I was in there last night but it was quite busy so I didn't ask. I will be going along on Thurs so will see if they've got anything free for July. With the football season drawing to a close it will be easier as they normally have the games on on a Sat afternoon. I think its a canny little venue and would easily fit a couple of systems...
Beer is good (Jarrow Brewery, Rivet Catcher, Westoe IPA etc) and reasonably priced. Theres a pizza shop round the corner so we can easily order grub in.
One of these days... I'm going to cut you into little pieces.
For those planning to stay over i would recommend two places to stay. The Altonlea guest house which i am assured is excellent www.altonlea.co.uk or The Marine Hotel www.marinehotel-hartlepool.com both are very clean and serve excellent food Tariffs are on the links. There are B&B's much cheaper, please PM me for details. Some of the B&B's in Seaton cater for contractors so please be cautious as they are very basic. I have researched the better options here. The Schooner is less than a quarter of a mile from both of these establishments and well within walking distance. However, a taxi will cost very little. I would recommend the following 23 23 23 by phoning (yes you guessed it) 01429 323232. Hope this is helpful.
