There is a vintage bus running day at Horsham today and this pub is conveniently the first stop for a full Southdown double decker heading to Steyning. Surprised when only two of us get off here for a 45 minute stop before picking up the bus on its way back.

I couldn’t resist the chance to drink this in the brewery tap. It turns out to be just a little off colour.

16:00 visit. Our third stop and we soon filled the place up. Came here on our last bus jolly in 2010. Always an excellant pub stop this one with some top ales on too. A current 2013 gbg entry.

Another Locale winner from Ringmer, just over the border in E. Sussex. This was good, and a new brewery tick for me too.

The Butcher's Arms Brewery tour stopped here for lunch between visiting the Dark Star Brewery and the Kent brewery. It's a surprisingly big pub and 50 drunk blokes in red shirts managed not to entirely crowd-out the locals.
