Dew Drop Inn in Eastbourne

Outstanding bar with fabulous interiors. Very decent set of taps, we were lucky even to catch a cask cider. Very much recommend.

I really like this place. A Blue Moon diligently served by a couple of lovely staff to the accompaniment of Alex Reece on the sound system. Great stuff. Oldie worldie and modern marvellousness in one beautifully-smelling package.

Good spot for a drink, lovely atmosphere, good music, excellent location. All-round good pub 👌

Great pub with a good menu... well as long as you like burgers that is. They have gluten free buns and choices if needed. I would also say this is a pub of many appearances. From a quiet local to a vibrant lively Dj led hot spot.

Great food as always, hot, fresh and delivered early 👌

Very tasty. Definitely do the best burgers in Eastbourne. 👌

Amazing burgers (very good lunchtime deal), and beautiful garden to sit in on the sunniest day of the year.

Nice cool vibe pub in town centre

Cool place, very funky. Good atmosphere, good drinks. They have life music sometimes or a dj. I don't like the toilets which everything is sticky there... Food is really good but very poor menu.

Really good vibes in the pub, we ordered two types of loaded fries (maple chilli, cheese bacon) which were both delicious!! Would recommend to visit

Order took nearly 2hr from when I placed the order. I rung the restaurant they said unfortunately your driver kept not turning up which was pre-longing delivery time. Quality of food was good only issue was it was going cold. Due to just eat drivers not turning up previously.

Only popped in for a pint, friendly staff but was quiet as quite early. didn't eat but have before, and was good.

Good pub with great beers Food good too.

Wonderful service from the friendly staff. Good selection of beers. Nice relaxing atmosphere, can't complain

Amazing staff and excellent beer! We shall return!

I had a wonderful solo dining experience at the Dew Drop Inn. Darsey was very welcoming and kind, making me feel right at home. The food was fantastic. Highly recommended!

Love this funky pub. Fantastic staff excellent burgers. 5 🌟 🙂

Cool atmosphere, cozy & nice crowd. Helpfull staff & they have probs the best burgers in Eastbourne

delicious and still piping hot. Very very pleased with my smashing burger and the quick delivery

Had a few drinks and some snacks , nice atmosphere.. reccomend “old Rosie” cider 6.8% abv, makes for an interesting evening

Super rude to our group. Would not accept our Chinese friends BRITISH RESIDENCE PERMIT for age verification...as it's not a "British ID".... didn't ask any of the British people for IDs but would not serve any of the Italian or non-American people....

An old favourite when in South Street. Great ale!

Amazing! Fantastic! Wonderful! Cosy! Loved it ,loved it,loooooved it! Very friendly bar staff and chef brought in the food, I thought that's a nice touch. They have a very cosy seating indoors and a wonderful garden. Food is tasty! Vibe is soooo cozy! It's the best pub I have visited in Eastbourne in my opinion:) would recommend stopping by at least for a drink;)

Friendly pub. full on a Thursday afternoon. Bitter was very nice.

Had to heat up the food after receiving it.

Don’t let people in if they don’t have an English ID. Went to the pub with a group of friends (ALL WORK FOR THE NHS AT EASTBOURNE HOSPITAL) and were refused entry because one was Irish and one was American. Doormen stated that the new policy is they don’t let anyone in without an English ID. Both had ID and even a residency work permit but were still refused entry. Crazy policy. How are you meant to have an English ID if you aren’t English. Won’t be returning.

Great pub and atmosphere good mix of clientele

Really enjoyed the atmosphere. Staff super friendly . Will definitely be back

Always a lovely visit. Staff are fantastic

Great pub. Dog friendly. Nice beer garden / smoking area in the back. Staff was super friendly. Food was great although I'd give it 4.5/5 if possible.

Lovely pub with vegan and gluten free options. Food was delicious, and so were the cocktails. Service was friendly, and the pub is cosy. I think they're dog friendly too.

Was a quiet Monday. Pretty empty. Lavs could do with a good clean. Handrail up the stairs to the bogs a bit sticky. Urrgh. Beer OK. Nice chilled vibes. Yeah. I'd go back. But I'd take some wet wipes.

