I have caught the train to Bexley a few times, only to jump straight into a taxi, so Inhadn not realised that it was so village like. This mocropub (ok it's bigger than micro) is located next to quite a large paved area. On a sunny Friday afternoon the large area of outdoor seating was packed (potentially shared with neighbouring businesses?). It was pretty busy inside as well. Something like 10 kegs and 2 casks. A few ticks. 5 minutes from the station. The sort of place I would love to open near me, even if it's not necessarily a destination by itself.

From Beer To Eternity certainly has an interesting location/building. It's with the boundaries of Havant Park, in old.lodge building (the park is potentially utilises what were the grounds of a now demolished stately home?). Some seating outside and the bar itself is then spread through the smaller interior rooms. The bar area itself is pretty small. Could be a bit of a scrum if busy. 12 kegs. I like a place that actually does local ticks. I had beers from newbies Portcullis plus Stream Town. They also had Staggeringly Good beers on tap. Plus a few more well known UK breweries and German and Belgian options. Well tricked fridge with an array of UK, Belgian and German brews. Friendly and helpful staff. 8 or so people sat outside and and the peope at the bar suggested there were more customers sat in other rooms. A guy wa setting up a mead tasting in the room I was sat in. I arrived at around 16:30 on a Thursday so probably got busier later. 5 minutes from Havant Station so worth dropping into.

The Chichester office is out of town so we were recommend that this garm shop was the closest place to grab lunch. I also took the opportunity to browse the beers. Initially I was underwhelmed - typical farm shop/garden centre array. The now ubiquitous Hawkstone beers plus some boring bitters from national breweries and similarly widely available ciders. However, as I headed to the tills, I spotted a table featuring cans. 6 + different Poweder Money beers in am array of styles. Pity they had no beers from smaller more local breweries.

Modern style beer bar. White tiles and dark wood. One friendly member of staff who was happy to chat about the local bar scene. One moody member of staff who could do with some training - she was rather blunt/rude to another customer. 15 kegs - 13 being Belgian. 2 UK beers - I get the impression that they always have a beer on from locals Artefact. That was one issue - the beer name was wrong . Instead of Kveik Black IPA, the board said Roasty Hoppy and I ended up accidentally adding a duplicate of a beer I'd had before. A lot of again predominantly if not entirely Belgian bottles and cans. Didn't go upstairs so don't know how many people were up there. On an early Saturday evening, 8 or so people downstairs but that includes a toddler and baby. Some outdoor seating in the forecourt which the building sits on (former stables or such like?). Decent but I wasn't after Belgian beers. Although, let's face it, I would have had some if I wasn't with the family having agreed to be back at hotel for Doctor Who, when my wife went out for dinner.
