Cornfield Garage in Eastbourne

Hi all, I went for a drink in Eastbourne Witherspoons with 6 friends tonight before a curry night we had planed. We had 4 rounds and that was ok but the service was a little slow then. After curry all 6 of us went back to Wetherspoons hoping to have a good few more rounds, but the bar staff by that time was a shambles. We waited 20 min or more and after when the barman just served the pretty girls who just turned up after us, we all left to drink else where. Shame as would of spent quiet a bit of money. I think your head office needs to sort things out they are loosing money and custom. Well to be fair I don't blame the young barmen serving the pretty girls 1st, but the waiting time does need serious addressing as I will think twice now going back their with my friends. Many thanks for listening. Vince. 👍

Not the best Weatherspoons I've visited, but on the plus side, it has a garden. Drinks were cheap as you exoect from a spoons. Went for breakfast full English ordered one large one small. Items missing off the large and the small looked like it had been thrown on the plate.

Can't go wrong with spoons and great outdoor seating area

Lovely pubs and staff food etc.

Typical Spoons during the day. Breakfast was cold. So is the lager. As is the atmosphere... Enjoy.

The most useless bar staff I've ever come across, they can't work out who's next at the bar even if your the only one at the bar. Staff stand around talking and fail to recognise if you are waiting or if you are drinking at the bar and empty...so what its cheap the place is soulless

Buzy and noisy but food was fast and staff were fast

Me and my friends went here for some food as it is our regular spot to go and eat we was just about to press order and someone came over at 4:30 and pressed thee body camera making very uncomfortable and told us we was not allowed to eat in here as we was not 18 or with an adult we are both 17 and very responsible. I am very upset

Good food fast service nice lunch

Busy like you would expect. But plenty of tables

I come to Eastbourne monthly and make a beeline for this glorious pub! I find the ale excellent, the staff work hard and gloriously, an open fire! I exchange banter with 2 fine bar staff (about football): Chris and Del. I do not recognise some of the previous negative remarks whatsoever!!!

Good place foods above average cheap enough thou which is why we come always busy but great atmosphere

No matter when you visit, this place is rammed and extremely noisy (Lombard Effect). Service time from app is ok, also the staff are extremely polite. However the tables are sticky and dirty from previous users, the member of staff cleaning tables, acted as though, I had asked for the crown jewels, when asking for a wet cloth. The cloth used was dirty from previous tables, and only made the table sticker.

Fast service Lots of seats and beautiful garden

Rude barman Bar staff oblivious to anyone standing at the bar When the bar is clearly empty Last visit here Not worth it!!

Busy place on the day of visit limited seating as lunchtime but able to get a drink or 2 app worked fine for ordering to table

It’s great for having a laugh with your friends and family but I would avoid a few food options due to me getting food poisoning from eating it

The place is lovely and spacious, but can get quite busy. Service was excellent, food and drinks delivered in a very timely manner. The food was good, I had pasta which could have been a bit bigger, but then that’s because I’m a greedy B! 😜 My only criticism was the apply crumble wasn’t entirely defrosted!

Probably THE worst Wetherspoons establishment I have visited. On the 4 occasions I have been to Eastbourne my breakfast has been frankly terrible and on each occasion I have had to ask for the empty hot drink machines to be refilled. Today my plate was probably loaded from a distance with 1 burnt fried egg and 1 half cooked. About 8 cold baked beans and cold untoasted toast. Not particularly appetising really and about time the floor and tables were properly cleaned? Management be aware?

Didn't eat but the service was good and the place clean

Busy pub good atmosphere worth a visit

This place had a really good selection of beer and alcohol free beer! And great prices

Cold hard egg when asked for soft . Put me right off . Wouldn't do it again.

The food was of good quality and was brought to us very quickly and the staff were friendly and the place was fine not the best weather spoons I've ever been to but not bad at all

My friend and I had an early dinner here on a Monday night. Although we went about 6.30pm it was pretty full, and more tables did become available after we arrived. My friend had the fish and chips and I had the chicken tikka masala. We both enjoyed our meals. The only issue was the nam being quite solid as it had been microwaved but the curry is great value for money and very tasty. We ordered from the app and the food was promptly delivered to our table. We both had desserts, apple crumble and sticky toffee pudding. I added a portion of bananas to my pudding and that was a good addition.

The manager is obviously having some sort of mental breakdown She quite clearly doesn’t respect herself And intern doesn’t respect her customers Do not vist Until she is replaced

Service was quick however all staff look incredibly moody and angry and bring the atmosphere down tremendously.

