A large pun restaurant, good for a quiet lunch but potentially noisier at night with live music. Good choice of sandwiches and meals. Separate sports bar with pool table and darts. Very friendly staff and very nicely presented food. We went back again.

Nice and friendly pub. I had a prawn salad, you get alot of food and a latte. Reasonable price and I didn't get rushed. Its opposite the sea front too.

Great pub with great food and entertainment in the evenings.... we tried this pub on the Friday night and enjoyed ourselves so much that we went back the following night too. We were a party of 10 and we were made to feel welcome by the helpful and friendly staff. We booked to eat there on the Saturday night and the food was really good with lots of choice for vegetarians or people with gluten intolerance. We would definitely go back there when in Eastbourne again. Just another note: - I personally would like to thank the honest lovely female member of Staff who pointed out that we had overpaid our bill and refunded our overpayment.......how honest and lovely was she? What a great person.

Ate here every night of our three nights stay in Eastbourne. Food is varied and delicious, and the service is efficient and friendly.

Have a friend who struggles to find something other than a salad for a vegetarian when we meet for lunch. First time we have been here following a recommendation by a work colleague that a full Vegetarian Menu had been set up. She had the Nut Roast and I had the Feta and Beetroot Burger. Food excellent and we shall certainly be going again as first time in years she has thoroughly enjoyed her meal as did I and we want to try some of the items on the menu. Staff very friendly, lovely location and nice to go somewhere that does not have loud music blaring out that you cannot hear one another talk.

We popped in here one evening during our stay. A well kept local pub with good range of drinks and pleasant staff.

We had a lovely evening in this delightful pub despite it being extremely busy they had two private parties on the staff were simply the best they were friendly,attentive without being obtrusive they noticed when our glasses were low immediately came to check if we wanted more the food was freshly cooked to order& generous portions I had steak which was cooked to perfection my husband had Quiche& salad which he said was the best ever! We didn't wait too long for the food to arrive either I can't recommend this pub enough it's well worth a visit prices are very reasonable and not forgetting the delicious sweets

Nice pub right on the seafront. There are some tables and chairs outside if you want sit out there on a nice day. We spent a few good pleasent hours here. We didn't order the food so can't comment on that. It's a dog friendly pub and one of the staff (all of which were very nice) brought our doggy some water.

Despite being very busy, service was quick and friendly and I didn't feel awkward being a woman on my own. Food excellent and service quick.

We called here for an evening. It looked nice enough from the outside. Menu fairly standard, but there is a specials board inside. The customer service standard was high. The interior itself was a little tired. It had a good sized bar with tables for eating at in the bar area, several sports screens, papers to read, a local information screen. The food was decent enough - we had pork belly and lamb burger from the specials board. With one drink each the bill was £32. The beer was very nice (choice of cask ales), but not used to paying over £4 a pint. The floor in the gents was very wet and I'm not totally sure what I was paddling in. Without the quality customer service levels this would have been average.

Lovely location with very friendly and helpful staff, but drinks are a bit expensive. Very tastefully decorated and a pleasant stop for a drink.

Popped in to grab some lunch. Had the most amazing homemade burger and the skillet of ribs was huge! More meat than bones like most ribs on menus! Couldn't fault the food, just wish we had enough room in us to finish it all. The staff were lovely and helpful and we will definitely pop in to eat when we are next in Eastbourne!

Started well with a drink , ordered food not bad but when questioned one of the courses , was piping hot from the inside claggy and stodgy instead of crispy and creamy , asked the waitress was it microwaved she went off someone came back and said the chef said "no it wasn't" sadly it clearly was so the lie on top of the disappointing course made for disappointing evening ... better places on the front to eat !!

Simple and easy menu. Lots of specials to choose from too. We always get the ribs although once it was not up to the usual standard but was promptly replaced with no fuss. Kids also love the food here. Especially the children's roast which is exceptional value.

The pub is on the seafront and has outside seating as well as inside. It serves a good selection of freshly cooked meals.The staff are friendly and helpful and it has a traditional pub atmosphere which can be hard to find nowdays. We all enjoyed our meal. It is wheelchair accessible - however -be aware that at present there is not a wheelchair accessible disabled toilet. Our hotel was close so this was not an issue. We were told that a disabled toilet is planned.

Stopped here for a drink and ended up having evening meal . Starter was lovely and we were asked if we would like our main straight away or to wait which was nice .
Main course was enormous but delicious ! Huge portions . Waitress was fab and on the ball . Definitely worth a visit .

We really love this pub however come summer times we tend to go else where,we find year after year the chairs outside the front are really uncomfortable, very bad quality. It's such a shame because this weekend the Carnival is in town and as much as we would like to be at the Crown & Anchor, we will be choosing another venue.
If only those chairs were of better quality!

Came for the band. Very lively. Service was good. Drinks were a little expensive (but the band was free, so it's expected). Many people eating but I didn't, so can't comment on the food. Had a GREAT night.
