Sunday Lunch

OUR

LOCATION

Meads is a pretty village on the western edge of Eastbourne, nestled at the foot of the South Downs above the beautiful Holywell beach, offering a variety of shops, cafes and restaurants in a relaxed and friendly setting. Eastbourne town centre, with its wealth of theatres, art galleries, shops, international tennis, airshow and famous pier, is a mere five-minute drive away, meaning you will never be short of things to see and do.

Our Location

MENU

Here at The Pilot Inn we pride ourselves on locally sourced fresh ingredients. Our meat is supplied by J.Heath & Son family butchers and includes locally reared beef from Bullock Down Farm, Beachy Head. Our seafood is supplied fresh from Beachy Head Fishing Company; both are within a few minutes of our location.

TESTIMONIALS

I was craving a decent pint and got it. The beer and food were excellent. Great service from friendly staff. It was good to see a menu offering local produce with lots of gluten free options. Would not hesitate to recommend this pub. 5 stars!"

Mr. S

“Probably the best quality food I’ve had in a pub for a long time. Plus it’s not the usual pub menu either. I had beautifully grilled and presented salmon, and my wife had Dover sole. We will certainly be back when we’re in the area again.”

Tim

First time going here and can only say I wish I had found this place before. Excellent food, lovely staff, nice atmosphere and great service. Highly recommended and will definitely return.

Josie

“Stayed for 1 night. Accommodation very comfortable. Had roast dinner in the restaurant- excellent and a great breakfast Found all the staff very friendly and helpful Will definitely stay here again”

Pauline

“Stayed at the pilot for 2 nights. Temperature taken on arrival and socially distanced tables set out. Room was a good size and had everything we needed, breakfast was pre ordered the night before, it was good quality hot and freshly cooked. Had 2 evening meals and 1 lunch all were cooked to perfection and arrived at the table very quickly, the staff were the friendliest I have ever met, super efficient under pressure as the pub was constantly busy, spotlessly clean, plenty of parking at rear, would definitely stay here again.”

Ange R

"We happened upon this place after walking along the South Downs Way and were very impressed. Super friendly staff, lovely building, great vegan options for food and a sweet beer garden! Enjoyed some pints and listened to the seagulls. Would recommend."
