This pub was once a horribly dated waste of space. It always had such enormous potential and was a beaut of a pub waiting to happen. Finally, it was taken over by someone with the skills to see it fulfil its potential!
I can honestly say The Crown & Anchor is the best pub in Eastbourne. It's full of atmosphere and buzz; fresh, clean pints and homely pub food. The decor is reminiscent of some of the finest London station pubs with its stripped floorboards and clean finish but it remains cosy and comfortable and being the closest pub to Eastbourne seafront, endless events and posh upstairs function room, it has it all going for it. Go and spend a Saturday afternoon there - you won't be disappointed!

Held a party in the upstairs function room, great sized bar area, perfect layout, all but everyone commented on the quality and size of the buffet, the staff were friendly and accommodating, could not have asked for a single thing to be better. Returned on mass for a lovely breakfast the morning after. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thankyou Heidi and all your lovely staff.

We have just been to Eastbourne for the weekend and stayed in a hotel next to the pub. We spent Friday night enjoying a swing band and having a lovely meal and a thoroughly fab evening thanks to the great staff who make you feel really welcome. We shopped Saturday but made time to go back there for lunch and then again in the evening for dinner and again and enjoyed a cover band from the eighties. I also have to mention a lady called Philomena. It was her birthday and she was a joy to watch on the dancefloor in the evening in her "onesie" laughing her head off which in turn made us laugh. It all made for a great evening. Well done to all the lovely staff.
Love Helen and Martin

I travel to Eastbourne twice a. Month and always visit here. Food is really nice and the beer is good.
They have a tendency to employ really attractive bar staff! Can be really pleasing on the eye.

Having booked for a trip, was pleased to find this quaint pub close to our hotel. Beer very good, atmosphere friendly. Was delighted that they had tv events to watch.

The Crown and Anchor did my roller derby team's Christmas party, and have hosted us for other functions, and their hosting is great. They put us on an amazing spread for a reasonable price, catering for a range of dietary requirements and there was a great atmosphere for karaoke afterwards.
I'd highly recommend it, particularly for their delicious food!

We came here for a Christmas party for our roller derby team. Our party consisted of 25-30 people who are a mix of omnivores, veggies and vegans. The food provided was fantastic, the veggies and vegans were having to defend their food from the meat eaters as it was so good. Heidi and her staff were brilliant, really took care of us and we followed our meal with dancing and karaoke late into the night. Definitely going to become our regular party palace! Can't recommend enough :)

Dropped-in for a quick drink on a cold January late afternoon. lovely warm spiced cider, comfy seating. Pub was welcoming and full of character (and a few local characters!). Menu looked good, and reasonably priced. Unfortunately we weren't able to stay for a meal.

Spent the afternoon in here, lovely atmosphere with nice staff. Very comfortable and very popular, have learnt never to judge by outside appearances.
