Had their Boston Burger. Fabulous. The side salad was amazing, the chips cooked perfectly and the burger itself really good.

Good pub near the seafront. Some seating at the front of the pub allowing you to watch the world go by. Friendly staff.

Stopped in here for an evening meal and was handled by very pleasant staff. The food was well up to the mark and we would not hesitate using it again.

Mrs Too and I walked along the beachfront to the Crown and Anchor in Eastbourne at lunchtime. The entry to this busy pub is very welcoming, with three or four tables for seafront eating/quaffing while enjoying people watching. The tap room has a vibrant ambience, and the bar is set up efficiently. The walls are decorated with little placcards expressing quaint notions such as "Beauty Is In the Eyes of the Beerholder" and "Experience Is the Name We Give To Our Mistakes". We opted for the rear party deck as somewhat quieter on a Sunday afternoon. The little patio is cozy, but the views are pretty punk from back there.
She was in the mood for a half pint, so I went to the bar to see what was available. The most agreeable barman made a suggestion and drew me a couple of inches to offer her. She liked it so well that she got her half, and Ben asked for a snake bite drawn from the same tap. Both of us were quite pleased.
Even though it was lunchtime, we ordered the roast beef Sunday dinner. We are pretty persnickety beefeaters, so perhaps it was just good luck, but we certainly did not experience any of the shortcomings voiced by other reviewers. In the U.S., roast beef most often refers to meat around the ribs in the loin. In the U.K., we find it is usually top round, and in the case of Crown and Anchor the meat was superb. Now roast beef is hardly going to be considered haute cuisine, but it is not all that easy to get it just right, which ours was. The Yorkshire pudding was enormous and piping. The accompaniments were well done. We can’t think of any way our meals could have been improved upon.

great location right next to shore view hotel and just off the seafront. my wife and i had a sunday roast each (serve from 12-9 in the evening) i had pork, my wife beef, both with all the trimmings. excellent value for money and very good quality as well, nothing frozen all home cooked.
it can get busy but there is another bar upstairs and also a balcony with seaviews from both.

We had an evening meal in this pub whilst staying in Eastbourne for the Air Show. The staff were very efficient, professional and friendly. The food was excellent, especially the homemade lasagne which was the best I have ever had when eating out. (It even came close to my sister's home made lasagne which takes some beating!!!)
Would certainly return to this pub when next in Eastbourne.

During the Air Show, by chance, we visited this Pub/Res. We were most impressed with the friendly staff and the service we received at such a busy time and returned later to enjoy a meal.
The Owner was very attentive and made the time to ensure that her clientele were comfortable.
