Much comings and goings on a Saturday evening-a wedding party, a girl with a hobby-horse and a Prince Harry lookalike:we'd come for a meal with family and friends.

Comfortably busy on an infrequent mid week visit: we'd come for a family meal.I had been here years ago, way before the fire-I don't remember much about it, but it retains a familiar prosperous atmosphere.

My first visit here and liked the atmosphere, we decided to occupy a table at the bar level vice the more opulent surroundings by the main entrance.

Evening. Despite single manning the bar the barman juggled restaurant, cocktails and bar orders very well.

Evening. Hoping to find some local ales here but overall a bad experience. Just one friendly barman serving and trying to cope with restaurant drinks orders and bar customers leading to long 7 minute wait to get served and several others even longer. Someone should have come to help him.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | | A respite from the poorer ales |
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Blue Top | 4.80 | | Just about acceptable. Very tired pint |
| Pig & Porter - Strangely Brown | 4.40 | | Strangely sour I'd say. Swapped out without question |
| Dark Star - American Pale Ale (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 4.70 | Not Tried |

The beer line up looked good peering through the window. We sat in the garden. Pleasant if a little impersonal.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Long Man - Copper Hop | 4.20 | | Copper coloured. Strong earthy hop. |
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Sun Top | 3.60 | | A touch flat but nice tangerine. |
