Sussex House Bar & Kitchen, Crawley

The Nicholas Culpeper is a relatively new landside airport bar and restaurant. The bar supports a standard and premium keg range alongside two hand pumps that were drawing Greene King IPA and Nicholas Culpeper Golden Ale. I opted for the Stella which was £4.80 a pint. This bar boasts of being the world’s first airport gin distillery, I don’t like gin so this was of little interest to me. The usual pub grub is available to eat in the bar or the upstairs restaurant. Burger with chips was priced at £11. The staff work hard and were very friendly, but there is no accounting for the vacuous morons that populate any built-up area so be prepared for selfish stupidity from some patrons. All in all, I thought this place was OK and next time I get my flight times mixed up and arrive three and a half hours early I will pop back in for another couple of wife-beaters.
