Called in this lovely pub to use the toilet and stayed for several drinks. Didn't eat but everyone around us did. The food looked and was presented nice by the hard working staff and I would definitely eat here. The place had a lovely atmosphere and ambulance about it. Will call again

Booked here on the reviews on trip advisor. So glad we did. We rarely get chance for a roast dinner and hadn't eaten all day so booked for an early evening meal. The staff were so friendly and welcoming despite already having a very busy day. The roast beef we ordered came very quickly, closely followed by the the horseradish sauce. We had ordered gravy on the side as I am very fussy as to what it touches on my plate but this was not at all a problem for the staff. The vegetables were truly delicious and plentiful, the beef gave my teeth a bit of a workout but was very tasty. We ordered dessert which was homemade and my husband enjoyed the crumble and custard immensely. I had the cheesesboard as not a sweet fan, and for once the cheese did not outnumber the biscuits but were in perfect ratio. The stilton was delicious and the grapes a nice accompanyment. All the staff were very friendly and hospitable and I look forward to visiting again.

Just had a succulent belly pork with freshly cooked seasonal veg and creamy mash. Who wants exotic cuisine when good old British fare is this good. I was full before the plate was finished but cleared it anyway cos I loved it. Staff were friendly and efficient, food arrived quicker than expected and, my pet hate when it's not done, my plate was cleared away smartly to top it all they keep a good cellar here too. I enjoyed watching the football but if that's not your cuppa it's not intrusive. In the short time I was there they impressed me hugely. I'll be back next time I'm in Eastbourne. Well done and thanks to bar staff and chefs. Cheers

We have visited The Crown & Anchor before and I must say it's has improved every visit.
We decided to go there to eat for the first time while visiting Eastbourne.
It was a very cold wet evening, however the pub was warm and cosy with just a few customers. The young lady that served us was friendly and helpful.
The menu was added to with a specials board. I ordered cottage pie which it said it was homemade with vegetables.
I checked what vegetables as some places only give you peas.
However when the dinner arrived it was definitely a homemade Cottage Pie, it was in a large dish and came with four different Fresh Vegetables!!! Wow I love veg and always have to pay extra for it.
My husband ordered Scampi and he said it was very good. There was plenty too
I would have liked to have desert but was too full, there were lovely deserts, rhubarb crumble , jam pudding, bread and butter pub and lots more.
The two guys working behind the bar / food were friendly too
The drink choice / price was good so will certainly visit again soon.

Staying at the 'York House' just down the road so this place was handy. Neighbourhood bar on the seafront with pool/darts/sports TV good service and burgers to savour ( tried the stilton burger , delicious ) . Couple of real ales but no craft lager .
Visited twice and will return

Stayed locally while working in the area and visited twice. Ate on both visits, lamb shank the first night and pork belly the second. Both meals were of good quality, served quickly and were reasonably priced. The beer is well kept and a choice of four real ales. The pub doesn't have a seperate restaurant area but doesn't really need it. There is a seperate 'Sports Bar' but this doesn't intrude even with football being shown and a darts match taking place.
There are a mixture of all walks of life coming and going but the atmosphere is friendly and comfortable.Parking in the evening is no issue but may be harder during the day, especially during the busier seasons.
Staff are very friendly but can at times be slightly off the ball but in general the service is good. The toilets could be cleaner but to be fair, i have seen far worse. The bar stools are well overdue a replacement or at the very least a good clean as they are stained and unsightly.Overall, a decent pub offering decent food and drink.

We were staying in the hotel just opposite the pub, and spotted it when parking the car.
After checking out the reviews ( which were mainly positive) we decided to dine there.Just to make sure we had a table, I phoned them to book, no trouble..
Good job I did as the place was pretty full.The pub had a good atmosphere about it and all the staff were friendly and accommodating.
Our food didn't take too long to arrive, and when it did, well the reviews didn't lie...We had two steaks, hot burger and sausage and mash.
All well presented and good portion sizes.We all enjoyed the mains and dessert so much, that we decided to book for the following evening....
This turned out to be a repeat performance.....EXCELLENT...10/10..

I don't know what the rest of Eastbourne ''s pub grub is like if this gets one of the best reviews on TA. It was just an average meal but value for money .
