Pub 3 in the Larkin's tour. They were growing pineapples in the garden, which itself gave fleeting views over the hills as the trees stayed gently in the breeze.

Fairly busy bank holiday Saturday lunchtime.A large family group of us came and dodged the wasps. Good pub.

| Wolf - Golden Jackal | 3.70 | | This seems to be everywhere this summer, and justly so. one of my favourite goldens-this has a good hop bite, coupled with some fruit.A good quaffing beer for a summer afternoon. |
| Larkins - Traditional | 3.40 | | This didn't seem to be the Traditonal that I remember: the toffee notes were replaced by a sharper edge-I don't think it was off, but a disappointment, as I really like this beer usually. |
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | My father in law and stepson had this, and said it was fine. |
| Bryson's Brews - Hurricane Bitter | 4.10 | Not Tried |

I had the week off and Isabel was in Nursery so we decided to visit Penshurst place and come here for lunch. We arrived just before 12 and sat out the back and enjoyed the views over the Weald.
