The Beachy Head

We went to The Beachy Head for some drinks after visiting the cliffs. Absolutely charming little pub. There was a beautiful terraced garden area where we sat outside and had drinks. They had a good selection of beer, ciders and wine behind the bar. On this particular occasion we did not eat, but I did have a peek at a few of the dishes coming out and it looked fantastic. The biggest piece of fish with the fish and chips that I had ever seen, I mean just massive. Next time I will definitely be having that! For a nice meal at the top of the cliffs or just to have a drink outside in the garden area, I would be there with bells on.

After a long hike around the cliffs, my group stopped by The Beachy Head for lunch. You order at the front and grab a table. I got the Sunday’s special which consisted of turkey, potatoes, bread, bacon, and veggies. It was around £7−8 for a meal and it was very filling! I really like their gravy on the turkey. The bread was really good, too!
I had a really nice view of the outside and the location is really in the middle of nowhere so you don’t have many options of places to eat after your hike. The scenery around this place is breathtaking!

Fantastic View. Beautiful Landscape. Wonderful Lighthouse. But to many Visitors.

The Beachy Head is a mahoosive pub situated on the infamous beauty/​suicide spot of the same name in East Sussex. It has to be large to cater for the bus load of tourists that visit this spot on a daily basis. However, don’t let this put you off visiting this stunning area — if you are prepared to walk a little way in either direction you will find some peace and tranquility and the views are absolutely stunning.
Anyway, back to the pub. As I have already mentioned, it’s pretty big, with loads of indoor seating, plus outside tables both at the front and back. There was some confusion over where you sit and eat. Apparently, the bottom two tiers of the back garden are drinks only. We moved to a table further up and were then told we couldn’t eat there either. However, when we explained that we had moved there on instruction from another member of staff we were allowed to stay!
We were in the middle of a 30 km training walk for our forthcoming «three peaks challenge» so didn’t want a big meal, consequently we plumped for two sharing platters between five of us. These included brie and red onion brûlée, chicken goujons, crispy mushrooms, lamb kofti, garlic mayo and bread. The food was average but did the job, and certainly helped soak up the two bottles of prosecco! Not entirely sure that this was a good idea, but it did help to take the pain away in our aching legs!
I wouldn’t come to this pub specifically to eat, but it’s a great refreshment spot if you are walking across the beautiful seven sisters.

Food was awful tasted bland and was cold and this was on a evening when the pub was not even very full and we were expecting much more from such a nice looking pub probably will never go back unless its just for a pint after a long walk above the cliffs

A perfect spot both night time & datytime, pick your preference.
Great place to watch the sunset! If you want a romantic, tranquil spot to while away the evening with friends or someone special then this is the spot. Just come prepared to wait awhile for beverage and food service. The salmon grill was worth the wait, along with the gooseberry crumble & a glass of port to finish off the evening.
Also a great place to have lunch and beers after hiking along the cliff side. Stunning views from the outdoor seating area.
Enjoy!

Overpriced for a pub in a village. We waited for our food for 2 hours. When we asked why, the waitress got extremely offended and angry and said she was waiting for us to finish our starters. Well done. I am sorry to ask.

Under-​staffed and long queues for both bar and food. A bad example of a tourist spot that does little to enhance the town it serves.

Sehr ordentlicher Pub mit Essen in toller Lage. auf jeden Fall einen Spaziergang oder Ausflug wert.

Situated halfway along the Seven Sisters cliffs, The Beachy Head offers walkers a perfect place to stop and relax or refuel before attempting the second part of their journey.
A vast country pub with roaring fires and big wooden tables, it’s a surprisingly cosy place with friendly staff, an ample choice of fine ales and spirits and hearty plates of food. On Sundays, they have a selection of roasts and in the week they offer generous plates of fish and chips, steak, chicken pie, lasagne, burgers and beef and guiness pie. I usually go for a salad or If I’m needing to refuel, scampi and chips. In the summer, the place can be rammed with families and couples so be prepared to wait upto 45 minutes for food. If you manage to get a table outside with breath-​taking however, the time should fly.

