Relaxed welcoming atmosphere in this superb shabby no frills unmodernised pub on the main Lewes road heading out of Brighton. Quiet just a couple of young chaps at the bar knocking back shorts who surprisingly knew the exact provenance of the house beer to which the barman was at a loss when asked.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goldmark - Jolly Brewer Best Bitter | 4.00 | | A creamy malty cooking bitter in excellent condition and temperature. |
| Gun - Scaramanga Extra Pale Ale | 3.90 | | Fruity dry hoppy refreshing fare. |
