The Top House, Burgess Hill

I blame Thameslink for my arrival at this manic pub a couple of minutes from Burgess Hill station (well, that and the crowds in Quench down the road persuading me to give it a miss). It was raucous and busy, though I was served swiftly. I was surprised to see the adventurous choice of Three Acres Blood Orange Pale amongst the 3 cask offerings, though rather less so that it tasted weird given the ingredients. I was equally unsurprised to note that the various lagers were preferred by the majority of the clientele. It's pretty bright in there, although that must help the darts and pool players, and seats were to be had amongst the throng. I think that, in future, should I find myself in this town again, I'll be taking more notice of train cancellations and skip The Top House.
