I needed something to eat and what better than the good value sandwiches in here. I opted for the healthy sausage and bacon sarnie which was very enjoyable. I did not list all the beers but as usual there was a good range. I picked up the latest Sussex Drinker whilst in here.

Not too busy mid Monday afternoon. We all got here, got beers and then Tom tried to buy some of the bottles of Rodenbach Alexander that were on the picture rail. Could have done with one or two more beers on I guess.

Busy pub with quieter front bar and pool tables, darts and TVs showing sport in the rear. Always a good beer selection on the bar.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1648 - Saint George English Ale | 4.50 | | Copper/amber colour, lasting beige head. Very malty bitter. Decent fruit. Like all 1648 beers, well made, decent bitter. |
| Hepworth - Super Horse | 6.10 | | Hazy copper colour. It’s like a green apple strongish bitter. Bit of toffee. Bit disappointing. Bit too much toffee. |
