"Visited twice during our weekend stay.Once for drinks and nibbles and for dinner before going to the theatre. A fantastic all round pub. Friendly smiling staff, good music,great food , outside terraces. wide range of drinks/coffees. All areas clean. All the food we had was excellent from snacks of chicken wings and hallomi fries to the the scampi and chips and crispy pork belly for dinner. Everything served hot and well presented.Only one negative was the wine selection , a very small limited list given the very wide range of other drinks available on the bar. Only 3 white wines and two of them were french , red wine slightly better with 4 offerings from different countries.I drink savignon blanc and would normally find one from New Zealand, Chile ,South Africa on a wine list. The french offering was awful. Very acidic, my husband said the red wasnt great either . A shame as we both enjoy wine with food . I spoke to the lady behind the bar and she said she drank the same as me and it wasnt great and there wasnt much choice. Overall a great pub and will return again when visiting Eastbourne. Very busy at times so best to book a table if you want to be sure of getting a spot to eat.Booked in 2 hour time slots. Would have been 5 stars but for the wine"
