This is simply the best pub in Horsham and a must visit if in the area. It's more Keg than Cask, but there's usually a reasonable amount of both. Sometimes it's a definite 10/10, other times the beer selection can be a bit samey, i.e. four or five IPA's. And it's not cheap. But other than that, it's pretty much perfect.

This is the pub to drink in when in Horsham if you like beer in all it's forms.It's run by the same people who own the Malt Shovel and is free of tie.The exterior is very traditional and good looking,while the small interior has fewer features save for a very large and ornate Anchor Tap mirror.It has an ale house vibe,with a wooden floor,room for vertical drinking,shelves and high stools to pitch down on and a small rear seating area.Pride of place is the large beer menu on a sidewall showing the extend of the beer choices.On my Friday lunchtime visit that meant real ale options of Marble Uppe Hela Natten (NBSS 4.5),Fallen Acorn Lady Marmalade and Firebird Azzaca with 13 keg beers and two sparkling ciders.The keg choice rotates and included two Budvar lagers,a Beak kolsch,3 pales,two strong IPA's and exotic sounding Siren Castilian Lemon & Honey Cheesecake Sour ,Beaks Coconut Porter and a Fallen Acorn 7% Frose.Needless to say there are a lot of high ABV options and some helpful tasting notes,also excellent beer knowledge behind the bar and tasters offered.
This is an absolute must visit but time your entry as it can get crowded at peak times.An emporium of beer in all its styles,you can spend a long time in here educating your tastebuds .Terrific,with one of the best craft keg offerings in the country.

Quite a small pub with a main room with the bar area at the front and a small room with extra seating to the rear. Four cask beers and a further ten craft keg beers all displayed on a board on the wall to the side of the bar. It's certainly one of the better pubs for beer choice in the town.
