| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | | Waited for a new cask to be pulled through and had the first out. No doubt it would have improved after a few moved had been sold, a bit fresh |

Evening. Good trade. Nice touch when the Guv arrived and went around and greeted each table and group. 2 out of 6 handpump lines were in cleaning which restricted the choice somewhat.
