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 .

I had seen good reports on Tripadvisor, but a real pub right on the seafront next to our hotel... almost impossible! However, as is often the case, I was wrong. The Crown and Anchor is as fine a gastropub as I could wish to try.
Wanting something to eat, and being so close, it seemed the obvious place to go. The beer was excellent, and the food was tasty. But the best thing about it was the atmosphere: the staff were friendly and efficient, even after my card was initially declined - all was eventually sorted.As we were starting, a young man set up for a live music session. We had some banter with him, totally friendly (his guitar playing was reasonable, but his singing... but that would be a different review!
At the same time there was a football match on the TV at the other end of the bar, but there was no animosity between the two factions; they each got on with what they were into.All in all a good place to visit, though I have a feeling it could get very noisy in high season.

We had a family meal yesterday at the crown & Anchor and I cannot recommend it enough! I had the halloumi burger which was absolutely delicious and my husband had the roast which he said was the best roast he had eaten in years! (Not sure what that says about my cooking) The service was friendly and efficient and we had our 2 year old daughter who was made to feel welcome, would highly recommend! Great atmosphere and lovely decor!

I contacted The Crown & Anchor as I was looking for a pub in Eastbourne which was showing the Six Nations rugby and could cater for a party of 12. I explained to the lady on the phone that we were in the area for a special birthday and the finals of the Six Nations was going to be one of the highlights. She was very helpful, even walking into the bar to help her decide which was the best table to reserve for us.
We arrived with much anticipation and were shown to our table which had excellent views of the television. We ordered food which was of a decent quality and several rounds of drinks as we enjoyed the penultimate match as a warm up to the England v Ireland game. As we settled to down to watch the anticipated final the television channel was switched to show football. Much to our dismay all the other televisions apart from ours were still showing rugby. We spoke to the bar staff and were told some other people who were sat the other side of the bar in front of a television showing rugby wanted to watch a local football match so we asked if the two television channels could simply be swapped. This was refused and the manager told us in no uncertain terms that if we did not like it we could leave. I may be cynical but surely we could have been told this would be the case either on booking or before we parted with a considerable amount of money on food and drinks. Sadly as the pub was packed with people watching the rugby we had no choice but to leave and return to our accomodation to huddle around a smalll television in one of the rooms to watch what was left of the match. Such a shame that staff attitude has prompted this review which would have otherwise been quite positive.
