Millions of Britons are happiest when they’re in the pub, according to a new study.

The top reason for visiting the pub was to catch up with friends, followed by the atmosphere, an opportunity to have a few drinks, laughing with friends, to eat, to drink real ale, because it’s close to home, to have a romantic night with a partner, to play pool, and to play fruit or quiz machines.

A third of respondents also laugh most at the pub, twice as many as those at work and more than at friends’ houses.

Brits visit the pub twice a month on average, with one in five on first-name terms with bar staff and landlord.

The study found 40% of respondents make a special trip to visit a pub that serves their favourite beer, with lager the most popular, closely followed by cask ale.

Fish and chips was voted favourite pub meal.

A spokesperson said: “The fact more people say they’re happier in the pub than in a park, driving or shopping proves how much we love popping out for a pint. There’s never been more choice on the bar but what remains most important is quality…”

This gorgeous conker-themed jigsaw created by A D Crafting will be with us on Sunday 8th October as part of our Bonkers For Conkers 10th Birthday Bash

And… it’ll up for auction!

Bidding will begin via our facebook page very soon, and will continue at the event at our ‘brewery in a barn’.

Our much-loved, well-supported annual conker competition began life in 2007; this year marks the event’s 10th birthday. Our ‘Bonkers for Conkers BIG 10th Birthday Bash’ takes place at the brewery – our beautiful barn on the Cowdray Estate – on Sunday 8th October.

It’s free to come along, but please give generously, as we’ll be collecting for Chestnut Tree House Hospice Care Sussex.

Our fabulous 4.9% American Pale Ale ‘Arapaho’ has won ‘ale of the festival’ at the recent Haslemere Beer Festival… for a 2nd time!

The beer was launched at the Haslemere Beer Festival in 2013 (which was it’s first win).
It was our first ever ‘hop monster’ beer, brimming over with amarillo aroma and flavour.
Find out more about our Arapaho (and more of our ales) just here: Langham Brewery – Our Beers

So, now in the late summer of 2017, Arapaho has done it again… the delicious brew was ‘up against’ more than 40 other real ales from the local area.

We are absolutely thrilled to have won, especially against such ‘stiff’ competition.
We are now looking forward to welcoming the wonderful folk from the Haslemere Beer Festival Committee to our brewery to celebrate in style… ie for a ‘bit of a knees up’!

Our next event – THIS Saturday, 26th August – will be our usual relaxed style of summertime family fun – with live music (10 + excellent bands), fine local food (hog roast, veggie options, cakes, icecreams and more), plus a well-stocked bar (with over 14 of our excellent ales, plus ciders, wines and softs) – and a lovely, friendly atmosphere.

We look forward to welcoming you (and the family)! The event is free, but do give generously, as we will be collecting for the South Downs Way; we’d like to help pass the beautiful park onto future generations.
We’re aiming to do our best to support the good work that the South Downs National Park and the South Downs Way carry out.

The South Downs National Park plan to bring along their ‘events van’, chock-full of information, maps and leaflets etc, plus fun activities for the children (and the big kids within us all!). Expect giant jigsaws, badge making, a ‘feely box’, plus a chance to meet the South Downs Rangers… and more.
