Pleasantly cool inside on a scorching August Sunday lunchtime:more people outside in the garden.Our first visit here for fifteen years:I still think of it as a home for Goacher's Mild.

Lunchtime. Cycled here to meet up with 3 veteran Potterers. Only two other customers, good fire on the go. Food was fine apparently. Hard going making a living out in the sticks in January I imagine.

We were walking on the nearby hill and came passed hoping to get a pint but we were 15 mins to early and so carried on. I did peer in the window though to see what they had on.

It was such a nice day that we went for a walk around Perry wood and finished off here. Friendly landlady and the pub's garden is lovely looking straight into the wood.

Jane and I had an afternoon to ourselves so we can for a walk on the hill and a pint in the pub. I've not been here for a while but little has changed. Lovely little place in the woods.

Hadn't been to Perry Wood for well over a year. 3 beers on draught. Tried the Harveys Sussex, which I have invariably tried on previous visits but it was poor and lifeless. Attempted the Adnams Southwold Bitter, but this too suffered from lack of regular volume to keep it fresh.

Went for a picnic in the woods whilst the weather was still good enough and decided to pop in for a half on the walk back. Pub garden was quite busy but we got a seat fine.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hepworth - Sussex Pale Ale | 3.60 | | Nice. Pale orange-gold. Nice orange peel notes and a leafy hop finish. Vaguely reminiscent of Goacher's Light |
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | Had a sip of Jane's and it tasted very good. |
| Adnams - Southwold Bitter | 3.70 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Perry Wood, Kent, ME13 9RY.
Set in a dip between pine covered shingle hills in Crown Hill this has to be one of Kent's prettiest pubs. The garden is worth visiting by itself. The pub gets busy so if you want to eat it may be worth booking.
We have visited this pub 27 times, seen 21 different beers and tried 15 of them.
