We had visited here a couple of years ago and I’m pleased to say it’s as good as ever. I had the lamb shank and it just fell off the bone. My friend had the pie which was first rate. The veg with the meals is imaginative and well cooked. We had a side order of cauliflower cheese which I can recommend. This is not just a restaurant that serves beer but a proper pub where drinkers are equally welcome. In my opinion, this is a traditional English pub at its best.

My daughter and I went to this pub last night as we were staying nearby. This is definitely one of the friendliest pubs we have been to! Every member of staff was welcoming, chatty, helpful and smiley. The food was fabulous and plentiful! I wish we lived nearer as it would definitely be our go to place. Fabulous!

Went to the Thursday night pub quiz. All 6 of us all had great food. Service was spot on. Great atmosphere. Could hear the questions clearly (some pub quizzes are terrible). We've also been for live music previously, which is also always great.
Only downside is that the gents toilets desperately need a refurb and a good clean a lot of black mould higher up and there's only an old fashioned trough urinal and 1 cubical, so it gets a bit busy when the pub is full - I try to avoid using it while we're there if I can - still not a good enough reason to go somewhere else, so everything else must be good!

Staff couldn't be more helpful and friendly.
No sooner we entered with our family dog, staff offered help and showed us to nice table. We were waited on for drinks and food, with helpful tips and advice, which were all good. Excellent food, worth the little extra over some other local pubs.Highly Recommended.

This restaurant located near the seaside in Eastbourne, southern England, is definitely the ideal place to taste authentic and classic fish and chips as well as a variety of delicacies. In addition to a mouth-watering breakfast, there is also a diverse range of meals and beverages on offer, and of course, beer is an integral part of the menu.

Not only is the food here delicious, the service is even more impressive. The waiter's attitude is very cordial and friendly. He not only entertains guests warmly, but also recommends the best local food and authentic cuisine to guests. In addition, pets are also welcome in the store, making the entire dining experience more intimate and warm.

Our family had a great dinner time here. The seating space in the restaurant is spacious and the business hours are quite flexible, allowing customers to stay open until later in the evening and fully enjoy a wonderful dining experience. Whether dining or gathering for a chat, this is a charming and comfortable place. This charming waterfront restaurant is worth a try for both locals and tourists alike.

A lovely pub near the pier.

Even though it is a Greene King and you expect the chains to be very generic, this was made special by the tall guy who serve behind the bar and the meals. Lovely guy who really looked after us.

Plus, they have regular live entertainment.

Worth a visit if you are walking past.

Had an early dinner as we had booked the Royal Hippodrome, an ideal spot as very close. The pub is pleasant and the server we had was attentive, however the food was rather disappointing. We both had steak and ale pie - the beef was plentiful but the crust was soggy. I wonder whether it was heated in a microwave rather than a conventional oven. The vegetables were a bit greyish and washed out too. We then ordered the American baked cheese cake and no way was this baked but rather a strange texture. All in all rather underwhelmed!

Great pub with really great staff. Lunch was VERY tasty and didn’t disappoint. So many eateries in Eastbourne where their staff let them down but not here. You really feel they all want you to have a great time and go out of their way to ensure you get the food exactly as you want it. Excellent value for money. I’ll be back!

Really welcoming pub. Obviously very popular which is always a good sign. Pub food done exceptionally well. 6 very tasty meals served at the same time. Well presented and piping hot. Great staff as well.

Came for a meal last week with friends. Meal was great as was atmosphere but I found a smell of urinals within the pub at the top end where the toilets are. The bathrooms also need some attention especially with black mould on the ceilings, floors wet and slippy. If this area of the pub was looked at it would get a 5.

I decided to visit this pub on my solo trip to Eastbourne…
It is very close to the seafront which is lovely after a walk by the sea. The staff here seemed really lovely and were happy to help with anything

The friendly atmosphere lead me to eat here and chill and read with a drink. They offer a roast turkey dinner all week which is a huge positive and it was well priced and really tasty! I had to follow this with a chocolate fudge cake which was a little small but delicious!

People in the pub were also lovely so just high recommendations from me

Vegetarian options: There is various vegetarian options which are clearly listed on the menu alongside further vegan and gluten free menus

Dietary restrictions: They offer both a separate vegan and gluten free menu

Visited today for breakfast after spotting on sign outside they served breakfast. Had the full English with scrambled egg and it was delicious, beautifully cooked and nicely presented. Was great to have choice of poached, fried or scrambled eggs. The sausages were so tasty. 2 x sausages, 2 x bacon, fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, hash brown, baked beans and toast only £10.95. My daughter had scrambled egg with smoked salmon and toast £12.95. The price didn't include drinks but for quality and quantity we thought it was a good price.signage for breakfast outside would benefit from being bigger. We happened to park outside to go somewhere else and spotted it. So glad we did .Very nice staff . Will certainly recommend it to people
