The Beach Deck in Eastbourne

This place has gone right downhill. Snotty eggs. Bacon like safety glass. Avocado more bitter than my ex. And I certainly dont appreciate having an IPad shoved in my face by the nonchalant fetus that was serving us demanding a tip. This isn't New York. Pay your staff properly. Wont be back.

Booked mother's day Sunday lunch and drinks ordered starter mussels and roast lamb really looking forward to my lunch to be told no roast left only veggie wellington I got a bit upset as I assumed if you booked you got a roast dinner. We got lots of apologies and the drinks were free but it spoilt my day

If you ever visited Eastbourne, I highly recommend this restaurant by the beach, from its ambiance and the sea view by the deck outside of the restaurant is really lovely. Also they have a friendly staff and most of all their fresh delicious amazing food is top notch 👍 Definitely I will go back , if I come back to Eastbourne again.

Had a great lunch on the seafront with great service and delicious food. Popular spot with dog walkers too.

Foods always great. Staff and service all appear to wish to be somewhere else. Not very friendly. Atmosphere noisy due to barking dogs sadly.

Dog friendly if sun's out expect wait for outside seating

Beautiful day with lots of sunshine. Great place for our breakfast this morning. Food was delicious and staff couldn't be more helpful.

Its a greatly placed bar/cafe/restaurant directly on the seafront, we ate there once in a quiz night and the food was good. Last time we went it was a lovely, early spring day in the sunshine on a weekend and they were clearly maxed out. Took a little while to get a table outside, but that's no reflection on the place or staff. There were a lot of tables outside that didn't have chairs, which would have been beneficial that day, but I imagine chairs are in storage and come out when there is more consistent sunny days. Views are gorgeous as you're right on the beach front, lovely place to stop for a coffee, drink, snack or lunch/dinner - highly recommend. One thing that would be good is if you could just go to the bar and order a drink if you're just there for that. Table service is insisted upon so can take a while for your drinks to arrive if they're busy. Very friendly staff though.

Lovely place to eat breakfast and relax, food is amazing and presented well.

Amazing. Best eggs ever! Food was incredible. Beautiful views and tremendous service. Thanks, will be back soon.

I’m a local who has been here lots of times over the years. It’s in such a great spot overlooking the sea. The menu is ok but has limited choices if you’re after a small lunch. I ordered a chicken ciabatta. It was ok. Came on a plate with a salad garnish. For £12 I would have expected something special. I basically paid £12 for a posh chicken roll. More fool me.

Popped in for lunch yesterday, arriving at about 11.30 so breakfast had finish but lunch didn't start until 12 so we had a coffee while waiting to order. We both had fish and chips which was excellent, definitely some of the best I've had. The staff were friendly and, despite it being really busy there was very little wait for the food or drinks. Recommended!

Lovely location easy parking great views. Food tasty good choices good value for money.

The food was amazing but sadly was massively let down by our server today, she was really rude and pulled faces to her colleague when we clearly stated no rocket she requested it off one dish but left it on the other one. She also didn’t give us our cutlery until we asked for it and slammed our water down on the table with such attitude. Such a shame as we rarely come here and wanted to come for a treat for my birthday and was massively let down today!!

Went here for a lovely breakfast as it was my grandmas birthday. The food was absolutely scrumptious - i had the veggie classic - and the waiters were great. It has such a nice feel to it, the decor was so nice and every bit of the restaurant felt well cared for. The restaurant is completely dog friendly as well. Not to mention the incredible view, it was a beautiful sunny morning breakfast we all enjoyed. Will be returning, thank you!

2 out of 4 breakfasts was stone cold, mentioned it to the server, SOD All was done ..not happy..... won't be going again... Spent good money, received crap food and service

Had a superb Sunday lunch at the beach deck

Lovely setting, delicious food and great service

We stopped here for bite to eat today, Sunday, I decided on roast pork belly, with all the trimmings, although it never turned up with roast potatoes, it was soon rectified and a bowl of delicious crispy roast potatoes turned up. Delicious is all I can say. My wife had salmon beach deck bowl, which she also said was delicious. Will definitely return, can't fault any of the staff, we recommend a visit.

Really good food here and staff are lovely and friendly dogs are welcome as well and the atmosphere is very nice and clean

One of our favourite places for breakfast when we come to Eastbourne, always a friendly welcome, delicious breakfast choices I’ve tried a few and all very tasty. It’s lovely we can bring our doggie too and with a seaview just perfect.

