The meals were absolutely fabulous home cooking. The staff were friendly and helpful and the service was quick and with a smile.

We had been looking forward to eating in the Crown & Anchor on the Friday of the spring bank holiday weekend 2021, about 2 weeks after the pubs were allowed to reopen for indoor catering.
We had previously visited in December 2020 and enjoyed a great meal with attentive staff.On our repeat visit, the place was freezing with one door permanently open and the other door opening and closing every couple of minutes.
We waited and no one came to bring us a menu or take our order, although we had reserved a table.Eventually, I had to go to the bar and ask for the menus.
The menus were brought to our table but nobody took a drinks order and we had to wait until they eventually came back to take our food order and only then could place our drinks order.The food itself was nice, but we weren't given any serviettes or cutlery and I had to go to the bar again to ask for them.
After our meal was served, staff visited our table a couple of times to ensure that all was ok.The manager was very nice and helpful and was the same guy who we met in December, but the serving staff seemed very inexperienced and we were under the impression that we were witnessing organised chaos.
A relaxing meal it was not and we left after the main course and after only one drink as a drafty platform at a train station would've had equal ambience and warmth to the Crown & Anchor on that night.

Visited here on the first night of our visit and found it very smart with friendly, helpful staff where we all had a very nice meal. Worth a visit just for drink.

Great pub, covid friendly, excellent choice of food and wine. Recommend the veg roast (coming from a meat eater), friendly staff.

Spent a weekend near Eastbourne and visited the Crown and Anchor for an early dinner late on a Friday afternoon.
The pub was about half full and, although we hadn’t booked, they found us a table straight away.Very Covid-aware, screens around tables, staff in masks and you have to sign in on arrival.
The service was excellent. Our waitress (didn’t get her name unfortunately) was friendly and attentive and brought our drinks straight away, along with a treat for our dog Vinnie (the pub is very dog-friendly). The menu is not extensive, but varied, with veggie options.
We shared a baked Camembert to start, with warm crusty bread and caramelised onion chutney. It was excellent. We then had sausage, mash and veg and lasagne with garlic bread for mains.
Both very good, piping hot, nicely cooked and served promptly.Plates were cleared soon after we finished and another treat brought for the mutt.
Drinks and food came to about £45 which we thought was very good value.We’d recommend this place highly and wouldn’t hesitate to return.
