Man reveals novel way to choose which Horsham pub to visit first after lockdown

People’s thoughts are turning to the day pubs reopen and they can once again visit their favourite establishment.

But with so many pubs in the Horsham area some people have been left in a dilemma as to which to visit first.

Now Southwater resident Andrew Naylor has come up with a novel solution to help people decide.

He has created a virtual reality Instagram filter which displays a selection of Horsham pubs before choosing one from the list.

Andrew, 25, said: “I had seen a similar filter on a mate’s Instagram page and thought it would be a good idea to do the same but with Horsham pubs.

“I am sure lots of people are looking forward to when the pubs re-open, this seemed like a fun way to start planning!”

The filter took between two and three hours to make with the help of a YouTube video, according to Andrew.

He added: “It was a bit tricky in places, but nothing too technical.

“Most people seem to like the idea, and have had fun trying it out.”
Andrew said he chose which pubs to include based on his local knowledge.

Venues in the filter include Brewhouse and Kitchen, The Red Deer and The Lynd Cross.

He added: “Sorry to anyone if I missed out their favourite.”

Andrew said the first pub he plans to visit when restrictions are lifted will be ‘whichever pub my mates are in’.

He added: “It will be great to get back to seeing people again after this lockdown is over.”

Andrew’s filter effect is called ‘Which Horsham Pub?’ on Instagram.
