Quite busy for our lunchtime visit. The OAP meal was very good value.

I'd never been to this pub before. About 20 years ago there was a party happening here that Martin and I toyed with going to. It would mean, however, walking from Wye (an hour away through the woods) as there were no buses. In the end we didn't bother. That was the last time I ever contemplated coming here until today. It's a nice pub. Focuses mainly on dinners but even so it was cosy and friendly and the food was good.

Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter4.00GoodLacked a bit of condition which meant the fruity flavours were a bit subdued. Even so, it was still quite drinkable.

Stopped unexpectedly for Sunday roast with my wife to find the pub heaving with other like minded people. A good meal and good service despite it being so busy.