Unfortunately, despite it only being 12.30pm, they had already run out of the Christmas roast dinners? Such a shame.

Dropped with friends after a chance meeting outside. Delighted to report it's still as good as it was 15 years back when I was a regular.

Standard spoons: loads of seats and mega cheap beer! 👍

I love spoons but this one isn't the best. It's OK but the staff seem uninterested and on more than one occasion I have had to ask for a glass when ordering a canned drink.

Slow food, not very good, lukewarm warm and not very tasty…..took so long I ended up with a parking ticket

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!

Standard Wetherspoons. Cheap and good beer selction

Had a great meal here, spicy chicken and rice, with a side of chicken wings,Mrs G had burrito salad, highly recommend.cheers to all

A very busy and large Spoons. Food was ok, but a little cold. This was a very busy Saturday just before Christmas. Food was hot when it arrived but cooled down very quickly.

It is a Wetherspoon .... Cheap drinks and people who like that......just only go for drinks....never eat there....and yet that is my opinion. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ For drinks.....only drinks. I would never eat there....just not that brave did I say 4 stard.for drinks

Excellent service, quick and competent staff, great location and menu. Good prices. Excellent

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 🥴

A moment of fun in an otherwise cruel world.we were both wearing shirts with the Norton logo.. but mine was on a t shirt i was wearing under another.. he got a surprise when i did a superman reveal to match with his Norton...

Quite a small place with usual tap beers and real ales. Carpeted throughout with nice tables and chairs. Beer was good at a good price. Staff were friendly and polite. Really nice visit.

Excellent selected food great prices for drinks, loads of seating

Great prices and food was lovely

Pretty average "spoons" usually short staffed, and always a long wait at the bar.

Break away with partner and son, food mediocre but it's what you pay for with cheap booze

Lovly place great food nice cosy all good prices friendly staff

Just went in for coffee . It's good coffee with lots of choices, £1.56 and free refills....bargain

Have breakfast regularly. Good value and quick service.

Always go here for a cheap drink and good atmosphere

Good for a curry and a glass of red wine at a very reasonable price.

Chicken was very undercooked, and very oily fried chicken was the worst and the taste was not good at all and we had a fly in our beer

Its Spoons, does what it says on the tin. Came in for their Traditional Breakfast, easy to order on the app, added extra hash brown. Polite waitress who checked on us. The coffee from the machine is actually pretty good. I do recommend the Espresso. I think they use Lavazza coffee.

Budget food at budget prices. Great coffee, hot drinks all refillable at low cost.

Wonderful experience today. Breakfast was spot on. The staff are amazing an asset to the company all of them. Friendly polite and helpful. Thanks for a great experience 😊

Great food and atmosphere very clean

Went for breakfast. Food was great, and they had a wide range of options at very reasonable prices. Ambience was pretty nice as well (we went on a Saturday morning, and it wasn’t too crowded). Toilets were also spacious and clean. Highly recommended.

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!

Fair prices and good products. The service is friendly and quick. However, something could be cleaned better. But we will come back, there is something cozy about it

I loved this place. I was student in 2020, and I was foreign, every sever were so kind and every food was so nice. My best pick was fish n chips and it's still my favorite

I'd never been to this Wetherspoons before, it's huge inside! Lovely day out in Eastbourne finished off with a meal. As usual the food was very good, nice atmosphere in the pub.

Very poor service at bar waited about ten minutes to be served when bar staff did come to serve me he walked of again to do the app and plus they didn't watch who was next very nice bounce on door and plenty

As locals, we use this place a couple of times a week. But mostly, we go to the London & county. As the staff are more friendly, better trained and a more comfortable environment.

Really handy and quite central if you want a meal and a pint. Had the steak and pepper sauce...not bad at all. Possibly a 5 or 6 minute walk to the beaches so you can easily walk it off. 2 minutes from Eastbourne train station.

This wasn't a bad wetherspoons, we went In at around 4pm as a group of 15 and the place was extremely busy so we had to Sit in the garden as nowhere else. Good pub good food and drinks but could do with getting some garden heaters

Good selection of drinks as always 👌🏻 really busy staff didn't really understand proper Yorkshire accent so slowed down an pushed up a bit here's a shocker the toilets were on the same floor as bar ground floor wow 😳😲

Excellent large mixed grills with pints of Guinness, great service, friendly atmosphere, top notch! Thank you so much!

