Myself and a group of friends went to the Crown & Anchor for a birthday celebration on Saturday evening. I phoned ahead and asked for two bottles of champagne to be put on ice! On arrival we found that a table had been set aside for us, which was a very nice touch. Champagne and glasses were on the table with Olie the manager waiting to open the first bottle for us. Many thanks to Olie and staff for the very kind welcome, we shall return.

This is one of the closest decent pubs to the seafront and the pier and internally it’s a modern decor with mainly plain tiled and wooden floors, pastel coloured walls with some typical exposed brick walls in places, one of which has a large chalk board with the food menu. The main bar room has wooden table and chairs throughout but still plenty of bar stools around the square bar area. To the right is still a more public area with pool table and dart boards but still quite smart with plenty of comfortable seating and then upstairs is a function room and access to the very good outside balcony area with limited seating providing wonderful views of the sea.
The food is decent pub grub rather than gastro with the usual Beer battered fish and chips and assorted burgers coming in around £10 and we found it a decent stop for a spot of lunch. Walked past it every night in the evening when it was significantly livelier with a younger crowd and there are regular live music acts at the weekend who I presume play in the function room upstairs.The only downside is that this is a Greedy King pub and of the four real ale hand pumps three had Old Speckled Hen, Greene King IPA and Hardys & Hansons Olde Trip and the fourth was unclipped, although according to the barman the fourth one usually had a changing guest ale but I was just unlucky for my visit.
Good pub and deservedly popular, but due to the ale choice I ducked it in the evenings for the Belgium Cafe further along the seafront.

Rather disappointed with the food received. I ordered Lasagne which was very tasty but very over cooked with some of the pasta so hard it was difficult to chew. My husband ordered Crispy belly pork which again was very over cooked and shrunk away. Not like the meals we used to get a while back. What a shame. So disappointing. Unfortunately we will not be rushing back. We have recommended this pub so many times. Will not be doing so again.

The staff are friendly and the entertainment excellent

I was staying locally in Eastbourne for a couple of days and came across this lovely pub with food.
I ordered the lamb shank and when it arrived it was the most beautifully cooked lamb shank I have ever tasted all served with fresh vegetables and roast potatoes. I would highly recommend this place 5/5 for me. 😀👍

Called by accident as only in Eastbourne for 2 days and did not want to eat in hotel. Booked for later in the day and was glad as it became very busy. Only a small area for serving meals but of very good quality and good value. The starter of ribs were excellent and the portions were large especially the pork belly which included all vegetables and left us very full
