Eastbourne Pier in Eastbourne - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Dangerous roll of corrugated steel left at the end of the pier that I walked into and tore my trousers that can’t be repaired. Also I’m disabled, and I suffered an open wound to my back leg (I have lymphoedema) so a bit ridiculous. Clearly a health & safety hazard. I’ve left a message on the pier owners voicemail.

Although quite attractive from a distance, this pier, like Brighton Pier, looked rather tacky up close. The Victorian architecture was interesting and the Victoria Tea Rooms looked much more appealing than the array of shops and 'family amusements' that left us cold. However, young children, carefully supervised, might think it was a wonderful experience. There were some nice views back toward the shore.

This is a quintessential English pier, so nice to see it's clean and tidy and with various attractions and shops to look at whilst walking up and down.

Spacious Tea Rooms with plenty choice of food. Staff couldn't be more helpful and it was a welcome stop after a busy day.

Gobsmackingly high prices in the Victorian Tea Shop. £3 for a small Americano and a smidgen of milk. £3 for one PG tips tea-bag in a 'pot of tea for one.' And the staff - managed by a temp. student - need to smile. Customer service costs nothing even if the drinks are over-priced. BTW don't even thing of the prices of the small portions of cakes. Toilet opens directly into the seating area - yuck!!

Nice pier we had a drink at the pub at the end. OK for a stroll around it though some of it closed for renovations.

It is difficult and expensive to park anywhere close to the pier so I went for a walk during the evening at about 10pm. The pier was very dark and deserted. Many of the rooms and buildings were empty and obviously not in use for anything. I had read about a night club at the end but no sign of it at all during an August evening. There seemed to be a bar which might have been open but had no one inside. It seems reasonably well maintained but without any attractive activities I cannot see how it can continue for very long.

It's perfectly ok. The bar is reasonably priced and there is plenty of seating, indoor and out. Not much else was open so difficult to review.

Had a nice visit to this Victorian period time warp piece of history ! Just as you’d imagine it to be ! You can imagine the Victorians in their finery, walking along the boardwalk ! Just wonderful !

A lot of the pier was closed for renovation, it was nice to walk around though and the arcade at the end was open which was good fun. the views are great and its still worth a stroll around it.

The pier is currently closed but the walk around it was good and enjoyable. Very windy but sunny. We had an ice cream and took a walk to the cliffs. Loved it.

Love coming here since I was a child ! Lovely views Love just watching the sea and wildlife around !

Me and my colleagues decided to arrange a Christmas Party for us to celebrate together. So, we got together 14 of us and booked a day with the Ocean Suit (Eastbourne Pier) and paid a deposit of £10 per person with the remaining to be paid on the day of the party. We originally booked for 23rd November then they asked us to change the date to 30th November which we agreed then 2 weeks before they asked us to change again to 7th December which this time we couldn't make it and asked for our refund back. We had some comunication about this matter with them but as the time approached they stopped responding to us and we ended up not having the party neither our money back. We never heard from them again, although we attempted to contact them via email and message them on they Facebook page, a completely silent! For them it may not be a lot of money but for some of the people who paid it is more than what they get for a hour of they work. Customer service and principal is a big ZERO!

Lovely views on a beautiful day,plenty of seating for a rest ,amusements, tea room,gift shop that was reasonably priced

the pier was very interesting we walked down to the end ,it was very windy.More could be done with it.

Good to see the Pier all repaired since the fire, there is a lot more space on the front of Pier since Fire, could do with some more wind breaks, nice cafes and restaurants towards the end, lovely in the summer.

lovely friendly staff and beautiful view of the sea.food was lovely,and quick service.the cream teas was very nice,better if you could have a option for plain or fruit scones.

A delightful place to stop for refreshments. Always busy so seating can be a scramble and service a little slow. Great ambience and a fantastic place for a hot chocolate when the cold wind blows on the pier!

The pier has 2 places on it that I would recommend visiting and they are the Victoiran Tea Room and The Glass Studio.If you want a quiet relaxing refreshment time then the Victorian Tea Room is perfect, with waiter service and a good choice of things to eat and drink it is worth a visit.Also a visit to the Glass Studio is a must, all the pieces on sale there are hand made on site.

