| Found my way in here because of a long flight delay at Gatwick. Was very lucky as it was also the start of one of their beer weekends. The regular beers are Harvey's Best and Hophead, they also had Arundel Sussex Mild, Dark Star Over The Moon, Tanglefoot and Burton Bridge XL Mild. I had the Sussex Mild which was ok but not great. The landlord said he was ready to let me try some of the festival beers, there were 10 out of 12 on gravity and I think the other two were going to be put on the pump. George Wright Pipe Dream was a wonderful golden beer, Howard Town Wren's Nest not as good but got better as it went down. Sarah Hughes Ruby Mild was as flavoursome as ever. The rest of the beers on the list weren't necessarily that unusual (Summer L, JHB, Umbel Magna, Pale Rider but also Orkney Red MacGregor, Burton Bridge Porter etc) but it was a good range. Despite trying the landlord wouldn't take any cash from me for my three halves as I seemed to get designated official taster. Had the Burma chicken curry which was also very good. This is a real locals pub but not one where you feel excluded. Fantastic. GuideDogSaint - 20 May 2008 19:08 |
| Large local pub whose landlord apparently drinks lager but realises the importance of a wide client base (and I'm not referring to their waistlines!) so puts on several ales as well. Moorhouse Pride of Pendle last night as well as Dark Star Hophead. rainlight - 26 Apr 2008 09:11 |
| Big old open-plan pub with very high ceilings. The front bar area is a bit like drinking in a huge barn but there is a tucked away area around the side of the pub. Six ales including Harveys, Dark Star & Lodden. Sadly the quality was a let-down for a current camra pub of the year, the Ferrymans Gold was tired & the Hophead had turned & was undrinkable. The prices are incredibly cheap for both food & post-budget drinks. I hope we caught the beer on a bad day & would like to give it another go on a "meet the brewer" evening if more are planned. young_camra_collectiv - 20 Apr 2008 23:08 |
| This pub iritates me due to the constant need to ask for a top up , after the third request my pint is at least 8% less than a full pint. slerpy - 14 Mar 2008 21:06 |
| Ray the Landlord had a great night with beer festival a couple of weeks ago. As a complete novice I was delighted to be able to try lots of different types of beer in the 1/3 pint glasses, there were lots of new faces just for the beer. It's great to find this in the local area. Well done and keep it up hyde - 7 Feb 2008 17:38 |
