Sir John Balcombe

Just off Dorset Square, re-opened in mid-November 2014 and reverting to one of its former names, this pub was refurbished again in 2019 and smarted up. There is a gastro feel, but beer is not neglected. The kitchen offers a modern all-day pub menu with dishes such as half a beer-brined chicken with sweet potato fries. One of the first of a new-wave of Enterprise managed pubs. Introduced a discount for CAMRA members in the summer of 2016. Memorabilia relating to the Balcombe Street Siege unfortunately vanished in the refurb.
