Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Kings Head

Plain-looking pub above ground-floor level, so not obvious or appealing, and the somewhat dated interior isn't going to win any prizes either. Having said that, the lounge area at the right-hand end of the L-shaped interior is a bit more comfortable, and it has a pool table and various events (including Elvis on Sunday, apparently...). It also sells Greene King beers, but there is a bit of a surprise there - no IPA, but an excellent pint of Old Speckled Hen (£3.80), Abbot and unexpectedly Abbot Reserve (with a reversed clip for the seasonal Fireside too, so they do mix things up).

Actually my view is that this place has massively improved since Steve’s review. It still is the same physical place, quite busy with locals on my late evening visit. Pool table in demand and dual dartboards present but not utilised on the evening.

Where I suspect is massive improvement is in the beer choice. Six hand pumps but only three dispensing tonight but it didn’t look like some other venues on the evening it was anything other than temporary. The three on were an enjoyable spring ale called Spring Break, Old Speckled Hen and Summer Lightning. I am enormously partial to the latter, it is a beer that has defined my entire quaffing existence from first drinking it in JDW venues in North London in the early 90’s.

This place raised my spirits as a last port of call on my way back to Seaford station on a weather shitty evening. It was lively, the bar staff were lovely, it had decent beer choices, what’s not to like. Not quite the stellar level of the Old Boot but if I had been in a better mood, I would have rated that and this up a notch.

Strongers . left this review about The Bay Tree Inn

The Bay Tree Inn is a long thin pub with seating to the right hand side of the bar and a pool table, table football and dartboard to the left. There was some low music playing in the background and some advertisements were up on the walls giving details of live music nights. I counted five hand pumps on the bar and two of these were unused leaving Bombardier, Harveys Best and Otter Bright. There is also a standard draught selection, but I found the Guinness to be barely drinkable and if I had ordered a pint I would have returned it. A few locals and their kids were in attendance during my visit on Monday afternoon and I got the feeling that there must be a housing estate nearby. The beer garden out the back didn’t look very inviting and it certainly hasn’t had any attention for a while.

To be honest I thought that this place seemed like a pub in decline. Maybe it gets better and busier at the weekends, but I do not plan to revisit as there are far better pubs in the area.
