Welcome to the comprehensive Ian and Ellie Pub Review Guide

Our top-rated pub

The Gun in Gun Hill is our top rated pub. We visited in September 2018 and it scored an impressive 86 out of a possible 100. It has remained in first place since then despite having some very close calls. The crown was almost taken by The Star, Alfriston when that scored 85 in December 2021.
