We first visited the Crown and Anchor pub one evening last year.
It was a busy evening and when we went in it seemed that everyone looked at us.
Now I understand we were strangers and perhaps they don't get many visitors out of season but the stared at us the whole evening. If I was a beauty I could understand but we are OAPs. We actually left because we were uncomfortable. We are used to enjoying a pub meal now and again so don't believe we were being sensitive.
This year we were in the area and wanted a pub lunch so decided to give it another try.
The barmaid was pleasant and we ordered sandwich and drinks.
The pub had a sports bar with large TVs etc . There was seating out the front and a very small patio at the rear. There was also a function room for hire.
The sandwiches arrived, the bread was very fresh and thick. Far too much butter for me but not for the others. We all had different fillings which were fine but nothing to rave about. The salad garnish looked a little tired .
There was a extended evening menu on a board which looked very nice but we did not have the opportunity to try it.
The drink and food prices seemed average for the area.
We might try it one more time in the evening to see if it is "clicky" or it was just a one off.

Was in Eastbourne for the weekend & this pub was very close to our hotel. It's a large premises which welcomes everyone. We dropped in several times over the 3 days we were there, although we didn't eat there, the menu looked tempting & the prices were very reasonable (I live in London where all pubs are quite expensive) All the food I saw being served looked really nice & good portions too. The staff were attentive & a barmaid remembered us on our 2nd visit which, given that it was so busy I thought was quite impressive. Just off of the main road facing the beach this is an ideal location for a family or couples lunch. On Friday night there was live music but it wasn't so loud that you couldn't enjoy a conversation with friends. So nice to find a real pub with friendly helpful staff. Will definitely visit again next time I'm in Eastbourne.

Visited here with a mate as we were in Eastbourne for the evening. Live band playing which was great, really good music. Lots of people dancing but no elbows flying about so safe to stand on the periphery! Seemed to be quite a friendly place, easy to talk to the locals and no long queues to get served. Well worth a visit on a night out.

We stopped off for a quick lunch during a walk along the Eastbourne seafront. The tuna mayo and the cheese and onion sandwiches with salad were both excellent and the wine was good and reasonably priced. Loads of TV screens for watching the latest sporting events too - a good experience!

My Husband and I stopped off at The Crown & Anchor for a quick drink after the Eastbourne Carnival, well....we stayed for dinner and several drinks! Lovely atmosphere, very friendly staff and superb food. Would recommend this pub to anyone, dog friendly, child friendly, and a really nice place to hang out for a while. They have pool tables and outdoor eating as well.
