Most people outside in the delightful garden on a warm Saturday lunchtime.

Harvey's - Olympia4.30GoodAn appropriate choice I thought. Yellow in colour with soft hoppiness, biscuity malt and a hint of citrus fruit. My score 15/20.

You just know when you are in a good pub, you can't really explain it. People sitting out in the pretty garden,old ladies sniffing the early roses: a pleasant hum of activity inside.

Harvey's - Knots of May Light Mild3.00ExceptionalAn excellent light mild:that Harveys tang, followed by a subtle hop aspect.I could drink this all day (and remain coherent). Wonderful. It reminded me a bit of a Rayment's light mild from years back.On gravity, too!
Harvey's - Olympia4.30ExcellentA fine golden ale, with a decent floral hop. Harveys seem to be firing on all cylinders at the moment.
