The Cricketers Arms - Eastbourne

We had already booked here and were very warmly welcomed and shown to our table. The Summer menu was varied and reasonably priced. I chose a Monterey Jack cheese burger, and my wife, Scampi and chips. Our food arrived hot and very promptly. My burger was really tasty and the house fries raised both dishes to another level- they were crunchy on the outside and fluffy inside- absolutely perfect! We both had vanilla and blackcurrant crème brûlée and I had a coffee to finish. Both of our meals were delicious and we send compliments to the chef and the management/staff for their service and attention. Thank you.

Excellent Harvey’s pub off the beaten track nice 5m walk (round trip) from Alfriston lovely gardens and very scenic part of the country

Quintessentially English country cottage meets original Ale house. Garden to match. For me this pub has everything. A village pub where drinkers meet and a lovely dining option too. It exists for both. Too many pubs are now simply restaurants but not here. Not over restored, the building is still old and creeky but has great character. The staff are friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to return

Lovely pub, good food, have been going for 20 years, but the welcome I got yesterday when I walked in with 2 friends was dreadful. The young woman at the bar made a point of not acknowledging me, in fact all 3 women who were there ignored me. Just a smile and ‘I’ll be with you in a minute’ or similar would have be great. Overall the atmosphere was below par due to sulky staff. Go and get a lesson in receiving clients with Sue at The Star Old Heathfield!

Fabulous trip to this wonderful pub, the setting is amazing with beautiful views and incredible garden front and rear the service was brilliant considering how busy it was. The food was delicious we could not fault the whole experience the waiter/waitresses are so friendly and work so hard…. Thank you
