We ended up here as we were in Eastbourne for the weekend and looking for somewhere to eat that was dog friendly! We did not find many places in Eastbourne to be dog friendly at all! The staff were very friendly and accommodating, even bringing our dog some dog biscuits and a drink of water, a nice gesture. The menus was varied and catered for many different dieters. We ordered the vegetarian sharer and it was huge! It was all very nice and tasty, well prepared and well presented. We then ordered mains of lamb shank and a Stilton burger. Unfortunately the mains let themselves down, the lamb shank meal was over seasoned and did not have enough gravy, although the meat was tender and fell off the bone. The burger was inedible, very tough and salty! Most of the Stilton had soaked into the bread. The chips and salad were good and the homemade coleslaw was delicious. Our dog enjoyed some of the burger, but it was even difficult to cut so we gave up after a while. It’s a busy welcoming place, we would return but just avoid the burgers.

This is an unpretentious local pub situated on the eastern promenade at Eastbourne. It is not pretending to be anything else but a decent British pub serving a decent range of ales and lagers. We popped in on the off chance that lunch was still being served as it was after 2 pm and the dog was allowed in and the answer to both was yes with a big smile. So welcome in this day and age! I cannot speak highly enough of the bar and waiting staff. Knowledgeable and polite. The food was very good indeed. Lamb Shank and Steak and Ale Pie, huge portions and very well presented. So a pleasant and filling Sunday Lunch and a nice drop of real ale. Marvelous!

We visited this Greene King pub as it is in a convenient location on the seafront only 200metres east of Eastbourne pier. We were very pleasantly surprised by the pub's ambience -all the staff were friendly & everyone was made to feel welcome.
The meal we had from the extensive menu was excellent -as well as a 'Specials board's there are menus for 'gluten free' & vegetarian/vegan meals. As a starter we had the delicious 'halloumi fries' with a salsa dip &garlic mushrooms followed by mains of home made shortcrust pastry steak&ale pie with roast potatoes &mixed veg +a vegetarian moussaka. Both were excellent &washed down with a nice Malbec (there was a choice of 6reds, 6whites, 3rosés as well as a wide selection of spirits & there were 3real ales on tap)There is also a pool table &darts (in a separate area) & live sport shown on several TV screens (in silence so your meal would not be disturbed)
The prices are very reasonable &this pub is well worth seeking out.

Wow, so impressed with the amount of choice between the original and new menus and the daily specials board.....
This delightful seafront pub offers extensive Vegan options & Gluten free, as well as all the usual pub style favourites and more!!
The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a wonderful real log fire and a lovely clean well kept interior.
Staff were extremely attentive and dealt with our order quickly and efficiently, we had a couple of fussy teens with us but nothing was to much trouble.
I'm sure I will be visiting this delightful pub again and again over the coming months, looking forward to working my way through the exciting new menu!!

Had my Xmas party here at the weekend, it was a nice function area, with friendly staff but wanted to especially mention the young man on the upstairs bar - He was really hard working, friendly and polite.

We went for an family meal on a Friday evening. We arrived to a newly refurbished pub. Whoever oversaw the renovation has really though about finishing touches and really has completely changed this pub. The decor is lovely and to top it off they have the most amazing Christmas decorations (not tacky), worth going to see if you love Christmas.
We had booked so has a table laid with name places and also crackers (beautiful tree decoration inside, not cheap crackers). The food was beautifully cooked and well presented. It was also very reasonable priced.
The drinks were good. Great selection and fairly priced.
On the evening there was a band playing. Great songs and a good choice in band. It worked and wasn’t took dominating. There was an area for dancing for those who wanted to.
Last but definitely not least the staff were lovely. Everyone was smiley and friendly and couldn’t do enough to help. Service felt genuine.
We’ll be back soon.

Went to this pub as a large group for an evening meal. Staff were very friendly and were happy to accommodate us all by moving tables together. The food was excellent. Tasted home cooked and there were a friendly and busy feel there.
