London & County, Eastbourne

A Wetherspoon's Lloyds No 1 Bar in the town centre close to the railway station and bus stops; it occupies the building of the former London & County Bank, later part of NatWest. The large ground floor bar has dining areas and muted news screens, there is a smaller upstairs bar and there is outside pavement seating. Seven handpumps feature regular, guest and local ales. The pub runs 'Suggest a Guest', customers may recommend or request real ale to be ordered. It also always participates in Wetherspoon's twice a year beer festivals, making the most of the more varied beer choice available at those times. 'Meet the Brewer' sessions as part of Tap Takeovers are held, the picture shows a Hurst Brewery event at the pub in March 2022. Good value food is served all day, table service is available via the Wetherspoon's App and the pub is also on the Real Ale Finder App. Music is played each evening with a DJ at weekends when a smart casual dress code applies. In 2023 the London & County reached ten consecutive years in the Good Beer Guide all under the same manager; the picture is of the presentation which marked this achievement.
