It isn't often you can visit a place three times in three nights and say you have enjoyed the meals EVERY time !
On the third occasion we invited friends, everybody had different meals, and everyone was delighted by the standard of the food. The chef has a very imaginative menu so even the bog standard "sausage and mash" was a success.This was not my first visit, having been there on a few previous occasions, and every time the standard and choice has been excellent.

A great little pub just off the prom in Eastbourne. A good selection of real ales and a menu with a good variety. The food is excellent, large portions and cooked to perfection. It can get very busy, it has live music Fri/Sat nights.

Cannot fault food, which was excellent for all 4 of us.
However service severely lacking.2 meals arrived very quickly, well presented and well cooked.
Unfortunately 2 did not :-(Upon checking with the staff it appeared the two outstanding meal orders had not been actioned.
Duty manager apologised and when we pointed out that 2 of our group had finished their meals we were simply offered the option to cancel :-(Not realistic as we still needed feeding !
Discount or a drink would have been a more positive solution.Great food but service means unlikely to return.

My family and I ate here 4 times during a 7 day stay in Eastbourne & the food was always tasty and well cooked (apart from a quiche with an uncooked soggy bottom). The young bar staff could be a bit more attentive and less interested in preening themselves. The white wine was never properly chilled and when we complained to young woman behind the bar she suggested we put ice cubes in it! I suggested they served it chilled at the correct temperature and was given some ridiculous guff about health and safety. If you're charging £4.75 a glass it should be chilled and not luke warm or put enough in the wine chiller & keep it properly re-stocked.

A great find! Great choice of food from the menu and specials board. Friendly staff, plenty of them and all very polite and welcoming. Nice to have table service, great band playing in the next room, an enjoyable evening.

We were happy to find that food was still being served at 2.15 pm on a weekday at this pub situated near the pier. The real ale ('Old Trip' on this occasion) was very good and the chilled Pinot Grigio was fine. Our fish and chips were very reasonable priced and very good: crispy batter, chunky white flakes of fish, plenty of salad garnish, a generous portion of chips all accompanied by a wedge of lemon and tartare sauce. The service from both bar staff and kitchen staff was very friendly. Boards were advertising live music on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 9pm.

We searched for somewhere to eat that wasn't a hotel and found the perfect place, it was so good we walked back there every night of our stay at Eastbourne. The food is fantastic especially the homemade chicken pate, all the staff were very helpful and friendly, it was sometimes hard to find a table as it was always full up because its so popular, but we didn't mind waiting it was that good.

First visit there tonight. Fantastic staff and the food was great. Good size and value for money. My daughter who's 6 wanted ice cream but there was a half hour wait as quite rightly the food order is placed in a queue. I couldn't wait for half an hour so told my daughter we would have to go. She was a little upset by this. The lady behind the bar then went and did the ice cream herself to ensure my daughter got her beloved chocolate icecream this was fantastic service. We live a 20 minute drive away and will definitely be going back.

Whilst on holiday in Eastbourne, visited this pub for a meal in the evening. Enjoyed the food, but felt that I was rushed through my meal. Could not relax. First, of all, found a table, but it was dirty, so one of the barmaid came with a dry cloth and wiped the table. Not hygienic at all. And then whilst we were eating our meal, she kept walking up and down and keeping an eye on us on our progress. As soon as I had the last byte in my mouth, she rushed over and with a smile "have you finished sir?" While I was still chewing my food. I looked around and every table, the same thing happening. Just want a quick turnaround! Please improve your hygiene and clean the tables properly & let us enjoy the good atmosphere in the pub.
