| Nice enough small bar at the front with a more food orientated conservatory to the rear and a garden beyond that. Friendly enough 'off the main road local' though there wasa a limited 'mainstream' offering on the ale front and the Black Sheep wasn't particularly nice. Snarling_Mallard - 5 Nov 2011 23:25 |
| Not the easiest of pubs to find but well worth the search. A mellow perhaps bohemian feel to the place. The service is prompt and friendly as are most of the regulars who tend to congregate around the end of the bar just inside the door. The pub goes further back than expected and there is a small garden too. There's usually a fair selection of real ales on, often from breweries not often seen in the area. outtamehead - 21 Aug 2011 01:15 |
| 8 years after I last got here, fortunately nothing much has changed. It still feels like a mellow, relaxed frontroom beerhouse, like those common in Victorian times. The rear is basically a long corridor, well-lit by the glass roof reminiscent of a greenhouse. A jolly welcome was given by the barman, who was chatting with some old gents who looked very at home. Beer-wise, not perhaps the most exhilarating choice, but still acceptable; perhaps we didn't hit it at its peak as it's currently GBG-listed. My Black Sheep Golden Sheep went down refreshingly, albeit hardly a 'locale'. Still a nice vibe here and I think I'll be able to return maybe years from now and it should still be the same.

| Visited over the weekend again. A treat in store, with the Jaipur IPA, which is normally never seen in the South. This was a superb bitter and at 5.9%, strong for a modern IPA. Specially arranged by the Manager for a particularly demanding customer, I hear! TT Landlord, Wherry, Harveys, GK IPA made up the selection and all were in fine fettle.

| Another visit or 3 over the weekend. A choice from 8 different beers between Friday and Monday and all of them absolutely spot on! Woodfordes Wherry, TT Landlord, Harveys Sussex, Gadds No. 3, Rudgate Ruby Mild, GK IPA, Skinners Betty Stogs and at least one more that I forgot (understandably!) as well as the Biddendens cider. PLUS the list is now available for their Annual May BEER FESTIVAL, from this Thursday through all the BH weekend. Music, food weather permitting it seems and beers - a great selection by the looks of it. SORTED! TonyMitch - 23 May 2011 22:04 |
