We've been visiting here every Sunday for a few weeks because of the singing competition and we'll keep coming back when it's finished, too. Team behind the bar, led by Bella and Andrew, are polite and friendly, keen to make recommendations for food and make you feel welcome.

PS the steak and ale pie is epic!

This is a well supported pub. Great food with vegan, vegetarian and gluten free menus aswell as ordinary menus. Can reserve a table online. Cocktails served. Limited number of ales but reasonable amount of lagers. Staff and very friendly and helpful. TV available for sports aswell as a games room with pool table. Credit and debit cards accepted. Not wheelchair accessible. Has a fantastic log/coal fire. Very warm when sitting near to it. Well worth a visit.

Spent NYE here. Great atmosphere, very welcoming. Also came here on New Years Day and had a meal. The young bar staff were friendly and on the ball and the food was absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend 😊

Had lunch here with my friend and his wife, food was excellent value and well presented. This is a very busy venue, so booking is advised and recommended. My only gripe, as an ex-publican is the dated fashion of 'the bar stool brigade'.

Usually groups of men, who insist on blocking the bar for everyone else, who then have to negotiate the tricky minefield of bar room etiquette to get served. This is exacerbated when the screens are showing football!!!

But great staff, plenty of seating both inside and out and generally worth a visit.

UPDATE: I visited this venue on Christmas Eve 2025. Everything I commented on regarding my last visit remains pertinent. My only, slight issue is that as a disabled pensioner I found the lack of a grab rail at the urinals in the gents toilet quite problematic, especially given the quite deep step needed for access.

Finally, I wish to reiterate the kindness and friendliness of the staff, who have been amazing to me during this visit...thank you all.

HIGHLY recommended.

Superb food and good value. We all had burgers and an apple crumble for dessert. I'd put the burger in my top 5 ever! Service was friendly and our dogs welcomed. Thanks so much 👍

Crown & Anchor Restaurant Review:
Friendly service all around, especially from Ben the bartender. The atmosphere is relaxed, with televisions showing soccer for sports fans. The potato and leek soup served with a warm baguette was delicious. Highly recommend this place!

Always pop in here when we're in Eastbourne. Bit disappointed this time, November '25, as local beer (Harvey's) not really up to scratch, much better at the Victoria down the road.
Also, most of the tables had reserved notices in them, so felt rushed despite the pub being half empty.

Simply amazing! I don't often recommend restaurants or pubs, but if you are visiting Eastbourne please come to The Crown & Anchor. The food is spectacular. I came here twice in a row with my family and each time every dish has been stellar. The vegetables have still a bit bite to them, the meat is so tender it might melt on your tounge, the sauce is full of taste and the potatoes are simply perfect. The desserts are so scrumptious as well. I really fell in love with the place and can't recommend it enough. ❤️

We had a wonderful evening at The Crown&Anchor. Good food, a pint (or two) and lovely people. Accidentally, we stumbled into the pub quiz and it was great. What a night!