A bit expensive for the amount you get. But food was nice

Lovely place and friendly staff. We’ve eaten moules frites all over the world and this was the best

Excellent fish and chips, in the sun, on a chilly January day.

Had to send muscles back as we're cold but got a fresh portion and discount . Staff very helpful. Chicken and ham hock pie partner loved and daughter loved soup

A great spot with plenty of parking, good service and tasty food. Quite a few dogs were welcome on one side of the restaurant. Prices reasonable. Couldn't complain about anything.

Just came for Christmas dinner. Atmosphere was convivial and the staff were very attentive and happy and the food was plentiful and fantastic presentation and flavour

What a fab place! Been twice from out of town and the food has been great both times. Lovely staff and a beautiful view!

Best beach restaurant in Eastbourne. Fabulous view (and food)

UPDATE. I visited here again today with friends. I just had a hot chocolate, but it was nice, the staff are lovely. The atmosphere was very Chrismassy. First time here, excellent service from the start. No bookings, first come first serve. We were seated within less than five minutes by a friendly female member of staff. We sat outside with a lovely sea view to admire. Our food was brought very swiftly by another friendly lady. My order had been taken by a friendly young man, all of this done with extreme ease and efficiency. My son and I chose the panini with house chips (super chunky!) and mozzarella chips, everything was delicious. We then had pudding, which I rarely have, but couldn't resist the Kelly's ice cream and brandy snap basket. My son had the brownie and ice cream. I was delighted to learn that today was also 'eat out to help out', as it was BH I didn't expect it to be. All in all, a great place to eat, lovely staff, fast service, tasty food and a great view.

Love coming here for brunch, we came on Sunday with our doggie, it wasn’t too busy. I chose the Chorizo Hash was absolutely delicious with fresh poached eggs and spicy chorizo. Always friendly service too and with a view of the sea.

The food is terrible. I've tried this place out on 3 occasions now and each time has been below standard. 4 pancakes Shop bought) , small jug maple syrup, 1/4 banana thinly sliced, approx 10 blueberries. £10.50! It was rubbish. Will not be trying again.

Our go to dog friendly food stop when travelling from Surrey to see family, and yesterday I tried their new Fantastic Fish Pie and I have to say, it was absolutely fantastic! Full of tasty fish, a rich creamy cheese sauce, topped with very buttery mash and a crispy top! Really tasted homemade and full of flavour. I am a big fan of their fish and chips but the fish pie I will definitely be ordering again when I go soon. A far better pie than a very well known restaurant offers at double the price! Highly recommend.

Highly recommend this place everything nice you should go there.

Our favourite place for lunch in Eastbourne. We're regular visitors and have always had exceptional service, amazing food and good coffee. Dog friendly, with sausages for the pooches available on request.

Love this place. It's like being on holiday sitting outside with the sea rolling in front of you. Great food, great service, great staff. It holds a place in my heart. X

We popped to Eastbourne as it was a chilly but sunny day and stopped here for a Coffee. I had a lovely Gingerbread Latte and a slice of Gluten Free Carrot Cake which was delicious. Staff lovely, very clean and generally a very nice place to have a coffee.

Good service, the food was tasty and well portioned. Menu had a good choice for all dietary requirements.

I love coming back here every time I'm in Eastbourne. Delicious food and proximity to the beach make this place unique.

A lovely spot for a breakfast or a bite to eat while enjoying the scenery. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and reasonably priced and the atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable. Will certainly visit again when I'm back to visit family.

Amazing food, views and service. I had smashed avocado on sour dough with poached egg. Hubby had full English. Would recommend.

This was our second visit. Great location near to sea, (and car park if needed) and both times we have sat out on the deck overlooking the sea. The atmosphere is relaxed. The food is nice, some traditional and modern dishes. However, the service definitely needs improvement. There were around 5/6 waiters but they are badly managed so therefore there is never one when you need one. They have a queue for a table system, but we watched at least 5 groups of people walk back away because no one was monitoring it. There were some empty tables that needed clearing that could have moved the queue along quicker. We asked for ketchup but never received it and my drink was wrong but no waiter around to ask for it to be changed…. The drinks had already arrived after the food too! Even paying was hard as the girl inside was very busy and no one else around. Eventually we did pay but It would have been easy to walk off without paying, I wonder how many do?!!

Waited half an hour to get a table, then told breakfast had finished, then told once seated that they were only doing drinks and had to wait for food as they were busy and had not started lunch….. poor service!

