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.

| Harvey's - Christmas Ale | 7.50 |  | I don’t usual rate strong ales this low but it was sickly sweet. Condition fine. |

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.

Early evening. I’d heard that this had recently changed hands. Enthusiastic new owners talking of varying the real ales. TT Landlord ready to go on and a new Angels and Demons being delivered tomorrow. Unfortunately no other customers in - but I’ll keep an eye on this one.

Stop 3 cycle Sunday. Mid afternoon- friendly crowd of locals and a blazing log fire, nice.

Early evening - only a handful in. This looks like another rural gem - good “public bar” area with a pool table, a small eating area, plus conservatory, small garden and a quiete roadside area with bench table.
Love the (new) sign - with the old sawyer clearly not the wisest.

My wife and were in need of a lunchtime meal so dropped in here. It was quite quiet but then we had arrived just after noon. The food was good and reasonably priced with vegetarian options advertised.

Early afternoon Saturday. Not many in at first, but later there were a few people eating. Only two real ales.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Southwold Bitter | 3.70 | | Nice full hop flavour and an intensely dry finish. |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | | Quite smooth and creamy, but without any real character. Not bad nevertheless. |
