This pub has a very friendly atmosphere, we had a really nice sunday dinner, and our children were made to feel really welcome, even down to having their own gravey jugs :) as you know it can be the little things that make all the difference, Oh and the price was very reasonable for our meal as well. read more

The Castle Inn at Pevensey Bay is a solid traditional pub, close to the beach. It offers a fair…read moreselection of cask ales at average prices, a pleasant community atmosphere and the obligatory pub grub. The interior is fairly extensive and rather bright, and there's a small seating area to the front. The pub isn't really close to the castle, it's in "the other" part of Pevensey Bay, the beachfront part. Having a few hours to kill after visiting Pevensey Castle (the trains from Pevensey Bay station in either direction go just four times a day: twice in the morning, and twice in the afternoon along the Hastings to Brighton line), I paid this nice place a visit. Not quite as atmospheric and picturesque as The Royal Oak and Castle Inn (which ACTUALLY is next to the castle), it's a solid pub.

Perfect place to drop by after a visit to the castle, it opens at noon. Higher standard food than usual, too. It's right next to the castle, can't miss it. If you have a few hours to kill in Pevensey Bay (the castle and pub are a 10 minute walk from the station), especially if you arrive by train and can't leave until the middle of the afternoon (there are only four trains in either direction between Hastings and Brighton a day, two in the morning, two in the afternoon).

The pub is large with a nice bar at the entrance that was well attended by the locals the night we were there. There is a large dining area further in, which also looked to be very popular. The pub food we enjoyed with our drinks was excellent. The staff were very nice and eager to be sure we had all we wanted. The bar, at least, is very dog friendly. At least 3 locals brought theirs in with them. The staff knew 2 of them by name. They also have a very nice looking "beer garden" in the side yard. On a warm, sunny day it would be perfect for enjoying a pint of one of their beer on tap!

Being the bank Holiday weekend, most decent establishments should be busy regardless. For those who don't know the venue, it's not the biggest pub but you get 30 people in there or so it would seem full. More or less every table had people on it, bar maybe 1 or 2. Those that were there when we loaded in all stayed, we have definitely played to less people in the 6 years nearly that we've been going. The 'man' in question is the landlady's husband and had been drinking all night, he stopped us playing in the middle of our second set, which to start off with is just plain rude anyway but then the following ensues. We happened to be filming the gig and it luckily picked all this up. We want to let musicians and gig goers alike know how both the landlady and her 'delightful and well mannered' husband treat musicians and bands who take the time do them a service. The last couple of years have been hard enough for musicians and shit like this does not help. We've never witnessed this before in the decade that the musicians individually have been gigging on the circuit. It's also worth mentioning despite having in writing that they would pay us a certain amount they underpaid us and are completely in breach of contract. We want to thank the customers that took the time to come see us outside and thank us for what we did and that were also in total disbelief at what had happened.

There were a good selection of beers and the wait staff was friendly. I probably wouldn't have given it another thought however, if I hadn't come back tonight for dinner. Most of the menu looked appetizing, but I ended up ordering from the specials menu. I had the mussels as a starter, and a slow cooked beef in a red wine sauce as the main. The mussels were cooked in a white wine and cream sauce and served with a slice of garlic bread. I'm fairly partial to mussels in general, but these did not disappoint. As for the beef, the presentation was outstanding. A perfect cylinder of meat on a square bed of mashed potatoes. The meat was perfectly seasoned and fell apart in my mouth. It was served along side a selection of vegetables that were also cooked perfectly... hot, fresh, and not mushy or overcooked at all.

We went to see our parents staying at a nearby campsite and drove into Pevensey Bay to find somewhere for lunch. The Beach Tavern looked busy and inviting so we decided to go in. The five of us including my 2 year old son were quickly given a great table with plenty of room for the high chair for my son. We ordered drinks and no sooner than they arrived, the Landlord came over with a toy for my son to keep him occupied which I thought was a really nice touch. We ordered the food with a really friendly young waitress, Five roast dinners with all options available to us (Usually a busy pub has run out of some). The food arrived and looked fantastic including the mini version for my son. All fresh produce and no frozen spuds! It really was home cooked quality. They even gave my son a childrens set of cutlery which we have never experienced when eating out, we always take our own. The food was fantastic, the dessert's equaly as good, even the presentation of the food was brilliant and unexpected for a pub restaurant. The entertainment was great with a really superb Lady singing in the background. When we left, the Landlord went out of his way to say goodbye to my son, by then calling him by his name. Even the locals said farewell and commented on what a quiet child my son was. This really was the best Pub lunch experience I have ever had, and I will be revisiting in August when we are down in the area next. Great Pub, Great Food, Great people. Wish all pubs were like this one. See you soon. read more

Since living in the area (4 years) we have not found one pub where we would return and we have tried quite a few, that is until today. We made a last minute decision to try Sonia's restaurant here and had a truly excellent lunch. From the first welcome through discussing our options, making our selections from a varied menu that would suit all tastes, every aspect was excellent. The food was very good, well presented with friendly service. It is so nice to eat in an establishment with clean white linen tablecloths and napkins, comfortable chairs and not crowded on top of each other. We would highly recommend them. read more

We went as a group of 5 and took a 13 month old baby on the 11/1/12. It was my first visit and it was Brilliant.The food was excellent and a great price, then menu was well thought out with variety and aa specials board. However the most impressive thing was the staff ! Brilliant because they made us feel so welcome almost like friends, genuine, good humoured and relaxed without being overbearing and subservient. I thoroughly recommend The Beach Tavern for a meal and if you have a baby. They have genuinely thought about the customer i suggest you give it a try read more

Even though we live 3 miles away, we now regard this excellent pub as our local. Absolutely everything is great about it and the food in the adjacent Sonias restaurant is excellent quality and very reasonably priced. Varied programme of entertainment, so there is always something going on. The landlord Stephan goes out of his way to make visitors feel welcome and makes a very refreshing change from the sterile manger type pubs that are everywhere now. Well done to Stephan and his wife for creating such a special atmosphere. Highly recommended. read more

We did not have a reservation and were made welcome as soon as we came through the door. A table for two was found for us and it was nice to see spotless white table linen and napkins (much nicer than the usual paper napkins). Our order for drinks & food was taken delivered to the table very quickly. The staff were cheerful and showed genuine interest in their customers. Our Sunday lunch was provided at a reasonable price. A bonus was that, being winter, parking in the nearby large carpark was free of charge.we shall return! read more

My husband and I were staying in the Bay for a short Easter break with my sister and partner and, although we did not eat here, we found the atmosphere extremely friendly and vibrant. Stefan and his team put a lot of effort into making you feel very welcome and a lot of work has gone into making sure there is always something going on to attract a wide range of customers. The entertainment whilst we were there ensured we had a brilliant time. We would certainly recommend The Beach Tavern and look forward to our next visit. read more

We were staying in Pevensey Bay for 2 weeks (late-June-early July) and had the pleasure of visiting the Beach Tavern nearly on a daily basis. The venue has a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere and the people behind the bar were very nice and service minded. The most memorable event for us was without any doubt the two karaoke evenings we frequented. Many great singers (the landlady included!) and lots of fun. We really hope to get back as soon as possible. read more
