About
The Pilot Inn bursts to life in the heart of Eastbourne’s picturesque Meads area, offering a quintessential English pub experience. With a spacious garden, a cosy bar, and a welcoming, rustic interior, the pub caters to families, pet lovers, and food enthusiasts alike. When not hosting lively evening crowds, the venue hosts four charming B&B rooms, each with an en‑suite bathroom, allowing guests to stay close to the vibrant beach and South Downs walkways. Whether you’re dining on local ales and signature cocktails or simply enjoying a cup while watching the tide, The Pilot Inn invites visitors to experience the best of seaside charm and local hospitality.
