The Old House Inn, Crawley

Quite a lot of this place maybe old, but it appears to be an amalgam of of least five buildings of different ages, plus several more recent extensions. The interior has been remodelled and refurbished in an upmarket 'country dining' style, but on a warm March day the part-gravel / part-grassed beer garden was the place to be (albeit for a couple of minutes at a time between aircraft taking off from Gatwick in an easterly direction). Now owned by Butcombe, Original and Adam Henson's Rare Breed (£5.65) were being served from a trio of handpumps.
