12:30 Family lunch. First visit here, very impressed. Friendly staff, lovely pub, good food and good beer. Mix of drinkers and diners.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wadworth - Swordfish | 5.00 | | First time I have drunk this beer. Good example of an ESB. |
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 |  | This is not the beer it was. Not so long ago I rated it highly but recently I find it has become too sweet. Starts well but fades away after a couple of mouthfuls. Shame. |
