Harvester Sovereign Harbour, Sovereign Harbour, Eastbourne

The Sovereign Harbour is an imaginatively named Harvester salad and grill pub on the edge of Sovereign Harbour. There is lots of seating outside the front with great views of the harbour and boat loving drinkers will be in their element watching the yachts come in and out during the summer. Inside the pub the bar area is to the right of the entrance where a standard draught selection alongside San Miguel can be purchased and whilst waiting a quick game on the large funfair toy grab machine can be had. I must say that I found the barmaid on duty to be very polite and the Guinness that came in at £3.10 a pint was very good. The very large left hand side of the pub is for dining and it was very busy with pensioners and young families tucking into the rotisserie chicken when I visited this afternoon (Monday). The floor staff were not on the ball though as many people came in and stood at the ‘please wait to be seated’ sign for an uncomfortable amount of time – you know people are uncomfortable when they start looking around for Jeremy Beadle and hidden cameras whilst shuffling their feet. There are no TVs and the back music was low and nondescript. To be honest this is one of the better Harvesters that I have been to as you can purchase a decent cheap pint and sit outside watching the boats as you forget that you are in a Harvester. I wouldn’t rush back, but as with the other two drinking establishments on the harbour it has its pluses and minuses.
