How far are you...

[The Large One]

...from your nearest Harvey's pub? http://www.harveys.org.uk/laywideharveyspubs1.htm

Failing that, how far are you from your nearest Harvey's-serving pub?



In answer to the first, I am about a 10-minute walk. (The Mitre) from home, and 10 seconds from the office (The Prince Arthur). To the second, about 150 yards (The Cleveland).

in my term home of manchester i am far from anywhere that sells harveys to my knowledge, however in my native home of hove thankfully im only a brisk 15 min walk from the dyke tavern

 

[B.M.F]

About 5 minutes from the Eclipse but the Portland serves Harveys and that is 20 seconds down the road

 

[Lokki 7]

25 mins walk from The Royal Oak, SE1
15 mins walk from The Market Porter (in fact, may well have to get down there after work tonight).

 

[Man of Harveys]

About 30 mins walk from the Market Porter while at work, about 5 mins from the fairly dingy Royal Sovereign at home. Good-quality H in there though, to be fair.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

5 minutes from The Norfolk Arms in Steyning. I shall provide a more exact timing tomorrow.

Used to be 10 minutes from The Black Horse in Rottingdean. Don't get me started on that.

Ah the Mitre, Baker Street... Landlady is a bit of a gambler, always picks the grey horses and never follows my tips, I can't blame her... Often get a free pint in there.

I work in Lewes so am only 10mins walk from the actual brewery!

At home I have to walk for at least 15mins to find a place that stocks the stuff. Fortunately in Newhaven all the pubs serve it

Just realised The Heath in HH does it, I've never tried Harvey's but might have to when I get home!

 

[Trufflehound]

263.19 miles according to MapQuest. Hold on, I'll be there in 5 hours and 44 minutes, apparently. Er, except that i don't have a car...

And the nearest one would be the bloody Cryst*l Pal*ce in Tunbridge Wells wouldn't it...

 

[Rangdo]

A long long way thank god.

A long long way thank god.

Oi!

You're talking about the beer I love. Show some f***ing respect, man.

You'll become a finer, more-rounded, worldly-wise person as a result. We are with you all the way.

The idea of going to the Black Horse but them not doing Harveys is just plain weird. Like visiting a house you used to live in, not the same any more.

work: 3 minutes - The Ship

home: 5 minutes - The Marine

Hours.

I'm disturbed that a Harveys is served in a pub called the Crystal Palace.

I'm many many miles away from Harveys at the moment, but will be much nearer after moving to London at the weekend.

Also my nearest Harveys pub, at 3 minutes walk from my house.

 

[Bluejuice]

Just 2 minutes round the corner to the Rock which serves a nice drop, but I think my nearest Harveys owned pub is the Lord Nelson. We are shockingly poorly provided for in East Brighton

 

[West Hoathly Seagull]

Work - The Barley Mow on Horseferry Road (3 minutes walk), though Harvey's is not always available on tap there.

Home - The Dunnings Mill on Dunnings Road, East Grinstead, unfortunately now turned into a rather soulless theme restaurant pub and yes, it's owned by Harvey's. Otherwise the Dunnings Mill Snooker Club next door. I used to be a member when I was a taxi driver (dive in there when you'd turned your radio off), but I never seem to have the time to go there now.

Best pint of Harvey's I have ever had was at the Halfway House on the A26 near Isfield, as it came straight from the barrel behind the bar. A little bit of useless information - Piers Morgan's (ex-Daily Mirror editor) was the chef there the last time I went back in 2000.
