Beachy Head in Eastbourne

Great location and lovely staff

Good food, great location, great service from our waitress Lilly!

Went there on Saturday, didn’t stay long as the pub was really cold even though we were by the fire. The toilets were freezing, no radiators on in the gents and the water in the ladies to wash your hands was cold in the hot tap. Don’t think I would go back there until the summer.

Can’t believe we’ve not been here before. Great food, friendly service, easy parking and stunning views, look forward to coming back

Always amazing food & service. We was served by Hailie who was excellent and made the whole experience brilliant. Thank you again :)

Disappointing!!! My husband and I came for dinner it was nearly empty so thought service would be reasonably quick! We waited at least 40 minutes for our starters my husband had the prawn cocktail no flavour and over ripe avocado on the side a slice of toasted white bread with no butter!! Dry as anything!!! I had the pate was fine again no butter for the toast! We then waited quite a while for mains my husband had the steak and venison pie mash and veg the only edible part was the pastry top!! The chunks of meat were so chewy he had to spit them out! The mash had been microwaved so much it was tasteless mush and the cabbage was just soggy! Absolutely disgusting and costing nearly £20 they did take it off the bill! I had the fish cakes they were edible but as dry as a bone with a ton of boring new potatoes and over cooked broccoli stems! The waitress was faultless excellent service from her but the chef needs help I would rather have gone to McDonalds!!!

I came here for lunch yesterday with a few friends and the food was amazing. We were served by Callum, he made all of us feel very welcome and made sure to check that we were happy with everything. I would definitely recommend coming here and thank you Callum for making our experience enjoyable.

Mum and I had a lovely dining experience. The restuarant was very welcoming with lovely Christmas decorations. Lilly our waitress was delightful- so helpful and always smiling.

Had a very tasty meal here today from the festive menu served by the wonderful Lily who went out of her way to make sure that we were happy with everything.

Absolutely perfect service! Great attention to the customers, can’t fault, Lilly was 10/10

Very nice pub with a good menu. Cheerful and pleasant staff. Food was tasty but seems to have been lingering in the kitchen as some of it wasn’t exactly hot. Plenty parking. Nice area.

Excellent bar with stunning views from beachy head across the south downstairs and out to sea

Everything you imagine a good English country restaurant to be: staff, ambiance, decor and cuisine. Perfect !

I have complained to Vintage inns about the service and attitude of lady short ish with dark hair,. They haven’t replied to me. I will be taking this further. I’m not going to repeat everything on here but we won’t be back. Upon reading the lowest reviews all the owner does is repeat how they are sorry people didn’t have a positive experience. Instead of actually trying to improve. Disgraceful.

We celebrated here after proposing. The view from the restaurant is beautiful and I ate here the best fish and chips of my life.

The location and view were stunning. The food was incredible, and veryreasonably priced. It's a shame that service was very slow but it was busy when we visited.

Jan was exceptional and patient. unfortunately, the fish and chips were cold, the cauliflower cheese tasted of plastic. overall none of the dishes were particularly hot and the Broccoli and parsnips were hard however, finishing on a positive note the meat, potatoes and carrots were nice

Th fish and chips was amazing. very friendly service from Jan. great views over the downs. We will be going back again very soon.

The restaurant is beautiful, its atmosphere is lovely. The service is absolutely good, our waiters were very kind and helpful. We had dinner there on a Sunday, so we ordered two Sunday dinners with one starter and two desserts. The starter and the mains were very delicious. I am sorry that the desserts were not too good.

Had a lunch here with my family on Friday noon. Everything was spot on,delicious food,quick service and fair prices. I would recommend this place. Will be returning with other family members

Met with a smile and seated at a table near the window that had excellent views. We had Aubergine Gratin and a Hunters Chicken Schnitzel, both were hot and tasty, followed by the Honeycomb Domes. Would definitely go again.

Service very poor. It took half an hour to hear back about alternative options for allergen dishes. One of our tables in our party waited an hour and half after ordering for food to arrive. Very little updates on when food might arrive and no sense of being prioritised after mistake with submitting order by their staff was identified. Very stressful lunch experience overall.

