mysteries of brewing, like how Guinness tastes better in Dublin or why some beers lose their sparkle when poured by anyone called Derek.
The bar felt rather on-trend and the customer base was a mostly younger one. It’s more of a cafe bar on weekends with light snacks being available, but in general, they’re aiming to be a cocktail and craft beer bar. The only downside is that they closed at midnight, rather earlier than Oscar would have ideally liked, which meant we had to look for somewhere else. Between my two blog readers and myself, Oscar’s idea of a fun evening involves bars that only close when the sun comes up or when the staff finally beg him to leave. Or both.
Anyway, all rather lovely and I’m pleased to have been to half the Sit and Sip pub empire now.
