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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 !
