The Six Bells at Horley has been on our calendar for ages and comes with
some notable history relative to our visits here. This is an olde-worlde
themed eatery pub at the end of a out-of-the-way narrow lane near Gatwick on
the banks of the river Mole.
One year we turned up and they had no glasses so were not able to supply
beer.
Another year we arrived to find them closed due to a suspect murder hunt so
we had to get the beer from Tesco down the road and serve it from the back
of a Rolls Royce Shooting brake.
Yet another year with again no beer, largely because the kitchen had caught
alight and and the pub had burnt down to the ground. Following year, not
finished the rebuild, and then the Covid era.
Fortunately this time the building was still there intact, the staff were
there serving, and there was beer, - but for some reason we were not allowed
to take the beer outside the pub building to the car park where all our cars
and companions were located, and were only allowed to drink it in the
building. Somebody said they had heard it was because the car park was not
part of the licensed premises?
Their car park filled with 41 of our proper vehicles, mostly with two per
car, as well as some moderns, so there were quite a few grumpy people
moaning about the beer.
So with an earlier stat time, and the weather on our side, - a lovely 'dry'
evening.
