Visited The Crown and Anchor today. Excellent food and really nice staff. Lovely pub atmosphere. Can recomend the ham, egg and chips and the boston burger, followed by a delicious home made jam sponge and custard. Well worth a visit and we will return.

Ate here for lunch and had a few drinks. I had a brie and ham toastie which was delicious. Friendly staff, good value for money and nice interior. Great location just close the seafront and pier. Would loved to have visited in the evening where I saw live entertainment was going to be on! Hope to visit again!

This has got to be one of the better pubs in Eastbourne. The staff are all so nice and the food is pretty good and reasonably priced. I had the lamb burger which was very tasty. Good range of beers and regular live music. Have visited most years in my annual trip to Eastbourne for Airbourne.

Just returned from a weekend in Eastbourne and visited this pub for the three nights we were there. Long time since I have been in a pub as good as this one. Great atmosphere and really friendly and welcoming staff, treated everyone young and old equally. Entertainment was really good and overall the pub had a good feel about it. Well done to the manager and they should be real proud of the good job the staff are doing.
Will certainly return to Eastbourne and this great pub.

They done a great job of make is pub great. Good food, beer and bar staff l would recommend this place for a good meal if you are on the sea front.

Staff were very welcoming, service was quick, pub was clean and food was reasonably priced and delicious. Would definitely go back there again.

Ate here during Airbourne and despite being very busy, the staff were brilliant. The chef should be congratulated for his meals and presentation. So happy, i returned 2 nights later and again a very pleasant meal. All staff seemed to be working very well together.

Spent the night in Eastbourne on the 10th and had a great meal in the Crown And Anchor, I must also say the service by our waitress "Alice" was the best I have had in years.
Will definitely return when I return to Eastbourne Well done

Super friendly staff made is feel at home. Great food and drinks! No complaints...went back for seconds! Both nights we enjoyed our pub food with continental flair and friendly lively atmosphere.

Really friendly & attentive staff. Nice meal (macaroni & cheese and scampi & chips) at a reasonable price.

The crown and anchor is a good choice if you want a nice meal and a drink the bar staff are very attentive and so professional

Mixed feelings. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The bottle of wine was reasonably priced and the food portions were large. My only gripe - and it is quite an important one - my fried fish was nearer to burnt than cooked - definitely overdone - so not a great day for me. Some you win. Otherwise it seemed a very good pub.

We have visited this pub twice now while on overnight stays in Eastbourne. The pub has a very friendly clientele and good music I think three nights a week. If you like a lively time go !

A colleague and I were work in the area and stayed in town .
came across this pub have a beer and Chat with staff member Emma . We did not stay as we tried other pubs.We returned the following days as it was by far the best pub we came across.
Very friendly staff , great Real ales , and great food.Cant recommend it more highly ...

We were pleased to have found this "local" when we visited Eastbourne overnight last Wednesday as the road that has all the restaurants had been taken over by "Black Widows" bikers, (Every Which Way But Lose / Any Which Way You Can). The menu seemed good and the prices looked ok but the main attraction was that there was plenty for my veggie wife to tuck into who was looking forward to the Seafood Platter while i was looking forward to tucking into a well done but juicy Rib-Eye Steak.
We ordered Garlic Mushrooms for starters and for some reason they bypassed those and brought out my Steak first so i sent that back. Never mind, mistakes happen. The starters turned up 10 minutes later and wow, what a size. There was enough for both of us to share. In fact we could have offered them around the pub. It more than filled us up though and we asked for the main in about half an hour but they arrived 5 minutes later anyway. Never mind, mistakes happen.
My wifes' Seafood Platter looked lovely and she certainly enjoyed it, however, my "Rib-Eye" Steak, it was definitely not. Even a bad one will have marbelling edible fat running through it which you can't even see when it's cooked, but I've never had a Rib-Eye Steak with thick inedible gristle running a centimetre all round one side.
I cut it off and eat it anyway as i was hungry but this did confirm it was not a Rib-Eye.
I wasn't going to say anything but the waitress asked so, well i made my thoughts known, politely of course and to be honest i wasn't expecting anything. She went off and came back and said the manager offered a free drink but we were leaving anyway so i said well if there's something on offer i would rather have reduction in the bill. She went off and came back again saying the manager was also not happy with the butcher that morning and the state of the steak and said there would be no charge for it.
Naturally i accepted but i had to ask, if the manager wasn't happy with the steak in the butchers, and didn't buy it? So i asked how and why it ended up on my plate and she didn't know. I said it was because they didn't want to lose sales and were hoping people would eat it without saying anything - which i almost didn't until i was asked.
Other than that it would have been a perfect experience and we will go back there again - but i think i'll go for the Seafood Platter next time or ask to see the Rib-Eye Steak before it's cooked.

Four of us stopped off for a lovely pub meal with a great location. Pub food was quality at an affordable prices.

Just visited the Crown and Anchor after a long day of sight seeing. Amazing food. Fantastic server. Quick service. 1 wine, 1 pint, 2 kids meals, 3 entrees = £35. Food is delicious and plentiful servings. Quiche of the day was yummy, and Mac n cheese was creamy and tasty. Both entrees came with salad, coleslaw, potato salad, and the quiche came with a potato side dish as well. Highly recommended.

Visited here today and the food was amazing!! I would definitely go again and would highly recommend it to anyone. Service was really good aswell very friendly staff and helpful.

I was invited to a Reunion of the Class of 1986 of the Secondary School of which I was Headteacher. The welcome was couteous and strong, the food excelent and the service great.

Me and my hubby and a friend were recommended to go here for food by a local resident on our recent trip to eastbourne. Boy am I glad we did. The service was fantastic, the staff were all really polite and friendly and helpful. The food was fantastic. Definitely coming again next time we are in Eastbourne

Lovely pub right by the beach. We sat outside the front as it was a gorgeous day. My friend had the veggie burger which he said was lovely. I had the homemade vegetarian quiche & cheesy garlic bread which was gorgeous.
If in the area again we would go back.

We have visted the Crown & Anchor pub several times over4 years, this year we felt it did not have such a good apmosphere, as it had got very load even early in the evening due to local builders now useing it at about 5pm when it used to be quiet and nice to eat early, we also felt while the menu was much the same as usaul, the food was not up to their usaul standard and care in presentation was now very poor, salad was limp and old and not arranged apetisingly, condiments were in mucky containers which needed a wipe....

Came here to watch the European Championship final. Very good atmosphere and selection of drinks. Would definitely recommend to watch matches in there.

End of year staff party Thursday 21st July. The function room at the Crown and Anchor is upstairs. Good size room plenty of room to dance the night away. The buffet that was presented was to a high standard and enjoyed by all. The staff working on our event were efficient and professional. The evening was enjoyed by all and we have booked again for our Xmas party.
Down stairs in the pub was buzzing and plenty of people eating. We thank the staff for such a good night.

We visit Eastbourne every year to visit family. We stay on the seafront and the crown and anchor is 2 minutes walk from our hotel. Good quality food at a reasonable price. The ribs are to die for as is the lasagne and burgers. A big advantage is its dog friendly too as we always take our dog with us. Lovely food and friendly staff. Looking forward to our next visit.
