Pretty basic and sparse bar which has had some ill-advised COVID-lockdown grey gloop on the wood panelling. Off to the side is a restaurant with sea views plus a terrace (plastic glasses only) which was mildly pleasant with a nice view across the Channel. Dogs allowed and a pool table available. Surprised to see three cask on from some less obvious breweries. My first one spluttered and died but the friendly mature barmaid guided me to the Butcombe Original which she had put on yesterday and it was a pretty decent pint (NBSS 3). The wait for the beer was enlivened by the inexplicable arrival of one of Joy Division’s more austere tracks on the stereo, which the barmaid vocally decided to bin-off (probably wisely, despite me actually liking said track). Also got a cheery ‘goodbye!’ from the bar on departure. Worth a drop-in if you've made the effort to look at the nearby old Birnbeck pier and gardens. It’s by no means perfect but it’s a friendly local making an effort, even if Stevie Wonder should have been kept away from the paintbrush.
