We were lucky enough to have been given a table as they were busy. The staff were excellent and I must admit that I prefer the waiting on tables system, much nicer. The food was very good and my husband had the pie and mash and he said it was lovely, my fish and chips were delicious and we had generous portions. My only criticism is not just directed here but I really wish all pubs and restaurants cooked proper chips not frozen ones! Never mind that's wishful thinking on my part. All covid measures were in place and I'd recommend you give this eatery a go. It was very good.

Since the only way to have a quality beer in a pub in these days of COVID restrictions is to have a 'substantial meal' with your beer, this pub is the perfect solution: you don't have to resent the requirement to buy a meal in order to enjoy a nice beer. The food was as good as the beer today (Sunday lunch). Two excellent bitters available on tap - Harveys and Old Speckled Hen, and a varied luncheon/dinner menu thrown in. We had a roast turkey dinner and a generous, home-made quiche with salad. Both mains were excellent. There was plenty of distance and protection between tables, and the TVs showing football were high up on the walls and not too obtrusive. Service was attentive and pretty quick. No need to say more. Recommended.

Today I went to the Crown & Anchor with my family including two toddlers. The staff have been amazing and the food delicious. Definitely the pub to go if you're down to Easbourne. Friendly and caring staff with tasty food (as well as drinks). ;-)

This is the second Sunday we went to the outside eating area it was very windy the staff were amazing they found us a sheltered table when one became available the food was simply delicious all home made and cooked to perfection we had eaten there before several times but in normal times living in the next town we can catch the bus there so double bonus I have had bariatric surgery so my food intake is minimal they happily give you a doggy bag to bring home my vegetables were cooked and I was able to eat and digest them which is just brilliant I will recommend on our site for others thank you all see you in two weeks

We visited late this afternoon and had a lovely table in the sun. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food amazing. The proprietor even gave my husband a celebratory glass he covered. Will definitely be returning.

There is no substitute for good old fashioned customer service and friendly staff. I visit here occasionally and it is consistently good.

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.
