Harvey's Brown Ale? Do you mean Old? Or was the extremely rare Lewes Castle Brown Ale on? If so, it's worth every penny. I was in there on Monday and the Mild at £2.80 was in very good condition. You could easily pay a lot more for far inferior beer in many other pubs in the area.

Popped in Saturday 6/3/10 - now reopened as the Poets Corner - pool table gone in public bar, tastefully refurbished but ouch £3.40 for a pint of Harveys Brown Ale - no thanks

This pub will open as "The Poets Corner" on 5th March.
Harveys have given it a complete refit (which it needed) and a new kitchen. I'm sure this pub will go from strength to strength under new landlord Graham, who runs the superb Lord Nelson in Brighton.
Folk club is open on that night we have Reg Meuross a fine singer songwriter.

Latest news is that it has closed for refurbishment. I'm told it will reopen in the new year with a new manager and a new name. It was pretty good before so I'm hoping for the best.

After living in the area for 28 years finally gave this one a try as they were having a folk night. Wish I'de gone there years ago. Excellent pub. Harveys Sussex, Old and Armada on the pumps. Didn't eat but I gather the food is pretty good. Decent crowd and friendly staff. There was football on in the main bar but it didn't impinge on either the other bar or us oldies upstairs listening to Peter Sarstedt. Who knows - I may even try the Westbourne next!!!

It would pleased us to hear from you soon.

Visited for the Champions League semi final (ManU Milan), split into two bars; one showing the football, one not. The footballing side was absolutely packed, almost standing room only with a good atmosphere. Staff were doing their best to cope, and managed to keep polite and friendly (a real challenge!). Had a few very nice pints of 'Olympia' and Harveys was also on tap. Full of local characters/geezers. Overall, a good place to watch football if you fancy somewhere busy and lively, I would have to visit again to be able to recommend it for anything else. There are a few outdoor tables next to a relatively quiet road.

Service slow, prices far too high and attracting loud mouthed loutish individuals and a type of person I felt to be rather dubious

A fornight ago I lunched at the Eclipse and had some excellent Harvey's summmer brew 'Tom Paine' and a more than adequate sandwich. Today the 'Tom Paine' was not very good (it's at the end of this year's run anyway) and a substitute beer was offered instead. I ordered lemon sole and chips and got plaice and chips cooked in fat that tasted as if it hadn't been changed for weeks.

Good Sunday roasts and nice friendly atmosphere. Has a public bar and a lounge section. Prices are at the high end of the scale (a lager and guinness cost £6.20!) and the bar could do with a refurbishment. That said I do really like this pub.

Not tried the lunches, but I have been known to have a stab at their Sunday Night Quiz. Good laugh, good crowd, good beers.
Made to feel very welcome every time I go.

Harveys tied house. Popular with local football fans. Good lunches.