Thought we would go for scone tea when we got there manager said they never had know scones which is bad fora tea room,coffee wasn't all that and my husband tea was week,Didnt think bit look clean there either we was sitting near a Hoover and mop won't go therecagain

Worth a walk around the pier though the 'attractions' are limited, and a little pricey in my view. There were some excellent views though.

we visited the pier several times on our stay as our hotel was not far away if you walk to the end of the pier there is an arcade and several places to get a drink nice walk on a nice day

Very clean, no rubbish around. Lovely ice cream at the entrance and inviting Victoria Tea Rooms, unfortunately we did not go in this visit but next time definitely find time to have an afternoon tea

La hora del almuerzo estaba llamando así que decidimos comer en la Suite Ocean. Ha habido una reforma importante desde la última vez que visitamos hace cinco años. Es increíble allí con un montón de recuerdos musicales, la gente venía a mirar las fotos en la pared. Uno de mis favoritos estaba allí en la pared, Blues Brothers.

Tuvimos un té encantador, mi única crítica es que los pasteles grandes que usan para el té no son crema fresca, la selección de sándwiches podría ser un poco más aventurera que el queso y el jamón, el queso y el tomate, bien hecho, personal encantador, volvería y sí. lo recomendaría también

Nice long pier with ice cream and very nice cafe with chandeliers. Needs bit of painting which I think they are doing. Nice views of Eastbourne

The food in the restaurant just when you walk in on the pier was good but the place itself would need some diy and painting as it’s dirty. We had to clean tables ourselves to eat inside the food itself was good.

Love a pier at the seaside, thought this one was a little empty though. Also thought it was strange that you coudln't eat/drink on the pier and you couldn't fish from it - I thought all piers had fisherman/women on the end. Couple of decent shops on the pier such as the glass shop and sweet shop but not much else to do.

The pier is clean and has several eateries. Worth a wander down to the end but not as good as, say, Southwold which has more things to do.

Decided to take afternoon tea here - lovely, and very reasonably priced. Good cup of tea, and lovely fresh scones

Acabo de dar un paseo por el muelle. . es muy lindo y sería encantador en un día soleado o temprano en la noche. . . Caminamos hasta el final y fue una hermosa vista a la playa. . Es una pena que el café vintage estuviera cerrado cuando fuimos, pero no importa. . .

Als je van gokken houd kun je er even verblijven maar het is voor ons geen plaats om lang rond te slenteren

Recently sold now looks like a mosque. Bars have been shut and fishing banned from the end of the pier, much to the chagrin of locals. Still has ice cream!

Nice Pier. Well maintained, lots of activities, free addmission. This is a very well looked after clean pier.

Scone was a bit hard but good tea, lovely clotted cream and strawberry jam. Super seat by the window and we watched the world go by .Reasonable toilets and great chandelier !Visited on 28th August 2018.

It’s a nice pier and it is also free. The views are great but there’s not a lot here apart from the Victorian tea rooms and a couple of arcade amusements. Definitely worth a visit though.

The sales pitch was to view the Airbourne displays at the Ocean Suite. "On Friday 18th August we will be hosting a corporate luncheon". "Both Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th we will be having a BBQ for all the family. A perfect day for all the family". With that promise to have seats to view the flying displays and enjoy a BBQ, we booked two tickets in February for the display in August. A week before the event, we received an email from the ;Event Manager' that there would be a Table Plan. When we arrived at the Ocean Suite (1) there was no Table Plan (2) they had ousted the families in favour o all the tables with views cordoned off for a corporate luncheon. The loud mouthed incompetent 'Event Manager' said the corporates had paid a lot of money and that we the families had no rights. Her customer attitude was abysmal. She could not care less. Eventually another 'manager' showed us to a trestle table outside where we sat and shivered. The corporates were given priority to the BBQ. And only then we were allowed to serve ourselves to paper plates and plastic knives and forks and food. As always the air display was superb. But, never again will I set foot in that disgraceful place on Eastbourne Pier.

very clean and coulfull ,a Joy too Stroll along,very 1920 - 1930 style.tea and cakes or fish &chips; if peckish & reasonably priced lots of seating ,for a look out too sea or sit in peace and quite....great

Pier was nice to walk along and had great views all aound. Nice vintage tea room but had expensive bar towards the end of pier. Had a few arcade rooms although very small and not much selection for all ages.

