Went down for a weekend to do the Beachy Head Marathon. Stayed in a hotel next to The Crown & Anchor. It was a great pub with great food and beer. It was decorated for Halloween and the staff and customers were dressed up in costume. The atmosphere was fantastic. It certainly took my mind off the achey legs after the race.

Great pub, excellent Sunday dinner, although the portion sizes seem to have been reduced. Also great for weekend live.music, although having this upstairs would be much better, there really isn't enough room downstairs and it gets too crowded downstairs when bands are on.

A local pub welcoming strangers. Great menu, good range of drinks including tea and coffee. The decor is fresh and modern, and there s an open fire. There was no loud duke box or games machines in the lounge bar, there was however a pool table and dart board but we didn't venture in there. We had a sumptuous evening meal, but they also serve breakfast and lunch. Interestingly we were staying at the Shore View directly in front of the pub, so it was useful!
Great value!

Thoroughly enjoyed our first visit and was so impressed with everything we came back the next day! Staff are lovely and treat visitors and regulars equally well.

Visited Eastbourne for our Anniversary weekend . The Crown and Anchor is a detached pub right along the seafront a couple of minutes walk from the pier. We were welcomed with a smile by a member of the bar staff on the Friday night and realised what a lovely local atmosphere we were part of . It was Friday and a live 80's tribute group were playing so what a great sing along we had! We went back on the Saturday and had a lovely meal , great selection ; I opted for a prawn salad with warm (mmmm) crusty bread and my partner had burger with sweet potato fries which I sampled too and both meals were superb, we noticed the ribs being served to a table nearby and I must say they looked delicious . Different band on again tonight and again, very popular! This pub was awarded Pub of the year and you can see why. Looking foreward to returning and of course it's ribs for me next time👍

Here's a find. We were welcomed by the friendly (and efficient) Roz from behind the bar. The hand pulled Old Speckled Hen, on form and most satisfactory. We decided to eat and when we asked if we could have a quick meal at a table reserved for others later were advised that we could. We decided on burgers as we figured they would be a quick option and they turned out to be excellent, actually, not excellent, outstanding! we have travelled extensively throughout the United States and in fact lived there for a number of years.... this meal was BETTER than most of our experiences in the self-proclaimed burger capital of the world and was a credit to the meat supplier and the chef of this establishment. Try for yourself and see if you agree. Regrettably we were only in Eastbourne for the weekend so did not have chance to try other options from this menu or the specials board, but we heartily recommend this pub for good beer and great food. 9/10.

Great food and very friendly staff. They have live bands during the weekends and during the day it is a cosy warm family pub with home cooked quality food.

Great interior. Prices for deinks were really good. Two pints for about seven pounds. Food was really great. We had two burgers, bangers and mash and a rustic warm cheddar and onion sandwich. Very tasty and great prices.

Just what we needed after walking from Seaford to Eastbourne. We had a delicious Lamb shank, burger and apple crumble - all served by very friendly staff who were very accommodating by packing up the remainder of the desert to-go. Overall lovely dinner and would highly recommend!

Nice staff and prompt service.
Barman brought a bowl of water out for my dogs without me asking, always a plus in my book. 👍

We went in to have a couple of Beers before going to a restaurant it is in a good location on the seafront and not far from the town centre. The Beer is kept well and a good selection it is comfortable. I didn't have the food but what I see it looked good and plenty of it I will be going back to try it.

Dropped in for a drink as this pub is very handy being really close to the pier.
Drinks not too badly priced ( dearer than north of Watford Gap).Lots of customers were ordering food which looked reasonable.
-no one seemed to leave anything.- looked at the menu which has a wide variety of meals on offer.
- prices generally @ 10 pounds a meal. Pub has a small outside seating area at the front looking across the road to the beach.Nice when the weather is warm, despite the noisy road traffic.
Service was quick and pleasant.Worth a visit when passing.
