Sunday lunchtime cycle meet. We had a rather frosty welcome that was not improved by one of our group refusing the draught Guinness as being flat and thin. Landlord clearly has had better days.

We seemed to be the first in, and had a great chat with the landlord about his beer line up. Sat in the garden and enjoyed the sun.

Swift pint early Wednesday evening as I was passing. Just one other customer in who was playing pool with the landlord. No food still here. I don’t understand how there can be 4 real ales on with the (seemingly lack of) trade here. But the McCanns was good, albeit now £5.10 a pint.
McCanns (used to use Angels and Demons name as well) - Haffenden | 4.20 |  | A full bodied best bitter in good nick.

Quiet, free roast spuds and a wood fire on. Two other cyclists made it - we arrived in the dry and then supped as the rain started and got harder. What I do for a Sunday lunchtime pint.
One other Harvey ale on as - I think that 4 ales is too much for the turnover here.
Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 |  | Spot on. |
Harvey's - Old Ale (or Sussex XXXX Old Ale) | 4.30 |  | Definitely past its best. |
Harvey's - Sussex XX Mild (or Sussex Dark Mild) | 3.00 | Not Tried | |

Good Sunday lunchtime cycle meet. The landlord was, as ever, very attentive with the real ales. Talk of the lack of pub choice now in the Barfrestone and Shepherdswell area.
Shivering Sands - Castle Pale | 4.50 |  | Top notch pale ale in superb condition. |

Cycle meet lunchtime, six of us nearly doubled the numbers here. Still a wet only pub but we were given sausage rolls and olives. There is some exterior work underway - not sure how this is viable commercially but I hope it keeps going.
Harvey's - Wharf IPA | 4.20 |  | Super brew in good nick. |
Harvey's - Armada Ale | 4.50 |  | Sadly not at its best. |

Late afternoon- swift one. Two other customers in plus the yappy pub dog.

Harvey's - Lewes Castle Brown Ale | 4.80 |  | A free sample of new barrel. We liked it and bought some. Top pint. |
