The Arun & Adur branch area covers the area between the rivers Arun (in the west) and Adur (in the east) and the A272 (in the north), with the sea being the southern boundary (map). This means that Arundel, Lancing, Littlehampton, Petworth, Pulborough, Steyning, Storrington, Worthing and the many villages, all form part of the branch. There are nearly 200 pubs and bars in our branch area and over 160 serve real ale, and there are over 461 branch members.
If you would like to join the the Arun & Adur Branch email group all you need to do is subscribe. This is a group of, mainly, local members who are alerting others to pub and real ale information - as it happens - in the local area.
