Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Fountain
Traditional village pub with a slightly unusual veranda-style single-storey extension along the facade, and a sheltered patio seating area in front of that. Once inside the left-hand side entrance, you enter a comfortable lounge area with the fireplace, the relatively compact bar in the centre (with three small tables in the bay window) and a larger dining area off to the left (with the beer garden beyond). With two of the four handpumps in use, I found the expected Harvey's (£5.20) and Burning Sky's Plateau being served.

Four hand pumps but only two functioning and dispensing Harvey's Best and Burning Sky Plateau. The keg offering was Carling, Moretti, Heineken AF, Guinness, Neck Oil, Cruz and Thatchers cider.
There is some seating out the front. Inside a cosy venue with a fire on the left-hand wall and two appealing red leather wingback armchairs astride a small table on a red rug in front thereof. Some small square tables in the bay window in front of the bar counter, well served by some tall leather stools occupied by locals deep in conversation on my visit. The pub opens to the right-hand edge of the bar counter with some regular tables and chairs and a log burner against the right-hand wall. It is bare boarded throughout and has quiet low ceilings. Not surprisingly given the proximity to Plumpton racecourse there were a number of horse racing photos on the walls.
