The Terminus, Eastbourne

Good range of Harveys, as expected at this brewey held pub located on the main shopping street. Plasma (no sound) opposite bar showed the racing ystdy but we sat outside is if en francais, even if some of the passers-by lacked a little parisien chique. Heard this place had a £1.5m(!) re-fit, looked ok but what exactly could have cost all that? Visited 15:00 so cannot comment on aforementioned lighting effects (although I doubt they'd be to my taste). Varying mix of clientele, not unlike that which you may expect at a (railway) terminus bar.

now Bill’s Cafe and restaurant

This place suffers with a lack of atmosphere due to the transient nature of the high street pub, but it makes up for it in the standard and choice, eight I seem to recall, of the Harveys ales available. I’ve never tried the food, but I have sat on the seating out the front on the pedestrianised high street on a nice summers day. I wouldn’t go out of my way to drink here again, but it is very handy for a stop off whilst being dragged around the shops.