It's a great location in Eastbourne when it's warm and sunny if you want a view of the sea, sitting outside above path level. The service was good and staff very friendly. The cod and chips we had were quite a plateful, I found it hard to finish. It was a change to have everything (bar the peas) on a plate together instead of chips in a basket/tin/mug/hat/whatever.

The Beach Deck does incredible food for Breakfast, lunch and dinner. The staff are always friendly and chatty. The prices are good value for the food you get and wonderful views out to the sea. Perfect place for any occasion.

The menu looked good and the server was friendly and efficient. We order the full English, I asked if I could swop the mushrooms for bacon- but the server explained this was not the policy otherwise everyone would do it! She offered to keep the mushrooms off my plate and said I could ‘buy’ extra bacon. I declined. The breakfast looked appealing when it arrived though I did have to use my napkin to soak up some of the grease on the plate. The meal was ‘ok’, it was expensive for just an ‘ok’. The ladies toilet didn’t have soap or the dispenser didn’t work- I’m not sure which, but in this day and age it should work! My husband said the male toilet soap dispenser did work. The Wi-Fi doesn’t work either. All told, it was just ‘ok’

This was our first time visiting, we met friends there. It was a nice clean restaurant, we had breakfast and it was reasonably priced. The staff we encountered were all very friendly. It had a nice atmosphere.

Great views and great location. The menu is varied and everyone will find something that tickles their taste buds. I had the delicious vegan Cauliflower bowl which came with edamame, rice, carrots etc. It was filling and tasty. For dessert I had vegan warm chocolate brownie with vegan ice cream which was divine. There is loads of seating outside facing the sea and inside. Great place to accommodate all, including big parties and big groups. Great decor, staff are friendly and efficient. I would definitely go back!

No idea what the problem is with the staff here, came in yesterday and wasn’t aware they closed at 5 at first. Ordered a pint of Cruzcampo and another 10 minutes before closing. I’ve had a cold and a really bad cough but still tried to drink the second pint quickly as I felt bad for keeping them open.. stayed until 5:15 (15 minutes after they closed) and left half my pint as I felt bad I couldn’t drink it as quick as I wanted because I still had a bit of a sore throat. Came in today and ordered a pint alone this time, and I don’t know whether they think I’m deaf or plain stupid but I can hear them while I’m sitting outside outright taking the piss and telling staff who weren’t working what happened yesterday. I could’ve stayed an extra 15 minutes and finished my drink but I felt bad so to hear them today taking the mickey saying things like “awww mummy I can’t finish my drink I have a sore throat” is a bit of a kick in the teeth. I’ll put the unprofessionalism down to the fact the girls working here are young and naive. I’m not going to walk off without paying for this pint or make a scene, but I won’t be coming back. Do better.

Great location and very decent food. Seating inside & out, so good whatever the weather. Not great value for money though. Three of us ate and it came to just over £54, which I think is a little rich for what it is.

Had a family meal, food was nice but a little expensive for fish and chips, service was good

Absolutely gutted, visiting friends in Eastbourne and booked via email. Tried calling as no reply via email to confirm booking. Called and was told no one checked the emails also they were going to be closing early. Very unprofessional :(

Just a great place to go with views across the sea and good food .

What a fantastic venue food and staff were amazing couldn't find fault with any part of my experience

Great setting, lovely clean place, food was lovely even though we were a big party and booked late, food was fantastic and great value for money and our waitress was great!! Highly recommend this gem !!

Always a good place to get the best of Eastbourne seafront. Food, Staff and Ambience worth visiting for all year round.

Wonderful food, wonderful staff, incredible location!

Busy, popular place even on a Sunday morning. Do not order croissant or pain au chocolat- very disappointing. Other breakfasts looked lovely.

Cheap and cheerful 😉 caters for everyone.

Can't fault the food, the service or the view. It's like being on holiday.

Always good value excellent service, clean,well organised

A post walk breakfast - amazing food, good service and lovely views

Lovely food, great place to sit and watch the world go by.

One of the best and cosy quiet small fishing village n serve the best fish n chips

Lovely coffee cake, latte, fish n chips. Recommend.

Bad points.Walked in was told bye three different people,will be with you in a minute.Ten minutes later ,was shown to a table although there was five empty tables that I could see.15 minutes later, and due to frustration, I had to wave my hands in the air to get the attention of a waiter.If you want a peaceful meal and a quiet chat this is not the place as it was really noisy,and hard to hear what each other was saying.Good points.The view was really nice looking over the ocean and the meal was adequate.So three stars about right.

