Mid afternoon we were the only customers. Not quite sure about Harvey's new luminous light blue exterior decals thankfully the interior doesn't reflect this style.

Evening. Seems a jaded pub to me. Rear bar had food smells, front bar was dominated by people shouting and whistling so stay was short and rather uncomfortable

Lunch time visit, a group of about a dozen ladies took an amazingly long time ordering their drinks and then their food orders started so I did not wait for the chance of a second pint. My brand new Harveys pen that I had just purchased from the brewery shop decided to stop writing so I did not make a list of all the beers on offer.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harvey's - Porter | 4.80 | | Delicious dry biscuity porter. |
| Harvey's - County Town Beers Scotch Ale | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Harvey's - County Town Beers Oat Malt Stout | 4.50 | Not Tried |

It was an ok Harvey's pub, but what let it down I suppose was the quality of the beer.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 |  | Expect more from a Harvey's pub just round the corner from the brewery |
| Harvey's - Copperwheat Beer | 4.80 | Not Tried |
