Read moreReally enjoyed our first visit to 1912. The staff were smart, professional and friendly ensuring a smooth service throughout the evening. The food was some of the best I've had in Eastbourne (and I've lived here for a few years). Great selection of dishes on the menu so plenty to choose from.

We'll be back again for sure, hopefully before the 20%...

Despite the negatives as these are easy fixes, I would recommend as the food is so good, just be prepared that the service doesn’t match the quality...