This isn’t the greatest and most authentic country pubs in the world but after a bracing days walk in the january chill, stepping into here and parking your ice cold bottom, resolutely next to the open fire is one of the best things ever!
The actual inside is spacious, with a huge v shaped bar, ready for some serious influx, but I can’t really imagine it to be honest, and when I was there there was only about 3 people.
I eat the beer battered fish and chips, which for only £7 was, I thought, a proper bargain, and although I don’t imagine that the fish was caught that day from around the area, it was big, filling and pretty tasty really.
Definitely would come again, but only because I was in the area.

Beachy Head is a charming pub-​restaurant. The view is spectacular and it’s laid out well so you have privacy and you can hear what the person opposite to you is saying. Staff are very friendly and hard working but during busy periods sometimes have their hands too full to deliver efficient service.
I didn’t give Beachy Head the final two stars because I and other people have had the same problem there which is that they seem to fequently run out of food! The last time I went there they had even run out of chips, a pub-​must! Our choice was really limited and a vast range of side dishes became a choice between new potatoes or mash. Very disappointing.

NOT impressed! I went here last week with a friend for a casual bit to eat and catch up with said friend. We tried to order two main meals, one of which was unavailable as it wasn’t a Sunday! Being a vegetarian, my choice was somewhat limited, especially after my first attempt at ordering was unsuccessful — i ended up with a plate of mash and veg, whilst my friend had chicken.
Both meals looked decidedly shrivelled and had clearly been sat on a hot plate or somewhere similar for hours — not appetising in the least and the taste was as expected — non existant. When i got home i was actually vomiting for half the night — never again!
My only praise is for the delicious mocha coffee they sell which is very addictive, though rather pricey.

It is worth the drive to this pub. The food is great since they have changed the menu. We often go here for Sunday lunch with out 1 year old. It is child friendly but I would say don’t buy a seperate childs meal for a toddler as it is way too big, we just share our dinner. Prices aren’t bad, service can be slow when they are busy. They offer a great range of food-​all delicious and there are lovely views of beachy head if you sit by the window!

Have been here a few times, have had some average meals, but seem to have improved somewhat since the recent overhaul. Averagely priced, typical chain restaurant food which is perfectly edible. Good parking, suitable for children. Cosy atmosphere inside.

Beachy Head, der Selbstmörderfelsen.
Nach der Golden Gate Bridge zweitliebstes Ausflugsziel von Suizidgefährdeten.
Viele haben es geschafft, meines Wissen hat es nur einer überlebt.
Abgesehen von dieser traurigen Bilanz ist Beachy Head, Beachy Head Restaurant (wo mein Ex als Koch gearbeitet hat — my ex boyfriend used to work as a chef here — yonks ago) und Beachy Head Lighthouse wirklich einen Abstecher wert.
Ein Muss für Englandreisende, genauso wie Lands End (my friend went to Land’s End and all he brought me back was this old mug — Aufschrift auf der typischen Touri-​Tasse), aber ich schweife ab.
Beachy Head, Eastbourne allgemein — hinfahren!

Die Steilküste Beachy Head liegt etwas außerhalb von Eastborne. Man hat hier einen tollen Blick aufs Meer und die Stadt. Der Wind peitscht einen um die Ohren und man spührt die Naturgewalten.

After the long walk up from Eastbourne pier to be impressed by the cliffs, this was a very welcome spot for an authentic pub lunch.
For a place of this size it still manages to retain the warm ambience of a typical English pub with rustic wooden beams separating the seating areas, a couple decent real ales on tap and a good selection of traditional pub fare.
We all went for the fish and chips, which was served in whopping great portions. Very tasty with good crispy batter (this is the most important thing with fish and chips!). One touch I liked was the waiter offering us a vast tray of different sauces, of which the excellent tartar sauce was the perfect accompaniment to the fish. Much better than those annoying little sachets!
The service was impressively quick considering we were a large group, the staff were helpful and friendly and the price reasonable (£6.95 for a big portion) considering the prime location for attracting tourists.

A decidedly average chain pub but it’s the only one up here so you’ll have to make do :)
