Good Sunday lunchtime cycle meet. The landlord was, as ever, very attentive with the real ales. Talk of the lack of pub choice now in the Barfrestone and Shepherdswell area.

Cycle meet lunchtime, six of us nearly doubled the numbers here. Still a wet only pub but we were given sausage rolls and olives. There is some exterior work underway - not sure how this is viable commercially but I hope it keeps going.

Cycle meet. Six of us just about doubling the numbers. Wet only still - with a few free nibbles.

Lunchtime cycle meet. 7 of us. Still just a wet pub - but free sausage rolls on a Sunday. The beer choice was very good and the landlord attentive to end-of-barrel situations. I understand that he has fallen out with the local Parish Council over the ACV listing.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harvey's - Georgian Dragon | 4.70 | | Super pint “hint of fruitcake”. St George’s Day brew. |
| Shivering Sands - Knock John Amber | 4.60 | | Fresh on after the Georgian. Light, citrusy with a good hoppy bite. |
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | End of barrel accepted by one of our group - but landlord wasn’t happy with the look of it and a few sips in replaced it with one straight from the new cask - it was very good apparently. |

Popped in with Martin for a pint as he lived nearby and neither of us had been before. Friendly place with lots of the older generation playing cards or supping beer. Large inglenook fireplace with a wood burner throwing out heat. Top pub.

| Harvey's - XX Dark Mild (or Sussex XX Mild) | 3.00 | | Lovely stuff. I like low ABV beers like this. Dark, hint of roasted malt, watery. Shame we could only stay for one. |

Sunday lunchtime cycle meet. Changes to the layout since my last visit - the main bar is now more intimate with a partition wall installed and the pool table moved to the other bar area. Still a work in progress and no hot food, but we again had some gratis nibbles. A good range of four ales, all from Harvey’s.

Lunchtime. Our cycling group of 9 boosted numbers well. The beers were in very good condition. Landlord is still having issues with the kitchen apparently so no food menu - but he put out some gratis nibbles for us and conjured up a cheese baguette for a particularly hungry biker.
