Now changed hands, Francis and family have gone to Spain.
New Landlady very friendly, seems as if she was not told about the pubs usual activities, so jazz not regular at the moment.
Still the same sort of choice for beers, which is a good thing, I hope it stays that way.
The only downside was the removal of the lace curtains, giving the place the look of a goldfish bowl.

Good beer, constantly changing, you get plenty of variety and types Proper old fashioned pub..
|
Good old fashioned local, couple of real ales from the smaller breweries. Definitely worth a visit if passing through. All the Newhaven pubs should be do-able easily on single day with room left for Seaford after that !
|
down to earth locals pub with a good range of 3 beers from Welton when I went in today (range changes). Pub itself nothing spectacular so it's the beers which make it worth a visit
|
Can't really improve on the last comment, a year later, still the best in Newhaven.
|
Friendly locals excellent kept ales and a warm feeling to this pub. Best pub in Newhaven by a mile.
|
Just like CAMRAMAN2 says, nice selection of unusual beers all in good condition and all at very good prices. The Dark Star Expresso was most enjoyable. The place is a bit out of the way and could do with a face-lift but was OK. The locals were all very friendly as was the lady serving.

A serious drinkers pub. Stocks 3 very well kept micro ales, plus other bottles. Also stocks a huge range of liquours, coctails and spirits - including those blasts from the past Taboo & Mirage! Also keep a big range of sweets, tobacco (including snuff!) and snacks and bottles to take away - it's a bit like a corner shop in some ways.
Seems quite intimidating at first, but safe enough I think
|
Really well kept selection of ales. Generally 3 guest ales plus Harveys best (for the customers who won't drink anything else). Free juke box, free pool on Wednesdays, friendly staff and regular live music and quiz nights. Also it's the cheapest pub in the area.
|
I hadn't been here since Harvey's sold it several years ago. It is now a free house with Harveys Best as a regular and two guests, often from Archer's and WJ King. An interesting mix of clientele makes this a pleasant place to visit, unlike most of the other pubs in the town. Perhaps its relatively isolated location on the north side of town keeps the riff raff away, or maybe the landlord and the regulars won't tolerate them. Either way, that's a big advantage.

Great friendly pub with some real characters, the quiz nights can be great fun, and the landlord is the salt of the earth. Beer is always superbly kept and the food on quiz night is treat.

Small local on outskirts of town with no beer garden, but a good sporting connection with the local community. Good beer and very friendly.
