We were visiting Eastbourne and hubbie wanted to find a pub showing spurs v arsenal. What a lovely place - stone wall, xmas decs , good food and a real buzz. Live music some evenings, darts, pool etc.
Great pub (shame the footie result wasn't the same !)

I paid for 12 of my staff to come for lunch here on Friday and from start to finish the lady I dealt with was extremely helpful and was very accommodating. My staff were overall happy with the food. They all loved the starters and deserts but the ones that had the burgers did not like it at all. Like I said though in general they loved it and staff were very easy to deal with

We visited Eastbourne at the weekend and walked past this place a few times. Why? It's a great place. Sunday we went in to watch the late footie, they have Sky and BT so they covered everything. The decor smart, it was clean and the food was delicious. A good choice for everyone. Plenty of staff on hand and very reasonably priced. Good choice of beers as well. Great decision and the roast looked amazing as well, but a girl can only eat so much. . . don't know why Trip call this a restaurant... It's a sports pub!!!

We just popped in for a drink on a Friday night and found one if the busier places in town with lots of people eating. The staff were friendly and we got drinks and sat down. Although one end of the pub is designated as a Sports Bar there are screens above the bar which everyone can see and watch Sky Sports so I'm afraid you can't get away from it, even if you wanted to.
The food we saw looked good and the drinks were fine. We would have stayed longer but we had a table reserved for a meal elsewhere.

Party of 10 of us celebrating my Wife’s 50th accommodated on an extremely busy night in Eastbourne with their Grand Torchlight Procession in full flow. Great venue with superb choice of good quality food & drink. Jess and all staff we encountered that evening were friendly and attentive, nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely revisit if back in the area and would highly recommend, faultless. Thank you for making our night memorable 😉

Have had some lovely meals at the crown but this was very poor. Hopefully a one off I must confess to not sending good reviews when food has been excellent. I have therefore scored a three to reflect the usual high standards .
. Over cooked steak served on a roof tile , the sauce came in a jug which you cannot pour unless you want it in your lap .. Ps no steak knife supplied for tough old steak which went home for the dog to excercise his jaws .Step Up C&A

I searched for a pub to watch the cricket on Sky with some difficulty but this was just along from our hotel. It has about 5 screens in different areas of the pub and was fine for that.

Pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff and the lunches were very good. We had mixed meals from the menu and the Sunday Roast all of which were well presented and tasty.

We would plan to go back next time in Eastbourne.

Have been and had another excellent meal with a friend. Cannot fault the food or the staff. Location easy to get too as near bus routes on main road and seafront. Good atmosphere and nice to be able to go somewhere where you do not have to shout at one another to be heard. Will be back again as still more on menu that has to be tried! My Beetroot meal today has given me ideas as this is just not something to be had cold in a salad.

Popped in just for a beer but ended up back for a meal. Beers included Olde Trip, Speckled Hen, Festival Ale, Surf Pale Ale from the USA & Aspells Suffolk Cider. Not personally in to veggie stuff but 10 / 10 for not just a good menu of stables, but for a comprehensive veggie and vegan menu too.
Had a Lamb Shank each, lovely and a chocolate & coconut torte that was ok but a bit lacking on the coconut flavour. Great pub, great ale, Sky / BT sports and very good food at a reasonable price.

I arrived in Eastbourne for a Ladies Festival on Friday afternoon and met up with the gang - but not the wife, who was running late - and what were we to do to kill a few hours before the festival began? PUB!
We wandered along the front for about ten minutes before finding this place - a few of our number were, of course, hungry but the rest of us just wanted a beer. The pub had a couple of guest ales on and we got stuck into the Festival ale (why not?) while the menu was studied in great detail.
Eventually, a couple of burgers and chips were ordered and quickly consumed along with more ale and a couple of bottles of wine! All in all, a lovely afternoon spent in the sun with friends. Recommended.

We were recommended to eat here and were certainly not disappointed. The food was excellent as was the service and we will certainly come back when in Eastbourne.

Best pub in Eastbourne. Although we didn't eat, the Sunday roast looked and smelled amazing. Very comfortable and clean. Shame we didn't stumble upon it at the beginning of our short break.

Popped in here on Thursday, got our drinks and started to look at the menu. Wow couldn't make my mind up what I wanted, so much that I liked. Lamb shank for me and burger for husband. Lamb shank sooo nice and lots of vegetables, stuffed. Glad we popped in. We were staying at the Langham hotel down the road, we stayed for two night and chose this pub to eat in the last evening, so glad we did. Great people run it to. Nothing is too much trouble for them.
