08 Jan 2022 (Philip Pirrip)
Early evening visit, immediately recognised "where have you been". Noticeably lower footfall and higher prices. Limited opening hours due to difficulty recruiting staff. Same old place still.
Dark Star - Hophead (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.80 | | 2 pumps on - 1st pint hazy so barman poured 2nd from the other pump and as clear as a bell and scrumptious |
Mallinsons - Koranum | 4.20 | | Superb with great balanced multiple hopping |
Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | | New cask - a bit fresh. Given gratis "for Christmas". Now usually £5.20 pp |

16 Nov 2021 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit to avail myself of the Fuller's 176th birthday £1.76 a pint promotion. First visit for 21 months and all faces behind bar new. The Guv says the 11pm close (even earlier on Sundays) is due to not being able to attract sufficient staff. I stayed until close, as one must.
Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | | Now £5.10 pp before CAMRA discount. A massive hike since last visit |

05 Oct 2021 (ChrisE)
Afternoon visit and the pub was busier than I expected it to be. We sat in the upstairs room which has recently been refurbished and was relatively quiet.

21 Aug 2021 (Philip Pirrip)
Circuitous wasted journey. 2324 hrs and all lights off and place deserted yet this part of London was buzzing, maybe not to pre-pandemic levels. Sure-fire way to lose footfall is to be closed.
15 Feb 2020 (Philip Pirrip)
