Popped in here for a quick drink early one afternoon......and didn't leave until nr closing time. Heidi and her staff were very friendly. It happened to be Heidi's birthday so it was like a party all afternoon and night. The food looked good and very reasonably priced.
Karaoke was on in the evening and everyone got involved and made it a very very enjoyable day.

Had lunch here on saturday and it was just what we needed. It was freezing cold outside and we wanted something hot and thats what we got. I had chilli con carne with rice and chips which came with garlic bread, and it was very tasty and piping hot. Mum had lamb of lamb with all the trimmings, very nice and lots of it. Friend had pork and said it was lovely. Well worth a visit and very reasonable. Ok menu but huge daily specials board. Will be back next time i'm in eastbourne

This bar near the Sea Beech House Hotel was about the only place in Eastbourne with any atmosphere on the Saturday night in March when we visited. Very friendly staff, very reasonably priced wide range of drinks and and excellent band. It's a shame we decided to venture elsewhere only to find we should have stayed put. They regularly have live music and well worth a visit

having to work in eastbourne for a few months we were lucky to get in a b&b on the front and this pub was just around the corner . the food is excellent and reasonably priced very good if your on a budget the beer is of good quality and we found the bar staff very helpful and chatty something you dont find in many pubs much . sky sports on three tvs and two pool tables kept up occupied all in all a very good pub

Spent the afternoon in here, lovely atmosphere with nice staff. Very comfortable and very popular, have learnt never to judge by outside appearances.

Dropped-in for a quick drink on a cold January late afternoon. lovely warm spiced cider, comfy seating. Pub was welcoming and full of character (and a few local characters!). Menu looked good, and reasonably priced. Unfortunately we weren't able to stay for a meal.

We came here for a Christmas party for our roller derby team. Our party consisted of 25-30 people who are a mix of omnivores, veggies and vegans. The food provided was fantastic, the veggies and vegans were having to defend their food from the meat eaters as it was so good. Heidi and her staff were brilliant, really took care of us and we followed our meal with dancing and karaoke late into the night. Definitely going to become our regular party palace! Can't recommend enough :)

The Crown and Anchor did my roller derby team's Christmas party, and have hosted us for other functions, and their hosting is great. They put us on an amazing spread for a reasonable price, catering for a range of dietary requirements and there was a great atmosphere for karaoke afterwards.
I'd highly recommend it, particularly for their delicious food!

Having booked for a trip, was pleased to find this quaint pub close to our hotel. Beer very good, atmosphere friendly. Was delighted that they had tv events to watch.

I travel to Eastbourne twice a. Month and always visit here. Food is really nice and the beer is good.
They have a tendency to employ really attractive bar staff! Can be really pleasing on the eye.

We have just been to Eastbourne for the weekend and stayed in a hotel next to the pub. We spent Friday night enjoying a swing band and having a lovely meal and a thoroughly fab evening thanks to the great staff who make you feel really welcome. We shopped Saturday but made time to go back there for lunch and then again in the evening for dinner and again and enjoyed a cover band from the eighties. I also have to mention a lady called Philomena. It was her birthday and she was a joy to watch on the dancefloor in the evening in her "onesie" laughing her head off which in turn made us laugh. It all made for a great evening. Well done to all the lovely staff.
Love Helen and Martin

Held a party in the upstairs function room, great sized bar area, perfect layout, all but everyone commented on the quality and size of the buffet, the staff were friendly and accommodating, could not have asked for a single thing to be better. Returned on mass for a lovely breakfast the morning after. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thankyou Heidi and all your lovely staff.

This pub was once a horribly dated waste of space. It always had such enormous potential and was a beaut of a pub waiting to happen. Finally, it was taken over by someone with the skills to see it fulfil its potential!
I can honestly say The Crown & Anchor is the best pub in Eastbourne. It's full of atmosphere and buzz; fresh, clean pints and homely pub food. The decor is reminiscent of some of the finest London station pubs with its stripped floorboards and clean finish but it remains cosy and comfortable and being the closest pub to Eastbourne seafront, endless events and posh upstairs function room, it has it all going for it. Go and spend a Saturday afternoon there - you won't be disappointed!

Best meal I've had out in ages. I had the ribeye steak which was cooked well, although slightly under seasoned (that said, I'd rather it be that than over seasoned). The football was on and candles were lit on each table, which made for a nice atmosphere.
I assume this pub has a good 'locals' trade as there were a few men eating on their own and the bar staff had a goo rapport with cutoners at the bar area. Service was good and my food arrived quickly despite being told there may be a delay.
In summary, a 'proper' pub with good food. I shall certainly eat here again.

One small recommendation would be the introduction of a desserts menu, as I didn't see one there? Just an idea.

Fantastic Pub....great Beer and terrific Food....Don't miss out it really is the BEST Pub in Eastbourne and offers a great experience...eating/drinking or simply having a great time!

We ate at the Crown & Anchor a couple of times whilst staying at the Travelodge. On first glance it looked like a locals pub but we soon realised it was a mix of locals & visitor and everyone was made to feel welcome and the pub itself felt very cosy with candles on each table. The food was great! I had Sausage & Mash the first time we ate which was lovely, great selection of vegetables too, & my partner had one of the burgers which he really enjoyed. The second time he opted for the burger again as he'd enjoyed it so much the first time whilst I decided to have the Roast Beef. I can honestly say it was the best Roast Beef dinner I have ever eaten out! Mmmmm! It was all very reasonably priced too but far superior to chain pub meals. Thank you for making us feel so welcome!

The crown and anchor was a really nice pub, there is a large tv showing the olympics, a good selection of drinks (speckled hen always goes down well!) and the staff were very friendly. We sat out on the path on one of our visits, it was really nice to sit and people watch. We stayed at the Travelodge which is about 100 yards along the road, so it was really convinent for us and the best pub we found it Eastbourne!

on Saturday night (14th July) on the way home from France and calledin at the Crown and Anchor for a drink - we were amazed and extremely pleased by the warm