Booked table for 1pm for 2 people shown to table order drinks which took 20 mins to arrive then another 55 mins for food to come and other people were getting served before us wasn’t just us where a lot of other people waiting ages as well don’t no how they going to cope at Christmas but food was good that was the good part and the amazing view

I stopped for a bite to eat after walking from Eastbourne to Beachy Head. I had the fish and chips and they were so very tasty. The batter was very crispy, just how it should be and so many places get it wrong. I had a pot of decaf tea to go with it and I was over the moon that it was Yorkshire tea! The best in my opinion. The service was good too. If I am ever in this area again I would definitely call in the Beachy Head pub again.

6 of us for lunch, booked in advance. As expected, a very busy place in a popular spot and we had a short wait for our table. But we had lovely food and excellent service. Very atmospheric with amazing views across the South Downs and the cliffs. Great that dogs are welcome, and several people had dogs with them - all well behaved (owners and dogs!). Although a very busy establishment, we were not rushed or felt we had to hurry our meal. We had a really lovely meal and would gladly recommend and go back.

Not impressed by the service of the purchased items. Seems like most of the customers are one off passing trade means they don't need to impress that much.

We didn’t eat but had spectacular views and perfect pit stop for a long walk. We ourselves did a 16km walk along the coast from Eastbourne so was a good pit stop. Parking available. We found seating limited for drinks only as most tables set up for meals. Maybe just popular and busy location / time ! Drinks variety and cost very reasonable for the location. Toilets clean. A tad chilly inside- had to keep on our winter coats and only stayed for 1 due to the temperature. Would return and recommend. Dog friendly.

For a venue with a captive audience I was disappointed, First we were asked "had we booked?" the place was virtually empty, then when the food arrived the waitress didnt ask if we wanted any sauces so i had to chase them. The food was alright but i did not feel the fish cakes were as described (they did admit that they ran out of Hollandaise sauce) The sweets were nice but the dome was a littke bit small and couldve been more generous

Got a few drinks - lovely interior and friendly staff. Perfect for a Sunday roast.

Beautiful views and delicious food. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely eat here again

Always get a good meal and excellent service from friendly staff.

Delicious food, friendly staff.

Thank you Jan for looking after us. Food was absolutely amazing, beautiful setting, we will definitely be returning x

Very cozy restaurant at Beachy Head. Service was very friendly and quick. As Continental Europeans, we like to laugh at English cuisine, but we ate exceptionally well here. Great restaurant. Parking spaces are free.

Excellent scenery, you will definitely go back there again.

Thank you Jan! She is very kind and lovely :)

I booked a table for 11 at The Beachy Head for Sunday Roast. Unfortunately the beef and lamb had run out, although understandably as we could only get a late afternoon booking. We were ok with that though as the pork belly was magnificent. The trimmings were fantastic also. A couple of us had the sea bass which was given the thumbs too. Four of us were local but the rest had travelled from Birmingham, USA and Canada and everyone was delighted with the food, the generous portions and the service. Jan looked after us impeccably. All I would say is, if you can, book earlyish to ensure that you have a full choice. Having said that, the second choices were excellent. Great food, great portions and a lovely atmosphere.

Cracking roast, no horseradish for the beef and no proper job!!!

Great place great food and great views.

Lovely pub with beautiful view across the cliffs, tasty menu, and very friendly and welcoming staff.

I went to Beachy Head pub with a friend. The food was delicious, Lily who served us was a delight. And the prices very reasonable and such glorious views.

Just a drink. Views are beautiful.

Had a great time at Beachy Head. Well worth a visit. You won't be disappointed.

Lovely food, great views and good service sorry but there was one slightly annoying thing - flies on the windows 😏😔

Food still good, but not as welcoming as it used to be. If the staff don't feel like lighting the fireplace, forget it. They won't do it. Still an attractive place, but less of the old magic.

Oh Lordy this place is coming downhill. The outside of the building is in dire need of refurbishing, the windows are rotten. The lack of care doesn’t prepare you for probably the most expensive wine in Eastbourne. We paid £21:10 for 2 glasses of very ordinary wine, enough you’d think to show the building a little TLC. That was definitely a last visit for us, the view is amazing but you don’t need to feel ripped off to enjoy it.

Cool pub, great food, great service and upon friendly request we were allowed to stay in their parking lot overnight.

