Not been for several years after a bad experience previously, fast forward, nothing has changed! toilets,tables needed cleaning, 20 minutes to get served at bar, people pushing in front, staff couldn’t care less even when pointed out, draft beer tasted awful, watched food being returned repeatedly. Drunks causing problems! Yet place was packed and this was in the afternoon!

To be honest the old saying you get what you pay for applies to this place, it's cheap. The portions are very small and quality only average. The worst thing was it was all luke warm almost cold. The dessert was terrible, Apple crumble with ice cream. The crumble was raw flour and sugar. Won't be going back 🥴

Cornfield garage used to be much better than London and County. Service was always much smoother and quicker. They seem to be slowing down and spend more time chatting with colleagues and bottling up rather than getting drinks out. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE!

What is it and lacking basic customer service? With a maximum of four people waiting to be served at the bar, you would think the bar staff would have the very basic.. 'Very Basic' customer service skill to be aware of who is next to be served. Instead you end up nearly arguing with other customers. It's not.. good.. enough. Seriously.. what does it take to use your brain to be aware of customers. When its friday/Saturday night I would understand more.. or week end lunch time, but not first thing in the morning when theres a maximum of four people at the bar. The food and drink maybe cheap.. but doesnt mean the customer service has to be! It happens on a regular basis.. and it really needs to be addressed. Other than that.. the vast majority are pro-active.. friendly.. and management always on the ball being pro active which is rare in most places. Respect to the majority of the staff 100%

Was visiting Eastbourne for the weekend and my partner and I wanted a full English to keep us going for the busy day ahead. We arrived at 11.50am to see it was VERY busy, but we managed to get a booth table and quickly set about ordering via the app before the 12pm breakfast cutoff time! Our order went through at 11.59 and it arrived at our table within 20 minutes, which considering how busy they were I was impressed with. I was also very impressed with the price, I had a large breakfast for only £6.59 and free refill coffee for an extra £1.59. That is VERY good value. It was all cooked great, did the job, set us up for the day and was such a great deal that we came back the next day for another one!

I was visiting Eastbourne for the first time, although this was not my first Wetherspoons meal...indeed this was my 200th different pub in the chain I had visited. For a landmark visit the pub itself was distinctively average and the food was disappointing. I ordered the sirloin steak with side salad and peppercorn sauce. The steak looked fine but was rather tough and not tender, and the sauce, whilst tasting fine, was completely void of any peppercorns and was more like a peppery gravy than a true peppercorn sauce. The pint of Leffe redeemed the meal and made it overall reasonable value. Service was relatively speedy and functional, nobody came to check if the food was okay etc. Overall it merits a 3-star score at most.

The building has little to show its past life as the Cornfield garage other than a few pics on the wall, unlike some other Wetherspoons I've been to that really seem to celebrate the buildings past.

(Hi I used to come here when I was little and loved it) the service could be better please Maybe smile? Engage with customers ask them how they are if they’ve tried your food before? Recommend something good? Offer them a tray? But unfortunately today.. I went with a friend, I hadn’t been there before - since it moved (I have adhd so I find it hard to focus when it’s a busy environment or noisy or having a busy day myself) Long story short I didn’t get a chance to look at their menu, I had about three members of staff trying to talk to me at once which was very overwhelming for me, i was literally to and from .. no one was trying to help me they could see I was overwhelmed.. I chose my meal and I was spoken to as if I didn’t know how to purchase something? “oh it’s extra for the potatoes! If you want it with soup” well I wouldn’t expect it for free .. and most cafes do offer free bread rolls with your soup? But I understand if it’s extra for one … the soup had no flavour at all I couldn’t taste the tomato it’s very displeasing, it was cold The potatoes were nice but quite hard in the middle .. definitely Not worth £15 .. at all I won’t be coming back here again I went and got cutlery I was just looking at the sachets to see what they were and the lady jumped in and went “oh each sachet is 15p!” What next charging me 10p to breathe ?? Every little thing they charged you for what next 5p per napkin ?! Is literally how it feeling being here today .. not welcoming at all! This happened in the large / main building I felt picked at

Disappointed..... We arrived for NYE from London. We got out a cab and tried to enter the property. The bouncer on the door approached me and my partner outside as we were finishing our smoke and straight away refused us entry. He said he had reports about us and that we had already caused trouble and we were not aloud in. I explained we had just got out of a taxi from a nearby hotel and had not been anywhere yet. He said no and told us to move on. The other bouncer on shift looked embarrassed. Lucky enough the other places nearby were happy to have us.

I had a shocking experience at The Pier Hotel, Eastbourne, and I strongly urge others to avoid staying here. The entire ordeal was a nightmare from start to finish. When I arrived a little earlier than the 2 pm check-in time, the front door was locked, and there was a piece of paper attached saying it would only be open from 2 pm to 10 pm. This is highly unusual and unprofessional for a hotel. I returned at 2 pm and was greeted by a receptionist named Muhammad, who told me that the room I had booked—a single room with a bath—was no longer available due to “bad bugs.” When I asked if he meant “bed bugs,” he curtly corrected me but offered no apology for the inconvenience or lack of communication beforehand regarding this health hazardous conditions they were in. I reluctantly agreed to accept a different room, as there were no other options, but when I asked about their lost key policy (they charge £60 if a key is lost but no one will be there to collect my keys at the reception when I check out at 10am), the receptionist suddenly became hostile. He shouted at me, told me I could no longer stay, and claimed he would cancel my booking. His behaviour was completely unprofessional and shocking, leaving me stranded in Eastbourne and scrambling to find alternative accommodation at the last minute. The hotel itself is run-down and feels abandoned. The restaurant and bar areas are barricaded from outside with rubbish around and look nothing like the photos online. To make matters worse, after I reported the incident to the online booking agents the hotel falsely claimed that I refused to stay when in fact it was their staff who refused to accommodate me. This was, without question, the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had in or outside the UK. It is unprofessional, dishonest, and in terrible condition. I’ve reported the incident to the online booking agent, including photos to prove the state of the property. Avoid this place at all costs—Eastbourne is a lovely town, but this hotel will ruin your trip.
