The best restaurants serving British food in Devonshire Eastbourne South East

Great coffee but a shame about the dreadful music. The music spoilt the visit and it is suspected that it is a ploy to get the customers to sit outside.

Menu gives good choice of dishes, all marked with approximate waiting times which is very useful when making plans for the evening.

Sehr freundliche engagierte Angestellte, gutes Angebot. Das Cafe hat sich spezialisiert an Autismus erkrankte Menschen und Menschen mit Lernstörungen zu bewirten. Das Ambiente ist sehr schlicht, Cooked Full English Breakfast gibt es nicht (Geruch), dies alles und noch mehr dient dazu, die Reizschwelle möglichst tief zu halten. Für uns Europäer gibt es aber ein schönes Continental Breakfast mit Toast, warmem Croissant, Butter, Konfitüre, Honig und Früchten, günstig. Wer will kann auch Rührei bekommen. Ich habe mich sehr wohl und gut aufgehoben gefühlt im jigsaws. Die 'little chats' mit Einheimischen schätze ich als Alleinreisende sehr. Früh morgens war ich einziger Gast, ich habe die Zeitung vor Ort in aller Ruhe lesen können. Verbesserungsvorschlag: Öffnungszeiten, früher öffnen, z.B. 8.30 Uhr. Gerne wieder!

Stopped off for a few pints. Large pub with friendly vibe.

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.

(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

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.

Usual tap beers available. I had a Guinness which was very nice. Music being piped through which was very pleasant. Wooden floors throughout and a mix match of tables and chairs. Staff were friendly and polite. Descently decorated. Enjoyed my visit.

We have visited Eastbourne once a year for several years and always visit The Town House, partly because it was nearest our hotel but mainly for the music and vibe. In 2022 we found it quiet, in 2023 it was closed, albeit temporarily. This year, May Bank Holiday, it was open but quiet and no atmosphere. We'll try again next year.

Did not seem to be enough staff, although just opened. Was told coffee would be a while because of a problem with the "machine". Found out that this was not proper Barista made coffee, although the prices did not reflect that. Staff friendly enough, but was not impressed.

Just stayed here for 6 nights as part of Travelsure holiday. Speedy check in with helpful staff. Rooms very clean and tidy; plenty of tea/coffee/ milk facilities; good shower. Restaurant was excellent, too. Splendid food and fast service. Special mention for Ray, the restaurant manager, who ran the system brilliantly. Great sense of humour and very professional. Good bar, again with cheery staff. Entertainment was fine as well. Overall, a fine holiday and delighted to recommends the Queens if you are thinking of staying in Eastbourne.

Dopo la passeggiata sul Pier proprio di fronte si trova questo locale interno normali niente di particolare la cucina, confusione nel menu...va beh abbiamo mangiato un hamburger e pranzo fatto

para una experiencia gastronómica especial, debe visitar el restaurante, la comida es fantástica, el servicio es algo fuera de este mundo.

Traté de encontrar una mesa en un pub cercano pero estaba lleno. Este lugar tenía todas las mesas vacías. . . Eso debería haber sido una advertencia. Tengo la impresión de que el personal era nuevo y / o totalmente inexperto. Pescado y patatas fritas anunciados en el exterior @ 6. 90 (con una bebida). . . aunque había una pequeña letra pequeña, así que no nos molestamos en preguntar cuándo nos cobraron 8. 95 sin bebida. La comida era pasable. En definitiva muy poco valor.
