Just had a good atmosphere. Menu looked good at a reasonable price. Didn't eat here as we'd eaten at hotel but looked and smelled pretty decent.

Heard good things about this place and had been there previously for drinks so decided to try the food. We went on a Wednesday early evening and it was a bit like a youth club with the bar staff and their friends (customers) mucking about, the table we sat at was dirty and we had to ask for it to be cleaned. The service was good at the table the food was reasonable but a bit over priced, I had lamb shank that was obviously microwaved pre packed food with choice of mash or roast potatoes so went for roast which turned out to be 3 x Aunt Bessie frozen type not real roast potatoes. Couple bits of veg and that was it. Wife had the vegetable lasagne which she enjoyed.
The place is so much improved and the owner has done a good job, think my meal was £11.95 should have been £8.95

Went here for a drink after our walk along the promenade & ended up staying for dinner.
There was a good selection of food for both adults & children, was just hard to pick what to eat!
The service was very good & quick, I can imagine it gets busy here at times though.
We didn't have to wait too long for our food & it was all very nice, I had the scampi with sweet potato fries & salad. Hubby had half roast chicken, chips & peas, our boy had the children's cheese burger & our girl had the chicken nuggets. We all enjoyed our food.
I would recommend a visit here, the atmosphere was nice & the toilets were clean.
Lovely after a nice day in Eastbourne.

Friendly staff, decent food, and good surroundings. Far better option than any of the greasy chip bars in the nearby area...

Lucky for us we were within easy walking distance of this Pub. On both nights we ate there we enjoyed the live music. Friday night was going to be particularly busy with a 'big band' so we booked a table downstairs. The food was excellent. On the first night I had the pork. It was so delicious and I nearly cried because the helping was so large and I couldn't finish it all! On the Friday night we had a ball watching the locals jiving to the music while we enjoyed our dinner. The Crown and Anchor Public House ticks all the boxes.

We ate here following a recommendation and we were not disappointed. The tastiest pub food I have had in a long time. I had the smoked haddock florintine and is was amazing. Piping hot, great portion size and seven different vegetables. My partner had the belly pork and again just amazing. Friendly service and a good selection of ales. Well worth a visit.

Sample their tasty menu and enjoy a drink in the real pub atmosphere on offer from their lovely staff. Four of us recently sampled their lamb shanks, always a hit, steak cooked to perfection and the tastiest red pepper quiche. All generous portions that meant even our biggest eater couldn’t quite finish his pudding! If you’re looking for a function venue, small or large parties, or Christmas parties, most successful for our work colleagues the last couple of years, check out their newly decorated room.

Found this establishment by accident, just minutes from the Pier - first went there just for a drink, plenty of staff so no long wait to be served. Saw some of the food brought out to other customers so thought I'd visit on another day to eat. Excellent food, even on a Monday night the pub was busy. At weekends there is also entertainment. There's no secret to running a good public house, where some pubs struggle, this one thrives.

We always visit the Crown and Anchor when on holiday in Eastbourne. The staff are friendly, the food is consistently good quality and excellent value. The interior of the pub is lovely and the general atmosphere is pleasant. Our dog is welcome too! We will return and recommend.

Pricey but reasonably good.
Atmosphere is good. Ales are good. Food is OK. Location is ideal! Opposite the sea and in town so very close to numerous decent resteraunts and bars! Not a bad pit stop to.meet before the night begins.

Eating on your own can be quite a challenging event but in this pub (recently under new management) it was a very good experience; the young staff were very attentive, giving me my meal before other tables, kept asking if I was ok; the food was really good and very good value.
The new manageress was very on the ball, checking all the time that her staff were keeping focused.I went back the following evening, just the same, but with a great live music duo, to entertain.
I would definitely go back next time I'm in Eastbourne!

Ten of us, six adults and four very young children descended on this pub on the Saturday lunch time of the Bank Holiday week-end. The staff could not have been more accommodating or friendly. The food was good value for money and the beers were superb. Highly recommended!

Booked here pre a show at the hippodrome busy Saturday night but still the staff were efficient and friendly.
Meals really good we all enjoyed our choices, freshly cooked and nicely presented didn't wait ages but long enough to know it's done well. Good value will enjoy going back again word to the wise portions large. Although we didn't take our dog on this occasion it's great to see that if walking and wanting a drink or meal we can come here and enjoy good food and nice surroundings also loved the TV screens for the footie.

This is a lovely, well run pub/restaurant, just off the Eastbourne seafront. Has a lovely black lab that welcomes you! We popped in for a late morning coffee/drink and were made to feel very welcome. The breakfasts looked lovely -and I would imagine it gets quite busy at night.
