Brewers Fayre The Windmill, St. Leonards-On-Sea

Typical Brewers Fayre, located underneath a Premier Inn, with all the charm in the numerous seating / dining areas one would expect from this combo. Doom Bar should have been on from the solitary handpump, but hadn't been tapped in time apparently, so made do with a quick Worthington's (£2.13, half).

The Windmill Tavern is part of a Premier Inn hotel so the majority of the pub, that is found to the right of the entrance, is set up for dining families and guests. The small left hand side bar area doubles up as a ‘waiting to dine’ area and comes with the token quiz and fruit machines. The barman was friendly enough and I had a decent Guinness as the solitary hand pump was off. A bit of low generic back music and a plasma screen showing muted rolling news topped off the Premier Inn experience. On a plus note there is ample outside seating, but the location next to the A21 and car showrooms/garages/Sainsburys is hardly ideal. This place is ok for guests and local dining families, but I would question the sanity of anyone living locally that goes here for a few relaxing beers.
