Well not so new anymore, but new to us!
We went in may with friends and enjoyed a lovely meal there. The staff are very enthusiastic and caring. They didnt have the wine we wanted but recommended a suitably delicious alternative.The food was excellent, I recommend the beef rib starter as a main.

As a cheese and wine enthusiast you can only imagine my joy when I discovered Cru was opening in Eastbourne! Personally I found there was a distinct lack of this kind of bar in the local area so I was really hoping it lived up to my expectations, and it definitely didn't disappoint!
The owners of Cru manage to get the perfect balance of welcoming you like an old friend, but also offering up their expert knowledge when choosing the perfect wine to complement your meal or to enjoy on its own. It's safe to say that Cru is my new favourite haunt!

I have visited Cru numerous times and it is by far my favourite place in Eastbourne, I love it! We attended Cru for a quiz night and had great fun, there is always a brilliant atmosphere. The wines are fantastic, such a huge choice, as well as the food which is delicious. The staff are really lovely and you always feel welcome, would definitely recommend.

An amazing wine bar! Superb choice of wines and a delicious menu to compliment the wines. Extremely knowledgable staff! My friends and I had a fantastic Friday night, we really didn't have to go anywhere else. I must also add that the background music was an awesome eclectic mix of music. As people have commented before; this is exactly what Eastbourne was missing, but not anymore...Cru, you have smashed it!

I went to Cru with a friend for lunch- the interior is done beautifully, they've made the best use out of a small space. We only had a sandwich each but they were well presented and made with fresh and quality ingredients. The wine was lovely and priced just right. I can't wait to go back!

I have visited Cru now on a number of occasions and been impressed each time.. The food is great and the extensive wine list is fantastic.. That accompanied by friendly, extremely knowledgable staff makes it a must for food and wine lovers..
This particular visit was for a business lunch with several business associates who were all equally impressed, a perfect venue to entertain clients. I also visited on a Friday evening with friends,and enjoyed a few bottles of wine at the bar, which had a great, buzzing atmosphere.
My first visit was for a Sunday lunch with my family, which was amazing and well worth a try.. The staff have catered for my needs on each occasion in a different way, always welcoming and ensure I have had a great experience.
As a final note you must try the Grand Cru, (ask for the smoked ricotta, amazing) plus the Plan Turning right wine.. Wow, had to buy a bottle to take home!!

Whether you're looking for a casual drink with friends or a business meeting, this place is the one for you. Worth visiting to try some of many amazing wines they have. Service provided by the staff is exceptional, and owners of the place will make you feel special no matter what the occasion is. Great wine, great food, great atmosphere. Definitely the best place in Eastbourne.

Unique formula in Eastbourne. Lovely ambience, with nice mix of high and low tables. Have visited several times this month trying various tapas dishes which have all been perfection. Wines very complimentary but not cheap. All in all an excellent place ...

This place is just what Eastbourne needed!!
Excellent customer service with a selection of over 100 wines. They serve the best food in town by far (try their ribs).
Thanks for an amazing evening!

Booked a table due to recommendations but not sure I agree ... Nice enough atmosphere and food but nothing stunning and rather overpriced for what it was. Bit pretentious for me, I'm afraid ... But the majority clearly love it so what do I know?!!

I am probably a little bias, but this really is a wonderful place to eat and drink. Many of my friends have already been to Cru and say the same as I do - very attentive staff, a nice and relaxed atmosphere, lovely food and great wine. I actually love the Cappuccinos after dinner too. Hardy and Jordan, the managers of Cru, are a very welcoming couple. They really treat every customer as special and like to get to know their regulars. I come to Cru each time I visit Eastbourne and every time it gets better and better. I particularly like the mix of high tables with bar stalls and lower tables in the restaurant. Thanks for opening a lovely new wine bar in Eastbourne - just what we needed!

Went for lunch on Sunday. Very welcoming and family run, creating an intimate and comfortable atmosphere to enjoy an afternoon with friends. The small plate wild mushroom croquettes are magical and I treated myself to the rhubarb cheesecake which hit the spot - both creamy and tart! Topped off with delicious wine, perfectly paired by people who know their grapes! I left sharing smiles with the owners and will definitely be heading back!! And I'll be trying the nut roast next time.

Great new place for Eastbourne, excellent service, amazing food and brilliant wines! My third visit since opening and will definitely be back!

I have been to Cru a number of times since it opened last month and every time have experienced brilliant service from the staff! Just what Eastbourne needs a place to enjoy a nice glass of wine with excellent food to nibble on too, perfect setting for a couple, or a girly get together! Highly recommend

Popped in last week for a glass of wine with friends and managed to get a table to try some nibbles. Wow...this is what Eastbourne needs, it was really busy, great atmosphere, staff who knew what they were doing, knew their wines and made you feel really welcome. The cheese and continental meat boards were ideal accompaniments to fine wine and you can choose from a menu for larger bites if you wish. This place is new but it won't be long before it becomes firmly established in Eastbournes regeneration.

We have been to Cru on weekends when we have visited in the last month and we have eaten there three times. I can be a real fusspot but the staff could not have been any more helpful and also accommodating. The food is also fantastic! Sirloin steak was cooked to perfection. Very good selection of wines and extensive knowledge by the staff which is a real selling point - they recommend wines that are good and match what I'm eating, not to make money. Charcuterie and cheese boards until late are a great idea too as most places close their kitchens at 9.30.
Living in Canary Wharf, we are spoilt by nice wine bars in London. This is a little gem of a place though in Eastbourne. I recommend it highly.

I came in for some lunch and I'm still here at gone 5!
There are so many wines to try and the staff are very knowledgable. It is a very dangerous combination and I can see myself spending many days and evenings here. A fantastic place to finally have in Eastbourne and I am already looking forward to revisiting.
A classy bar all round and the food matched it too. Pappardelle was fantastic.

On recommendation we decided to try Cru last Friday evening with a friend for drinks and dinner.
We booked in advance which was just as well as it was busy and full.The owners made themselves known and we're very knowledgeable and helpful with both the food and extensive wine list.
The food we chose was absolutely fabulous and so nice we even revisited Saturday lunch time to try other things. Portion sizes are good and the quality of the food is amazing. Well worth a visit but recommend booking.
