The Beachy Head, Eastbourne

Went to The Beachy Head for its carvery after a lovely day around the cliffs. The owner told us carvery had finished but he would be able to serve us a plated roast, great, except when it was served the food was obviously the left overs..dried up packet stuffing, frozen peas and sweetcorn, fatty pork, no sauces. They also started vacuuming the restaurant whilst we were there, if the place was shut, they should have said so. We left half our meal, and when he charged us full carvery price I complained politely, but he wouldn't budge. So, unhappily I paid. There were 4 other people who had been waiting for over an hour to be served, I said quiety to them that they shouldn't bother, he and his wife went mad, shouting at us and as we left he even insulted the way I was dressed! I have travelled extensively round the world, and never have I been treated so badly. Unfortunately this pub prob exists on tourist custom,no locals bother with the place. No wonder us brits have a reputation for horrid food, when places like this sell overpriced, poor quality food. To all foreign visitors, please go elsewhere, not all our cuisine is as bad as this, this aging pub is in desperate need of renovation with its filthy toilets, rude owners and poor food, and lets the beautiful East Sussex down.
