The outside doesn't make it look particularly inviting.
Inside is typically pub like but a lot of the seats were badly stained which wasn't nice at all.
Hubby went for the fish and chips and got a good size portion which was ok, chips were nothing special.
I got a starter of camembert, which was 3 good size triangles with some lovely warm baguette and some side salad - which had several bits of almost black lettuce which were very limp and looked disgusting.
There was a large group of people who very quite noisy and obviously getting quite tipsy.
Meal was just ok but I wouldn't come here again.
They let dogs in.

Used trip advisor to see the best pub. Had not visted Eastbourne in a very long time so had no idea where to go. As per the last review, from the outside it doesn't seem somewhere that you would expect to go for a decent Sunday lunch. There was a menu with sunday roast with a choice of starters, 4 different roasts and 4 or 5 deserts. There is an offer on 2 or 3 courses but I can't remember the prices for these but it was good value. If you don't have a massive appetite I would suggest you have the roast and see how you feel. There is also another menu and specials so if you didn't want a roast there is plenty to choose from. Dad had the chicken and I had the beef. We had the choice or roast or mash potatoes and we went for the mash. It was delightful. There was an amazing selection of vegetables all nicely cooked. The meat was lovely and dad got half a chicken which was succulent and the gravy very tasty. Staff were very friendly and very attentive without being in the way or bothersome. Lovely end to a sunny day in Eastbourne. Will certainly be back very soon. Dad also loved his tshirt which they sell

A charming, welcoming atmosphere. Food is brilliant, sky sports for those that want it. Pool tables if so inclined. Decor is fine, not far from the pier and centre of town. In fact the sea/Beach is just over the road.
I would highly recommend this to anyone, be they a single, a couple or a family.

Me and my partner could not find one fault with this hotel! Brilliant price for the 2 nights. Bedroom was immaculate, so warm and cosy in the evenings. All staff members we spoke to were so lovely and helpful. The breakfast was lovely in the morning. Room was warm enough. I think for the price you pay you can't moan about the noise coming from outside as due to location. Would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family and we can't wait to return!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Afton, the management (Jason) and staff couldn't have been more helpful, especially Linda who looked after our dietary needs which are vegan, also a big thank you to the chef who created the lovely meals for us.
The hotel is situated near the seafront and pier, our room was very clean and spacious, entertainment was provided every night.
We look forward to staying at the Afton Hotel in the very near future.

The hotel staff very helpful and friendly and the accommodation was clean and comfortable. The only negative was breakfast as cold fried eggs not good but the second day I was able to chose a breakfast that suited me better - so glad there were other options available.

Breakfast was fab. Worth staying here just for that.
Definitely our hotel of choice when we stay here again.
See you soon

The Afton Hotel is a very welcoming sight, the staff are always pleased to see you, and the food is excellent. The Afton has recently changed hands and we wish Hany, Milad and Adel good wishes for the future.
We were lucky to get a front room with a balcony which gives us a good view of the pier. The pier is now open and you can walk around it.
We were there for the air show, which was cancelled on the Thursday due to the weather, but Friday turned out to be a glorious day.
We have been many tines to the Afton and look forward to returning.
