After having seen good reviews, we decided to give it a go
The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was lovely, my husband had a full english breakfast, good quality, well presented and delicious (i sampled some of the sausage as it looked irresistible and it tasted as good as it looked)I had the homemade maccaroni cheese, which was very good and very cheesy
We look forward to returning and sampling more of their menu

This review is for visitors, since everyone who knows Eastbourne probably knows this pub already.
It is spacious – in the summer you can sit at a table outside or on the balcony. There is a wide choice of food, which is at a far higher level than the average pub grub.
What is particularly nice is that the bar is adequately staffed. We found that even on a busy holiday there was no struggling to catch someone's eye. It was all very relaxed, especially as the staff were so friendly.
The pub is quite active: depending on your tastes there are evenings for karaoke, a pub quiz and live concerts, among other things.

Went for the first time on a chilly Wednesday evening in early January - not many people about so getting a table was no problem. The young man who served us was delightful, nothing too much trouble. We are: one meat eater, one vegetarian and one vegan so it's not easy to keep us all happy. There are separate menus for veggie/vegan (and also for gluten free) and it is so nice to have a choice on the menu - many options for the veggie and only slightly fewer for the vegan. We had chilli con carne, butternut squash moussaka, and vegan nut roast (there was also a vegetarian version of this). All delicious. The nut roast was lovely and moist, served with really crispy roasties, mixed veg and a jug of gravy. The moussaka came with salad and sweet potato chips, and the chilli con carne with rice and salad. Two of us shared a fabulous vegan chocolate and coconut torte. Wine list not extensive but perfectly good and most come as glasses so we could all have something different. Although this is a traditional pub and there is no separate restaurant the service and quality of the food was excellent.

We called in here for brunch on New Years day. What a gem of a place. Gluten free catered for - both food and drink a very pleasant surprise.

Went here for a meal although the pub was loud and noisy that is the only downside.
The food was hot tasty and plenty of it real good value for money would go back again

This pub seems to draw you in as it very attractive from the outside so my wife and I went in and what a very pleasing atmosphere ,it was full and we were very luck to find a table. We studied the menu and as we had not had a Christmas roast dinner we chose the Nut Roast and picked a bottle of Red wine.
The red, a Merlot I believe, was excellent, full bodied with a lovely after taste, this is where the good news ends. Our meal finally came and did not look too appetizing but as we had not eaten since breakfast and it was now around 7pm, so we gave it a go. The nut roast was extremely dry the sprouts were overcooked and the roast spuds were naff and so was the rest of veg.
I know,, I know, I should have complained there and then but hunger got he better of me/us and I am sure that we have all be there when YOU JUST WANT SOMETHING TO EAT, and at certain times anything will do, and this was just one of those occasions.
When one of the bar staff came to collect the plates we let him know that the food was not of a good standard but hunger dictated why we ate it, all we got was a lukewarm apology.
So were the kitchen staff having a laugh and maintaining the renowned vendetta against many vegetarians by providing a plate of poor quality food ?. Have they never heard of Quorn ?
This was our first and last visit to this pub.
