Piper, St Leonards-On-Sea Town, St. Leonards-On-Sea

I visited the Norman Arms on a recent Saturday afternoon and liked what I saw which was pleasing as the five or six other pubs that I had visited around Warrior Square were disappointing. There is a public bar to the right that houses a dartboard and a pool table that was free to play. There is also a TV that was showing the first match of the Scottish football season. The main bar area has three plasma screens that were showing Cricket and the aforementioned football match and there was a friendly crowd present. The bar is stocked with the usual draught suspects and I was served a nice half of Guinness by a friendly barmaid. There is only one hand pump in the main bar area and it was drawing Theakston XB, but the public bar has another two hand pumps that were drawing Directors and once again the Theakstons. Live music was advertised for some upcoming weekend nights, but it is not every week. I liked it in here and will visit again if I cannot be bothered to trek too far from the station.
