We've been in The Anchor and Crown today for a lunch and some drinks.
Staff was very welcoming and friendly. Food is absolutely outstanding! Next time if we'll be in Eastbourne we gonna come back.

This is my 3rd visit to this pub when visiting Eastbourne. To be honest I don't have a lot to compare it to because it was so good that we kept coming back. Lovely staff and a great simple, but excellent food menu. I'm vegetarian and rarely find a menu that caters for me. They have a good selection of tasty vegetarian/vegan burgers and other veggie choices that aren't the usual mushed vegetable or goats cheese offerings of other restaurants that are trying to be clever. Lovely, friendly and helpful staff make it a great place for an evening out

Great friendly and efficient service - plus fully prepared for reopening post pandemic. Very good food, drink and safe environment.

Myself and my wife Susan were recently in Eastbourne for a few days and came across the crown and anchor. We initially called in for a drink , covid 19 measures in place were good , but on seeing the food ended up having a meal . We were not disappointed the food was excellent as was the service and the staff . Although we did not eat there again we called in on 2 / 3 more occasions because of the good service we received . When next in Eastbourne will be sure to revisit this lovely pub.

Had a great dinner here a few days ago. Good choice, great quality and service was spot on. Also really appreciated how focused the team were on Covid safety too. Highly recommend.

The food is extremely tasty. I had my best Sunday roast in this pub - ever. Not too heavy, very satisfying and full of flavour.
Friendly and attentive staff. They will take their time with you and your order, even when they are busy.Due to the current Covid-19 situation, they had to install screens between individual tables and at the bar. However - unlike at other pubs - the screens don't interfere with the overall decoration of the pub. In fact they have been designed to blend in, so that you don't even realise they are there because of Covid. It has been nice to visit this pub and forget about the whole Covid situation for a while. In other pubs the screens are cheap and they remind you of the virus. In this pub the handled it with taste. The decoration (including the screens) looks really pretty and gives the pub a homey feeling.
They have got a great selection of drinks and are willing to mix you a cocktail if you ask them. Brilliant place, I had such a great time there. If/when I visit Eastbourne again, I will definitely visit The Crown & Anchor.They also offer a great choice of vegetarian and vegan meals.
If you can't finish your meal, you can take it away with you. They offer environmentally friendly packaging (something that I find very important) and biodegradable cutlery.

Friendly staff and good covid 19 measures adhered to. Nice atmosphere for a drink. Table service available and tables and staff adhering to social distancing. Cash only payments.

Lovely evening in Eastbourne. Charlie was our waiter and he made sure he did everything he could during our two hours here. He even brought a treat and water for our dog Charlie. Great service with a Smile.
The only thing I would say is there were no salad options on the menu, and the dessert menu was a bit limited. 🏳️🌈

OMG! This place was amazing, they have COVID-19 measures in place which were perfected! We could not fault the efforts of the team/staff. Our booking wasn’t logged when we arrived, I had done this via email. Lukasz and Kat were happy to fix the error and have us safely sat at a table for our meal. It was our first time staying at Eastbourne and this was so close to where we were staying.
We had garlic mushrooms to start, beautiful whole meal crusty bread on the side, I ordered the blue cheese burger with chunky chips and my hubby ordered the cheeseburger and chunky chips, BURGER ME!! They were amazing! Piping hot, fresh and so full of flavour! Anti bac gel available and social distancing mastered, we stayed for desert too.We even went out on the terrace for another bottle of wine! All the team were really helpful and friendly but we hope Kat, Lukasz and the cook got most of the tip!
It’s so refreshing to feel welcomedInto a new place, so thank you all.
Would definitely recommend and would come back! X

Visited this pub on a few occasions during a recent trip to the area. I had a lunch of sausages & mash which was very filling on one visit and the fish & chips that was excellent on another visit. On two evenings I went along to listen to the bands playing. The staff were excellent even during the busy periods. Highly recommend

I operated this pub way back in the 90’s and first time back since. Good basic traditional pub with lots going on. Very well located with a good function room. Didn’t eat but menu looked ok.

So friendly, no wonder it was packed. Amazing choice of gluten-free food, and they insisted on giving our two daxies a bowl of water and biscuit bone each. The food was absolutely delicious too.

Went in twice last week during our stay in Eastbourne, first time we just had drinks, but later in the week when we returned we had food and drinks, the food was fabulous. Staff are very friendly and helpful, on both occasions the pub was quite busy, great location just a couple of mins walk from our hotel on the sea front.

Being a Transfemal I'm very aware of nice welcoming and safe environment to visit. This place was great, I had a fantastic night watching and singing along to a live SKA band in the Crown and Anchor. Really good, very busy and definitely going back. Didn't try the food but did see people eating, it looked good and reasonably priced.

Cannot praise highly enough! Food was fab! Freshly cooked and excellent quality. I had pork belly just wow! Perfectly cooked with lots of fresh veg all really tasty. Service was also really good. A busy night at the bar but staff attentive and gave great table service with drinks offered no need to leave the table. Cannot recommend highly enough! Thank you Crown and Anchor!

Staying in hotel next door and, as the weather was nasty, decided to go local. What a good idea! Very well organised pub with extensive menu including (if you needed it) the largest vegan menu I think I've ever seen. As carnivores we chose the lamb shanks - delicious. Attentive staff checking if all well and ready to fetch drinks to the table.

Brilliant!
Highly recommended little local, obviously very popular as it was packed but we managed to get sat for dinner. The staff are fantastic and should be commended.
Lovely food, brilliant vegan options. All in all not what you would expect from a green king average looking seafront pub. Looks can be deceiving!

We dropped into the C&A to watch the rugby and found a welcoming pub, more than willing to reserve us a table to watch the rugby in the afternoon. We had some food while we were there and it was excellent. Thanks to Charlie who looked after us and some great new friends we met while watching the games.

After reading such good reviews on this seaside pub all I can say is every review is correct. Amazing , tasty, proper pub food. Good quality as well . Home made , Also have vegan menu, vegetarian and gluten free menus. Kids menu and dog friendly. We both had the home made steak and ale pie . Veggies were freshly cooked , no soggy veg . A gravy boat of really good gravy on the side . Really good value for money . We will certainly return and tell our friends and family. If you want a good meal . Nice pub. Lovely staff ( Charlie you were lovely) Then give the Crown a try. It s not pretentious. It’s comfortable & warm and good value for money . Thank you !
