The Joiners Arms, Shoreditch

Obnoxious people, horrible place, horrible night, hopefully wont go back. I've never been in a room ful of more pretentious, rude and obnoxious people who have an air of self-importance. Gay men, yeah, with their squeeky clean straight fag hags who push you about coz they think they are so fabulous. Seriously don't go here unless you are a complete luvvie who thinks you are "real" just coz you are wearing a second hand checked shirt with your Armani bag and gucci trainers or pink hair. On a Saturday night expect to spend the whole night being pushed about, queing up either for the toilet or bar and expect everyone to push in front of you and "pretend" they didn't see you coz they are oh so more important than you.

The Beachy Head, Eastbourne

I agree with an earlier review - the phenomenally hard working and young staff are rushed off their feet, but with only two behind the bar the waits for drinks were long...after I'd waited about 20 minutes someone was served before me as soon as he came to the bar, i deigned to point out this was unfair only to have a sultry cock-sure bar girl laugh at me and say "but he's my Dad" - not a friendly place at all, no atmosphere, the staff seemed unhappy and miserable, reminded me of a Weatherspoons...having said that the sunday lunch was good and reasonably priced.
