The Seahorse, New Romney

We visited this great pub, by accident and what a surprise - the food was amazing and the beer battered cod could not have been fresher - it was brought in whilst we were ordering. They have guest ales from small brewers, bands on Saturdays and it is right on the beach. What a little gem!

The Seahorse is a pleasant seaside pub with two bars, the one at the rear having a good view out across the Channel. The bar walls have an unusual clinker style of cladding, while the floors are a mixture of carpets and tiles. Despite its location, it caters mainly for locals - there are unobtrusive gaming machines, low lighting and a tv showing the major channels. All this, combined with welcoming attitude from the barman,the pub dog and the locals, make it feel very homely. Only one ale on, London Pride, which was in decent condition but not very special. The best of Greatstone's pubs and worth dropping in if passing.
