Fantastic from the outside. Certainly sticks out in the crowd. A traditional old style pub. Very roomy and bright inside. Great staff. Very friendly. Ordered food while we were here. Had the prawn starter. Must admit, small and a little overdone battered prawns with a sweet chilli dip but they were well presented and tasty. Bar lady with dark hair came over, asked if everything was ok and took our drink order. Bought it to the table and checked on us again a while later. All we then had to do was pay our tab at the end. Which was great. Not sure if this would happen if they were really really busy. Even so she was friendly smiling and welcoming. Nice little area outside that seems very secluded. Only saw a quick glimpse of this on my way to the toilets. They were showing the rugby on TV when we were there. Really liked it here. Would definitely visit again.

Hadn’t been in here in over 20 years since it was a ‘spit and sawdust’ type pub where you could guarantee a lock-in. And then yesterday a friend was down in Eastbourne and suggested we go here for a couple of drinks.
So it’s generally clean and the bar service was friendly and efficient. We decided we’d have something to eat as well. Pretty decent menu selection, reasonably priced. And daily specials on the black board.
The food was decent - never going to be haute cuisine if you’re having pub grub - but was nice and served hot and reasonably quickly
Overall not a bad place and I’d happily go back. The only thing I’d suggest is avoiding a football game night if you want a decent chat as it got pretty busy later on. They also have a decent variety of events in the place too, judging by the information boards around the pub.

Popped in for a quick lunch. I had a cheese sandwich which was OK, my partner had a ham sandwich but all the ingredients could have been bought from Tesco round the corner. The small scoop of homemade coleslaw was nice.

Just arrived home from the Crown and Anchor, we've become frequent visitors for food but if there are any more experiences like this afternoons, we will stop visiting.
Some customers were EXTREMELY loud, which on its own may not have been so offensive but the language!!!!!! every other word was "effing" no consideration what so ever for other customers in the bar, trying to enjoy a nice meal. The young lady behind the bar, did at one point ask them to lower the noise but was unsuccessful. Thought they had ditched the ´spit and sawdust` type pub :(The food though, was once again very good, tasty, plentiful and well presented.

Never judge a book by it’s cover. Went in to watch football (Liverpool were playing Roma) and so didn’t expect much more than the drinking pub it appears from the outside.
Decor is tasteful. Staff very welcoming. As well as multiple screens for those who want to watch sport (sound turned down) there was a vibrant friendly atmosphere of customers participating in a quiz interspersed with DJ playing great music.We also ate from an extensive menu. My partner enjoyed a very well presented steak meal. I had the best macaroni cheese meal I have ever had.
Highly, highly recommend on all counts.

I took a group of 12 people for a trip to England and found this pub on the Internet for a typical lunch. Everything was organised by mail and when we arrived, it was a very warm smiling welcome, a big table was set for us, the food was very typical and excellent; very large portions (too big actually, we coudn't eat anything for dinner). We had a lovely lunch and the whole group was enthusiastic about that place.
