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.

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.

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.
