The best way here is by train to Ford then a quick trot along Station Road to the pub.

Crowds turned up here: Laurie Dooley, Steve Hill, Dave Taylor, Heather Lawn, Chris Ray, Peter Lunn, Stephen Cox and Pete Luff, who excused himself for a walk along the riverbank.

Scorchio! was the forecast, and it was.

Choice here was Timothy Taylor Landlord, Harvey's Sussex Best, Hog's Back TEA and Hog's Back Surrey Nirvana.

S&A had a peculiar serving system; one member of staff would start the pour and charge for it, while Philip the landlord would finish the pour. but the Harvey's Sussex Best was Good on the NBSS, so what did it matter?
