Simply great food me and my wife wanted a roast with all the trimmings, I had the lamb my wife had the beef came with lots of veg extra gravy etc , we also had the cauliflower cheese with truffle which was to die for !! Worth going just for that! Presentation of the food was good served on lovely plates. Two lovely ladies serving very attentive and a big thank you to the chef Dan.

We had a very enjoyable Sunday lunch. Both the roast beef and roast lamb we had were really good. And it came with a good serving of veg. Highly recommended

Lovely place for a nice dine and wine experience. It's cosy and the wine choice is great. It got very busy later on which only improved the atmosphere!

Very nice, pleasant atmosphere, the size (small) gives a nice warm home feeling. It was full, so the energy was nice.
It`s kind of fine dining and everything is made on the spot. The BEST steak I`ve ever had sofar in the UK. Also they different fish which match to the wines and a burger.
So the menu is eclectic, but there is no too many food on it what would be confusing. Always there is a daily special. Especially with the steaks.They have a wide range and selection of wines. Amazing.
They also have a small selection of Cuban cigars (H Upman, Cohiba, Partagas), what after dinner you can enjoy on a nice small terrace where you have very comfortable sofas.Staff is nice. Service good and quiet quick in spite of the full house.

The surroundings are lovely, with a cosy basement bar feel. We both enjoyed our meal well enough, but for the price we paid it did fall a bit short. You can tell the direction the menu is intending to go in, but the execution of the dishes we had didn’t warrant the price (£100 for two courses and a bottle of alright wine). I had scallops to start, which were meant to come with a jalapeño dressing, but this didn’t really taste of much. My husband had burrata and heritage tomato salad, which was very nice - but for some reason also came with a large pile of dry rocket and cherry tomatoes. We both had iberico pork chops with a blue cheese butter that unfortunately overpowered what is a very nice piece of meat. Service was friendly but a bit hurried and over-eager, despite the bar/restaurant being empty when we arrived. Overall, we enjoyed our meal but with much of Eastbourne still to discover we probably won’t be going back.

Cru is a small, perfectly formed restaurant in the town. There is ample parking around. Entry is via a basement stair. The food is exceptionally good and the wines are all high quality. Service is attentive and not too much and the waitress was exceptionally good with checking everything with chef before we ordered (food allergy). It was a shame we were unable to use our Airbourne Programme discount as it was a Saturday night, but to be very honest, the experience was well worth the lack of discount and this restaurant deserve every success and thank them for a perfect experience

Myself and a group of friends came down on Saturday night and this place just never disappoints!! The food is amazing. I had the steak that was on special - the owner said he travels to London to personally select the steaks with the whitest fat, the best colour and cut of steak - I think it really makes a difference. It was perfectly cooked and so flavoursome. The staff are lovely and the drinks are great too - you can’t pick a bad wine in this place! There’s so much choice and variety, really there’s something for everyone here. This is the best and coolest place to go to in Eastbourne by a long mile! Looking forward to our next visit already x

We wanted to have some good steak and so we booked this place for dinner. Definitely loved the vibe at the place and the waitress who served us was so lovely. The lobster and salmon gyoza sound amazing but was a bit disappointing. It was all minced up and we expected a bit of texture from the meats of the lobster and salmon. The sharing board of surf and turf was the one we loved. Although nothing special with the lobster, the steak was one of the best. It was cooked beautifully although steak with bone was hard to manage. It went so well with the sauce and it was good portions too. The steak was definitely worth paying for!

Excellent food, service, value. Best burger I have had in months. Very accommodative for allergies and kids. Great attitudes, good vibes from a buzzing atmosphere and staff. Definitely eat here again.

Cru hosted a bottomless prosecco cream tea for me and my friends this weekend. I am a regular diner at Cru - my fiancé and I love to eat here - however this was my first cream tea experience at Cru. It lived up to expectations - fantastic home made food and tasty prosecco, service fabulous as always. Our favourite place to eat in Eastbourne!

This place is truly a gem in Eastbourne. The food is exquisite, you can taste the time and effort the chefs have put into sourcing and preparing the finest ingredients with care and attention. In addition to the exceptional work the kitchen put in the front of house team give extraordinary service and the wine list is a work of art with wines for every occasion and taste. This is THE place to eat and drink in Eastbourne!
Be sure to try some of the cheeses they're to die for...

16 Mar Cru Eastbourne. Visited on a Saturday night in March. The entrance is below street level, down some steps, as the property was an old town house with basement. The restaurant is small but tables aren't too crammed in, with a mixture of proper tables and stools at bar type shelves on one wall. We had a proper table. The welcome was warm and friendly and the service throughout was very "keen" with waiting staff overheating a question and keen to provide the information. We found the portions / plating to be more starter & main than the expected (from their website) tapas style, however this worked very well and all our dishes were excellent and prettily presented. I started with a delicious scotch egg, lamb main and ice-cream dessert (see photos).

A big thank you to the staff at Cru for making our evening meal such a pleasant experience. My mother wanted an omelette which was not on the menu but this request was granted with no fuss and with a great attitude. Food was tasty, a small menu which is always a good sign. Fresh ingredients and I had the Special of the Saturday eve in question, a tasty pasta /pancetta dish.
Our thanks to Hardy and Jordan and their team of welcoming and professional staff or making this occasion such a memorable one. We shall be back to try some of the other tempting dishes soon!

Had a great night out yesterday at Cru. We loved trying some new wines as recommended by the friendly owner, and accompanied them with some small plates which were all delicious.
The service was excellent from the helpful team and the ambience spot on. Thanks again!

The food and wine at Cru are simply excellent! Some interesting things ( that are not pasta) for vegetarians too.

We came here for date night, I honestly cannot fault the service, the food or the wine.
My partner had the pigeon breast salad and I had the heirloom tomato salad. He said it was the best pigeon he had ever eaten, we will definitely be coming back.
