The John Logie Baird (JD Wetherspoon), Hastings

I visited the John Logie Baird on Friday evening just before the younger crowds started to pile in and found it to be not much different to the average Spoons. Cavernous, two plasma screens showing rolling news, drinks and meal deals. I have found over the last few years that the quality of service in the average JDW has improved immensely, but the training regime seems to have bypassed the JLB as I was stood at the bar for far longer than I should have been as the barmen walked around whilst staring at their feet. The bar supports ten hand pumps, although one of them had its handle missing, and there is a large selection of standard draught. This is probably the best pub on Havelock Road, which is hardly a glowing endorsement.

I think that the previous comments have just about summed up this pub.The only good thing about it was there was a fair range of guest beers.Best to head for the old town for much better pubs than this.