We had taken the bus down the coast from Brighton for the day and, while walking the pier, came upon this tea house. We thought this would be a nice place for an afternoon snack as it was quite lovely inside. We weren't in the mood for "high tea" but ordered tea, coffee, and a couple of sandwiches that sounded good. Our tea and coffee arrived, and we sat for over 20 minutes waiting for the sandwiches. We finally decided we were over the wait and when my husband went to the register to cancel the sandwiches, he found they had never been ordered. No wonder the staff kept glancing in our direction. You expect wait staff to understand the order they've been given and this was quite a disappointing experience.

Its just the structure with a couple of cheesy arcade games. Its basically falling down and needs revamping if any invester ever buys it,

The Victoria tea rooms on the pier is worth a visit ,their afternoon tea is excellent .Their scones are delicious .A pleasure to sit in a lovely clean nostalgic atmosphere. The pier itself was very nice and clean to walk along .

Lovely landmark of Eastbourne. No charge for entry. Nice views from either side. Good views of Beachy head and other to way to sovereign harbour.

The Victorian Tea Rooms on the pier, a must do, beautiful afternoon tea, and the decor is wonderful.

its very nice to have a walk round but found shops and bar ect very expensive, so didn't really spend much time on it

Great bar at the end & good places to grab some food. However there's not a huge amount for kids to do, only a little arcade.

Wonderful old tea rooms on the pier with some of the best scones we have had in England. It was quite busy but the staff were friendly and efficient.

We had been for a walk on the pier this morning saw this tea shop and earmarked it for an afternoon tea this afternoon. It's glamorous inside. Beautiful chandeliers white table clothes lovely. But when we arrived at 3-45pm tea time in the UK I would say there was NO SCONES!!! Sorry we have been busy.Mothers Day weekend I would think it would be, so why are you not prepared? I would of walked out as others did, but my husband wanted a cuppa. Lost a lot of business there and it shows such promise.

Visited here on a wet Friday and had a couple of us had scones which were OK and the other two had sandwiches which were fine. Prawn Marie was well filled, but the brown bread was tasteless. Nice eclectic interior with decent service.

its ok as Piers go but not much on it. there is a pub and I believe a function room, but apart from the few shops on the way in there is nothing much to do or see

the pier was open everyday but their was very little on it a couple of arcades no staff so if you won a prize but could not get it nothing youcould do only a couple of shops open ten miniutesis all it would take to see it all very poor

After fire pier has been renovated there are a few shops chip shop some machines nice gift shop along the pier you can walk right round.

what a shame this wasnt thought about when re build only 2 shops a few slot machines & thats it very disappointing real shame could of been thriving lovely day and was empty

Ocean View at the end of the pier is disappointing. There is so much opportunity to create a lovely eating and drinking area at the end of the pier even perhaps music. Toilets are poor and overall service is not good. Why with such a lovely venue is it not being made into a great area to be for the residents of Eastbourne?

Era agradable caminar por el muelle y las pequeñas tiendas, que compramos artículos de vidrio

Alquilamos este local porque era diferente de la norma. La vista desde la suite Ocean era precioso. Todo el mundo hablaba de ella. La comida era excelente, el personal es excepcional. Nuestro planificador de bodas por desgracia cayó enfermo pero Ruben se plantó en y estaba impecable que era estupendo. Todo el mundo tenía un gran día no puedo alabar el personal suficiente. Si te gusta el mar, entonces este es el lugar para casarse.

Muelle precioso, un montón de zonas para sentarse. Un par de tiendas. Muy bien renovada. No están mal de precios. Un salón de té pintoresco en el medio del muelle

No mucho, pero un extraño juegos arcade pub/club y un poco de té/café, en decir que está en consonancia con la calma de Eastbourne en sí :).