They didn't let me in because they said that i have a foreign ID...

Didn't eat so be unfair to give a review on food. Tbf I don't even know if they do food. Went there late the other evening with a few friends, staff were lovely and friendly, good quick service even though it was busy and they did me a cup of tea as well as I was desi for the night. Nice atmosphere. So yes would recommend for a pint or an evening.

Brilliant little pub. Dog friendly to the max! Burgers are the mainstay, so they do it very well. Such a friendly atmosphere. The type of pub you can go into alone and end up with mates lol

This pub is super nice, with great decor, selection of drinks and chilled vibes. It is unfortunately let down by the extravagant prices I paid £6.40 for a guiness. A pint of neck oil will set you back £7.50. Such a shame as its a really nice place. Needs to realise its in Eastbourne, not central London.

Friendly staff, good food and a real pub atmosphere

The Dew Drop is a very welcoming pub. I can't fault their burgers & fries; and their selection of beers is very satisfactory.

Excellent beer range, plus friendly staff and locals.

Popped in for a pint, really nice pub, great atmosphere with a great seating and a beer garden!

We had a nice meal and some drinks at the dew drop. The staff are friendly and portion sizes are very good. It was very busy (to be expected on a Saturday night) so we ended up sat outside but thankfully they have heaters!

Friendly staff, good beer, great food and killer cocktails. I had a burger which combined being tasty with also being able to be picked up and eaten. Plenty of options for my son who is allergic to milk and eggs. Only thing which could have made it better for me would be having rock music in the background

ah they dropped the ball this time. gutted. burger isn't juicy at all. Possibly too dry.

Ordered the Stack Your Chick Up with fries, wasn't disappointed. If you like a hefty portion the Dew Drop always deliver. Everything was perfectly cooked and arrived piping hot. Was deliciously messy to eat, cheers guys

Without a doubt - the best burgers you can have delivered here in Eastbourne. We ordered the bacon & brie burger (next level), the spicy chicken burger (insanely good) and the BBQ loaded fries. The loaded were not big enough to share. So, one each next time. I honestly think the burger was the best burger I've ever had. I think this place takes the crown from Ramos.

Lovely pub in the middle of the town centre. The food was really delicious and did not need to even wait 20 minutes for it. There is only one thing to mention what wasn't 5 star, it is the location of our table. It was a tiny table between the toilet and the entrance door... but will be back and will ask for a table somewhere else. Staff is incredibly nice and very friendly.

I had the 'Fight For Your Right To Patty': which is a patty, cheese, pickles and onions sandwiched between two slices of texas toast. A pint to wash it down. A thoroughly enjoyable experience which was highlighted by did I want my beer in a glass or a jug. Perfect question on a lovely day with a friend. I had a jug! The lunch time deal is a good deal indeed.

Another update on this fantastic place, vegan pie burger and chilly fries (see photo), bliss... Update: after visiting another place nearby and being very disappointed, this place is like the polar opposite, friendly helpful staff, nice atmosphere, clean and fantastic hot food, still highly recommend the Vegan food here, especially the satay burger. Love this pub, a cheery welcome on arrival, explaining the whole covid proceedure clearly, quick service, well spaced out tables, fantastic vegan food. Complete contrast to another pub nearby we tried to goto.

Lovely experience last night. Beautiful calm atmosphere with its unique beautiful interior. We left smiling and full!! Food service was brilliant 👏 Food it self was absolutely delish.... the food combos and flavours of the burgers where spot on and morish. Loaded fries where epic 😋 Cocktails so different and flavoursome Highly recommend- living tequila loca and the - jam shot ! Looking forward to going back 😀

Good atmosphere. Good beer selection. Still good.

Great food hot and delicious, driver happy guy

Far too expensive and drinks temperature tepid

Great pub, lively and a great atmosphere

Really lovely little pub 🍻 great atmosphere 😊

Very good burgers, good music and friendly staff.

