Nice pub in the daytime great staff so much so we returned in the evening oh dear me there was a reggae group that arrived about 7.30 pm and proceeded to bring in equipment with total disruption and inconvenience to the patrons there was 2 women and 4 or 5 men climbing over chairs and tables with dirty shoes , a couple of their children roaming around whilst they disrupted the whole pub one of the males said I need to put this flag up can you move! The whole pub became a total breech of health and safety and totally unfit for purpose,can anyone comment on this...MANAGER? Would welcome your comments. Also ladies toilets were very dark and dingy with a couple of withered, unkept looking soap bars scattered on the sinks a feeble hand dryer could be improved with better lighting and a maintained soap pump and dryer.

A nice building from the outside, with seating on the main parade near the screams from the amusement park.
The inside is mainly given over to entertainment areas, a music area & pool area. Nothing much more inside to describe! 2 real ales - Speckled Hen & Courage Best Bitter - thre quality of which was very average despite its listing in the Good Beer Guide.

This is a small old fashioned seafront hotel that is GBG 2014 listed.
It consists of an open plan lounge with what looked like a stage area for live music by the windows and a raised area to the left of the bar with a pool table. At the front there are pavement tables and chairs and there is a beer garden of sorts at the rear.
There were only two beers being served on a fairly dismal May Thursday afternoon. These were Courage Best and Fuller's ESB. I went for the ESB (£3.30) which was completely lacking condition but OK apart from that.
I took solace in the fact that I'm not a northerner and that it was almost certainly cheaper than a London Fuller's tied house.
I was expecting a better beer choice than this so overall I was rather disappointed.
