Most people outside in the delightful garden on a warm Saturday lunchtime.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harvey's - Olympia | 4.30 |  | An appropriate choice I thought. Yellow in colour with soft hoppiness, biscuity malt and a hint of citrus fruit. My score 15/20. |

You just know when you are in a good pub, you can't really explain it. People sitting out in the pretty garden,old ladies sniffing the early roses: a pleasant hum of activity inside.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harvey's - Knots of May Light Mild | 3.00 | | An excellent light mild:that Harveys tang, followed by a subtle hop aspect.I could drink this all day (and remain coherent). Wonderful. It reminded me a bit of a Rayment's light mild from years back.On gravity, too! |
| Harvey's - Olympia | 4.30 | | A fine golden ale, with a decent floral hop. Harveys seem to be firing on all cylinders at the moment. |

| Harvey's - Hadlow Bitter | 3.50 | Not Tried |

A spring-like Saturday lunchtime:the pub busy with groups of diners and drinkers. Harveys on gravity...An excellent pub.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harvey's - Old Ale (or Sussex XXXX Old Ale) | 4.30 | | I hadn't tried this in ages, and it seems better than I remember. Dark, mellow and reassuring. |
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | | Beautiful condition with that Harveys yeast. |
| Harvey's - Armada Ale | 4.50 | | Apples followed by citrus hops.A wonderful grown up beer. |