A meat eater, a vegetarian and a vegan went out for lunch and we were all delighted!! A friend had come to visit and we wanted to show him Little Chelsea. The Dew Drop is the jewel in the crown. You'd have to go a long way to find a better burger. Sorry no pics because we were all hungry. Friendly staff, comfy sofas and above all it was nice and cosy on a freezing cold day! Top place 😊

Been there for new year's eve ,didn't eat .nice music .Recommended for a good night out .

So delicious, full of flavours and fresh. Will be ordering again

Consistently brilliant quality from Dew Drop Inn. Always super tasty! 😋

The delivery driver never delivered our order. Nor did they attempt to get in touch.

We stopped by for a pint and ended up lingering far longer, captivated by the incredible ambiance of this pub. Its prime location and cozy, intimate setting create a truly inviting atmosphere.

Went to this pub with a group of ten colleagues, the youngest of which were in their late twenties. Two of our group got asked for ID and despite showing images of their passports were not allowed to buy a drink. It seemed beyond a coincidence that these two were the only two Asian members of our party. Disappointed to see in other reviews that this is not the first occasion this has happened. Flagrant racism- this spoiled our evening- we won't be returning.

Driver left order on doorstep without making any attempt to notify me it had arrived. Awful service from delivery person.

Amazing food, drinks and service

The place is lovely both outside and in. We had roast beef and lamb. The meat and gravy were delicious and the veg very nice and fresh. However, that’s were the good points end really. The food came suspiciously quickly like within a few minutes of ordering and there were only 3 potatoes when the meal cost £21 pounds each, which seemeed mean, all of which were overdone and dry. It tasted reheated. The Yorkshire’s also overdone and too hard and dry. The veg for some reason comes as a shared plate for two and there wasn’t enough for two people really. Again mean for the price. No one checked back to see if the food was ok nor when they collected the plates. When we left feedback at the desk when leaving, the staff didn’t Really sound like they cared, although they did promise to pass it on to the kitchen staff. Disappointing on the whole.

Food was delicious, had the "Drop it like it's hot" burger, soooo good.

£17 just for burger and chips? £17!! Are you serious? If you wanted a pint youd be looking at £21/22.. absolutely ridiculous! Blame 'Inflation' all you want.. that's called greed! You dont need to charging that amount for burger/chips/pint. It's almost actually offensive. I think they over estimate themselves to thinking charging that much is ok. Apart from the extortionate prices... it was clean enough areas, and atmosphere was pleasant, with respectful, and decent bar staff.

Def better quality in the pub, but still nice.

My friends and I tried getting in with our valid BRPs (government-valid IDs). However, the guard outside did not let us in and told that we needed either UK driver's license or a UK passport to be able to get in as per the bar policy. My partner and I have visited here multiple times before and this has never happened before. More than a policy issue, it seemed a very race/nationality-based gatekeeping.

Great selection of booze - local real ales, fancy guns etc. Very friendly staff. Gorgeous-looking interior decor. Good outdoor area.

Really nice pub! Staff were super friendly. Food looked amazing (althought didn't order any myself). Will be heading back at some point to try the food!

The burgers and fries were delicious albeit on the more expensive side of a burger and fries. Ordered here from a recommendation from a friend and I’m not disappointed with the food and the quality, just the price.

Fantastic food, well cooked with great ingredients. The fries were nice and crispy, too.

I came here twice now and had a good time. Its dog friendly and has a nice outdoor garden. I ordered food which is burgers or wings. The beer selection is great and prices are high average. This place would be great for a date to catch up with friends or a cheeky pint or cocktail.

Almost £20 for burger and fries so it's in 5Guys territory.... However, it's just as good! The Chicken or Beef burgers are superb! You will not be disappointed.

