Crown & Anchor
Latest Reviews
This place was recommended by people we met on the Pier as we had been lamenting the lack of gluten free food in the area. They said it was very popular and we may not be able to get a table. We went early, before 5pm and did manage to get a table. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. To our surprise there was an actual menu with lots of choice for starters, mains and even more amazing desserts (it’s usually a brownie or ice cream). After having had to go through a laborious list of allergens last night this was such a relief. I felt normal for once! The food was wonderful. I managed most of my two courses. My sister struggled, but was given a doggy bag to take back to our hotel. Not being outdone, I ordered two desserts for us to take away. I am so impressed that I would definitely come back next time I come to Eastbourne. We may even try The Alexander Arms (sister restaurant) next time as well! 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What an enjoyable evening!

We found this friendly pub by chance last year, and we were keen to return on our second visit to Eastbourne. The atmosphere is very pleasant and relaxed, and the food a cut above the usual pub fare. The waiting staff are cheerful and attentive. Highly recommended.

This place does the most amazing Sunday roast, especially the pork belly, although you will probably need to book a table and there will be a wait. A nice pub, right near Eastbourne pier :)

They were extremely busy and in fairness although asked could only accommodate us at the correct booking time (arrived and asked for earlier). We were warned that due to the business, food orders would take approx 45 minutes delay but starters would be earlier. However our starters did not emerge until 20:45. The food was quite good and very reasonably priced. However as previously experienced with is chain, do not go to when they are busy as you will experience long delays. Although we arrived early, we were not allowed to place our order thereby bypassing the delay from actual booking time. Poor Poor service.

I recently visited as part of a large group. Everyone was pleased with all three courses, the quality was excellent. Staff were efficient and pleasant, nothing was too much trouble for them. They fed us all in a short time,on 2 separate occasions. Be warned ,they do not stint on the portions, you will need to loosen your belt.

Stumbled across this pub whilst checking out the pier and ended up coming back both nights of our stay. Great live music each night (fri & sat) with a great overall vibe in the pub. Really busy both nights but the staff we really quick with drinks and super friendly. Would recommend!

Their vegan menu is a must try! I got the vegan sausages and mash and I was very impressed with the rich flavours. They have an extensive vegan menu and if you’re only in Eastbourne for a day, this is the place to visit.

First time visiting The Crowne and Anchor, food was lovely and tasty and bar service very good. Only slight downside was the kitchen as the food orders seemed to be quite slow at coming out saying that the whole atmosphere was very pleasant and friendly and we will pop in again for food and drinks.
