I had a little look at the reviews by some of my respected colleagues before posting, some of them written at the time of my own visit in 2018 - though I'd been here before with some of my Luton Town mates when we had a game at Withdean athletics track, which was Brighton & Hove Albion's ground. Sorry, John - it's still a Shep's pub, but you'll be pleased to know the Bishop's Finger was in good shape (NBSS 3.5). I noticed the flock wallpaper above the wood panelling before reading Ray's enthusiastic description - there's now navy on an off-white background. Hope you'll approve. I quite like it, and I was happy to be here remembering old friends. Worth another visit? I reckon so.

This pub was good but any pub selling Sheps beers is not going to impress me too much.I went for the Yardman -stout but it was a bit too thin for a stout.

Another of the many pubs hidden in the lanes, this one certainly had a bit of character about it and purports to be the oldest licenced premises in the original lanes dating from about 1864 when it opened as the True Briton as mentioned below. It seemed a pub of two halves with the right hand side for drinking and the flock wallpaper room space on the left much more focussed on food.
The Shep Neame beers available were Bishops Finger, Early Bird, Master Brew and Spitfire and were complemented by the Laine’s Doubloon and Yardsman Chocolate Mocha Stout. The Stout was very good but will agree it did qualify as one of the more expensive beers of the day.
Well I suppose that’s the Lanes District tax for you, but I did feel comfortable in this pub and would return.
