Love this pub. Everytime we are in Eastbourne visiting our family we try & get in here. Staff are super friendly & helpful .
It does get full & sometimes you are best to reserve if its later in the day but that just shows what a great pub it is. Couldn't get in here Boxing day so had to go the Duke of Devonshire. Bad move. Avoid. Rude staff, not helpful. Customer service awful. We asked for a little less puree on our pizza & the chef came out saying he wasn't doing it. We had a bit of trouble with him & a barman & they told us to get out & threw our money back at us we were a party of 4 adults a baby & a dog. Please don't entertain the Duke of Devonshire. Just come here to the Crown & Anchor opposite the seafront. Can't go wrong with a huge selection of alcohol. Drinks & lovely food served with a smile .

5 as a regular and local I enjoy my visits.
The food is good, plentiful and service is fast and staff are observant, eagle eyed.

We had our Christmas works party here on the 8th. It was the best party we’ve had for years. Becci Emma and Olly did an amazing job at looking after us (sorry about the glasses).
It’s really made our year. Thank you from DGH A&E staff

We are regulars in the Crown and Anchor but have never eaten in there before, we have seen food being brought out to tables and it looked very nice, hence why we booked a family get together meal just before Christmas. Starters were all lovely, Halloumi fries, loaded nachos and garlic mushrooms. The mains were very mixed in quality, when ordering i went for the lamb shank, i asked the waitress if i could swap the roast potatoes for rice (rice was a dish on the menu with the chilli), i was told very politely that the chef wont allow menu options to be swapped, added or altered; i found this to be very strange, at all other restaurants chefs have been very accommodating and go out of their way to make the diner's experience a good one; can i suggest to the Management / owners, that your chef is more flexible and prepared to accommodate the customer's requests. Lamb Shank meals were delicious with a great selection of perfectly cooked vegetables, the Steak and Ale pie was lovely as was the home made mac n cheese. One of our meals was forgotten and wasn't brought out with all other meals, so we were eating a different times, when the meal of sausage and mash was brought out, the gravy tasted awful, because they had forgotten the meal, they then rushed to prepare it and in their haste they did not mix the flour into the gravy properly and it tasted like brown floury slop, this meal was then not eaten, the burgers were very very dry and unappetising.
I appreciate restaurants sometimes get it wrong, they couldn't blame it on being busy we were the only table eating. I asked to speak to the manager, and was very polite about the good points and also the not so good points, his response was excellent, took the cost of the meals off the bill and gave us free desserts. Mistakes happen, restaurants / chefs dont always get it right , what makes it right for me, is the way that the issue is dealt with afterwards, the Manager was spot on, polite, professional and listened. Well done to the manager and thank you. We will return for another meal in the near future.

Wonderful place, full of energy and friendly staff! Pub quiz on a Thursday is always a blast!! Alex is fantastic and always makes my visit worthwhile!

Parking: Depending on the time it can be tricky to park, but always worth the effort!

Went to Eastbourne and found this little gem, luckily it was a Sunday and we had the Sunday roast which was so good, the service was welcoming, war, Oliver was amazing, loved this guy, will definitely go back, thank you 🕺

Very disappointed with the Sunday roast. No stuffing, parsnips, soggy sprouts, 4 small reheated potatoes. Another friend had the blue cheese burger meat very dry! Over all very disappointed as had friends down.Food: 2/5  |  Service: 4/5  |  Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

A good pub with a really fun live band. Unfortunately the food was average and the portions were quite small. The staff were nice though.Food: 2/5  |  Service: 4/5  |  Atmosphere: 4/5 …More
