Lovely pub, great food. Can get very noisy especially if sports on TV (and very busy) but apart from that, friendly people and they often have live music which is normally very good. Would recommend booking a table though!

This was our first visit to the pub to eat a meal. The atmosphere was very welcoming with a comprehensive menu. The fish and chips were excellent as we're the other dishes.
My only small criticism would be that my baked potato was very small compared to what I was expecting and what was served to my daughter. It resembled a normal small boiling/mashing potato. The filling however, was scrumptious. A very pleasant meal, relaxing surroundings.

Spotted this was dog friendly due to the dog bowls outside. Not found too many places in Eastbourne that are so far. Had a lamb burger from the specials board which was absolutely delicious. Great atmosphere, really friendly and helpful staff and tasty food. There was table service for food which is really helpful when you are by yourself and managing nervous dogs. Would highly recommend.

Great food, wonderful service, fun atmosphere all makes a great time! We enjoyed all of it and will definitely be back to enjoy some more. This is one of my favorite buildings in Eastbourne. So cute!

We had a truly stomach filling experience the portions are huge, I had a steak and ale pie with mash and seasonal vegetables with thick gravy my girlfriend had a nutroast also with vegetables and vegetarian gravy we both finished our meals washed down with a couple of lagers and we couldn't move quickly afterwards and we certainly didn't have a dessert.
The food was cooked to perfection.

We visited this pub twice, both ties in the evening. The food was good, as was the beer and wine. We really enjoyed the live entertainment, especially the karaoke. At the tables it was waitress service for the food and drinks, where one can run up a tab for the whole evening - no visits to the busy bar.

Visited the premises on two occasions and was very pleased with both the service and the atmosphere of the pub.
The place was really busy and is one of the only live music pubs in the area.Good selection of beers on tap. Only gripe is that a double Bacardi wasn't on special offer!
If you visiting Eastbourne give this place a go.

We enjoyed the food and the staff were very friendly and helpful especially when we were too cold to stay out on the patio! I especially enjoyed the gluten free burger, although it was too much food so I shared!

We were in a seafront hotel nearby here to naturally paid it this pub a visit.
On the first evening after eating elsewhere we had a quick drink before heading back to our room, there was a guy singing and playing guitar which was a nice distraction, beer was decent and service at the bar was good and quick.On the second evening we stopped to eat and have a couple of drinks and though it was a Friday evening we found a spare table.
After ordering drinks at the bar we realised they took food orders from the table so that was good.Food arrived pretty quickly, I just had a burger and chips which was fine.
Prices are reasonable and overall we were pleased with the food and atmosphere.Would visit again if in the area.

Went with a group of friends for a quick pint! Once we saw the food that was coming out, we ended up staying for the whole evening! I had the steak and ale pie and mash which was honestly the best I’ve ever tasted. My friends had burgers which all looked amazing and the portions were huge! Great sports bar area with pool table and juke box! We will definitely return!

Although there is a very comprehensive menu, we opted for traditional fish and chips which were very good. The pub appears to have a good blend of tourists and locals and there is a great atmosphere. Staff efficient and friendly.

Located on the seafront this lovely pub is dog friendly and has great food. The menu is vast and ranges from the very best lamb shanks and steaks to a good selection of vegetarian and vegan options. On the first night we had the vegetarian sharing platter and on the second night we hoped to try the vegan platter but with the England v Sweden match being on we couldn’t get a table . The food was excellent and perfectly prepared and served.
If you are lucky you might even catch some of the great live music there from time to time. Great staff too and they fussed and looked after our dog really well.

Nice to see that they have a whole page in the menu dedicated to gluten-free food. Good place for families and very nice stuff. All the best!

Ate 2 nights running on a Friday and Saturday evening, us and the dog. Really well run pub. Extensive menu and good selection of beers. Lots of bar staff so despite being very busy both nights there was minimal wait to get served. Had salmon with cous cous the first evening which was excellent and lamb shank, mashed potatoes and veg the next evening-again excellent. Vegetarian, gluten free and vegan menus to if that’s your thing. Best to reserve a table in the bar and it takes away all the pressure when you have a dog. If you’re in Eastbourne and want a friendly, lively pub with decent beers, good food and great service, this is the place. Just remember to reserve a table as it’s certainly busy between 6.30-8pm.
