A fine little pub. Busy late on Sunday afternoon with people who were clearly regular customers. A nice range of Sussex micro-brewed beers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Polarity - Rosetta’s Comet IPA | 5.50 | | Golden, fruity and bitter. |
| Engineer - Sussex Dubbel | 7.50 | | A cloudy amber colour. Strong and a little sweet. |
| Sixpenny (Wayland's Sixpenny) - India Pale Ale | 5.20 | Not Tried | |
| Downlands (formerly South Downs) - Papa Jr | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
| Polarity - Proton Brown Porter | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Brew Studio - Pale Ale | 4.00 | Not Tried |

Early lunchtime. I was the only customer for a while - the barman put this down to some recent staffing problems leading to irregular opening times. Shame - the conversion is very tasteful and looks to have had quite a bit spent on it.
Two other ales were being added as I left.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Downlands (formerly South Downs) - Best | 4.10 | | Trad bitter in good condition. |
| Downlands (formerly South Downs) - Hop Contract | 4.20 | | Marked up as 4.4% #5 Flat but a very nice, dry hop flavour. Turned out to be the last out of the barrel. |
| Downlands (formerly South Downs) - Root Thirteen | 3.60 | Not Tried |
