An excellent addition to Haywards Heath's meagre pub scene. I found 3 keenly priced cask ales (£4.40 / £4.60) as well as 8 kegs starting at just (!) £5.30. 2 of the casks were from Sussex (360 and Cloak & Dagger - their Komodo Bozo is more usually seen on keg), the 3rd from Twisted Wheel of Coventry. The kegs are dominated by nearby Bestens who have an interest in this venture.
As already described, internally it's a simple enough room with plentiful tables, albeit with some reservations already in place. Cool, indie-influenced music was playing at moderate volume through the speakers. Friendly service added to the charm and the pub was slowly filling soon after opening.
Good place that I'd happily return to.

The Tap is a micro with benches down the left hand wall and tables and chairs down the right. At the rear is a bar that supports four handpumps, three of which were in operation. Unbarred Morale IPA, 360 Bluebell and Brighton Bier South Coast IPA were the cask ale options during a recent Saturday visit. Eight craft keg beers were also available, as well as cans from a fridge adjacent to the bar. Friendly service and certainly worth a look.
