The Greyhound, Hassocks

Traditional village pub, Grade II listed but most of the heritage features inside date from a 1930s refurbishment. Main bar counter in the centre, with a small side room to the left featuring the dartboard, a larger dining room on the right-hand side behind the fireplace and a couple more tables on the widened corridor leading up the rear beer garden. Two Harvey's beers on the three handpumps: Sussex and Old (£5.80), thankfully pulling through, as the other taps were all temporarily off due to a gas problem.

Traditional pub in the village of Keymer. I arrived shortly after its 4pm opening on a Tuesday (the pub is closed on Mondays) and was just pipped by a local who adopted what is probably his usual position on a stool at the corner of the bar. There are a number of little nooks and crannies inside and there is a small garden area to the rear. Food is served in the evening. Harvey's Sussex Best Bitter is the solitary real ale.
