The Cinque Ports, Seaford

Traditional high street pub, with a L-shaped layout with the games area back left beyond the fireplace. Refurbished at some stage, but still has something of well-worn look. With four of the five handpumps in use, I found Courage Directors and the much-more-local Long Blonde from Long Man and a pair of Harvey's beers: Sussex and an excellent Old Ale (£5.20).

Again following Steve C’s review here of yesteryear. Small pub, likewise proportionately to size the busiest of the venues visited here in Seaford this evening. I suspect it has a decent local following and a nice venue to spend some time in. All the action is in the small front part of the pub, there is a small raised area behind the bar that just about houses a pool table. In terms of quaffs, still 5 operational hand pumps dispensing two from Harvey’s (Best and Armada), rarely seen (in my experience these days in my habitats) Directors, Long Man Long Blond and Youngs Original. I plumped for the latter as curious to sample in a non-Youngs pub and it was perfectly well kept here. Food here is not now cheap pizzas but a well regarded Thai kitchen. Seaford is not well endowed with places to eat so might well return here to eat next time I am in Seaford with my better half.
