Latest Reviews
I visited here last year as was very impressed. Well, I'm back on the coast again to watch the Airshow and had another great meal here.
The pub itself is just across from the seafront and stocks a few ales from the greene king selection, as well as a guest ale. I had the IPA which was great. You can tell that the pub looks after it's ales.
For dinner I had the lamb shank and my wife had cod and chips. The food is served quickly and you can tell they care about the food as much as the ales. Great selection of veg, good quality meat and a large portion! My wife's fish was of the same quality- tasty batter and good portion. The service was excellent and the barmaids were working away happily.
All in all a nice place to be.

Excellent. The real ale was great, Old Trip. The food was tasty, I had fish and chips, the fish batter was excellent and the portions were huge,but very well priced. The bar staff were friendly.

The landlady has done a reasonable job since taking over a couple of years ago in turning this place around. However, in the past couple of months the place seems to be falling apart. The performance of some of the bar staff in the last few times I visited is well below par - I think that perhaps some of the reviews on this site have gone to their heads. The newcomers behind the bar (in the main) should never have been employed, or should at least have been better trained, and the others that have been in situ for some time need to up their game if they do not wish new customers to take the same view as myself. Complacency is the kiss of death!

Great selection of food available, drink and food good value. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Great for an afternoon beer or an evening out. Entertainment on most nights as well. Only criticism is not enough outside space...Get there early!!

This is a great pub. We had our little dog with us so it was good to find somewhere that took dogs. We didn't eat there although the food looked good. Staff were really friendly. The entertainment in the evening was good too. We will definitely go back.

My family and I recently spent a weekend in Eastbourne and came across the Crown & Anchor directly next to our hotel. We had our dog with us so were delighted to find a dog friendly pub so close by on the seafront. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced and it was great to be able to have restaurant food as well as be able to take the pooch along without having to shut him in the room. There was entertainment every night and the staff were friendly and welcoming, we felt like locals by the time we left. Eastbourne and the Crown and Anchor has restored our faith in the Great British seaside and we will definitely be returning. Thanks to all the C&A staff :) x

We did not eat in here we went in to watch the rugby as our hotel was not showing it and as it was on early don't think they where serving food. Although we went back in the evening for a drink on the way to cosmo for dinner and saw people eating and wished we had of gone there to eat as well

I visited here on our holiday to Eastbourne. The drinks are reasonably priced for a sea front pub and the food's okay. I'd visit again.

Went here recently with friends to see a ska band and thought we would grab a meal as well. Every person in our group of seven said it was one of the best meals they had in a pub for value and taste. The band were brilliant as well and no waiting for drinks at the very busy bar due to lots of dancing staff !

Great Jazz played by a local band. Good crowd.
Food is okay but beer selection is very limited. The service is good.

This is my latest visit to this wonderful establishment on Eastbourne seafront and I felt it was a nice evening to be there.
The licensee and staff were very professional in the way they did their jobs and helped make the atmosphere a truly marvellous one.
The karaoke was also a fabulous feature in the pub on that magical evening.
I will definitely return to this pub again in the near future.

There were 21 of us heading to the Crown after a 3 hour walk up Beachy Head. They sweetly were happy to seat us and feed us even after the kitchen technically stopped serving lunch at 3pm, we got there at 4pm.
The food was very hearty and tasty - just what was needed!The staff couldn't have been more accommodating.
Thank you very much for taking such good care of a bunch of tired walkers!

Some of the best traditional British food I've had in a long time. Great ale served at the perfect temperature. Live music (visited on a Saturday) made for a fantastic night down the pub.

Popped in here for a quick drink early one afternoon......and didn't leave until nr closing time. Heidi and her staff were very friendly. It happened to be Heidi's birthday so it was like a party all afternoon and night. The food looked good and very reasonably priced.
Karaoke was on in the evening and everyone got involved and made it a very very enjoyable day.

Had lunch here on saturday and it was just what we needed. It was freezing cold outside and we wanted something hot and thats what we got. I had chilli con carne with rice and chips which came with garlic bread, and it was very tasty and piping hot. Mum had lamb of lamb with all the trimmings, very nice and lots of it. Friend had pork and said it was lovely. Well worth a visit and very reasonable. Ok menu but huge daily specials board. Will be back next time i'm in eastbourne

This bar near the Sea Beech House Hotel was about the only place in Eastbourne with any atmosphere on the Saturday night in March when we visited. Very friendly staff, very reasonably priced wide range of drinks and and excellent band. It's a shame we decided to venture elsewhere only to find we should have stayed put. They regularly have live music and well worth a visit
