Having been here many times they've gone with the "shrinkflation" flow 🤭ie. Up until 3 weeks ago their steak was a 10 or 12oz sirloin now only 8oz, but of course same price £31 so if you are happy with that then great. Otherwise nice place.

Beautiful, lively, independent pub with great food and atmosphere! I booked my birthday dinner here after a walk across the Seven Sisters cliffs, and the staff ensured everything was perfect.

The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was exceptional—every member of the team was incredibly helpful and attentive. On top of that, the pub itself is beautiful, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend for any occasion!

Today we visited the charming Pilot Inn, which we have been to previously, a few weeks ago. On that occasion it was pleasant and great service, and lovely food, in fact we liked it so much that we decided to come again. Today however, we had a totally different experience, we were over charged for swapping sourdough for a wrap, an extra £3, but we accepted it and carried on. We decided to have pudding today, service was slow but it was busy so we understood. When it came to paying the bill, we were accidently overcharged,  we understand that mistakes can happen especially when you're busy. We wanted to double check the refund has gone through before paying again as understandably we did not want to pay twice, the waitress Chloe said she would call the manager over. We understand this as she wanted to make sure everything was correct, The manager, Emma, came over to our table with what you would say 'an attitude because we had an issue with the refund. We settled the bill and said we would sort it between us once the refund had gone back into the accounts. Because of this incident we had rudeness from the staff, they were complaining about us and the lady on the door, when we left had the worst attitude, yet we had not had any dealings with her throughout this trip. She was the worst one of all by saying "Bye" in a sarcastic manner, and made me make the decision to do this complaint. This was completely disgusting to be treated like this, as anyone in our situation would have wanted to make sure the refund had gone through and not have to pay twice. The staff clearly need customer service training. If one person makes a complaint and you deal with it, it is settled, but if it is not dealt with, in order words, made worse by the attitude from the others in the team, that person will then tell others and those others will spread the word too. If it was my company, I would immediately ensure those staff on duty today receive adequate customer service training before you lose more customers. I would like to empathise, that Chloe made an innocent mistake and we do not blame her in any way, what we were appalled with is the disgusting attitude from others in the team including the 'manager' Emma.

WOW What can I say as a family we went yesterday the 21st December. Everything was just fabulous, we were a table of 9 and all the plates were cleared. Seven of us had something different from the menu and everything came hot and looking just so mouth watering and scrumptious. All the meals were large and certainly value for money. The staff were polite/efficient, well groomed etc. Excellent choice on the menu. This is a restaurant that we will be top of our list for future family gatherings.

We are loyal fans of the Pilot over many years. Just recently, it seems toi have lost its leading edge. Dinner for 8 and the meat was dry. Extra gravy didn't solve the problem. Sunday lunch for 7: fish and chips, game pie were fine but once again meat was tough. Staff replaced the meals but the second round was no better and had to be left. The staff and service were to the usual standards but not all of the meals. Have heard other clients with similar issues.

Come here every year with a friend for ‘our’ Christmas lunch. Warmly welcomed as soon as we stepped in the door, and brilliantly looked after by Chloe. The food here is really superb - and that’s why you need to book in advance - and that’s why The Pilot is always packed. I started off with deep fried Brie, was beautifully cooked with a lovely dip - then a huge Christmas lunch, which was a very big portion - and everything was cooked perfectly. Then panne cotta, which had red berries, nuts and crumbled biscuits, quite unusual but everything worked well and complemented each other. It was faultless and that’s why locals come back time after time.

I’ve known this pub for decades using it occasionally for a pint. Decided to try it again after a break for a meal with friends, I’ve got to say its the best its ever been, not a gastropub but great meals and its kept its pubby feel in the main bar whilst developing into a restaurant. Loads of investment shows, the back extension feels like you are walking into a country pub, well done you planners and designers, how do you do that? Chloe our server was lovely and I can recommend the steak and guinness pie, with good old fashioned chunks of carrot and potatoes. Beware the pie is filling! The pub is 1 minute from stunning views , its a real asset to our town wish I lived closer and I’d make it our local

I loved the Pilot Inn and main one being the staff. The manager at the front desk was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. I had stopped by the Pilot Inn after a beautiful walk from the Seven Sisters visitor centre, and my battery was dead, so they offered to charge my phone for me. I didn’t fancy the walk back, so I had a staff member come and talk me through the bus service back to Seven Sisters. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. They are an assets to this beautiful pub/restaurant/hotel. The venue itself was really nice decor, spacious, nice vibe. And the food was delicious and came out quickly. I fully recommend to everyone.

Fabulous setting. Fabulous pub. Lovely staff. Good choice of Gin! 5 stars for the above. We went for the food. Such good reviews but very disappointed. The chips tasted of old chip oil. Couldn't eat them. Burger was OK. Pasta was box standard cheap dried off the shelf and almost no pesto on it and that was clearly out of a jar? It's not hard to make so why not do it especiallyat the pices you are charging? Would revisit but wouldn't eat unless I was desperate sorry. Not a good look to see kitchen staff out the front smoking every 5 mins.

