Late evening visit until last orders bell. The back room has been denuded of all trinkets and felt depressingly austere and soul-less.

Harvey's - Wharf IPA | 4.80 | Not Tried | |

A couple of hours or more visit until close. Only 4 handpumps of 8 in use so more limited range than usual. Surprisingly low footfall for a Euros football TV night. A last chance saloon to redeem my amassed 60p Harvey's loyalty card value - the scheme is totally withdrawn at the end of July.
Harvey's - XX Dark Mild (or Sussex XX Mild) | 3.00 | | In fine form |
Harvey's - IPA | 3.50 | | Another one in fine form |
Harvey's - Tom Paine | 5.50 | | Good nightcapper |
Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | | Disappointing with a apple like taste. Later told had been an 18 gallon cask on for 5 or so days |
29 Jan 2020 (Philip Pirrip)

02 Dec 2019 (Magnus Greel)
Mid evening visit - a necessary stop to break up the long journey from SW19, fairly quiet I sat at the rear bar where there were a couple of chaps playing violins. I've only listed what I had..
Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | | Rather bland and watery also too chilled for my liking lost another star.. |
27 Nov 2019 (Philip Pirrip)
