On a busy sunday evening this pub is somewhat noisy if you want to have a chat. We were there with a group of 4 friends. One of us has strict diet rules and the cook himself came from the kitchen to discuss that with her, that was good, and the food she got was just what she needed. I had a chili with rice. It was okay but the pepper was somewhat overwhelming. A bit of salad would have been nice. One of my friends wasn't too happy with her cod. As far as vegetables are concerned this pub confirms all the prejudices of the British kitchen. Peas, very big green peas. It was not bad but I have been in better pubs in England.

In Eastbourne lunchtime a couple of days ago, stuck for somewhere to eat, took a quick look at Trop Advisor and saw this place was close so thought we would give it a try. So pleased we did, friendly locals, great food, excellent value and efficient service, was def one the highlights of our visit. Give it a try, don't get ripped off eating on one of the hotels.

I visited here last year as was very impressed. Well, I'm back on the coast again to watch the Airshow and had another great meal here.
The pub itself is just across from the seafront and stocks a few ales from the greene king selection, as well as a guest ale. I had the IPA which was great. You can tell that the pub looks after it's ales.
For dinner I had the lamb shank and my wife had cod and chips. The food is served quickly and you can tell they care about the food as much as the ales. Great selection of veg, good quality meat and a large portion! My wife's fish was of the same quality- tasty batter and good portion. The service was excellent and the barmaids were working away happily.
All in all a nice place to be.

The landlady has done a reasonable job since taking over a couple of years ago in turning this place around. However, in the past couple of months the place seems to be falling apart. The performance of some of the bar staff in the last few times I visited is well below par - I think that perhaps some of the reviews on this site have gone to their heads. The newcomers behind the bar (in the main) should never have been employed, or should at least have been better trained, and the others that have been in situ for some time need to up their game if they do not wish new customers to take the same view as myself. Complacency is the kiss of death!

Great selection of food available, drink and food good value. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Great for an afternoon beer or an evening out. Entertainment on most nights as well. Only criticism is not enough outside space...Get there early!!

This is a great pub. We had our little dog with us so it was good to find somewhere that took dogs. We didn't eat there although the food looked good. Staff were really friendly. The entertainment in the evening was good too. We will definitely go back.

My family and I recently spent a weekend in Eastbourne and came across the Crown & Anchor directly next to our hotel. We had our dog with us so were delighted to find a dog friendly pub so close by on the seafront. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced and it was great to be able to have restaurant food as well as be able to take the pooch along without having to shut him in the room. There was entertainment every night and the staff were friendly and welcoming, we felt like locals by the time we left. Eastbourne and the Crown and Anchor has restored our faith in the Great British seaside and we will definitely be returning. Thanks to all the C&A staff :) x

We did not eat in here we went in to watch the rugby as our hotel was not showing it and as it was on early don't think they where serving food. Although we went back in the evening for a drink on the way to cosmo for dinner and saw people eating and wished we had of gone there to eat as well

I visited here on our holiday to Eastbourne. The drinks are reasonably priced for a sea front pub and the food's okay. I'd visit again.

Went here recently with friends to see a ska band and thought we would grab a meal as well. Every person in our group of seven said it was one of the best meals they had in a pub for value and taste. The band were brilliant as well and no waiting for drinks at the very busy bar due to lots of dancing staff !

Great Jazz played by a local band. Good crowd.

Food is okay but beer selection is very limited. The service is good.
