Absolutely lovely. Staff were great. Food was great. And a nice atmosphere.

Really nice place! Izzy was fantastic!

Good place to watch sport but need to book to watch sport and was told fully booked for next day but could chance a walk in so didn't bother otherwise would have gave extra star

Food very average, service good and atmosphere low key

Had nice Sunday lunch here and returned Thursday evening after a so so dining experience (elsewhere in a highly rated restaurant) to have desserts & coffees here where we were warmly welcomed by the fabulous serving staff here, they really care and are keen to help which was a relief considering the service we had just left elsewhere. They have great Vegan options here and the staff can advise you knowledgeably as a good deal of them are vegan theirselves. Thank you girls you are all amazing!

I can always vouch for the delicious food in this establishment. It's good quality ingredients that are cooked to perfection. I have ordered many times on just eat and always had great deliveries and have now had the pleasure of eating in. Great staff and friendly atmosphere. Highly reccomend.

Drinks were good & reasonably priced. Food was excellent!

Just back from the seafront. A smashing pub, cask marque, good beer (Green King) and some super food, vegan menu was a welcome surprise and made wife very happy. The food was good with generous portions, service smiley and welcoming. Covid precautions taken and nicely integrated. I would recommend.

Nice pub with an extensive menu for vegetarians and vegans. Good selection of beers on tap. Service a bit slow but friendly. A decent pub option if you are by the seafront and hungry. Would recommend.

Food very good , very helpful staff value for money.

We visited on a Sunday afternoon after a family member booked during the day.
The pub is pretty much on the sea front. We arrived and was directed to our table. We ordered drinks and was given some time to make a selection. There were multiple menu's including a Vegan meal. In our party orders were Ribs, Burger, Fish and Chips and Pie. All the food was of a good standard. We would happily eat here again. I had the burger and tried some of the ribs. The burger was nice enough. There was a beyond burger option which i believe was £2 more expensive. I was a little dissapointed as at that price point it seemed a bit excessive (I enjoy meat options but also like to substitute where possible) I could not quite understand the price differential.
The comments about the pie were positive and the fish had a nice crispy batter.Service was good and friendly.
Other than the afore mentioned pricing on the beyond burger I felt that generally the food was reasonably priced,There were covid measures in place although there seemed to be a bit of a free for all with the one way system with people ignoring the signage.

very friendly professional staff, well organised and bustling. Happy to have dogs in. Well kept beer, food 50/50, Friday night ribs & lamb shank, excellent; Sat night lasagne and stilton burger, awful; starters both nights - Thai prawns and BBQ wings, excellent. Good live music too.

Great food and service. Staff were very welcoming. Big portions!

Had the Sunday roast. Really, really good. I definitely recommend this place. Sorry I didn’t take any photos it was that good.

Very good service and really good food - 2 days in a row!

Having spent a few days in Eastbourne we decided to try the Crown & Anchor for a meal. Upon arrival we were greeted by friendly, welcoming staff who quickly seated us at our reserved table. I noticed they were very obliging to some other diners who requested to change their given table and staff swiftly re-santized their original table.
I ordered fish & chips which were plentiful, piping hot and delicious. My husband opted for the steak & ale pie which came with fresh vegetables comprising mash, swede, leeks, broccoli and carrots. He chose ice cream to follow whilst I couldn't resist the Biscotti cheesecake with raspberry coulis. However, I was very let down and disappointed when a soggy, room temperature vanilla cheesecake with blackcurrent coulis was plonked in front of me! I can say no more about this desert for fear of being rude!

Good selection of proper beers, very attentive staff, plenty of of seating, pub grub style food. Nothing bad to say about it, but nothing out of the ordinary - would use again if back in the area

Great food!

We stopped off here to have some lunch and although it was busy a table was found for us.
The lady took our four orders but when the food arrived only three meals were brought. I asked the young waitress if another meal was coming. However she just looked at me blankly and did not speak a word before walking away. The cutlery was then brought over and again there was only three sets. The young waitress again was asked but no response was given. Had she spoken to someone we may not have been in the position we ended up in.
As soon as I could speak to the lady who took our order to explain the situation my husband and two grown up children had started to eat their meals. The lady said she would go and find out what had happened but was stopped on her way to check by a customer. When she eventually came back to the table she said that unfortunately my order somehow had not gone through to the kitchen. The lady said the chefs would make my meal as soon as possible. However I advised at that point to cancel the order and that I was happy to share the three meals as it was lunch time and there was plenty of food. My husband asked for another plate and cutlery but only a plate was brought! The lady again said the chefs were rushing my order through and again I asked her to cancel the meal. At least two more times I was told the chefs were rushing my order and again I repeated I had asked for it to be cancelled.
Sure enough when everybody had finished eating and we were ready to pay out comes my meal! I advised another young waitress that I had cancelled the meal and again no words were spoken before she turned and left.
This was an unfortunately incident where my meal wasn’t ordered and I fully accept these things happen. However, although the waitresses are young they need to be at least slightly customer friendly and aware and if nothing else to actually report back to another member of the team. If this had been done initially we would not have experienced as much of a delay and I would have enjoyed my meal. Just before leaving another lady came over to explain the lady who continually repeated that the chefs were rushing my meal was new.
We had understood and was amenable to sharing the three meals between four, we were not upset or angry as these things happen and we just accepted it. However the whole incident could have been handled much better, ie not to be ignored twice, for a plate and cutlery to be brought and the meal to be cancelled as requested at least four times. As it was the whole incident left us frustrated, embarrassed and on edge.
The food we did have was nice and in particularly the vegan non-chicken wrap.

My wife and I stopped here on our way back to our hotel and we were extremely impressed. The beer was top quality as were the staff. We are in our 60's and were really pleased that a young member of staff came up to our table and asked us if we were enjoying ourselves and has our experience at the venue been pleasurable. That's great customer service :-)

I just wanted to have a wonderful Saturday outside London and I decided to visit Eastbourne. We decided to have lunch at The Crown & Anchor because it’s a Greene King pub. I had a lovely burger which was delicious, but the salad it was not washed. I am not making a drama of it! 😉.<br><br>When the waitress came with bill, my boyfriend asked if we can use the 33% Greene King discount voucher and we get a “NO” answer and “ this is not a Greene King pub”. I was very disappointed, just because everywhere you look at that pub is a GREENE KING sign.<br>I didn’t want to make a big issue but I didn’t feel good ☹️.<br><br>Thank you “Blondy” for the service but next time, when you are not sure about something or it’s to busy - ask you supervisor to help.<br><br>See you next time 😉

Great food and good beers

Booked a table last minute. They were very accomodating and let us choose a different table once we had arrived.(more room)<br>The food was of a good quality, generous portions, fair prices, friendly staff, good service. Couldn't have asked for better. Great pub food :)

They closed the kitchens very early so I wasn't able to try what I feel was a very limited menu.

Good food, quick service,nice people
