We recently had a really pleasant 2 night stay in Eastbourne. On our first afternoon, we went into this pub for Sunday lunch and it was absolutely delightful. We had 2 veggie roasts, one pork, one beef and they were all delicious. The server (really friendly guy from New Zealand) was great, as were all the staff.
We enjoyed the food so much, we went there for dinner on the following day, but they were fully booked, so they opened the upstairs area for us which we were really happy about. Once again, the food was great - they have so much on the menu to suit all tastes (veggie/vegan/gluten-free) and it all seems to be home-cooked too. The cheese and pepper quiche was lovely.
The only drawback is that they allow dogs inside the pub - we didn't realise on our first visit that dogs were allowed inside, but on our second visit, there were dogs close to where we were eating. I do like dogs, but don't really want them nearby when I'm eating. But the pub does have signs outside which state they are a dog-friendly pub. (We probably wouldn't have eaten there if we'd seen the dog-friendly signs on our first visit). Overall, (dogs aside) food great, staff lovely and prices reasonable.

Four adults and two children came for a Saturday lunch for the first time yesterday. great choice of food and the atmosphere in the pub was most welcoming. This was mainly due to the staff who dealt with us, Cara, Matt, and Jannis. We chose a delicious crispy pork dish, steak pie and a wonderful prawn seafood dish. Everything was cooked to perfection. The children's meal were very good too and priced very cheaply. the writer of this review made a mistake with her coffee selection which was immediately replaced by Cara. In all a most memorable experience. thank you. We will return.

Good little Greene king pub. Got really busy Saturday night with the live band but can't hear the band very well from the main bar which was a pity. Meant the crammed pub got hotter and you didn't even get the full joy of the entertainment. Came during the day and we enjoyed it much more.

Popped in here for tea after completing the SDW and we were in need of some good food and plenty of it. We weren’t disappointed, and we had Vegetarian and a GF amongst us. The service was a bit slow but they were very busy and we were in no hurry and it was a Friday night.

This place has one of the best menus with a diverse selection of meals along with an amazing vegan menu and gluten free options. Not to scare the meat lovers because the burgers & steak here are excellent. They also have many vegan drinks options including a vegan mocha that was absolutely incredible. The vegan dessert are also great.

Started off with a friendly welcome. Throughout the meal staff looked after all customers dealing with their needs and giving great service. The meal was amazing (best sausage and mash I’ve ever had). A very good selection of Gins ! Couldn’t of chosen a better pub to start the holiday.
