It can be difficult to find a seat at busy times although staff are often on hand to help and the price is doubled on a Sunday. If i were rating purely as a bar I would give 3/5 due to the staff being somewhat impatient at night, who seem keen to finish as soon as possible. There is little atmosphere compared to other pubs in Seaton Sluice but they do have a relatively cheap selection of lagers and soft drinks, the fairly recent introduction of ales was personally well received by myself.

Extremely helpful and courteous staff and dear god in heaven they had clean toilets. Having been a barman in London I can tell you clean loos are not high on the priority list.
