Our second visit here and being on Boxing Day the Christmas decorations were still up. The staff obviously take a lot of care as the whole pub was very tastefully decorated and with a roaring real fire looked and smelt beautiful. The food and service were spot on and this will definitely be our first call on our next Eastbourne trip.

Found this pub on the corner of our hotel and the Parade. It's a cosy Greene King house with pleasant staff and helpful locals. We had a power failure while we were there but, after supplying tables with candlepower, the staff continued serving the lovely ales by torchlight until the power restored. The meal we ate later was fairly priced, more than ample and excellent tasting. Will definitely visit again before we leave the town.

We fell into this Greene King pub to get out of the rain and boy are we glad we did. The staff were friendly and beer knowledgable. The locals were helpful with directions around the town as well. After about an hour there was a local power failure. Staff quickly rallied and provided candles for each table and then, unperturbed, carried on serving by torchlight. After the power was restored we ordered food and when it came it was pleasantly presented, more than ample, fairly priced and tasty. The pub is about 100 yards or so from the pier and on the seafront so couldn't really be in a better location but was still cosy and had plenty of available seating. We will definately visit again before we leave.

Visited on a Tuesday night, ordered the Lamb Shank.
The staff were very pleasant and chatty, the TVs in the main bar were muted but you couldn't avoid the sound from the 'Sports Bar'.The food was very average, the Shank tasted too much of mint as did the roast potatoes which were rather soft. The mashed swede was watery but the creamed leeks and roasted carrots were nice.
Home made apple crumble & cream for dessert, nice crumble and lashings of cream but not much apple flavour.

Lauren, who planned our reception, was so helpful from the outset and we found every member of the team there were prepared to help and be flexible with food and logistics.
A really first class service at a time when that's what you need.
I recommend to anyone wishing to hire function facilities, and to anyone using the main bar area. Food, drink and the welcome is exceptional.

We grabbed a quick, family meal in late evening. The staff were friendly and made us feel welcome. We enjoyed our food and, after a long day's travel, our couple of beers/wines. a good menu was available

I've eaten here once before for lunch. Again this time the staff were friendly and pleasant. Choice of food is good and portions are plentiful.
It's a good pub to visit and is consistently good on all levels.

Had Sunday lunch today for mother-in-laws birthday.
Everyone's food was hot, well presented & excellent with a good selection of veg with the meals.Menu was ok but the selection off the special board catered for all tastes.
Young staff very polite & efficient. Would recommend and will come back again.
Worth booking a table in advance as it was very busy.

Here in Eastbourne for a two night weekend break. Checked the reviews before booking a table here. Great reviews. Lovely home cooked meal, good live entertainment and very friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Could do with something like this closer to home.

We ate here on 18/11/2016 for evening meal, we ordered a platter to share, The food was well presented, came out quickly and tasted very good. We stayed and had a few drinks.
They had a live band on and the pub had a very nice friendly atmosphere.The bar staff were friendly and efficient.
We enjoyed our time in the pub so decided to come back for breakfast the following day.The food came out reasonably quickly and on the whole was very good.
However the Tomato sauce that was brought out was inedible.I have never had the misfortune of tasting any illuminous red goo as bad as this stuff in my life, it was disgusting. It had the consistency of watered down kids paint. and the colour like it had been made in a nuclear power plant.
Luckily they had HP Brown sauce.The rest of the breakfast was nice.
We spoke to the waitress about the sauce and she said she was going to tell the people in charge.We came back in the evening for a few beers and to watch the Footy and ended up staying the until late.
Again the bar staff were brilliant, even though the pub was quite busy they were quick , efficient and very friendly.I hope the boss appreciates the quality of there staff as we visited 3 other pubs in the vicinity and did not get good service.

Nipped in here for a pint early doors as my hotel was full of partying pensioners, saw the menu, saw the food being served and decided to eat here instead.
Beautiful food and well portioned and presented. Lovely warm pub. Staff and locals friendly. It gets boring working away but this pub more than makes up for it. Recommended.

Booked a table and was glad we did, Saturday night and the place was buzzing. Ordered at the bar and starters turned up, followed by mains without undue delay. The food was hot tasty, and the staff helpful and polite, asking if we needed anything else. Yes they were trying to promote business, but If they work for my money, I am happy to give it to them, other places should take note.
Will be going back
