Just popped in here for a pint because a. I had not been here and b. the timings of trains/buses didn't work to be at The Butcher's for opening. It's a decent pub where I was quite happy to have a pint reading the paper.

| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | | Served a bit too cold, but pretty faultless. Bit of biscuit on the malt and a little less hoppy. |

Came to see what it was like. Fairly empty with a handfull of wedding guests sitting at the bar. Lots of copper kettles and the like hanging from the ceiling and bright spot lights.