Great Pub, Great Staff. However, the Landlord has absolutely no interest in anyone having a good time. In fact, he considers this a nuisance as he believes this gets in the way of the smooth running of his precious restaurant (which is OK, bus nothing special). Regulars and locals seem to be unwelcome, too. Many of whom have started drinking at The Ship up the road. Partly because it's much cheaper, but mostly because of the miserable atmosphere he creates.

WOW!! What a find while out on a long Summer stroll around Eastbourne. The place from the outside bathed in sunshine with all the flowers looked So Inviting that we were unable to pass by. The place itself inside was just incredible everywhere i turned there was something else to see. A lovely garden too. We sat down with a perfect Ice Cold Aspall's Cider each. We'd skipped breakfast & were looking for somewhere to eat. The second the wife said Look! There's Ham Egg & Chips on the menu, the food was being ordered!! The wife had a really Top Notch Prawn Cocktail. The owner was a lovely woman & the Blonde lady behind the bar couldn't do enough for us. We were so impressed with the place, the staff, the food & the drinks that we were soon enquiring about staying for our Wedding Anniversary in December. We'll 100% be going back.

My review is just of the pub itself not the rooms/accommodation. Recently made my first visit here and can only say categorically 1st class. The food is excellent, the staff very friendly and helpful, other local customers also contribute to a very friendly and relaxed vibe. Pricey, but that's a big plus from my point of view as there was not a single yobbo wannabe anywhere to be seen, just all decent polite friendly people unlike many town centre pubs these days, throughout the UK. The pub is literally just a few hundred yards from the Sth Downs, so is the perfect place to go after a good 2 hour walk up the hills etc.

It was actually a proper pie, none of this in a dish with the pastry missing at the bottom. Served with a choice of potatoes, I had the new potatoes. Also came with a nice selection of veg. My husband had the lemon sole, he said that was really good. The rest of our party had sea bass, a burger and lasagna and there were no complaints from anyone. Good quality, good value, great service. We would definitely come here again. Highly recommend.

I was told that was not possible!!! When we arrived we were told it was ok. When we finally checked in at 8pm, no polite “Good evening” or “ how are you” - all a little curt. Some of the staff need some hospitality training. Room was small but modern. Price of £145 for one night was steep as breakfast was extra.

This is probably one of the top five pubs I have ever visited. And I speak as a publican of some 18 years. Super friendly staff, who are always happy to help. Great drinks, superb decor and although I didn't eat on this occasion, both my brother and I are determined to return to sample their Sunday lunch. UPDATE: Well, we did return for lunch but on a Saturday afternoon. My brother, his wife and I booked a table for lunchtime today. My sister in law had a chicken meal with chips, my brother had cod and chips with peas and I had steak and Guinness pie, with mash, red cabbage, carrots and green beans. We all agreed that the quality and quantity were outstanding, my pie was astonishingly tasty and in all honesty it was almost too much...but I soldiered on and managed to finish everything. Meals averaged out at £17.50. Drinks were extra as was coffee. My brother paid for everything and told our waitress that had she not added 10% to the bill, she would have received 15% from him. Astonishing quality fare and I highly recommend booking...but best reserve a table...this place is VERY popular and well supported. A massive recommendation.

Odd experience. We popped in on Saturday morning, doors open, 3 men enjoying drinks at the bar, and a young lady eating at the bar. After waiting for about 5 minutes the young woman explained they weren't open, despite being open to some. She gave some odd excuse about doing the books but we were off by then. Never again, if you want books to do in future I'd try a little harder with the customers that make that this possible.

First time visiting the Pilot today despite living nearby for a few months. We should’ve visited sooner! A 10/10 visit. Staff were very friendly, food and drink were good and, best of all, there’s a lovely resident pub dog called Bentley who was an absolute delight and loved having his belly tickled. 🥰 Will definitely be back!

Absolutely fantastic experience in the pub (did not stay in the hotel). Delicious food and cocktails. Really nice and quirky interior. Amazing staff - friendly, helpful, knowledgable, always there when you need them.

Sehr freundliche engagierte Angestellte, gutes Angebot. Das Cafe hat sich spezialisiert an Autismus erkrankte Menschen und Menschen mit Lernstörungen zu bewirten. Das Ambiente ist sehr schlicht, Cooked Full English Breakfast gibt es nicht (Geruch), dies alles und noch mehr dient dazu, die Reizschwelle möglichst tief zu halten. Für uns Europäer gibt es aber ein schönes Continental Breakfast mit Toast, warmem Croissant, Butter, Konfitüre, Honig und Früchten, günstig. Wer will kann auch Rührei bekommen. Ich habe mich sehr wohl und gut aufgehoben gefühlt im jigsaws. Die 'little chats' mit Einheimischen schätze ich als Alleinreisende sehr. Früh morgens war ich einziger Gast, ich habe die Zeitung vor Ort in aller Ruhe lesen können. Verbesserungsvorschlag: Öffnungszeiten, früher öffnen, z.B. 8.30 Uhr. Gerne wieder!