Slow service both from the bar and the food. Had the chicken strips and these were dry not brilliant. Others however enjoyed their meals. It was busybut still tables available both in and out. Great views.

I can't give a star rating for the food as every time I have tried to eat at this venue I have been turned away. Simply stating we can't eat if we haven't booked, which if the pub was full I could understand. There was a large party in say a table of 12-14 approx and two more tables eating table of 2 and table of 4. There was noone to great us to seat us for ages and noone behind the bar either. Then when we did get service we were told no food unless we had booked. As we left out of curiosity I looked on their website as was able to book a table so could have booked and gone back in but why turn people away if there I'd available tables. We won't be wasting our time visiting again. Even if we booked beforehand. Eberytime we've been turned away for one reason for another the place has been almost empty so has no atmosphere. Shame as it looks to be nice inside.

Had a really good meal, service was amazing - food always arrived at the perfect time - and nice atmosphere. Love that place we will come back ! Thank you to our waitress Jan, she has been lovely

Wonderful service, great menu and food was fantastic

Top lunch, there is also a great selection for the children. If you like English cuisine: welcome!!! Delicious and authentic, I think the high tea would also be an experience. So have a reason to come back and try it!

Great meal today, served by Jan, very attentive service and pleasant conversation, would recommend 👍

Lovely lunch today, food and service was really good, our waitress Jan looked after extremely well. We'll be back!

The food was delicious and the the service brilliant, Lilly really looked after us

Met with a friend over lunch, we ordered at the bar rather than table service and opted for a selection of starters to share. The food was lovely (one dish wasn’t very warm but still delicious). Service was good. There is however an infestation of blue bottles - we did move to a different table but it was no better there, so not particularly pleasant. Toilets need a makeover, they look grubby and the less said about the smell the better. So basically it just needs a spruce up and some fly killer!!!

Lilly was fantastic! What a wonderful way to end our trek!

Amazing location and brilliant service from lily

Very Nice pub With great views. We loved the fish and chips.

The food offering has deteriorated. Portion size poor. Prices up, portions decreased. Won't be back anytime soon.

Went for a Sunday roast, the staff were lovely, the view was beautiful and the food was great, nice portions, lovely garlic roasties and succulent meat.

Excellent location and tasty food, reasonably priced and great service. Highly recommend

It was really beautiful, the beautiful, quiet atmosphere and the delicious food harmonized perfectly

Lovely Hotel, with great staff and excellent food.

Great view, atmospheric English pub with very attentive food excellent service from the staff very reasonable prices!!!

Food was good unfortunately the roasts had run out.

Very beautiful landscape! Was only in the parking lot and the toilets, can't say anything about the food... But I saw people with gratinated toast that looked delicious 😊

Cold food. Soup unexpected as it definitely wasn't what I ordered which was leek and potato

We just went in for a coffee and a chat after lunch in town - and it was lovely and relaxing, with fabulous views across the Downs and sea, a warm log fire and friendly service. Very enjoyable. We must try it for lunch sometime!

Lovely place with great views across the valley, we got there during a storm and it was sooóo romantic. The food was amazing too ..

Place quite quiet 🤫 Mist the 2 course special little bit late Little untidy and plates 🍽 left on tables

Arrived 5.30 so mist the offer of two course special price. Was quiet were 3 staff we cleaned our table , ordered at the bar and drinks , nice man serving . Lasagna both pipping hot / plate little expensive (compared to Grimsby ) There were many tables still having dirty plates / glasses . So the staff should of collected. Gents Toilet not very clean . Although have been before five years ago , was smarter and very busy ! The outside paintwork was needing a paint up . Such a lovely area .

This pub is in a great setting and has views from most seats. There is outside seating as well. We had to wait a very long time for our drinks, there was drinks ready but no one bringing them over. Some customers gave up and collected them themselves. Then the food took even longer, we must have been there an hour by then. It was just very average food, nice enough but not as hot as should be and the prices reflect the setting, not the food quality. The young lady was quiet and we felt sorry for her because she clearly had far too many customers to serve and had to deal with people moaning and returning cold food. We probably wouldn't go there again.

Welcoming place, excellent fish&chips and good beer, friendly and courteus Jan the lady who served us. The view outside the place is fantastic

Fabulous location, good food and great service from our waitress Jan. pub is beautifully decorated, plenty of seating with great views of the coast.