What a wonderful experience, the service and attention to detail about special diets was wonderful Perfect place to take the kids big small and the (mischievous) grandparents

We ordered some starters with drinks. The view of the sea is lovely at this place and the staff are friendly. I think visiting this place st least once is good. Given the atmosphere, it creates memories. I would recommend this place.

We took a chance and popped in here for a bite to eat after a swim at the Sovereign Center. Lovely evening, stunning view and the food was great. Moderately priced as well for a family of 4. Highly recommended!!! Photos of half eaten food!!! 😲

Great food, location and service

Had a delicious brunch with great service. Extra points for being dog friendly too ☺️

Good welcome, fast service. I recommend the mussels :)

Great coffee and hot chocolate with a lovely view and friendly polite staff 😊

Great views, good food, attentive service. What's not to like? Would recommend a visit especially to sit outside on a sunny day.

A familiy group of nine of us had supper here. It's a clean modern restaurant and the food was excellent. The fish and chips looks a bit minimal, but was first class and the other meals were also. Will definitely go again.

Staying at a local hotel and decided to give the included breakfast a miss and head out... So glad we did, the breakfast here was top notch! Fantastic quality food and service - fantastic location.

staff a bit rude. my partner is not english and can come across a little aggresive thats the way europeans are. we ordered cream on top of her ice coffee and paid for it. when it arrived it did not have cream and my partner asked to have cream as she had the same a couple a weeks ago here, she may of came across a little offish when asking for the cream we paid for. im english and was listening to the staff who said to her you should of asked for cream when you ordered as we did ??? and spkoe to my partner the way you should not be to a customer we had no issue it seemed the staff wanted to make it an issue. its a little cream we paid for why the rudness it was embarrasing. live local wont be returning.

Great food and service.. food came quick which is great when you have kids.. service was very friendly

Really nice lunch time fish’n’chips, calamari and burgers. Good menu choices, locally sourced and freshly cooked. Service was great. Great views of the beach and seaside. Long Man beers as well. Highly recommend. We were a walk in group of 5, not the busiest Saturday I’m sure, but we were quickly seated, service was good

Beautiful views from the deck, nice food, reasonably priced. Lovley sights on the beach. 👍

always enjoy coming here, food is always a 10/10, cant fault it, staff always friendly regardless of how busy they are , they are always helpfull . wil be back for sure

We will be back! Beautiful view, lovely atmosphere and helpful staff! There was a perfect amount of time to quickly jump in the sea between ordering and getting back perfectly in time for the meal arriving.

Great place to visit and have food. Very busy but still had great food. Very noisy if you wear a hearing aid.

The staff here are really friendly. The food was good and I sat outside as it was a lovely sunny day. I have been here before a few back and enjoyed it then too.

Lovely venue with a reasonable choice of food. I’m good weather the deck offers a beautiful view but you may have to fight the Seagulls for your food. Would definitely recommend

Fish was delicious, other food was fine. But the service was incredibly slow. It took 30 minutes from requesting the bill to receiving it and it wasn't even busy. Location is lovely though so still had a nice time

Very tasty food, good service and lovely views of the sea.

Can't fault this place. Friendly and efficient staff, delicious food and lovely atmosphere. I've been here about three times now in quick succession. Great spot right on the seafront too.

We came here for coffee, nice staff and delicious cake/coffee.

Great food very relaxing environment with great views. A must stop .

Different experiences every time, rainy nice n quiet very busy not able to get a table inside or out

Went for breakfast which was tasty and reasonably priced. The sun was out so it was busy but we were able to sit outside on large decked area looking out over the beach. Service was friendly and efficient.

It’s a nice, clean restaurant with a lovely view of the Eastbourne beach, would recommend going swimming early in the morning and going here for a eggs Benedict!

Met up with family for breakfast and it was very good and service was very good. Definitely will go back

Great food and service. Best Fish and Chips I've had in a very long time!

Delicious food,able to cater for gluten free. Waitress was friendly and chatty. Reasonably priced. Busy place with a great atmosphere. Would definitely go back. . Every staff member I encountered was really lovely from getting seated to ordering food nothing is too much trouble for them. my waitress happily checked with the kitchen what food could be made gluten free. I’m really impressed with the service I received and I even left a tip ☺️

Great view, good food and service with a smile. What more do you need?

Bit expensive but really enjoyed it.

My favourite for years and years now is the “chorizo hash” accompanied with an orange juice and Americano and in the summer iced black coffee. The sea view is relaxing to see any time of the year inside or out.

I can not speak highly enough of Emily and our meal tonight. The food was excellent and the staff were all so nice. We will definitely re visit.
