Not bad - clean and observing COVID precautions. Dog friendly. Mix of customers. We only had a drink but the food looked good.

The greeting from the manager at this establishment was wonderful. Professional and courteous.
The service from all the staff was excellent. Exceptionally well managed restaurant; this made the experience so much relaxed and comfortable than some places.
The staff were conscientious, attentive and extremely pleasant.We felt we had to comment on this at the time as it very pleasing.
The food was also outstanding and good value. Highly recommended.

Excellent service and was made to feel so welcome! The manager Ollie bent over backwards for us and the food was of a great quality and home made. FAULTLESS! Really did make our little getaway to Eastbourne truly memorable.

Ate there on three occasions and used the bar on two occasions over a three day period and everything as perfect as it can get. Friendly staff (even remembered our dogs name). The food was excellent and I recommend the Steak and Ale pie meal although the other meals i had over the 3 days were just as good.

Excellent service and a very good vegan menu, specially the vegan burgers!
We sat outside with a dog, no problem at all.
Charlie, Kat, Kayleigh, Ether Monor and Lee were very helpful advising options to eat and drink.
Would 100% recommend it.

Excellent food served by genuinely friendly and efficient staff, nice clear Coronavirus precautions with two-hour slots so that you don't feel rushed. At first we were a little disappointed to see the reduced menu but the burger was almost a steak, the salmon perfectly cooked and the whole meal was very tasty and satisfying. We had a gorgeous bottle of (red) wine with our food and left feeling very happy with our holiday dining experience. Thanks to all staff for such a lovely evening.

We love it here and come whenever we’re in Eastbourne. Their COVID precautions are great, one way system, track and trace, app for ordering if required, all staff in masks or visors and screens at the bar. Lovely food on both visits as always! The garlic mushrooms and halloumi sticks are amazing!! Thank you... see you soon!

Very nice views on the balcony outside. The food was really good (and im fussy) and the service we received from Lucas and Tiago was great too! All together had a lovely evening.

A great pub, coping very well with the Covid distancing regulations. There’s a one way system in operation, with staff at the entrance door to take contact details and to enforce the use of hand sanitiser. The pool table has been removed to provide extra seating at a safe distance. The beer is good (Old Speckled Hen and Harvey’s Sussex Best were on when I visited).

I visited with a friend today for the first time & was impressed with the staff. When we arrived there was a gentleman at the entrance. All outside tables were occupied & he took our details, asked us to sanitise our hands & then found us a table inside & made sure it was clean. My friend & I didn’t eat here so I cannot comment on the food, but just sitting & enjoying a drink was a nice relaxed experience. The interior is clean & smart. The outside has a lovely floral display which drew our attention to the pub as we were walking past across the road. We were well attended to. At least a couple of members of staff came over & asked if we would like further drinks as we finished so we were well attended to. Friendly attentive staff, nice atmosphere. My first visit & I shall return. Thank you.

We were greeted at the door and talked through current procedures in a very friendly and efficient way, then shown to a table of our choice.
The service was wonderful throughout, Kieron and the other members of staff were so friendly.
The food was superb. The best we have had in a Green King pub. The prawns were a perfect dish. The lamb shank with a great selection of vegetables, including creamed leeks was wonderful. A huge thank you to everyone for a lovely meal and friendly and efficient service, we will certainly come back again!

For the second year running we made this pub our regular go to for evening meals whilst on holiday in Eastbourne. The food is absolutely delicious. We're a couple consisting of one meat eater and one vegan, and we both love it. There's always several vegan choices for me, including starters and I think desserts, although we're not dessert people. My husband tried several meat dishes, loving them all, as I did too for my vegan meals. The staff are very professional and helpful, a special shout out to Cara and Esther who served us two days running, they were great. One day the kitchen was particularly busy so there was a delay, but we were notified of this and kept informed so it wasn't a problem. The ambience is homely/casual with a small courtyard out back in good weather, and also one out front if you want to people watch. There's also seating in a balcony upstairs. Love this place, and we'll definitely be back.

We were greeted at the door, and gave our details, pub is Covid compliant, payment by card.
There is an app that can be downloaded, to order food and drink from, which we did on our second visit.
We sat outside in the shade and had the fish and chips which was very good.
Have no hesitation in recommending the crown and anchor.

Visited this pub on Monday 10th for a dinner with my wife. I honestly can't say anything bad about this place, good food, good drinks, friendly staff, covid friendly and just felt soo welcome. Slightly long wait time for food but considering how busy it was still deserves 5 stars.

The service was perfect, right from entry through to exit. Obviously, due to Covid 19 there were restrictions on entry and location to stand at the bar; though these were handled excellently in a highly professional manner. Courtesy was shown at all times by all staff. We have eaten here before so expected a good meal; however, what we had exceeded our expectations considerably. I had steak and ale pie and my wife had lamb shank. Perfect!!!

We booked for a family meal, although the pub was busy there were good Covid-19 precautions in place and we felt safe eating there. The food was very tasty, especially the ribs. The staff were so friendly and helpful. It was the first meal of our holiday and set a high standard for the rest of our stay.

Enjoyed a lovely meal in this pleasant pub. Excellent and very tasty food, especially the ribs! Owen and Lukas who served us were polite and very attentive - very busy serving customers despite the hot weather and having to wear masks. Lovely location. They have responded well to the Covid-19 - very safe and organised.

I spent a long weekend in Eastbourne and had booked the C&A for my Friday Fish & Chips. Well covered to check in guests, hand sanitiser and staff operating tracking. As I had booked I got in easily and also was offered another table as did not fancy the sports bar. Excellent service by a young lady upstairs and had the amazing vegan torte!
Had breakfast on Saturday, full on. Staff again busy but attentive and were up for a quick chat. Back on Sunday for more tempura and the wonderful chocolate torte as above.
A popular place especially for Sunday lunch so do book.
