I’ve come here a few times, food is great - always nice for a pub lunch or even just a beer. Better atmosphere than most pubs in Eastbourne as it’s a little tucked away

The member of the team who greeted us and then served us was not up to the job - we picked the wrong table - which we were told after we sat down - but if you are not shown how do you know? Why tell us anyway - there was another table available !! No menus given until asked, when the cutlery was brought there were only two sets (there were three of us) When we asked for menus we were given three but only two were the dinner ones .... The white wine wasn't cold. However the food was tasty and plenty of it. With no soft furnishings it only takes one larger party talking loudly and your whole evening is spent trying to hear what your dinner guests are saying !!

The “greeter” was welcoming, friendly and attentive. He worked very hard and the staff provided speedy meals. Food was tasty with a good variety of vegetables. None of us could manage to eat the ENORMOUS Yorkshire Puddings as we had filled up on food on our plates. The roast potatoes were especially delicious.

Bibendum is a great favourite of mine. The best experience for a Sunday lunch The food is consistently delicious and well presented. The Yorkshire puddings are like large flying saucers on a very generously portion of food. Certainly my best experience in Eastbourne for Sunday lunch and I hve tried many but always come back to Bibendum.

Staff & service was excellent! We both had the roast beef but were a little disappointed. The Yorkshire, although huge, was burnt & the beef was extremely tough. The whole roast tasted a bit mass produced & not much flavour. ☹️

It was a quiet Monday, however it was my husband birthday and we ended up having to choose from Sunday roast menu with limited items. My chicken pie (massive corner crust which was over cooked) loaded with beef gravy instead of chicken was ok. Mmm I guess I was not really expecting a pub grub. I thought you were better than this. Mix feellings really.

We had a great time and all enjoyed our meals. There were 8 of us for a birthday dinner, there were no long waits and no issues that I remember! My only gripe was the paltry amount of custard given with my Apple Crumble.
