The firm that owns a Worthing pub has taken on two new sites – and they’re being refurbished to reopen this month.

Good Times Pubs and Bars are super excited to be working with Harvey's Brewery to take over a further two of their sites after successfully running The Poets Ale and Smokehouse in Hove for 10 years.

The Mitre Tavern and The Constant Service in Brighton will join the compay’s other sites to make this a total of nine pubs, including The Basketmakers Arms, The Lewes Road Inn, The George Payne, The Stirling Arms, The Railway Inn, Portslade and The Cricketers in Broadwater, Worthing.

A spokesperson said: “We are currently giving both pubs a refurbishment to give them the ‘Good Times touch’ and get them to a standard we are happy to operate from. We are looking forward to bringing the same passion, energy and attention to detail to these pubs that we have for all our other sites. We appreciate in previous times these sites have had some great landlords and ladies, our hard working team of staff want to help bring these pubs back to life as community focused and inspired venues serving the best pints of Harvey's beer alongside a quality food offer.

“We plan to open The Mitre Tavern with a range of homemade bar snacks including scotch eggs, sausage rolls, pies, and big sandwiches, all made in house by our pastry chefs to complement a perfectly poured pint of Harvey's beer. We are looking forward to meeting the London Road community and plan to make sure this a good staple traditional British pub again in the local area. Lots of people have been knocking on the window while we have been refurbishing wanting to talk to us about the pub, it clearly holds a place in a lot of people's hearts. Opening date planned for Friday 20th February.

“The Constant Service will feature an impressive homemade pie menu, alongside plenty of small plates, big lunch time sandwiches, homemade deserts, gelato and a solid Sunday lunch offer served till 8pm. We plan to open from 12 everyday, offering food deals in the week alongside a host of entertainment with lots of friendly faces behind the bar, getting this pub back to the buzzy community space it once was. Opening date planned for Friday 27th February.

“We cannot wait to welcome both familiar faces and new customers through the doors and continue creating Good Times in two wonderful pubs.”
