Late evening visit until close and just as the Harvey's ran out and was changed.
Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | | 2nd pint out of a new cask just put on. Will mature better for tomorrow. Very much bitter end of the Harvey's Best possible taste spectrum. Getting pricey here |
Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | Still showing 3.6% on clip |
Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |

Last knockings visit until close. Just a few in still.
Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | | Prime condition and maybe this is the yardstick for what Harvey's Best should taste like, but rarely does elsewhere |
Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | | Just a half, good condition but unexceptional |
Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | Still at 3.6% here |
Greene King - Morland Old Golden Hen | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
Banks's - Wainwright | 4.10 | Not Tried | |

Evening visit - all seats taken but soon vacated as live TV football ended. How come I have not visited this back-street gem for almost 11 years to the day.
Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | | I sometimes wonder what Harvey's Best should taste like but this must be a model for what it should be like. Superb |
Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | | Superb condition - a rare example of a bitter Abbot in peak condition |

We had a good chat with the guv who told us a bit about the history of the pub. A nice traditional pub.

Late afternoon and busy back street drinkers local. Although the postcode is correct in the description, the map link shows a false location. The pub is on North Road close to the White Horse.
