As part of their “How To Spend It Feature”, FT (The Financial Times) writers and editors picked “their favourite spots for a pint by the fire”.
Two Sussex boozers made the list of 30 from around the country.
Paul David Gould, FT Weekend Production Editor plumped for The Lion and Lobster near Brighton seafront saying, “the aptly lobster-pink exterior announces this pub as something special”.
He said: “Inside it’s a labyrinth, every wall and shelf brimming with old photos, framed prints, artwork and retro ephemera. Don’t come expecting minimalism – come for candlelight, conviviality and an open fire.
“Upstairs there’s the old-school grandeur and antique chairs of the Regency restaurant, and a tucked-away roof terrace open to the sunshine (or bracing air) of the seaside.”
General manager of Lion and Lobster Emily said: “We were absolutely thrilled to be included and for the lovely write-up Paul David Gould gave. I think just one step inside the venue and you wouldn’t be able to disagree, we do cosy well! Thank you to Paul for the nomination.”
Data journalist Clara Murray named The Albion in Hastings’ Old Town as her cosy pub of choice.
She said: “Losing friends from London to coastal towns is made easier when you get to spend more time in cosy seaside pubs. The Albion in Hastings’ Old Town has become a particular favourite.
“After a bracing cliffside walk, there’s little better than sinking your teeth into a hearty homemade pie with lashings of gravy. Cosiest of all are their regular live Irish music sessions.”