Utterly charming helpful staff, fantastic vegan hotdog for me, meat dish for my friend, well priced bottle of wine. Dog made welcome. Sat in the garden at the back. Food was lovely, very relaxed and happy vibe. Will definitely go back

Great pub with great food, dog friendly too

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Dew Drop in Eastbourne and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. This hidden gem is a must-visit for burger lovers in town. The burgers at the Dew Drop are simply the best. Each bite was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The menu offers a variety of options, from classic cheeseburgers to unique and creative combinations. The quality of the ingredients used was evident, and the portion sizes were generous. Whether you're a meat lover or prefer vegetarian options, there is something for everyone. The pub atmosphere at the Dew Drop is what truly sets it apart. It has a quirky and charming vibe that instantly makes you feel at home. The staff is friendly and welcoming, creating a warm and inviting environment. It's the perfect place to relax, enjoy a delicious burger, and have a great time with friends or family. In addition to the amazing burgers, the Dew Drop also offers a great selection of drinks. From craft beers to refreshing cocktails, there is something to quench every thirst. The bar staff is knowledgeable and can recommend the perfect drink to complement your meal. Overall, I highly recommend the Dew Drop to anyone looking for the best burgers in town and a unique pub experience. The combination of mouthwatering food, corky atmosphere, and friendly staff make it a standout choice in Eastbourne. I can't wait to visit again and try more of their delicious offerings.

Went Saturday evening and it seems noone here knows how to keep real ale - had a pint of something which I wouldn't even put on my fish and chips + it's expensive and unhygienic. Supervisor on shift (blonde bloke) was extremely rude when I raised issues and was also rude to staff. Not a welcoming place for older clientele

Very cool pub with fun decor inside and a good selection of beers and friendly staff

Came here for a little birthday lunch, and I have to say that burger I had was hands down the best burger I’ve ever had. It was the vegan version of the bacon and Brie one. Mind blown. When I say it was the best burger I’ve ever had, this includes when I wasn’t vegan. The fact the chef can veganise just about anything on the menu is brilliant too! Coming back very soon, needs me another burger!

Lovely atmosphere good variety of beer

One of the most amazing places to get beers and food. Suggest others to turn up and get the stuff. 10/10.

The Dew Drop is always banging, the staff are lovely, friendly and welcoming, the food was still hot and in solid boxes so there was no spillage when we collected it and it tasted incredible! Love this place

THE BEST VEGAN SHIZZ IN EASTBOURNE, KEEP IT UP

Best place in town for food and beer, would recommend to all

Lovely place for a drink game of pool or darts great beer garden

Went early evening on a Friday, got a table no problem but by the late evening it was very busy but still a good vibe. Food was so so good, the staff were super friendly and the cocktails were very nice. Toilets were clean.

Lovely staff. Didnt have food, so can't comment. But, very smelly sadly.

Nice pub staff very positive and helful

I am from eastbourne originally and regularly went to this pub. The last three visits (over a six month period) I have been very disappointed. The reason is that it is not clean at all. All the carpets are black and sticky, the stairs and rails up to the loos are black and sticky. The men's loos smell so bad, the walls are black and grimy, the urinal cystern has stuff growing on it. Utterly disgusting. These are the areas we can see, imagine the back office and kitchens.... This level of attention is totally unacceptable in this day and age! I hope they read this and get it sorted, it was one of my favourite place to have a drink.

There is a daily dear so it's a great place for lunch. The staff is great, prices are alright. Burgers were devine about a year ago, they must have changed the 🧾 as they are "only" super good nowadays.

Great atmosphere. Nice and busy

Interesting green tile exterior. Great pub inside with heavy metal background music. Poor barman had a crooked arm but the service was fast and friendly. Good range of beers at London prices.

Great place to visit and have a pint

Nice vibe and vegan options here. Good for a group, and a handy location.

For the price I was kinda shocked. Chips was sold and cheese had gone hard- to much chilli Jam in the burger, Definitely worth having in instead of takeway tho

Great pub. Nice back bit where is a sun trap.

Delightful place ,great staff,excellent ales and dog friendly

Fight for your right to patty was amazing! Full of flavour, a tad greasy but that added to flavour (plenty of napkins provided too). Really pleased I tried it. Very filling! However, loaded cheese, bacon & onion fries were stone cold. The cheese didn't even begin to melt. It was also a VERY small portion for the price. I have a feeling they forgot to cook the fries and we got what was leftover from the last lot.