Muy relajante paseo en el embarcadero. Se puede conseguir comida y bebidas a precios razonables. No hay muchos paseos para niños, así que conseguir el equilibrio adecuado de personas. Muy agradable con unas vistas impresionantes.

Nos estábamos alojando en Eastbourne, justo enfrente del muelle, así que tuvimos que tener un paseo. Atracciones, pescado y patatas fritas, té habitaciones (muy buen bar), unas vistas preciosas.

El muelle de eastbourne desde su ha reparado ya que el fuego tiene muy poco ahora. Solía tener una gran área de diversiones cubierto para los niños que ya no tiene ahora. Parece bastante vacío ahora. Aún en un agradable paseo y sentarse y relajarse y tomar el sol.

Restored but not overly busy with too many amusements and fast food candle floss type stalls that some other piers have and that make them tacky and not modern - just the right mix here

since the fire the pier is now an attraction and lovely and new. It has been freshly painted and lots of seats to take in the view

Visited with friends and we're very impressed with the pier, which apparently was voted the best in England. Free entry.Lots of open space. No fishing weekends or bank holidays. Small cafe on elevated section with great views.

I visited the pier with my 11 year old son in September.There has been a refit since a recent fire. The arcade that is there, was not maned by any staff, so when coins got stuck there was no chance of return.Although the pier does look nice (apart from the awful tacky gold on the tower tops) there is now not a lot to do on the pier and a lack of shops that used to be entertaining and fun for children. We walked along to the end, the views are really good and we definitely had fun, but the pier it self could be greatly improved.It was still a nice little trip but more entertainment would have made it better.

A beautiful Victorian pier, thankfully restored now after a horrific fire. Sadly it had lost its main building and there is now a large wooden deck. The pier has been painted with rather a lot of lions (a favourite of the owner) which are really not in keeping with the Victorian structure. However overall its a much improved pier with a lovely tearoom in the middle, well worth a visit.

Worth a visit....lots of its victorian features still exist...nice eating places...very impressive building at the end of the pier...and steps down to various levels...most intersting

During two days visit, we spent very less time as nothing much during Oct end term. only one fish & chip shop that is even ok. There is one Cafee shop. Pier was quite as compare to other Pier.If you near by hotel, morning/evenig tea or coffe would be good idea.

The Victorian Tea Rooms on pier well worth a visit. Beautiful inside with chandeliers etc. Excellent coffee, tea and scones and meals available and would highly recommend.

Peir is OK but with no slot machine there now we tend not to go round it now my grandchildren used to like the slots

Just perfect going back in time for a stroll on a Victorian Pier with the ice cream parlour and chippy and bandits and even a tea room,well worth a visit

If you want seafood also pie and mash the pier is ok but needs attention and their is a pub at the end which you can get refreshments

We were staying in Eastbourne for the weekend, so had to go on the Pier. Couple of shops, 1 selling Nik Naks & Christmas bits, the other Glass Figures. If you fancy a Tea or Coffee go into The Victorian Tea Room. Great Service !

Last time visited was after the unfortunate fire which gutted the machines arcade and there was a huge hole with scaffolding all around. Wow!! what an amazing repair job done, but alas no fun to be had in amongst the machines although there is a very tiny arcade past the Victorian Tea Room. At the moment there is no clutter as you enter the pier, it is such a wide clean area with lots of seats and tables. The afternoon tea is just amazing in the Victorian Tea Room with huge home-made sones and wonderful cake

After the fire destroyed the first part of the pier area, nice to see it re-done with more entrance space but still with the shops and cafes plus bar and even a night club. Lots of gold painted turrets and new lion heads on the posts. Don't miss a walk around it.

A lot of repairs and painting have been done since our last visit. What we saw of the Ocean Suite looked very good and work on the dome will hopefully be completed soon.

A lovely place for a pleasant walk or sit and relax as lovely views all around. Cafes and a bar for light refreshments and everywhere spotlessly clean.

Although we didn't partake of afternoon tea, the Tea Rooms looked wonderful with it's huge chandeliers. Next time definitely. We did buy ice creams as we entered and enjoyed the beautiful views of Eastbourne as we strolled along the pier. There are several old style amusement arcades, a quaint souvenir shop and even a hand blown glass shop. All in all, a lovely way to spend an hour in a good old fashioned way, strolling along the pier. Great.

