The Clarence, St. Leonards-On-Sea

The Clarence was dead on the Saturday night I visited a couple of weeks ago and the only other customer was engaged with the governor in a conversation about their beloved Fulham FC (bloody Cottagers!) This is a fairly basic pub with a pool table and dartboard at the rear and a plasma screen at the front that was showing baseball via Sky Sports. The bar is stocked with standard draught products and the two hand pumps were drawing Hobgoblin and Directors. I plumped for the Guinness which was well served. I though that the jukebox music was a little loud for such an empty pub but the atmosphere was friendly enough. This is a forgettable place and I wouldn’t make an effort to return.

Popped in whilst taking my brother's dog for a walk. I didn't like the vibe - it seemed the sort of place that attracted the weirdoes and the friendless. I could be wrong and I could have misjudged the place, but I didn't like it. Having said that, there's probably no better pubs within striking distance of this place.
