Working in Eastbourne area and found this place glad I did nice and friendly staff good choice of ales and the food 😊👍will definitely have to come back 5*

Visited The Crown and Anchor today. Excellent food and really nice staff. Lovely pub atmosphere. Can recomend the ham, egg and chips and the boston burger, followed by a delicious home made jam sponge and custard. Well worth a visit and we will return.

Very nice. Live music regularly, good food, on the seafront main road. Busy!

Ate here for lunch and had a few drinks. I had a brie and ham toastie which was delicious. Friendly staff, good value for money and nice interior. Great location just close the seafront and pier. Would loved to have visited in the evening where I saw live entertainment was going to be on! Hope to visit again!

This has got to be one of the better pubs in Eastbourne. The staff are all so nice and the food is pretty good and reasonably priced. I had the lamb burger which was very tasty. Good range of beers and regular live music. Have visited most years in my annual trip to Eastbourne for Airbourne.

Just returned from a weekend in Eastbourne and visited this pub for the three nights we were there. Long time since I have been in a pub as good as this one. Great atmosphere and really friendly and welcoming staff, treated everyone young and old equally. Entertainment was really good and overall the pub had a good feel about it. Well done to the manager and they should be real proud of the good job the staff are doing.
Will certainly return to Eastbourne and this great pub.

They done a great job of make is pub great. Good food, beer and bar staff l would recommend this place for a good meal if you are on the sea front.

Staff were very welcoming, service was quick, pub was clean and food was reasonably priced and delicious. Would definitely go back there again.

Ate here during Airbourne and despite being very busy, the staff were brilliant. The chef should be congratulated for his meals and presentation. So happy, i returned 2 nights later and again a very pleasant meal. All staff seemed to be working very well together.

Lovely Sunday roast pork dinner

Spent the night in Eastbourne on the 10th and had a great meal in the Crown And Anchor, I must also say the service by our waitress "Alice" was the best I have had in years.
Will definitely return when I return to Eastbourne Well done

It is a nice place for drinking with your friend, with a lively terrace where you can drink looking the seafront (only until 22:00), and a cute style inside where you can enjoy dancing o lr talking even playing pool. It is more expensive than the other pubs adjacent, but it is not a bad idea if you want to try someplace different.

Super friendly staff made is feel at home. Great food and drinks! No complaints...went back for seconds! Both nights we enjoyed our pub food with continental flair and friendly lively atmosphere.

Really friendly & attentive staff. Nice meal (macaroni & cheese and scampi & chips) at a reasonable price.

The crown and anchor is a good choice if you want a nice meal and a drink the bar staff are very attentive and so professional

Mixed feelings. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The bottle of wine was reasonably priced and the food portions were large. My only gripe - and it is quite an important one - my fried fish was nearer to burnt than cooked - definitely overdone - so not a great day for me. Some you win. Otherwise it seemed a very good pub.

We have visited this pub twice now while on overnight stays in Eastbourne. The pub has a very friendly clientele and good music I think three nights a week. If you like a lively time go !

Relaxed and friendly

Great selection of drinks and food

A colleague and I were work in the area and stayed in town .
came across this pub have a beer and Chat with staff member Emma . We did not stay as we tried other pubs.We returned the following days as it was by far the best pub we came across.
Very friendly staff , great Real ales , and great food.Cant recommend it more highly ...

We were pleased to have found this "local" when we visited Eastbourne overnight last Wednesday as the road that has all the restaurants had been taken over by "Black Widows" bikers, (Every Which Way But Lose / Any Which Way You Can). The menu seemed good and the prices looked ok but the main attraction was that there was plenty for my veggie wife to tuck into who was looking forward to the Seafood Platter while i was looking forward to tucking into a well done but juicy Rib-Eye Steak.
We ordered Garlic Mushrooms for starters and for some reason they bypassed those and brought out my Steak first so i sent that back. Never mind, mistakes happen. The starters turned up 10 minutes later and wow, what a size. There was enough for both of us to share. In fact we could have offered them around the pub. It more than filled us up though and we asked for the main in about half an hour but they arrived 5 minutes later anyway. Never mind, mistakes happen.
My wifes' Seafood Platter looked lovely and she certainly enjoyed it, however, my "Rib-Eye" Steak, it was definitely not. Even a bad one will have marbelling edible fat running through it which you can't even see when it's cooked, but I've never had a Rib-Eye Steak with thick inedible gristle running a centimetre all round one side.
I cut it off and eat it anyway as i was hungry but this did confirm it was not a Rib-Eye.
I wasn't going to say anything but the waitress asked so, well i made my thoughts known, politely of course and to be honest i wasn't expecting anything. She went off and came back and said the manager offered a free drink but we were leaving anyway so i said well if there's something on offer i would rather have reduction in the bill. She went off and came back again saying the manager was also not happy with the butcher that morning and the state of the steak and said there would be no charge for it.
Naturally i accepted but i had to ask, if the manager wasn't happy with the steak in the butchers, and didn't buy it? So i asked how and why it ended up on my plate and she didn't know. I said it was because they didn't want to lose sales and were hoping people would eat it without saying anything - which i almost didn't until i was asked.
Other than that it would have been a perfect experience and we will go back there again - but i think i'll go for the Seafood Platter next time or ask to see the Rib-Eye Steak before it's cooked.

Four of us stopped off for a lovely pub meal with a great location. Pub food was quality at an affordable prices.

Just visited the Crown and Anchor after a long day of sight seeing. Amazing food. Fantastic server. Quick service. 1 wine, 1 pint, 2 kids meals, 3 entrees = £35. Food is delicious and plentiful servings. Quiche of the day was yummy, and Mac n cheese was creamy and tasty. Both entrees came with salad, coleslaw, potato salad, and the quiche came with a potato side dish as well. Highly recommended.
