Less ale choice than many other Wetherspoons (albeit on a par with the Cornfield Garage around the corner). Busy with a pre-club crowd on a Friday evening and mobbed with shoppers on a Sat lunchtime. Much of a muchness.

Fairly typical Wetherspoon - beer quality usually OK, but not a large choice. The usual type of Spoons customers, who act as if they've been drinking for hours, even in mid morning! Nothing to write home about - the best thing is it's handy for the station.

Rather shabby pub. Barman served me promptly. Food good value, chicken melt, chips & veg & pint of Ruddles for £8.89. Small portion of chips. Food served in 6 min 12 sec.

I can understand, everybody is entitled to their opinion, i however have nothing negative to say about this pub. It is pretty good for food during the day, its not top restaurant quality, but its a pub and they serve the sort of meals you would expect to eat in a pub! the staff could do with smiling a bit more!! i have been in there during the week and also at the weekends. The weekends are completely different to what its like during the week, they have a Dj on a Friday & Saturday, Music is pretty good, Dj is friendly and gets the atmosphere going, Maybe he could play a little bit of cheese as myself and my partner are partial to a bit of spandau ballet!!! Beers are cheap, even on the weekend, what more could you ask for.

Oh dear. My opinion of Wetherspoons decreases each time a visit a new one. Totally indifferent service and staff who can't cope. Very unwelcoming with dodgy customers and poor quality beer. Pass it by.

Awful people and hopeless staff. You wait ages for a drink and the bar staff don't have a clue. This was a Slug & Lettuce before and the staff were fantastic - friendly, keen and helpful. Eastbourne continues to progress further down the list, and this pub contributes to that. Does JDW not employ managers?
|
This place (despite the comments from a worker below) continues to offer a dreadful experience. I waited for 15 minutes to get served but gave up. The staff are on another planet. They are dis-interested and look bored. JDW should either sack the lot of them and get a new manager - or close the place down. It's possibly one of the worst JDW's I've visited. Even in the evening the staff look like they would rather be anywhere else. A bloody disgrace.

Well, popped in for a pint one weekday lunchtime while client visiting locally and found it to be perfectly OK - efficient service, reasonable prices - and normal looking customers too! Although I didn't eat the food looked fine and they have some tempting food deals too. All in all not as bad as previous comments would suggest. In view of the improvements noticed on my visit a few months ago to the other JDW pub nearby it looks like JDW have upped their game.

You're going to say that I'm biased because I work here but I'm not going to argue any particular facts. I am personally upset that so many of you have had bad experiences at the pub and would like you to give us the benefit of the doubt and pop in. Our plus points are that we're cask marque accredited, have at least four cask beers on in all but the most extreme circumstances and have scored 90 and 100% in our last two mystery shopper visits.

this JDW pub hasn't been open long but is the pits already . Rude barstaff and ruder management ... along with the usual suspects as customers . the other JDW is better for this one opening !
|
We already had one poor JDW in Eastbourne and now there's another. Understaffed, dodgy, spivvy crowd nd often takes ages to get served. Poor standard and poor pub.
|
Definitely not the best JDW in Eastbourne.

Made another visit over the Bank Holiday. At upstairs bar waited 15 minutes whilst the solo barmaid worked her socks off. Only to be told they were out of wine! Then asked for lager - that was not available. Then left. won't bother again.

This (Wetherspoons) looked promising when it opened. However it has quickly gone downhill which is a shame. Slow bar staff and now attracks 'customers' that have been banned from bars elsewhere. Hence it appeals to foul-mouthed locals who are drunk by lunchtime. Weekends attracts parents with kids in prams who struggle to get through the (badly installed) front doors. The beer is cheap but quality is poor.
