We were staying at a nearby hotel, York House(separate review) and arrived late around 2:30 pm and this was only pub open for food and drink. We are from USA and wanted our first pub meal. But what a surprise with the tasty food they serve. Obviously, they have fish & chips but I had the lamb shank and it was great. My husband had the fish and chips and the chips portion is so huge so I got shard that too.
I have to add a great beer selection too. It was too cold so could not enjoy outdoor tables.

Went here for an evening meal while staying in Eastbourne. Welcomed on entry by a member of staff and nothing was too much trouble - given a taster of real ale to check it was to my liking. Menu was extensive and we both enjoyed our meals very much - they were very good value and the vegetables were cooked to perfection (for my taste - not over cooked!). Ale was well kept and a good choice - may have been lucky as they had a choice of 6 from the barrel - as just before the beer festival. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. Although part of pub chain this Pub offers far more than others I have experienced in the group. Well done to the Crown and Anchor staff who strive to make it like the "local" and where you are a person and not just another number! You deserve to be supported!
Would recommend if you want good food and drink at a reasonable price!

After drinking in this great pub on many occasion we finally got to have our first meal here, we had an early evening meal.
As always the service was very good, food arrived very hot, I had the crispy pork which I had with chips and veg, I had no complaints it was all cooked to perfection and very tasty, on the other hand my wife went for a cheese burger, now the menu states that the chef makes this from fresh, I must say it did not look like it and looked very much like a standard formed burger,
We would eat in here again but would not have a burger which just did not hit the spot
The beer, wine and service is always good in here and the bands add to a great weekend night out.
From what this pub used to be like it has certainly improved for the better and is a great venue

We popped into the Crown and Anchor for lunch in a recent visit to Eastbourne. It was friendly and welcoming, and easy to settle down into to while a couple of hours away. The ales were excellent, and I especially commend the Hogs Back T.E.A. that they had along with a number of well-kept guest ales. Food was very nice. The ‘Homemade Traditional English Pie of the Day’ was Turkey and Ham and served with an amazing selection of vegetables and roast potatoes. It was like having a roast dinner! All in all, very good and we wouldn’t hesitate to visit again.

This pub serves up some of the best food we have had in along time you really need to be hungry to get through the portions they are huge.

Went on a wet Sunday night for dinner, as had heard some very good things about the food here, and we were not disappointed.
Huge portions, great quality and fairly reasonable priced too.Waitress was very pleasant, as was the chef who bought us our meals.
Most of us had roast beef and roast chicken, all beautifully presented and had all the trimmings.Would definitely go again.
We left before the karaoke started around 8.30pm (not our thing) and the only negative point was the strong smell of bleach when we walked into the bar. It was so strong we thought we may not be able to stay but eventually it seemed to go. Lovely pub, lovely food and great atmosphere.

Having completed the final leg of the South Downs Way, a party of 13 descended on the Crown and Anchor for a pre-booked lunch. What a superb gem on the seafront to the North West of the pier. We were met by friendly and helpful staff who served us with a welcoming drink. We had a variety of absolutely delicious main courses ranging from turkey pie, to chilli con carne, liver, scampi, fish and chips, lamb shank, lasagne and a couple of other dishes at the end of the table which I couldn't quite see. All were served piping hot and with very good presentation. The desserts were good wholesome pub ones. The jam sponge with cream was a great hit, as was the chocolate fudge cake with choc sauce. We can thoroughly recommend this excellent pub with a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, serving value for money food.
