I haven't been here for years which is a shame as this is such a pretty village. The pub is tucked away in the corner of the main square, opposite the manor house, just in front of the church. Central bar serves 3 rooms with a public bar at the rear, a side room and the main bar. Lighter colours in the main bar with a snug traditional feel in the rear bar.

Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter4.00ExcellentGood character, typical Harvey's. Bit more malt than hoppy and I would happily drink this all night.

Arrived about 9pm and there were a handfull of people in. It was quite smokey on one side of the bar but on the other it was a bit better and had the benefit of a loverly warming real fire.

Whitstable - East India Pale Ale (or EIPA)4.10AcceptableThere was nothing wrong with this but I think it was near the end of the barrel. It had a quite deep and harsh bitterness to it and none of the usual flowery hop zing that a 'top of barrel' pint might have. Still, it was good to see it on.
