With 18 handpulls and 50 bottles of beer and cider to choose from, it’s understandable why The Sussex Arms has received so many positive reviews online. Plus with a ‘Beer Loyalty Card’ available and food on offer, it’s hard not to love this place.

Royal Oak rotates their selection of real ales according to season, so if you become a regular visitor you’re sure to be presented with a different fantastic selection of beer on every visit. Be sure to sample Harvey’s Sussex Best.

This quaint pub offers up some incredibly interesting beers, most crafted in small UK breweries. Be warned though, on a busy weekend it’s not unusual for this taproom to run out certain independent ales.

The establishment’s owner Charlie McVeigh created a buzz in the capital when he started selling sample size beers in the form of 1/3 pint glasses. This way, punters can sample every one of the 16 ales which are on offer. The ales are on rotation too, so there’s always something new to try.

The White Horse is hard to beat in terms of choice. With an impressive selection of 135 bottled beers and 8 cask ales to pick from, ranging from bitters like Harveys to more contemporary IPAs, I can’t think of a better way to spend an afternoon than sampling from this giant menu. Also, don’t miss out on The White Horse’s Beer Festivals which are held throughout the year.

If you fancy a modern establishment, this shabby chic-hipster joint could be up your alley. This pub serves a selection of cask ales on rotation alongside a massive selection of IPAs, Porters and Stouts.
