1st visit of the outing: Busy for our early afternoon arrival with some locals in before the Tonbridge Angels Football Club's match. Friendly, prompt service from the barmaid with two cask on. A table to be had for our party of three. A very traditional, wet-led looking pub and appears to have escaped a modern-look makeover. Pool and darts playing customers are catered for. The pub can be traced back to 1841 from its licensee listing.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 |  | Good head and lacing and lasting on this Lewes-brewed Sussex bitter. A hoppy bitter first bite. A subtle fruitiness rising with hints of floral spice. Its four different local hop varieties lending its a moreish hoppiness. Its Maris Otter and Crystal malt giving it a touch of caramel flavouring. A pleasant bitterness ebbing out. |

Late afternoon after local footie match, a few friendly locals in sheltering from the incessant rain. Must support this more, as it's now my nearest pub.
