The Marine, Eastbourne

We went into this pub on the 16th October 2010, looked good from the outside, not too bad inside, it closes at 2.30pm and opens up again at 6pm which isn't a bad thing, as pubs are not what they used to be. we bought a pint of kronenbourg and another lager and it came to �7.00 which I thought was disgusting, we went to sit outside as we are smokers, nice garden area but when we tasted the beer it was lousy, The Carlsburg had more taste to it than the Kronenbourg, because the kronenbourg tasted watery with no taste, there wasn't very many people in the pub, but the landlord was reasonably friendly as I made a joke about the steps. I think this is a really overpriced pub, trying to make a living in the times it opens.

The Kings Arms, Eastbourne

We visited this pub over the weekend and found it very friendly, and down to earth which I think is missing in a lot of pubs today, Tracy (the Landlady) was extremely friendly and very hard working, kept a very clean bar and acknowledges all her customers and knows who and when arrive she works like a trojan. Customers were also very friendly and wasn't deterred by the fact we were complete strangers, it is a working persons pub and we had an excellent time, there are two tv's one in the bar and the other through another room, which we commandeered to watch the horseracing. I give our thanks to Tracy for running such a brilliant pub with superb bar snacks.
