I visited the newly refurbished Crown and Anchor on Valentine's evening with my wife and we were both delighted with the evening. Although I have visited the pub a couple of times to drink this was the 1st time I had eaten. I had a delicious homemade burger, and my wife had the Lamb Shank. She said "it was the best lamb shank she had ever had" we asked how it was cooked and were informed it was slow roasted in real ale for 5 hours, Mmmm nice! They were obviously much busier than expected, but kept us well informed and very well plied with drinks all evening so it actually made a nice change to sit down in a warm, friendly atmosphere and have a great conversation with my wife over a bottle of bubbly!! We then finished off the evening by going downstairs into the bar and watched a really good live band. Then even after I had been steeped in real ale for 5 hours, I managed to show the wife a brilliant dad dance!! (wife didn't think so, strangely??) Excellent evening & highly recommended*****

We had our annual works do at the crown and anchor a couple of evenings ago. It's the first time we have chosen this venue as we usually go to Brighton. There were 15 of us who all enjoyed a great meal and were very well looked after by the staff who couldn't do enough for us. There is a really nice sports bar area with darts and pool and our night was topped off when an awesome 3 piece band set up....brilliant !!
Great beer, friendly atmosphere, highly recommended *****

Had meal here 7th Feb 2015 before going to The Hippodrome Theatre to see the Three Degrees. I ordered the lasagne and it was enormous.It came with 4 pieces of garlic bread,salad and in a dish big enough for 2 people.My Husband had the scampi with chips and our male friend had the steak and they were well pleased.My friends wife had jacket potato and that came with salad and that was very good to.The pub is very busy with several tv screens and a separate bar with a pool table. The service was very quick considering how busy it was because of the Rugby and football that was on..Would definitely eat here again.

Have been to this pub a few times. Last went here 8th Feb for a meal. The food was really nice. Recommend the garlic mushrooms for starter. Good place to watch sport as well.

We visited on Saturday 7th Feb and had the most amazing night out for a long time! We were down for the weekend and were so lucky that the pub had reopened after its refurb. The pub is so friendly - not cliquely at all. We were made to feel so welcome. We had the most delicious meal - roast belly of pork with roast potatoes and vegetables. Everything tasted amazing. The vegetables were glorious and roast potatoes were superb. My partner had the lamb shank which again was delicious. The portions are very generous! Really fresh and tasty food. We stayed for the band 'the gangsters' and danced the night away to ska beats! Thank you!

Went back to Crown & Anchor today after they had been closed for a few weeks, for a refurb.
I was hoping that it wasn't going to change too drastically and thankfully it hasn't.The same cosy feeling is still there,as is the excellent food and the open fire.
The crispy pork belly with roast potatoes and veg is my all time favourite, but none of the mains have disappointed.A good range of beers too.
Highly recommend 😁

Eaten here many times as its close by, shows football, reasonably priced and most of the food is really nice.
However, some of the staff are rude, often get your order wrong or wait 30mins to tell you that what you ordered has run out!? Best meal is sausage and mash and worst is roast beef on a Sunday as it's always dry.

Visiting Eastbourne for the first time, we booked Christmas Day lunch at The Crown and Anchor. Apart from the meal, which was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere in the pub was great and all the staff were friendly, good-humoured, efficient, in fact, everything one would want of a good pub and good place to eat.

Come here on a regular basis. Atomsphere is brilliant, and the food is just as good. Good bar for watching the sport. The pool tables, and dart board are well maintained. Can be loud/busy on a Wednesday as it's student night but doesn't hinder the service you get. Great all round pub!

This seafront pub has a lovely cosy and warm atmosphere. A real fire crackled away near to our lunch table. There was a comprehensive and varied menu, excellent choice of ales and wines, live sports channels and beautifully decorated for Christmas.
As this Pub was close to my Hotel I frequented on several occasions. Highly recommended

We had a very rasonably priced meal her which was plentiful and of good quality and served by friendly staff. The only drawback was that we were too late (8pm) to get a table in the restaurant area and had to sit in the pool table area which was not conducive to eating.
There was a small range of real ales which were very tasty.We visited in late December just before the pub was due to close for a refurbishment.

We went to this pub for dinner while we stayed overnight in a hotel around the corner. The atmosphere was great as were the staff who were very friendly and efficient. We had fantastic typical pub meals which arrived very quickly. They were very substantial serves at a good price. After eating in a number of pubs and restaurants over the past two weeks of our holiday, the Crown and Anchor rated the best.

The Crown & Anchor is a fantastic pub - don't judge it by the first image when you see it. They made our weekend away.
Saturday night was live band night and it was a great night. The band "Me, Myself & Her" did some great unique covers and kept us there all night.
Food on Sunday was great, well done to the kitchen and bar staff.

The pub is wonderful the food is amazing. The bar staff are lovely, my wife and I visited Eastbourne for a night and decided to eat in the crown and anchor we stayed in here for the whole evening there was a fantastic band on as well. We spoke to the landlady who informed us the pub will be getting a total refurbishment in 2015. We will definitely be returning again for another night soon.

We didn't eat in this pub but that was down to time restraints as the food looked really good. Atmosphere was good and pity we could not stay for entertainment.

We found this pub after being disappointed with our hotel bar and our only regret was that we hadn't found it sooner. Friendly staff and a lovely guest beer (Olde Trip). Sunday night was Karaoke night which is not my cup of tea but it was a really great evening. We didn't eat there but the food looked good. Will visit again the next time we go to Eastbourne.

We were in Eastbourne for a long weekend and called in to the pub for a evening meal. We were immediately made welcome. The Belly Pork from the specials menu has to be the largest and most tasty meal I have ever eaten. The two following nights we walked through the door we were recognised and greeted like locals. Excellent food exceptional staff enjoyable visits. I recommend you visit.
