Crown & Anchor
Latest Reviews
We were staying across the road from the Crown and Anchor so called in each day. We had a shared platter with drinks on the first day and returned for dinner the next night. The staff were very friendly and the food was superb, much better than the usual pub fare. It was too cold to sit outside but many people did so.

The lamb shank was SO tender and the Ale gravy delicious. Coupled with a great selection of veg and crispy roast potatoes. One of the best Sunday roasts I've ever had. I am stuffed ! Thankyou.

good beer and good food.Heaven knows when we'll ever get back to Eastbourne but we will
certainly recommend the Crown and Anchor to any friends who might be visiting the town

Pleasant Greene King pub on the seafront. Nice atmosphere and the food looked good but we 'met' the nutter in the rear patio so didn't stay. He's probably not a fixture so don't be put off.

It was very crowded in the pub when we arrived with our family, so we decided to be seated at some small tables outside. But as soon as there was a table cleared inside the staff told us. There was live music planned for that night, but even when the place was full, the staff stayed super friendly and caring. The food was just awesome, we had the Rodeo Burger which still make my mouth water when I remember it. Great place, parking might be challenge, but definitely worth to visit.

Ate here Thursday night. Huge menu. We booked....luckily as very busy. Informed of 45 minute wait which was fine as lovely staff kept us informed. Food was lovely and worth the wait!! Lovely open mike session after too, though I resisted banging out my favourite tunes !

Whilst on holiday we had a meal there , everything was spot on, tasty food ,nice friendly staff, clean toilets and plenty of choice either from the menu or the specials board, without a doubt the whole family thought it was very good and if in Eastbourne again would go straight there and not bother looking around.

This establishment produces some of the finest beer I have had the pleasure of drinking. The food was excellent although fairly basic but very good value. I would strongly recommend that you make sure you are hungry before you start as the portions are considerable. All round a very good meal.

Great service. Delicious food presented thoughtfully. Good quality real ales. Nice draught lemonade. Nothing was too much trouble for all the helpful staff. Meals were good value and good sized portions, cheerfully and proudly brought to the table

Excellent quality food, no attempts to be fancy gastro and brilliant service. Atmosphere lively and friendly, dog very happy and food reasonably priced. Glass of house white did seem pricey tho

stayed at a nearby hotel for 2 nights and ate at the pub both nights. It was a busy weekend due to airshow but managed to get a table both nights.
Had great food and there were many specials and hard to choose from.
Staff are really friendly and there were a lot of them so no need to queue too long. They bought drinks from downstairs when sitting upstairs.
Good location and atmosphere with live music.
Would definitely visit again

During the Air Show, by chance, we visited this Pub/Res. We were most impressed with the friendly staff and the service we received at such a busy time and returned later to enjoy a meal.
The Owner was very attentive and made the time to ensure that her clientele were comfortable.

We had an evening meal in this pub whilst staying in Eastbourne for the Air Show. The staff were very efficient, professional and friendly. The food was excellent, especially the homemade lasagne which was the best I have ever had when eating out. (It even came close to my sister's home made lasagne which takes some beating!!!)
Would certainly return to this pub when next in Eastbourne.

great location right next to shore view hotel and just off the seafront. my wife and i had a sunday roast each (serve from 12-9 in the evening) i had pork, my wife beef, both with all the trimmings. excellent value for money and very good quality as well, nothing frozen all home cooked.
it can get busy but there is another bar upstairs and also a balcony with seaviews from both.

Mrs Too and I walked along the beachfront to the Crown and Anchor in Eastbourne at lunchtime. The entry to this busy pub is very welcoming, with three or four tables for seafront eating/quaffing while enjoying people watching. The tap room has a vibrant ambience, and the bar is set up efficiently. The walls are decorated with little placcards expressing quaint notions such as "Beauty Is In the Eyes of the Beerholder" and "Experience Is the Name We Give To Our Mistakes". We opted for the rear party deck as somewhat quieter on a Sunday afternoon. The little patio is cozy, but the views are pretty punk from back there.
She was in the mood for a half pint, so I went to the bar to see what was available. The most agreeable barman made a suggestion and drew me a couple of inches to offer her. She liked it so well that she got her half, and Ben asked for a snake bite drawn from the same tap. Both of us were quite pleased.
Even though it was lunchtime, we ordered the roast beef Sunday dinner. We are pretty persnickety beefeaters, so perhaps it was just good luck, but we certainly did not experience any of the shortcomings voiced by other reviewers. In the U.S., roast beef most often refers to meat around the ribs in the loin. In the U.K., we find it is usually top round, and in the case of Crown and Anchor the meat was superb. Now roast beef is hardly going to be considered haute cuisine, but it is not all that easy to get it just right, which ours was. The Yorkshire pudding was enormous and piping. The accompaniments were well done. We can’t think of any way our meals could have been improved upon.

Stopped in here for an evening meal and was handled by very pleasant staff. The food was well up to the mark and we would not hesitate using it again.

Good pub near the seafront. Some seating at the front of the pub allowing you to watch the world go by. Friendly staff.
