Better than expected

Great vegan menu, I had the chickless wrap with chips and salad garnish, my friend had the falafel plate. Presented beautifully - vastly better than The Good Grub which just throws it in the plate - and far better than either of us expected. Quite expensive for what it is, but will definitely return

Pros: Great food, Beautifully presented

Cons: Bit on the high side price wise

Separate vegan menu

Seems like your normal pub but the sign outside says they cater for vegetarians, vegans and people with gluten intolerance. And yes they have a full separate vegan menu. So several choices available.
I got the Falafel which was quite good. They have good outdoor seating as well.

Pros: Vegan menu, Friendly staff, good outdoor seating

Great lunch, dog friendly

The Crown and Anchor have a separate vegan menu with a good variety, including kids options. All of the staff were friendly and made us and our dog welcome. They have a typical pub drinks selection as well as a variety of zero- and low alcohol beers. The vegan chilli, and the falafel were both very nice.

Pros: Good vegan selection, Dog friendly

Don’t hesitate, just go!

We were looking for a place to eat after hiking Seven Sisters from Seaford. This place was the perfect experience. Lots of delicious vegan options. I especially loved the jacket potato with slaw. It’s a full meal coming with a side salad and a bit of couscous. Great service, too.

Pros: Outside seating , Friendly staff, Great food

Surprisingly brilliant!

We were a bit hesitant because there’s a Greene King sign on the building, and their food has been a bit hit and miss… however, what a find! Friendly, helpful staff, extensive food menu (I had the nut roast with loads of veg, mash and gravy) and all the wine is vegan. Hurrah. Dog friendly too. The building is owned by Greene King but it’s an independent pub.

Pros: Dog friendly , Vegan wine

Looks like a Greene King decor and font but I don't think it is any more, no signs anywhere now

Highly recommend!

I wasn’t expecting much from a brief google of dog friendly pubs on a quick stop by Eastbourne - but we found a friendly, down to earth pub with super friendly staff and good junk food! Vegan menu is really good in my opinion, generous portions and fairly priced. Really good pub grub.

Pros: Vegan menu which is diverse, Very friendly staff - fed our dog treats , Lovely vibe

Vegan options in pub

This is a pub that serves pub food: sausages, burgers, and simple Curries etc. They have a standard menu which is very animal based and then a separate page with loads of vegan options. I recommend that they add some vegan options to the regular menu so that non vegans are encouraged to try.
Interesting detail: all wines are vegan!

We were not much impressed by the food: quite heavy with lots of gravy, over cooked veggies, but I guess it suits the pub!

Vegan pub food 👍🏼

This place has its own vegan menu and great choices for starters, main and dessert. Had Nachos and had to double check it was the vegan version as the cheese was melted and looked too good to be true - it was in fact true!!

Pros: Great options

Sunday roast

An extensive vegan menu and a vegan option for the Sunday roast which is what I opted for. The nut roast was tasty, the roast potatoes crispy and the veg well cooked. Impressed.
Staff were helpful and welcoming. It was a busy bank holiday so we asked how long it was likey to be for food (as we had a train to catch), it was a bit of a wait but their estimate was pretty accurate.
Great location close to the beach/pier.
Will be back when I'm next in Eastbourne.

Pros: Extensive vegan menu, Freshly prepared food, Welcoming

Cons: Not all veg*an, A wait for food (but it was a bank holiday)
