The Sea Horse, Parkstone, Poole

A rather ghastly Harvester, 1970s estate-style, which shares a small commercial complex with a garage and a supermarket, just off the main road. The pub’s own car park is cramped, but there is plenty of space in the shared parking area. There is a tiny outside smoking terrace offering fine views of the garage and litter. To get into the single large carpeted bar/dining area you have to push through an amorphous queue of dithering idiots, then you need find somewhere to sit; drinking at the bar is a non-starter. It is dark inside, too dark for comfort, and it is dog-hostile, unruly-child-friendly. The only thing resembling ale was pressurised Speckled Hen, much too cold and rather unenjoyable. This pub represents poor value for money and is not worth seeking out.
