Latest Reviews
Booked here on the reviews on trip advisor. So glad we did. We rarely get chance for a roast dinner and hadn't eaten all day so booked for an early evening meal. The staff were so friendly and welcoming despite already having a very busy day. The roast beef we ordered came very quickly, closely followed by the the horseradish sauce. We had ordered gravy on the side as I am very fussy as to what it touches on my plate but this was not at all a problem for the staff. The vegetables were truly delicious and plentiful, the beef gave my teeth a bit of a workout but was very tasty. We ordered dessert which was homemade and my husband enjoyed the crumble and custard immensely. I had the cheesesboard as not a sweet fan, and for once the cheese did not outnumber the biscuits but were in perfect ratio. The stilton was delicious and the grapes a nice accompanyment. All the staff were very friendly and hospitable and I look forward to visiting again.

Called in this lovely pub to use the toilet and stayed for several drinks. Didn't eat but everyone around us did. The food looked and was presented nice by the hard working staff and I would definitely eat here. The place had a lovely atmosphere and ambulance about it. Will call again

Nice proper old pub.
Large portions of food, which is a refreshing change, and for very good prices.
Avoid the wines though!

I discovered this pub by accident, just looking for somewhere to eat. Since then I've been back many times and took some friends visiting the area. I drive from Surrey to Eastbourne for a day out and go for lunch at The Crown & Anchor.
I usually order the steak but my friends ordered other dishes and were quite happy. There's always a table available during off-peak times but it's better to book one in busy periods.

Came here with my boyfriend for a Valentine's Day meal - we booked in advance and had a beautiful table set out for us with roses and candles, lovely atmosphere.
The workers were all very welcoming and very attentive!
I decided to have the starter sharing platter for my main and I was very pleased! A little bit of everything, perfect variety. The ribs were to die for, the meat fell off the bone and each one was delicious! I definitely recommend these!
We stayed at the Shore View hotel which is literally across the road and I'm so glad we did as we may not have visited otherwise.
Thank you for a fab meal! We would definitely return if we get a chance :)

Popped into here after eating out in Eastbourne. This pub is nicely decorated. The staff are friendly and so are the locals. Had a beer in here with friends and were very comfortable. Although we didn't eat, the menu on the board looked very nice.

Feel really terrible that my last visit to this place was years and years ago when it certainly wasn't like this!
Had read recent reviews and as it is literally down the road from me decided to go for lunch with a friend.
Lovely menu with something for everyone . We both chose the cottage pie which came with vegetables on the side and a mini jug of gravy . The portions were fantastic (one of us was given a doggy box to take some home ) and it tasted divine. You could tell it was home made and not bought in .
Not the cheapest pub food but it's not ordinary pub grub and it certainly is worth going there .
Decor is nice, we sat by an open fire . The staff today were two lovely girls / ladies who couldn't have made us feel more welcome .
Definitely going back.

We were going to eat here but weren't blown away by the menu, however the staff were exceptionally friendly and the drinks were fair priced. We enjoyed the use of pool table, dart board and juke box. I also personally liked that it was dog friendly!

Dropped in to try out the fish n chips as we always call in here and once again, were not disappointed.
Pleasant meal, variety of beers available, decor in good order and clientele full of fun as they were gearing up for a karaoke evening.

In Eastbourne for a few days, found this splendid pub. Friendly staff and great pub food. Husband says they know how to keep cask ale, (a sign a good pub) The Old Speckled Hen beer was good. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the ladies loo! So many pub loos are neglected. These were spotless and well supplied. Well done Crown and Anchor for keeping up the tradition of a fine English pub and maintaining such high standards in all areas

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.

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.

We Visited the pub for a family meal tonight and the food and service were excellent. This is our third visit within the last few months and we will be coming back again soon.

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.

I can't really say much about this venue as I have only been there once. That was for an engagement party in the function room which was up a flight of stairs. Couldn't see any disabled access to this area so had to climb the stairs which wasn't easy. Staff were very happy & helpful on the night.
