We went here because the restaurant at the hotel where we were staying was so awful and we didn't want to eat there a second evening! We came across this pub whilst out looking for somewhere to go that evening so we decided to pop in for a light snack and if it was any good, we'd return. It was warm and welcoming, very friendly staff and it looked festive with all it's decorations. Our light snack turned out not fo be very light!
My husband had a bacon baguette which was delicious and I had a cheese and ham toastie which sadly I couldn't quite finish. It too was delicious( and restored my faith in toasted sandwiches having had three in three different pubs recently and all very poor) it was served by a lovely young man, presumably the chef.The beer was also very good.
As it was only a few minutes walk from the hotel we returned for dinner. It was an awful evening, blowing an absolute gale, but it was well worth it. The place was buzzing and we managed to sit at the same table. My husband had another beer and we shared a bottle of red wine which they eventually found after much searching so nothing was too much trouble. We both chose the braised lamb shank served with roast or mashed potatoes.We didn't order starters as we had an idea of the size of the portions! When it arrived it included roast parsnips, leeks in a sauce,broccoli,swede, cabbage and carrots! It was delicious, nothing fancy,just good wholesome food well cooked and sensibly priced. If we are ever in the area again we will certainly return.

My boyfriend and i visited here during a week away in Eastbourne. The food is fabulous! Huge portions, friendly staff. My boyfriend had cottage pie which was so generous that he couldnt finish it, and that is unheard of for him!! I had pesto pasta and garlic bread, yum!!and again too much to manange. All in all we had a great visit

great bustling pub, lovely great food and entertainment.
bar prices a bit on the expensive side example was a pint of kronenbourg and a single vodka and diet coke £8.10 but food prices value for money as portion sizes plentiful

Visited twice over a weekend away and can say that both times it was busy but that didnt stop us being able to get a table for a meal. Staff were friendly and our food prompt in arriving.
Would definitely consider this seafront pub again if visiting Eastbourne.

Love this pub, we have been going there for a few years now when we stay in Eastbourne. Staff are always friendly and the food is excellent. They do a great deal on a cheese board for two with a bottle of wine for £15, which is very good value. Highly recommend this pub.

My partner and I visited for dinner. We have not been here before even though we live locally. Service was great, everyone was friendly. The service was quick and portion sizes are big. The bar became quite busy which is a good sign in my eyes and they are dog friendly which is also a big plus point from me. We will definitely be returning and taking our two fur balls along.

Just out of town a little bit but still one of Eastbourne's hidden gems - reasonably priced, nice food - real ale beers to keep the men happy, sport of televisions but not overpowering - just gave atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon. Would go again.

My wife and I enjoyed a hearty meal at the Crown and Anchor located just one block from the beach with Eastbourne Pier in sight. I ordered Lasagna - delicious, while my wife was more adventuresome and experienced a classic British dish, Bangers and Mash (Sausage and Mashed Potatoes). Total bill including coffee and tea, 26.95 pounds. Recommended for a genuine English Pub experience.

Popped in for a late lunch and a drink. Friendly staff offered wine tasters without being asked, nice beer, fresh tasty salad with the jackets and the sandwich. Staff were attentive and the meals served to fellow diners looked delicious. We will eat later next time and go for the main menu. Well done.

Friendly local with good real ales. The steak and ale pie is tasty and filling , a large proper pie with short crust pastry and a top and bottom, none of that puff pastry dish rubbish. It also comes with 5 different vegetables, what's not to like? I will call in a again if we return to Eastbourne

A busy, lively pub with a mix of locals and tourists. Extensive menu, good portions, freshly cooked to order. Friendly and efficient staff. An added bonus that it is dog friendly. Very convenient for nearby B&B clientele looking for lunch or dinner. Highly recommended.

Amazing nice food and the staff on duty at both occasions in the last few days were kind and helpful and went beyond normal pub service ! Very professional , but as an ex publican and knowing the town very well I was quite disgusted when I heard that the staff don't even get food whilst on duty, was mentioning they must love the food themselves and a regular customer said they get nothing I over heard they work so hard surely in a busy pub that's clearly doing financially well you can feed your staff especially such a great chef and bar staff ! Hope to visit again and know management care !!!

I visited the pub with a friend for an evening meal and was pleasantly surprised by this busy and attractive pub.There is a good choice of hot and cold food;,soup or quiche of the day.a interesting special board.My friend had steak which was perfectly cooked to her taste.I had beef in ale pie which like the rest of the food is homemade.Good portions.There is a good choice of locally produced beers and nice wine list.There is an upstairs function room and a pretty little garden at the rear.The staff are helpful and efficient.I would recommend this pub highly.

Lovely pub situated on Eastbourne seafront. Didnt try the food but it looked good. The real ale was great as was the atmosphere. It was lively but not too frantic. Live music on the weekend was a bonus.

I have eaten here a few times and the last time been two weeks ago, amazing little pub. Staff are very nice and very friendly.
They will put your card behind the bar and keep a tab open for you.Food is always nice and on a nice day it's nice to sit outside.
Really nice pub.

Crowded and noisy on the Friday night. 45 minutes wait for food but excellent when it (Lamb shanks) came. Great variety of accompanying vegetables all cooked perfectly. Varied menu, large portions, reasonably priced.
