Martello, Eastbourne

Named after the distinctive fortifications dotted along the coast hereabouts (although not particularly close to one as far as I can tell). This estate pub retains a three-part interior, with the lounge to the right, a sports bar on the left-hand side and a snug in the link between these in front of the servery (all with now windows). No cask ale unfortunately, so made do with a quick John Smith's (£2.25, half) from the limited keg options. Anyway, it's back open again after a period of closure, and that's the main thing.
