Lovely atmosphere, great food, with good vegetarian options. I would definitely recommend the vegetarian platter. The portions are very generous and it was nice to be able to bring dogs into the restaurant area. We were also asked if the dogs would like a bowl of water which was nice.

Great night out with good food, proper beer, great service by the staff, good atmosphere and I even enjoyed the Karioke! Certainly beats the hotel restaurant.

I was with my partner and dog and wanted some were eat. This was the only dog friendly place. It is a realy cosy English pub with sports bar. The service was good staff were helpful and had some fantastic specials. The portions were good sized and not over priced. Have been back a few times. I would recommend it to anyone in the area.

We wanted somewhere to eat lunch and watch the England vs. Ireland rugby match. I found this pub on the Sky website and decided to give it a go. There were plenty of screens for us to watch and we didn't have any trouble getting a table. The staff were happy, polite and efficient, the food was served promptly and was really good value for money - good old ham, egg and chips done really well. I would definitely go back.

On our first visit it was a Friday evening so was busy but did find table to eat in the Sports bar! We did move when the band was setting up to another part of the bar fearing that the music would be too loud and it was!

We have visited this excellent public house many times, always good food whatever you choose. The staff are warm and friendly even though they are constantly busy they always make sure they check your food is o.k. And you have everything you need.
We do recommend the lamb shank meal very tender meat, with a large selection of lovely cooked vegetables.
Look forward to our next visit to eastbourne.

Had the opportunity to visit yesterday. Pub was busy, but we stayed most of the later afternoon into early evening.
The staff were polite and attentive, asking if they could help, if we needed anything, if they could get us drinks etc...etc....We saw lots of food being brought out and decided to eat later in the evening, the dishes we had consisted of fish and chips,chilli con carne and a rustic warm baguette with prawns....I must say all dishes were superb.
I would definitely recommend this hostelry for food and drink and excellent customer service....

Went here late lunchtime, hoping to miss the crowds, it was still very busy though, the staff were excellent and very attentive, looking at some of the food coming out, it looked very good. When ours arrived it was equally as good, would not hesitate recommending this pub and will be returning.

After reading the good reviews about the Crown and Anchor, we decided to visit for an evening meal. A brilliant decision on our part! The service and food were so good that we ate there daily during our four day stay in Eastbourne!

Lovely old fashioned pub had a great time. Reasonable prices compared to the seafront which were vert expensive.

We decided to go to this pub on seeing the reviews from others. I am always a bit wary but have to say this pub is brilliant. The food was lovely, the service brilliant and its family friendly allowing children up to 9pm. We can't recommend this enough, we ended up going back two nights in a row because it was so good!

We went here on a midweek afternoon on a rainy day. Not too busy but still occupied - perfect. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and the decor was clean and comfortable and conducive to relaxation. The staff were very friendly, helpful and attentive, and the food was just wonderful. Better, in fact, than most of the 'posh' restaurants I've been to.
Portions were huge - if we'd known they would be that big we wouldn't have had the starter (although that would have been a shame as it was also excellent), but staff will happily arrange a "doggy bag" for you. Good choice of starters and mains, can't comment on desserts as we were far too full to even think of wanting a third course!
We had fish pie, deliciously creamy with proper home-made mash and cheese topping. The side vegetables were the perfect complement and someone had clearly thought through flavours and textures - crisp and fluffy roast parsnips, mashed swede, leeks in a cheese sauce, carrots and fresh savoy cabbage all cooked to perfection with as much care and attention as the pie. A far cry from the usual pub-food offering of some over-boiled and clearly-unloved tubers and legumes peremptorily dumped on the side of the plate.
Nearby parking is limited but it's well worth a short walk. It's very close to the sea front as well, if you are on a day out, and the pier is not far away.
This is the first time I have ever been moved to review anywhere, but they completely earned it.
We will be making a bee-line for the Crown and Anchor next time we are in town.

We here on a Saturday evening and there was a good mix of people. The food was very reasonably priced, good portion sizes and tasted yummy!
There was a band on; which was very good. They also had rugby on earlier in the evening.Our only recommendations are to open doors/ some sort of ventilation as it became extremely hot when the band was playing - so hot that we left a little earlier than we had planned.

Had a short break here with my wife and ate her the first night. Food was good and great range of real ales as well. Weather was lousy though but that's nothing to do with the pub.

I visited this boozer whilst recently on a short break in Eastbourne & would definitely visit it again when I next go there. The staff are friendly & very professional. We didn't have to wait long to get served. If I lived here, then I would make this pub my regular drinking place.

pleasant but can be rowdy especially on weekends, the better pub is down the road a little. Why always so noisy?
