Make Make

You'll find Make Make tucked away on Hayling Island, a proper craft brewery that takes itself seriously without being precious about it. The space buzzes on Friday and Saturday evenings when the taps are flowing, and Sunday afternoons draw a solid local crowd who clearly know what they're after.

What you get is straightforward - this is a working brewery where you can actually watch the brewing process, grab a pint of their own stuff, and chat with people who know the product inside out. The beers change seasonally, which means repeat visits actually have a point. It's the kind of place where you end up talking to strangers and realising they live three streets over.

Historically minded types won't find much here, but anyone who cares about proper ale will. Families with kids might struggle - it's firmly an adult space, and the Friday-Saturday evening slot gets busy. Best bet is a Sunday afternoon visit if you've got little ones, though frankly they'll be bored within twenty minutes.

Fridays and Saturdays from 3pm until 10pm, Sundays noon to 6pm. Worth the drive from Fishery Creek Touring Park - it's only four miles away, so a gentle evening out without the long haul. Go in without expectations of food or fancy cocktails. You're there for the beer and the company. On a decent evening, that's genuinely enough.
