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 🥴

Look, it's a Spoons, it's cheap and the food isn't bad - the chips in particular are excellent. Our food got forgotten and we waited an hour but the staff were lovely and very apologetic that we got overlooked. I had ham egg and chips, ham was lovely, chips amazing, egg yolks hard, but that said, my mum had the same and her yolks were perfect!

Everyone knows what to expect with a Wetherspoons pub! Cheap and fairly good beer, Cheap and fairly awful food, Cheap and badly trained staff. Cornfield Garage is no different But seriously £2.50 for a half pint of diet coke, when a pint of lager is £2.99?

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! The people on the other side of the bar are the ones paying your wages!

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.

There are numerous reasons why not to part with your money at the Wetherspoons Cornfield Garage in Eastbourne, they include having to share your food or drink with the hoards of flies that populate the pub, additionally the pub serves numerous real ales which are poorly kept and served by a team that present the very worst of customer service including having absolutely no interest in the pub goer in front of them instead they are more content to hold conversation with colleagues. The toilets were awful, broken door locks, toilet paper cast everywhere on the ‘water’ soaked floors. The food was lukewarm when it came. Is this worst ‘spoons’ in the country? Probably!!!

Ordered the macaroni cheese today. Is was awful. Plain and sticky & grey looking. It did not look as though it had a sauce & definitely did not taste of cheese. Gave it back & ordered a sandwich . The server reported it to the manager, no apology given & the manager made no approach, no refund was offered. 😟 Not impressed with a cafe that I have never had an issue with before & always rated highly.

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.
