During our stay in Eastbourne we were so pleased to discover this pub! The food was absolutely gorgeous, they catered for my gluten free diet and made a fuss of our dog, which she loved!! We definitely recommend this place.

This was a lovely seafront pub for a pint and a meal after a long day of traveling. When a mistake was made with our order (our own fault), the staff were extremely accommodating, wanting to make our experience as pleasant and satisfying as possible. It really made our evening a lovely one, and we plan to go back!

All round fantastic pub: friendly staff, great atmosphere, entertainment every weekend. Felt like our “local” during our two night stay in Eastbourne. We also visited for Sunday dinner before heading home and it was amazing; good quality, plenty of it, and delicious. Would definitely return here when next in Eastbourne.

Just had a very lovely meal in this great Pub.
As from Germany I’m not used to such a great selection of vegan varieties. Just amazing. The Burger was just as it has to be. And my husband was more than satisfied with his sausages and mash. Fantastic Service as well. We’ll come back as soon as we’ll be able to!

Fantastic!!!! This is the first review I have ever written but felt compelled because the service was so great! We were a large family aged from 3 to 98 with a variety of allergies and dogs, so not an easy bunch but the staff were amazing from start to finish. The table was laid beautifully for when we arrived with a special touch of a happy 98 birthday chalk board, the waitresses were knowledgeable, friendly and super helpful, the food was delicious and great portions. It was a really fab all round experience and even the dogs were looked after, so a huge thank you to all staff for making my Nans birthday so special! Highly recommend for all! Xxx

Welcoming staff who couldn’t do enough for us, as a party of nine we were seated very swiftly despite the establishment being very busy.
Extensive menu which without exception, our choices were generous and extremely tasty. Recommend the lamb shank served with a selection of fresh veg, the steak and ale pie was divine. Our party dined here twice out of our three night stayVery impressive would certainly come again.
Thank you team at the Crown and Anchor

Popped in for drinks with friends. A very busy, lively pub with live music and plenty of "Dead Man's Fingers" shots. A definite, if you enjoy a lively atmosphere.

This place was recommended by people we met on the Pier as we had been lamenting the lack of gluten free food in the area. They said it was very popular and we may not be able to get a table. We went early, before 5pm and did manage to get a table. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. To our surprise there was an actual menu with lots of choice for starters, mains and even more amazing desserts (it’s usually a brownie or ice cream). After having had to go through a laborious list of allergens last night this was such a relief. I felt normal for once! The food was wonderful. I managed most of my two courses. My sister struggled, but was given a doggy bag to take back to our hotel. Not being outdone, I ordered two desserts for us to take away. I am so impressed that I would definitely come back next time I come to Eastbourne. We may even try The Alexander Arms (sister restaurant) next time as well! 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What an enjoyable evening!

After being recommended. We visited The Crown and Anchor on 2/07/2022 at 17.00hrs.
The pub was quite busy but we managed to find a table. The waitress was very helpful and kind, We were handed our menus.
My sister and I are both coeliac and what a joy it was to have a gluten free menu.We could order straight from the menu without worrying.
The food was very tasty and well presented what a Joy!! All staff very pleasant. Will definitely be going there again soon

They were extremely busy and in fairness although asked could only accommodate us at the correct booking time (arrived and asked for earlier). We were warned that due to the business, food orders would take approx 45 minutes delay but starters would be earlier. However our starters did not emerge until 20:45. The food was quite good and very reasonably priced. However as previously experienced with is chain, do not go to when they are busy as you will experience long delays. Although we arrived early, we were not allowed to place our order thereby bypassing the delay from actual booking time. Poor Poor service.

I recently visited as part of a large group. Everyone was pleased with all three courses, the quality was excellent. Staff were efficient and pleasant, nothing was too much trouble for them. They fed us all in a short time,on 2 separate occasions. Be warned ,they do not stint on the portions, you will need to loosen your belt.
