My second visit of the day and now late afternoon after some very scenic walks around the countryside surrounding Basted. Never so thirsty and so ready to try their other two real ales also on, on this fine sunny day. A warm welcome and prompt service and made for the rear garden which was where all the punters were hanging out and supping their ales.

Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter4.00GoodPresented with very good head and lacing and remained throughout on this Lewes-based bitter. A fruity bitter first hit. A fruit-infused malty bitterness rising up from its Maris Otter malted barley in the mouthfeel and a sweet hoppiness lingering on from its blend of four local hops.
Timothy Taylor - Landlord4.30GoodCame with good head and lacing and lasting on this pale ale from Keighley in West Yorkshire. A fruit-infused hoppy first hit. A hoppy bitterness then presented itself on the taste buds and lingered.

Quiet footfall for my early afternoon visit to this old country pub which grew out of a row of three farming cottages in the hamlet of Basted just outside Borough Green. A warm welcome and prompt service.

Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - The Wife of Bath's Ale3.90ExcellentCame with good head and lacing and lasting on this Canterbury golden bitter. A hoppy first hit. A fruity bitterness rising up on the taste buds and a grapefruit and citrus-infused hoppiness lingering. Very refreshing and following my walk along many a footpath from Borough Green and its café close to the station.
