About The Cornfield Garage

On Cornfield Rd in Eastbourne, The Cornfield Garage is a pub set in a former motor garage, with a counter area kept alongside a fireplace model. Food and drinks are ordered through an app at the table, with table service bringing dishes out, and the menu runs to the classic Wetherspoon range, including an 8" pizza. Drinks include Stowford Press cider and Carlsberg. Seating is split between the main room and a backyard beer garden, with the toilets on the same level as the seating. It operates as a walk-in, no reservations, and weekends and event weekends tend to fill up, sometimes bringing a short wait for a table.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers consistently return for the value, with the 8 inch pizza at six pounds and the beer garden getting singled out for summer pints, close behind praise for the Stowford Press cider and the usual Wetherspoon menu at reasonable prices. Several call out the Christmas decor around the fireplace and counter, and the breakfast during a busy airshow weekend still came out quickly for one diner. Service draws a real split: some found staff prompt, attentive, and easy to order from via the app, while others describe a rougher side, one reviewer says staff were rude and forgot table service drinks entirely, forcing them to fetch their own from the bar, and another reports being told they'd be banned for complaining about the queue at the bar. Weekend crowds are noted as occasionally rowdy, with waits of ten to fifteen minutes for food or drinks at peak times. The space itself, converted from a motor garage, is repeatedly described as spacious with clean toilets even when full.

    “It's a typical large 'spoons, in what used to be a motor garage. Good selection of beers etc, and the usual' spoons menu, all at reasonable prices. The place was packed with customers having breakfast, as it was the airshow weekend, but service was quite quick and the breckie was good.”

    “Staff were rude, our food took ages to arrive and when it did they forgot to bring our drinks. when we asked about our drinks they were very rude in how they responded and acted. We had to go and grab our drinks from the bar as they didnt bring them too us although we had ordered off the app and requested table service. The food was nice, but a big let down was the service.”

    “Service is shocking, the staff are not bothered about ‘who’s next’ they just serve whoever walks to the bar in their eye line. They are vacant I spoke to a customer a fellow, long waiting, customer, as I was told I would get banned for moaning !! Really ? they need to improve their training, if they get trained. The other Spoons near the station is a lot more efficient with more professional staff”

    “A good Wetherspoons pub in a very central location. It was very busy when we visited Saturday midday and we had to briefly stalk for a table, but one opened up after only a few minutes. Despite the crowds, food and drinks came out fairly quickly and the atmosphere wasn’t overly loud even though every table was full. The toilets were clean and the space overall felt well managed for such a busy venue.”
