My husband and I visited during a day out in Eastbourne on 7th May 2025.<br>The service was incredibly friendly and helpful. The food was tasty and fresh, and the vegetables were cooked perfectly (still crunchy, as they should be!). And there was a reasonable choice of beers (we prefer ales and IPAs) and a great choice of wines.<br>Perhaps slightly on the pricey side but all other boxes were ticked!<br>We highly recommend The Crown & Anchor! ⭐

2018<br>Two minutes walk from the hotel my family and myself were staying at, I had read the positive reviews and thought why not.<br>The waitresses were super helpful and friendly, the food was good and the real ale was great<br>We was allowed to stay till 9pm with my nine year old daughter, we had a lovely evening<br>2023<br>5 years later, I can't remember if it was a Greene King pub back when first visited, but this must be the flag ship of the chain, because the food and drink is nothing like a Greene King pub I've ever visited. The food and drink is just as good as I remember it the first time<br>2025<br>Sadly the food wasn't as good as previous visits, really disappointed as I've always looked forward to coming back

I’m on a solo getaway from London and had the pleasure of dining at the Crown and Anchor both yesterday and today. The food has been absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. A huge thank you to the chef for such delicious meals!<br><br>I also want to give a special shoutout to Tara, who has been incredibly sweet and kind. Even though she seemed to be managing the pub on her own, she was welcoming, attentive, and brought such a lovely energy to the place.<br><br>Truly a wonderful experience—thank you so much!

So, this place is a little unassuming. A Greenking but without some of the bits. Ordered the lamb shank and to be fair, I was not expecting much from it! When it arrived, I didn't even take a picture. But what an explosion of flavours. There was something made with leeks that was stunning. Everything was amazing. A really good experience. Thank you. Your team did you proud.

Stopped here for lunch before hiking to Beachy Head.<br><br>I opted for a Turkey roast dinner which was really good - felt like a homemade roast with lots of veg, roast potatoes, creamed potatoes, Yorkshire and a pig in a blanket. Great value for money!<br><br>We were sat in a very quiet part of the pub - a 2nd area of the main bar, which was pretty quiet and took a little bit of time to get served.<br><br>Overall a really nice pub and would defo recommend for a roast on Eastbourne.

Went for Karaoke<br>Waited for ages<br>Seems that the friends get preferences<br>After several complaints we were not selected to sing our songs.<br>Also I have had to complain about the flat lager and after a year it is still the same!

Extensive food selection (almost too much ?) so could cater for all tastes. Great service from the friendly staff. Food generally good and promptly served - the only slight complaint was my belly pork was slow cooked but tougher than I would have expected. Still tasty though.

A Greene King pub on the seafront close to The Queens hotel. Back in the early 1970's and still at school I worked part time at the Queens. We would come here for our breakfast break. A pint and a game of darts. Still got two dart boards. Games room also has large TV's. ( Oddly nit here 50 yesrs ago!) Deric ( Flat Eric's cousin from Blackburn) making a rare day out with us. Treating us to an excellent GK breakfast and coffee. Opens at 10 am. Four real ales usually on sale. A popular community pub. Free wifi. Function room, outside patio. Deric had a half of Harvey's Sussex Best for old times sake. Very good.
