Monday evening and reasonably busy. I did not make a note of all the beers on offer but there was a good selection from the Harvey's range.

I had taken the trouble to check opening times on another web site, which said the pub was open all day, so I was disappointed to find that it is currently closed on Mondays.

Monday evening, there was a fairly large group of us, but otherwise the pub was quiet. A most enjoyable visit and the landlord told me that he used to manage the Ram (Brewery Tap) before it was converted to a vistor centre.

A visit by the Thursday evening mild drinkers saw the mild on special offer at £2/pint.
| Harvey's - Knots of May Light Mild | 3.00 | | Sweet and malty with a fruity finish. My score 16/20. |
| Harvey's - Lewes Castle Brown Ale | 4.80 | | Good mix of traditional hops and sweetish toffee and caramel malt flavours. Full bodied with a dryish, nutty finish. My score 16/20. |

Oh how Wandsworth used to be a beer paradise with locally brewed Young's at all points of the compass but latterly with the beer brewed at Bedford it has been off my compass completely. Now we have a new beacon of hope with the opening of a Harveys of Lewes house on 4th May 2012. A refurbishment during a short period of closure. No great smell of paint nor varnish and an interesting wall paint design of cream with dappled brown. This was a mid evening visit and 15 or so imbibers in place.
| Harvey's - Knots of May Light Mild | 3.00 | | £2.70 p.p. |
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | | £3.20 p.p. |
| Harvey's - Armada Ale | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Harvey's - Olympia | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
