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 most often describe a large Wetherspoon in a former motor garage, praised for its value, with a sizeable menu of pub grub, generous portions, and a deal on an 8 inch pizza. Close behind is the drinks choice, with a good selection of beers, Carlsberg, and Stowford Press cider named as a treat. The beer garden and plentiful seating inside and outside also draw mentions, along with clean toilets and ordering through the app at the table. Service is the split point. Several call staff friendly, prompt, or quick even when packed, including a busy Saturday midday and an airshow breakfast. Others report the opposite: one says food took ages and drinks never arrived, so they collected them from the bar despite ordering table service, and another says staff serve whoever is in their eye line rather than who is next. A few mention rowdiness on weekend nights and waits for food or drinks when busy. One reviewer describes a Christmas display with a snow-topped fireplace model behind the counter.

    “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.”
