Early evening. Covid 19 precautions being adhered to conscientiously. We sat outside in the garden with our dogs,while inside the pub quickly filled up with diners.

Pleasantly busy Sunday lunchtime.We sat in the garden under the apple trees. A group of locals were discussing a hogroast at someone's wedding. A clean and tidy, well run pub,mainly aimed at the dining market, as are many!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arundel - Castle | 3.80 | | On the pumps as Fox Goes Free Best Bitter, brewed at Arundel.I think it was this.Anyway, a pleasant Best, with a bit more in the way of hops and condition than the Ballard's. Brown, not boring. |
| Otter - Amber | 4.00 | | A different one, this-spicy, with almost a seaweedy tang.Had a quick half : would like to try more. |
| Ballards (now a sub-brand of Greyhound) - Best Bitter | 4.10 | | Not in tiptop condition, but a good best bitter, with plenty of malt.Good chestnut colour. |
| Otter - Ale | 4.50 | Not Tried |

Lovely old pub,mostly laid up for meals. Traditional bar to one side.Very popular with diners. Meals pricey but decent helpings.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ballards (now a sub-brand of Greyhound) - Best Bitter | 4.10 | | Copper coloured. Initially malty and one dimensional, but after a few minutes the hops won through, leading to a well balanced traditional Best, well capable of coping with the epic steak and kidney pie that we consumed crammed into the inglenook. |
| Hop Back - Summer Lightning | 5.00 | Not Tried | Was tempted for old time's sake,but I had serious business to attend to. |
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | There was also a HouseBeer-I couldn't ascertain its origin. |
