It was a busy Friday night and the only issue we jad was the noise level. The food was good quality and value for money. The service was good too thanks to Matt and other staff.

We had such a lovely afternoon at the Bibendum in Eastbourne, on Mother’s Day. The service was warm and friendly, and nothing was a problem. The food was delicious!!!! The roast lamb was amazing and the children’s meals were really good, so fresh and great portions sizes. Not sure who manages/owns the Bibendum, but whoever they are they’re doing a great job. We’ll definitely be back again.

Staff started off friendly but handled a spilt drink really badly. Didn’t clean it up, just threw a tea towel on the floor and didn’t offer a refill or new napkins. Food was really good but gravy was so salty it was unbearable. Nice atmosphere though and wasn’t too long of a wait.

The staff were really excellent, friendly and helpful. The ambience was also great but regretfully the food was poor - bones in the fish cakes, and dry salmon - the soup however was superb.

Literally the best Sunday roast in Eastbourne. Staff are lovely, good service and food is great. Portions are big so we didn’t have a starter but I shared a pudding with my dad! Definitely recommend!

Great food and attentive service. Good menu choices too. Classic gastro pub choices, Good atmosphere without it being too noisy. Can recommend their burgers. The beef ones appear to be homemade rather than bought and the cajun chicken is very good too.

I booked a table for 8 people to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. The staff were very friendly, helpful and accommodating with bringing out the birthday cake I brought in for the occasion. The food was excellent and all of us enjoyed our meals. We ordered mains and desserts.

Great staff and service - lovely atmosphere but beef roast dinner was a bit disappointing. Roast potatoes were pale and soggy and the meat was piled on top of all the other items (veg) on the plate.

Service excellent. Nice food, disappointed that the choice of roast was nothing like the website menu being beef, chicken, turkey or duck. No lamb or pork which seemed strange. Would not have booked if I'd known. Restaurant area does lack a bit of atmosphere and has more of a resemblance of a canteen which is a shame.

Good selection of beer, bar service was fine - restaurant was completely empty, and when receiving out door we understood why. Lasagne was completely dried out, no doubt sat In a warm oven for 12 hours, virtually inedible, and my partners potato gratin was much the same. Was a shame because the restaurant had a nice cosy feel to it and the bar tenders were friendly and attentive.

Service was very good. God was tasty if not sophisticated. Generous meat portions but not enough veg and not enough variety. There also wasn’t a disabled toilet which I thought was poor for a venue if this size.

The menu has been updated and is now more reasonably priced with many typically pub meals at £12. They still have a small sample of more unusual dishes which they were originally known for. The food was very good indeed, all homemade.
