A large town centre Harveys pub, this is far removed from their usual type of outlet – it’s very modern and barn-like and caters for a transient crowd. Our visit found it serving the full Harveys range, my Lewes Brown ale was in pretty good shape. Thatchers cider was also available alongside the usual keg stuff. The interior is a large single room with a long bar running down the right hand side, rather run down with crappy beaten furnishings though the nice skylight at the rear gives things a boost. There’s a small amount of seating outside on the pedestrianised street. Pictures of obese locals getting plastered on posters advertising the weekends revelries regale you on your trip to the traps, which makes me think I wouldn’t want to get stuck in here after 7pm on a Friday or Saturday night.

The best way to describe this is that it's a Harveys version of down-market Wetherspoons; handy for where it is but I wouldn’t want to make a beeline for it.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Terminus

Rather more modern than most Harvey's houses, but definitely still a pub rather than a bar (like the dubious-looking BN21 next door). Not much atmosphere when I visited early-ish Sunday lunchtime, but there was a good choice of the Lewes beers (including a Dark Mild on good form).

One of the better pubs of Eastbourne with a large single bar and and area at the back for eating.also has a small side drinking area.The rails shown in the pic were found in the wall when the pub went through a refurbishment by Harveys and are believed to be from the original Eastbourne rail terminus. A range of Harveys beers on offer.

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.

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.
