Had last Saturday such an amazing dinner. The staff, food, restaurant is amazing. As a starter I had the croquettes with pumpkin and cheese. This was really good and really plate presentation. I choose for the main course for the Surf and Turf. A sirloin steak with lobster. This was brilliant! The lobster was amazing with the garlic butter and the steak was the best I had ever. Such a good quality of meat and fresh.
We had a lovely evening many compliments to Hardy & Jordan and staff.

Decided to call here for Lunch on a recommendation and so glad I did. From the moment I entered the restaurant to the moment I left the whole experience was top notch. Was told about the Inedit Lager made by Estrella which is amazing stuff. Had the Sirloin steak cooked to perfection at Mid Rare as I requested. Quality food and staff what more can you ask for. Will be back soon to sample the evening weekend action!

A hidden gem in the heart of Eastbourne. A small cosy restaurant tucked away in the basement of building. Set down a small flight of stairs, the entrance then opens into the restaurant area. The menu is small but you understand why with the quality of food served. Extensive wine menu (as it was a popular wine bar previously). Steaks are a total winner, plenty of sizes and choices. Tender, full of flavour but cost is a little higher than most places. Staff are friendly, attentive and knowledgeable with the wine choice and menu. Certainly worth a visit if your visiting Eastbourne or just a local. Bookings highly recommended.

We were bought vouchers to come here and it came highly recommended.
We were not disappointed, what a fabulous place. Not only was the food great, the service was exceptional. Not over the top but friendly, cheerful and helpful. The wine list is great and the sommelier was happy to recommend. English wines on the menu too, with not too much of a mark up which is rare to find.
Will definitely be returning and will definitely be recommending ourselves.

Once again, another excellent visit to Cru. A group of 12 work colleagues booked for afternoon tea on a Friday afternoon. On arrival we were greeted by the lovely Megan and shown to our table, which was beautifully decorated with marble effect tea cups and saucers and matching serviettes and teapots. We all ordered individual teas from an excellent selection on the tea menu. The milk was brought out in quirky little bronze milk urns. We were absolutely mesmerised when the selection of open sandwiches, blinis, cheese scones, traditional scones, macarons, pastries and glittery brownies came out in bird cage stands and decorated beautifully with edible flowers. Our whole group thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. Some of us had prosecco also, which really complemented the food. I have had numerous afternoon teas, and Cru is up there with the very best of them. I would even go as far as to say it is THE best I have ever had. The service, including regular top ups was impeccable. Thank you so much to Jordan and Megan for looking after us all and making a special afternoon extra special.

I came to Cru for Valentines, we had such a lovely evening, the staff, the atmosphere and food were amazing. The oysters were exceptional. Best place in Eastbourne by far. The whole vibe of the restaurant was great. Will definitely be back.

Valentine evening. Needed to be personal but we were crammed in. Table far to close. Music quite loud but exceptional.
Food was very good and the service good once we had started. I feel for the money, I would have expected more space and enjoyed the surroundings. Shame as so much good to say but the evening on a special occasion was destroyed by have to many table close together

I would suggest avoiding this place when busy as you will not be able to hear yourself speak let alone the person you are with. I have to say that the staff were all really friendly and helpful. We found the food to be average but very overpriced. Our meal cost £150 for three people, starters, mains, one pudding and a bottle of wine. If you are wanting a quiet little place for a romantic dinner or a catch up with friends, then the noise factor is a real issue.

We have often enjoyed a nice bottle of wine at this venue but recently extended this to dinner. We both enjoyed our steak which was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Followed by really tasty cheese and biscuits. It is really great to find good food, good service and a great friendly atmosphere here in Eastbourne. Long may this continue.

We were introduced to Cru by our 2 dear friends whom had been here 2 or 3 times before.
We were greeted at the bar, served our drinks and shown to our table by a charming waitress.The ambience was warm and lively on a friday evening and the owner came over and gave us his undivided attention choosing the wine. This guy knows his wines, and I would recommend putting yourself in his hands when choosing.
My first course of linguine with clams prawns & chilli was delicious and the 56day Sirloin that followed was perfectly medium/rare and one of the best pieces of meat I have eaten.Service was excellent, food was sublime and atmosphere warm and friendly.
What more do you want?Eastbourne needs this restaurant and more in the same vein.

We had lunch in Cru during our weekend stay in Eastbourne. I have to say the food is more exceptional than many of the restaurants we had in London. The staff was very considerate for our gluten free requirement, the lady offered to go outside to get gluten free pasta for us, and then the chef offered to change the pasta to risotto. We are very impressed with the service provided.
