Lovely location with very friendly and helpful staff, but drinks are a bit expensive. Very tastefully decorated and a pleasant stop for a drink.

Popped in to grab some lunch. Had the most amazing homemade burger and the skillet of ribs was huge! More meat than bones like most ribs on menus! Couldn't fault the food, just wish we had enough room in us to finish it all. The staff were lovely and helpful and we will definitely pop in to eat when we are next in Eastbourne!

Started well with a drink , ordered food not bad but when questioned one of the courses , was piping hot from the inside claggy and stodgy instead of crispy and creamy , asked the waitress was it microwaved she went off someone came back and said the chef said "no it wasn't" sadly it clearly was so the lie on top of the disappointing course made for disappointing evening ... better places on the front to eat !!

Simple and easy menu. Lots of specials to choose from too. We always get the ribs although once it was not up to the usual standard but was promptly replaced with no fuss. Kids also love the food here. Especially the children's roast which is exceptional value.

The pub is on the seafront and has outside seating as well as inside. It serves a good selection of freshly cooked meals.The staff are friendly and helpful and it has a traditional pub atmosphere which can be hard to find nowdays. We all enjoyed our meal. It is wheelchair accessible - however -be aware that at present there is not a wheelchair accessible disabled toilet. Our hotel was close so this was not an issue. We were told that a disabled toilet is planned.

Stopped here for a drink and ended up having evening meal . Starter was lovely and we were asked if we would like our main straight away or to wait which was nice .
Main course was enormous but delicious ! Huge portions . Waitress was fab and on the ball . Definitely worth a visit .

We really love this pub however come summer times we tend to go else where,we find year after year the chairs outside the front are really uncomfortable, very bad quality. It's such a shame because this weekend the Carnival is in town and as much as we would like to be at the Crown & Anchor, we will be choosing another venue.
If only those chairs were of better quality!

Came for the band. Very lively. Service was good. Drinks were a little expensive (but the band was free, so it's expected). Many people eating but I didn't, so can't comment on the food. Had a GREAT night.

A great little pub with atmosphere, locals meat here and it was nice to chat with them, we had a casual meal there which was very generous and tasty.

We'd been to the Crown & Anchor previously, so were expecting great pub grub.
Our orders were efficiently taken and the drinks were perfect, however, the food was on this visit disappointing.We both had fish & chips, and the batter on the fish was rather soggy and the chips soft and a little under-cooked.
We're not sure we'll be back .... a reputation lost on us !!

Great pub with good service and great music acts.

We saw Dirty Martinis who were very good everyone dancing and enjoying the great atmosphere.

Efficient bar staff and food looked great too.

I've been to many pubs in my life, and the Crown and Anchor is a normal, nice pub.
Eastbourne is a town close to Brighton, at the end of the Seven Sisters trail. The pub is a convenient location for a meal at the end of the long walk. I truly suggest it.
That said, well, it's a (Green King) pub! Enjoy your beer, the chunky chips and the friendly environment. The lamb burger was original and tasty.

Nice pub close to our hotel (Queens) Good selection of beers although a little dearer than my local in the Midlands. Did not have any food as we were on half board at our hotel but each and every meal that came by me looked delicious. If you are a sports fan then the is an area for you, pool, darts and TV

Whether you want a good pub meal or something more substantial, the food here is excellent. Staff couldn't have been more friendly as were the regular customers. Also very dog friendly.

This was our first visit to this Pub/Restaurant and the going was great. The place had a welcoming atmosphere with no kids running about unchaperoned like in Wetherspoons or the Carverys. There was no music or gaming/amusement machines either just good food and alcoholic drinks of your choice as well as espresso coffees.
the staff were very pleasant and welcoming. The food we had was delicious and in very ample proportions . The starters were plentiful we had Mushrooms in Garlic butter with garlic bread and Tempura Prawns.for the main courses we had a steak meal done to perfection and a Pesta Pasta dish. They have a great chef and my compliments to him. Can thoroughly recommend this pub, we will be back.

The function room itself is a good size with ample bar area for size of room with dancefloor and own toilets. Can also see the sea from it. The buffet that was supplied by the pub was one of the best buffets I have eaten (there has been a few). Proper cuts of meat, antipasta, prawns really top end food which was great. Service good and bouncers friendly. Ideal for a party.