Another great Sunday roast. We came with our 2 small dogs and had a great meal. The staff it’s very friendly, Jen today looked after us. The pudding was delicious too. Definitely recommend.

One hour waiting time for an apple crumble is not acceptable. Even after we asked them about our order, it took them 15 minutes until we finally got our food...

This was last minute for us we phoned ahead asked if we can park in carpark if we eat and drunk with our dogs as we travelling coast line ..not problem food was excellent service was excellent ..plenty of food ..all.fresh xx what a lovelly place

The food was tasty and a bit little, but expensive. But the ambience made up for it. Self-service at tables where no reservations were made.

Lovely pub in a great location. If you can grab a spot by a window you can get a great sunset view! Staff are very helpful and friendly

Iconic venue. Get a window table to enjoy the view across the Seven Sisters or sit outside weather permitting. Good choice of food and drink, friendly staff.

Great lunch with family. Our waitress Jan was very helpful with the menu & drinks

The perfect pub! Our first choice whenever we are visiting family. Never had a bad meal there, good choice of drinks, welcoming and helpful staff and the perfect venue to finish a walk along the cliffs

We went to the Beachy Head last week while visiting friends in Eastbourne. So impressed with everything about the pub/restaurant. All four if us enjoyed our meal, with the service being amongst the very best i've experienced. Sorry i didn't get names, but every member of staff we dealt with was so polite and professional, which isn't always the case at some restaurantswe've vusited recently. I'm still blown away by the cauliflower cheese! Thank you Guys

Impromptu dinner on a Thursday evening, lovely place good service and ni e food at a reasonable price

Brilliant atmosphere, stunning location and very friendly staff.

Really lovely pub! Amazing food and super friendly service!!

I totally love this place! Beautiful views from our table, great food with friendly service. They were able to accommodate a reasonably large group of us at short notice for lunch. Would definitely recommend, I imagine it would be a great venue for a cosy evening meal in the winter when the fires are lit.

When we visit England, we always stop at the Seven Sisters cliffs and enjoy the good food and the incomparable view, as well as the beautiful ambience in the Beachy Head restaurant. For my husband, it was the best meal in England. We were even allowed to stay overnight with our camper to try out the good beer selection. A particularly magical place for us. Greetings from Germany

excellent service and great food we coming back!

What a lovely find! We had the most wonderful Sunday lunch, highly recommend. Staff were so kind, lovely and the man behind the bar was very knowledgeable on the wine list - all in all such a great experience,

Friendly staff especially Maria. A good choice of food. I was sent a code for a free bottle of Prosecco for my birthday very nice. Maria took us to a window seat where we watched a beautiful sunset. We finished the evening with some very well made cocktails. Would recommend.

Didn't eat at Beachy Head but visited the Heritage centre, which was very interesting.

Food was absolutely delicious - compliments to the chefs and the atmosphere was very busy and buzzy! We had a young server called Sophia who was absolutely incredible and easily catered to my family’s food diets x

Food was amazing, very fresh, however the service was slow, we waited 50 minutes for maines and 30 minutes for desserts and the place was not even busy. Our first server lady was nice, but the second lady was lame, my partner got his coffee without teaspoon and sugar, she basically just tossed the cutlery in the middle of the table instead of professionally place it by each guest's plate. If I was the owner I would put more effort in training my staff.

The staff were all welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Very enjoyable experience

A wonderful evening, we were welcome and allowed to park our camper van with great ease. Olivia was so kind and thoughtful, Annette was so helpful too! A very lovely pub and wholesome feeling! With an INCREDIBLE view.

Everything was spot on. Absolutely amazing food. Bar staff also can pour a mean pint. Would recommend.

Have visited before & all been good but today a little disappointed. Had to wait several minutes to get drinks from bar when we were the only ones waiting. Sat outside as a beautiful day & decided to have a light lunch. After ordering, around 40 minutes later still no food. Went to enquire & told would be to us shortly. When it arrived, one dish was incorrect. Had an apology & it was sorted within a few minutes. Food was ok but the fries with the steak sandwich were only luke warm. Seemed to be lack of staff. One poor guy served at bar, made coffees & was serving food too.

Great pub, views of the cliffs and lovely staff. Thanks!