Go to the Victorian tea shop for tea and cakes! Wonderful service, have a view of the sea....take your time..enjoy.

Great value and really nice place to be for afternoon tea, great afternoon, well done Eastbourne on bring back an old attraction from the brink

lovely sandwiches ,nicely set out tables with tablecloths and proper non drippy teapots and china cakes are a must view excellent ,staff helpful

The fish and chip shop on the pier was lovely. The staff were nice and the food was delicious, we ate inside as the seagulls tend to hover if you eat out on the pier.

Lovely well kept pier. Must visit the Victorian Tea Rom for afternoon tea. Not a very long pier but good for older persons

We'd never been to Eastbourne before and found it generally friendly, clean and tidy, a decent choice of places to stay and eat.It's a very nice place.If you want razzmatazz, kiss me quick and a wall to wall pub crawl you'll be disappointed.If you want quiet and civilised you'll be pleased

Now beautifully painted in blue and gold, which has replaced the old rather drabpaintwork. Looks absolutely superb when the sun shines upon it, especially the dome..Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Great Victorian pier and looking good after the fire. It now needs some interesting shops/stalls along the middle near the entrance. I guess the ones that were there before were destroyed in the fire.

Thought we would have tea on the pier. The servers, (ours was just 10 days in the country), were slow and disinterested in anything. no personality, no welcoming smiles or happy faces.and no one looked much over 24. Not much English so you could not even start a conversation. The tea was OK and the scones, well, not made on site or warm.

apart from the distorted music from the speaker it was delightful with shops along the way. Clean and well 'decorated' with eating places and amusements proliferating the area.

Visited with my children recently ,how very sad and will not go back !!The present owner has ruined what was once a true traditional landmark, numerous signs at the entrance forbidding food,drink etc ghastly gold painted domes completely out of place , absolutely nothing on there of interest except the view. What a shame this has happened to a place where for many years has provided a fun family traditional atmosphere! !!!

It had been a while, so a day out in Eastbourne, the pier was a formality.... My wife had told me about the news story that had broke regards the investment v the council..... Boo boo. A wealthy business man has spent large sums, regenerated parts, employs 70 odd staff, no problem then, well not unless your council sticks it nose in.... Big shame.... Thoroughly enjoyed the hour or so, clean, seating, food very busy, so ate else where, very busy with Pokemon hunters. Worth a visit

Went with friends for day out rather disappointed not a lot of shops to eat and drink had to walk to the pier for food although it looked beautiful when the sun came out had tea and cake on the pier in the Victoriana tea room that was lovely but very expensive. Won't be going back to Eastbourne

Lovely views in all directions, lots of people enjoying sea . Junior brass band on one day, good to see youngsters taking part. Can recommend Victorian tea room - large tea pots and freshly made to order sandwiches

This pier is free to the public. It's a great walk with good views of Eastbourne prom. You can have a drink at the pier bar and visit all the stalls as usual. The chippy at the entrance is very good. In all its a classic Victorian pier in a great location. The owners are not really keeping it in top shape as dodgy seats and rusty railing are getting worse.

Excellent since the fire - removed that awful amusement arcade and made it nice and open and a pleasure to be on

A nice pier as piers go to go for a walk on, but there's not a lot else to do on this one, there's a very small arcade, sweet shop and gift shop.

Lots to do for young and old, all parties catered for. Good for fun,food and drinks, even party groups, fair ground attractions and side stalls

The pier is not the way it was before it was purchased by it's current owner. There is nothing on there that is really any fun any more.

Cannot wait for it to come back to life!! Miss playing on the arcades. Miss the history of the pier. Glad to see progress and not left to ruin life West Pier xx Still a few lil shops to look at. No idea what goes on at the end of the pier, seems wasted.

Ótimo lugar para ver o mar e ver apreciar a orla de Eastbourne com a arquitetura antiga de seus hotéis e restaurantes. Costuma ventar muito.

the pier is now a lot less cluttered far fewer outlets, more picnic tables. very nice indeed. Still has some outlets of interest and is a nice place to sit and take in the view
