London Trader, Hastings

Basic beachfront pub opposite east end of the Stade, featuring a partly opened-out interior with a pool table at one end and a side room at the other. There is very little on the way of seating in between (so convenient for the regular live music), but on even a half-decent day most of the punters will be sitting at the outside tables anyway. Slightly surprisingly, three handpumps can be found on the counter, offering Long Man Best Bitter (£3.90), Courage Directors and (of course) Harvey's.