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? Wish I had gone to the co-op next door and sat and drunk out of the can at the bus-stop

Oh dear! After visiting this Spoons regularly and other Spoons all over the country last night was the worse we have had. Please put it right.

Poor service, no one checked to see if food was ok, mixed grill over cooked. Pudding nuked in microwave and ice cream had lumps of ice it in. Only plus is price of beer, recommend to drink here not to eat

My Girlfriend Sue a mature woman hadn't ever been to a Wetherspoons , or Launderette, So being in the holiday mood after traveling 251 miles . Had looked up the reviews Cornfield Garage , Hooray she loved the meal bought me pint of Guinness Sue had pint of Stella . Cheers me dears

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!

Popped in for a quick late breakfast all prepared and brought to our table in no time..next time we are in Eastbourne I think another visit must happen.

Beautiful place. Staff really attentive. Will return.

What an amazing deal...a 2 course meal for 2 for about £20.I had cod and chips plus FRESH orange juice,my husband steak and kidney pudding plus milk,ice-cream plus sauce x 2 Staff are great(especially short dark haired lady,young man dark skinned,beard. Lots of customers...no wonder is it ? Thoroughly recommend

If you're 16-18 you'll be in your element, otherwise don't bother.

Lovely staff. Quick service. And cheap as you like. And they do Leffe.

Excellent service, great value and good quality food. Very clean and spacious with friendly staff. Every week I'm here there's always difficulty connecting to the WiFi. A bit disappointing as the mobile signal inside is weak, this makes ordering through the app a chore.

I sat outside with my bike. The service (using their App and table number) was rapid. Maybe 5 minutes for the drink and another 5 for the Chicken Tikka.

First time out into Eastbourne town on a Friday night for many years, very busy pub with a great atmosphere

Popped in for a coffee on our way to the hotel. Wonderful old building with a lovely atmosphere.

Got a small wrap and drink. Good price but the wrap was very wet and leaked with juices when it wasn’t meant to!

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%

Breakfast was cold but being hungry I ate it anyway..

Bright and airy, this 'Spoons' is our favourite. Open log fire in the winter, large partially sheltered garden patio, and the usual range of beers and menu. Great for a family during the day.

It's a Wetherspoons! It's a large one, we managed to get a table here unlike the other Wetherspoons in Eastbourne, but it was almost the last one. Very busy, great service and kept clean and tidy.

It's a spoons,it does what it says on the tin,

Good old Spoons, near the station, lovely staff, no complains. As in many Wetherspoon establishments, toilets are especially well thought-through 😎

Nice atmosphere, only had drinks

Typical Wetherspoons, food and service is good .Plenty of seating at the rear. Toilets on the ground floor is a bonus. Eaten here many times, I would recommend this place and will return.

I would recommend this Wetherspoons to anyone who asks. 1st class experience from the staff to the food. The choice of drinks was as expected excellent.

Bar staff don't give a toss who jumps the queue to get served, they will serve anyone in any order.Possibly the worst Wetherspoon pub I have had the misfortune to visit, The nearby London & Country Wetherspoon pub is far better with better staff.

Quite a poor wetherspoons. Don't have a lot of the regular ale you would expect, and they don't bother indicating that they are out.

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!

Dirty un cleaned tables .. condiments nearly all empty .. bar staff clearly can’t cope serving on a Saturday afternoon and early evening.. don’t get me started on the ladies toilets either as sanitary bins well and truely over flowing .. no loo rolls .. we complain and was told oh we are under staffed .. bar didn’t have vodkas or wines or some beers .. wwe were told our manager didn’t place the order .. totally disappointed and won’t be returning again to this un pleasant so called pub

You won’t find any worse service or food around, awful

It is 5 star not because it is exceptional food or atmosphere but because it is just all-around value for money. Quick, friendly, and helpful staff.

A nice pint of ruddles, followed by a latte......nice

It is what it is a spoons. I had a burger, it wasn't the best but it was good enough and the beer wasn't bad

Ordered a small breakfast and a Vegan breakfast , when arrived a large breakfast and small breakfast came , then waited a further 2o mins for breakfast 🤨, and to top it off they charged us for the large and small which was more expensive, and asked for management and never came over to apologise! Even though thr young man got it wrong when Ordered he was all on his own and no-one came to help him

Good service, quicker if you pay on the app. There's the normal great Wetherspoons menu with has something for everyone.
