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

Spent the afternoon in here, lovely atmosphere with nice staff. Very comfortable and very popular, have learnt never to judge by outside appearances.

Dropped-in for a quick drink on a cold January late afternoon. lovely warm spiced cider, comfy seating. Pub was welcoming and full of character (and a few local characters!). Menu looked good, and reasonably priced. Unfortunately we weren't able to stay for a meal.

We came here for a Christmas party for our roller derby team. Our party consisted of 25-30 people who are a mix of omnivores, veggies and vegans. The food provided was fantastic, the veggies and vegans were having to defend their food from the meat eaters as it was so good. Heidi and her staff were brilliant, really took care of us and we followed our meal with dancing and karaoke late into the night. Definitely going to become our regular party palace! Can't recommend enough :)

The Crown and Anchor did my roller derby team's Christmas party, and have hosted us for other functions, and their hosting is great. They put us on an amazing spread for a reasonable price, catering for a range of dietary requirements and there was a great atmosphere for karaoke afterwards.
I'd highly recommend it, particularly for their delicious food!

Having booked for a trip, was pleased to find this quaint pub close to our hotel. Beer very good, atmosphere friendly. Was delighted that they had tv events to watch.

I travel to Eastbourne twice a. Month and always visit here. Food is really nice and the beer is good.
They have a tendency to employ really attractive bar staff! Can be really pleasing on the eye.

We have just been to Eastbourne for the weekend and stayed in a hotel next to the pub. We spent Friday night enjoying a swing band and having a lovely meal and a thoroughly fab evening thanks to the great staff who make you feel really welcome. We shopped Saturday but made time to go back there for lunch and then again in the evening for dinner and again and enjoyed a cover band from the eighties. I also have to mention a lady called Philomena. It was her birthday and she was a joy to watch on the dancefloor in the evening in her "onesie" laughing her head off which in turn made us laugh. It all made for a great evening. Well done to all the lovely staff.
Love Helen and Martin

Held a party in the upstairs function room, great sized bar area, perfect layout, all but everyone commented on the quality and size of the buffet, the staff were friendly and accommodating, could not have asked for a single thing to be better. Returned on mass for a lovely breakfast the morning after. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thankyou Heidi and all your lovely staff.
