Crown & Anchor
Latest Reviews
Visiting Eastbourne for the first time, we booked Christmas Day lunch at The Crown and Anchor. Apart from the meal, which was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere in the pub was great and all the staff were friendly, good-humoured, efficient, in fact, everything one would want of a good pub and good place to eat.

Come here on a regular basis. Atomsphere is brilliant, and the food is just as good. Good bar for watching the sport. The pool tables, and dart board are well maintained. Can be loud/busy on a Wednesday as it's student night but doesn't hinder the service you get. Great all round pub!

This seafront pub has a lovely cosy and warm atmosphere. A real fire crackled away near to our lunch table. There was a comprehensive and varied menu, excellent choice of ales and wines, live sports channels and beautifully decorated for Christmas.
As this Pub was close to my Hotel I frequented on several occasions. Highly recommended

We had a very rasonably priced meal her which was plentiful and of good quality and served by friendly staff. The only drawback was that we were too late (8pm) to get a table in the restaurant area and had to sit in the pool table area which was not conducive to eating.
There was a small range of real ales which were very tasty.We visited in late December just before the pub was due to close for a refurbishment.

We went to this pub for dinner while we stayed overnight in a hotel around the corner. The atmosphere was great as were the staff who were very friendly and efficient. We had fantastic typical pub meals which arrived very quickly. They were very substantial serves at a good price. After eating in a number of pubs and restaurants over the past two weeks of our holiday, the Crown and Anchor rated the best.

The Crown & Anchor is a fantastic pub - don't judge it by the first image when you see it. They made our weekend away.
Saturday night was live band night and it was a great night. The band "Me, Myself & Her" did some great unique covers and kept us there all night.
Food on Sunday was great, well done to the kitchen and bar staff.

The pub is wonderful the food is amazing. The bar staff are lovely, my wife and I visited Eastbourne for a night and decided to eat in the crown and anchor we stayed in here for the whole evening there was a fantastic band on as well. We spoke to the landlady who informed us the pub will be getting a total refurbishment in 2015. We will definitely be returning again for another night soon.

We didn't eat in this pub but that was down to time restraints as the food looked really good. Atmosphere was good and pity we could not stay for entertainment.

We came here for our Christmas party , we had the room upstairs , the bar staff were attentive and the waiters were the same ! The food was fab, proper home cooked food ! We couldn't fault it ! Then after we went downstairs to an 80's band which was brilliant ! I would recommend this pub for a good meal and a good night out ! Thank you to all the staff for making our night great !

We found this pub after being disappointed with our hotel bar and our only regret was that we hadn't found it sooner. Friendly staff and a lovely guest beer (Olde Trip). Sunday night was Karaoke night which is not my cup of tea but it was a really great evening. We didn't eat there but the food looked good. Will visit again the next time we go to Eastbourne.

We were in Eastbourne for a long weekend and called in to the pub for a evening meal. We were immediately made welcome. The Belly Pork from the specials menu has to be the largest and most tasty meal I have ever eaten. The two following nights we walked through the door we were recognised and greeted like locals. Excellent food exceptional staff enjoyable visits. I recommend you visit.

Having completed the final leg of the South Downs Way, a party of 13 descended on the Crown and Anchor for a pre-booked lunch. What a superb gem on the seafront to the North West of the pier. We were met by friendly and helpful staff who served us with a welcoming drink. We had a variety of absolutely delicious main courses ranging from turkey pie, to chilli con carne, liver, scampi, fish and chips, lamb shank, lasagne and a couple of other dishes at the end of the table which I couldn't quite see. All were served piping hot and with very good presentation. The desserts were good wholesome pub ones. The jam sponge with cream was a great hit, as was the chocolate fudge cake with choc sauce. We can thoroughly recommend this excellent pub with a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, serving value for money food.

Went on a wet Sunday night for dinner, as had heard some very good things about the food here, and we were not disappointed.
Huge portions, great quality and fairly reasonable priced too.Waitress was very pleasant, as was the chef who bought us our meals.
Most of us had roast beef and roast chicken, all beautifully presented and had all the trimmings.Would definitely go again.
We left before the karaoke started around 8.30pm (not our thing) and the only negative point was the strong smell of bleach when we walked into the bar. It was so strong we thought we may not be able to stay but eventually it seemed to go. Lovely pub, lovely food and great atmosphere.

This pub serves up some of the best food we have had in along time you really need to be hungry to get through the portions they are huge.

We popped into the Crown and Anchor for lunch in a recent visit to Eastbourne. It was friendly and welcoming, and easy to settle down into to while a couple of hours away. The ales were excellent, and I especially commend the Hogs Back T.E.A. that they had along with a number of well-kept guest ales. Food was very nice. The ‘Homemade Traditional English Pie of the Day’ was Turkey and Ham and served with an amazing selection of vegetables and roast potatoes. It was like having a roast dinner! All in all, very good and we wouldn’t hesitate to visit again.

After drinking in this great pub on many occasion we finally got to have our first meal here, we had an early evening meal.
As always the service was very good, food arrived very hot, I had the crispy pork which I had with chips and veg, I had no complaints it was all cooked to perfection and very tasty, on the other hand my wife went for a cheese burger, now the menu states that the chef makes this from fresh, I must say it did not look like it and looked very much like a standard formed burger,
We would eat in here again but would not have a burger which just did not hit the spot
The beer, wine and service is always good in here and the bands add to a great weekend night out.
From what this pub used to be like it has certainly improved for the better and is a great venue

Went here for an evening meal while staying in Eastbourne. Welcomed on entry by a member of staff and nothing was too much trouble - given a taster of real ale to check it was to my liking. Menu was extensive and we both enjoyed our meals very much - they were very good value and the vegetables were cooked to perfection (for my taste - not over cooked!). Ale was well kept and a good choice - may have been lucky as they had a choice of 6 from the barrel - as just before the beer festival. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. Although part of pub chain this Pub offers far more than others I have experienced in the group. Well done to the Crown and Anchor staff who strive to make it like the "local" and where you are a person and not just another number! You deserve to be supported!
Would recommend if you want good food and drink at a reasonable price!

We were staying at a nearby hotel, York House(separate review) and arrived late around 2:30 pm and this was only pub open for food and drink. We are from USA and wanted our first pub meal. But what a surprise with the tasty food they serve. Obviously, they have fish & chips but I had the lamb shank and it was great. My husband had the fish and chips and the chips portion is so huge so I got shard that too.
I have to add a great beer selection too. It was too cold so could not enjoy outdoor tables.
