Eastbourne Pier
Latest Reviews
Nice views from the pier itself and lots of places to sit but very limited attractions. VERY DISAPPOINTED in "The Victorian Tea Rooms." Although nearly empty, we were ignored for ages and when we went to the counter the waitress who said she'd be right with us then approached the people who had just arrived! To add insult to injury the cream tea was awful! Terrible coffee & scones. I wouldn't bother! Go to cafe nearby on the beach - much nicer!

What a lovely spacious walk you can have along the pier here. You would not be able to tell that after the awful destruction due to the fire that there had been a fire at all. Fresh looking paintwork, lots of benches and seating areas, tea room, rock and gift shops, mini arcade and at the end of the pier a small but quaint bar (called 1901). All in all, and enjoyable walk.

Money is being invested in this recently acquired landmark. It is evident that the pier is undergoing repair and refurbishment. Shame all the roof pinnacles have been painted gold(ish) - a bit tacky. Glad The Victorian Tearooms have survived. Shame the fishing club facilities have disappeared. Will be interesting to see how plans progress and if reasonably priced, decent stalls, shops and attractions materialise. Too soon to say at the moment.

The Eastbourne Pier has been recovered after the fire and it looks very authentic. The sea view is stunning.

A trip to the seaside isn't complete without a stroll on the pier, and after the fire, Eastbourne pier was rebuilt quickly and well. There is a pub with good jazz music and food at the end of the pier, with outside tables where you can eat and drink while listening to music. There is a dedicated area for smokers (with a concrete floor rather than the usual wooden planks - someone has considered future fire safety!)
Take a look at the chandeliers in the Victorian Tea Rooms about half way down the pier... they are like nothing you will ever see elsewhere!

We enjoyed a walk along the pier. There is no entrance fee and you can walk outdoors along the wooden boards right to the end without having to go through amusement arcades. There are also plenty of seats and some picnic tables (although I don't think I would want to eat anything for fear of attracting sea gulls). There are some amusements and shops, a tea room, a jazz bar and a night club on the pier. It also provides one of the best views of Eastbourne sea front.

We went for a walk up the pier in the day time. There were nice views of Eastbourne from there. Plus all your standard pier entertainment, rock shops, souvenirs etc. It looked like a jazz and blues venue at the end which would have liked to come back to in the evening, but we were not staying that long.

I like old piers and Eastbourne's is one of the best. It's a grand structure containing some wonderful ironwork. I guess the local council are taking good care of it. Well done to them. It's also free!

I can imagine this Pier to be buzzing in the height of summer but it was quite a blustery day when we visited. Even so, it was just about warm enough to walk to the end and enjoy the view. We had a typical afternoon tea in the lovely tearooms with marvellous chandeliers and enjoyed the views!

It was free to enter it ,which was great news. Very clean and tidy. Lots of nice little shops to look in. From the fare end you get a great view of the whole of the front of Eastbourne. Well worth the walk along it.

Entrance is free which is a bonus as I have to pay in my home town of Bournemouth. Usual arcades and a good view back towards Eastbourne. Lovely "posh" tea rooms serving reasonably prices cream teas and afternoon teas.

The Pier is ok if all you want to do is have somewhere to sit for either a coffee or a beer. We went into the Tea Room and had a cream/jam scone each with a cup of tea and thought that at just under £9 for two was a bit above average. Nothing on the pier was of interest to us. We did have a look at the blown glass but again though it expensive.

A lovely big pier. Since the fire on Eastbourne pier, sadly the undercover amusement arcade was never replaced. There is a big gap where the arcade used to be. Still a nice pier to walk along and some seats to sit on and admire the view and catch the sun.

Great day out, brought back memories of my childhood. Kids loved it too even though it was hot and sticky. Be back soon no doubt

I'd talk about the magnificent views, the pleasant little shops and the utterly relaxed feel of walking above the Channel. Or mention the feasts available for a hungry couple at lunchtime and the ability to dine with the horizon at your table.
But they have a Zoltar machine. The proper one that gives you your fortune on a printed ticket. My wife and I had a blast listening to the fortunes, suddenly teenagers again watching Big at the cinema on our first date.
Eat hearty, slake your thirst and refresh yourself with the endless majesty of the view. Then spend every leftover coin you have on Zoltar

We were surprised the entrance to the pier was free. The pier is in good condition and well kept. We were lucky as it was a nice sunny day, so we sat and watched the world go by. I am not a fan of amusements, but if you enjoy that sort of thing then plenty to do.
