Why posts are being held: a hello from Mods

57 Upvotes

Hello all! Especially new posters, just wanted to let you all know, please do not be alarmed if your posts of comments are ever held/deleted/filtered for spam, I’ve had to put really strong auto mod controls on again, it’s just 2 of us holding this sub together, and we don’t have time to let anything get posted, as this sub was marked for deletion by Reddit when we picked it up and made it back in to a community space, for Eastbourne and modded by locals of the town.

Unfortunately due to recent events, certain redditors taking internet comments extremely personally, threatening physical in person harm to myself, and stalking the real people behind the mod wall, I’ve with a heavy heart, had to lock loads down again, so apologies if stuff is waiting in queues. We will get to them as quick as we can, but I have to keep checking it’s not the person in question trying to get around the ban, they do not want to let it go for whatever reason.

Happy postings all and hoping we will be back to normal asap!

Mod team

Auction in Sovreign Harbour

2 Upvotes

As the title says, does anyone have any experience of selling in sovreign harbour area?

Currently have a flat up at auction at a tremendous discount and still no interest. Does anyone have any insight as to why the market is so poor and what they did to boost views?

Hello community! We live in the Blue Mountains, Australia and have lived in our house for 4 years now. We just found these camera slides tucked away at the very top of a cupboard, I was hoping we could use the power of the internet to find their family!

Cumberland Hotel - New Lunch Menu

Thumbnail gallery
38 Upvotes

I've just got back from lunch at the Cumberland Hotel. Their new menu launched today - £16 for 2 courses during October. There's a 3 course option too for £22.5 but none of us had desert.

I didn't have high expectations, at that price-point so I was very pleasantly surprised.

Nice food, beautifully presented. The menu had about 4 choices of starter and 4 choices of main. But none of my party had any trouble choosing because they were nice choices and a little bit different. Our waiter told us they plan to change the menu weekly.

I chose lardon and black pudding scotch egg. Followed by a crusted pork loin. Both were delicious. My wife and mum both chose a goats cheese salad. My mum chose lamb and my wife chose halibut.

Portions were just right for us. Enough to satisfy whilst avoiding stupid American-sized portions.

Strong recommendation from me. I will be going again.

one piece TCG venues

4 Upvotes

Hi all,

I've recently got into the one piece card game and I am aware of mana and hail Mary. I know they sell one piece tcg stock but are there any venues that hold events/tournaments?

bandai+ app shows the obvious brighton locations and Hastings and Bexhill but they are too far for me to travel to as I am Seaford based.

It seems that not many venues are registered to hold events or I'm so new I can't find them.

Thanks :)

Does anyone know what’s happening with the Costa building on Battle high street? And what shop it will become? It’s been vacant for months now… and the cash machine has been out of action for over a year!

Sovereign Harbour Questions

3 Upvotes

Hi all. Looking at moving to Eastbourne and liking the Sovereign Harbour area. Is it a nice and safe place to live (with a teen)? Is the beach in the area good for swimming (in Summer 😊). I saw in one post mention about sewerage stench as the treatment centre is close by? Any input would be appreciated 🙏 Thank you

r/Eastbourne, where do you actually eat in Eastbourne?

0 Upvotes

Hi, we’re four friends and we’ve put together Eastbourne’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota.

The idea is pretty simple: you’re shown two restaurants and choose where you’d rather eat. For example, The Pilot Inn or Anema e Core? All the votes then create a ranking that hopefully gives a better picture of where people in Eastbourne actually like to eat.

We’ve tried to include every restaurant in Eastbourne and clean up duplicate or outdated listings, but locals will always spot things we’ve missed.

iPhone:
https://apps.apple.com/app/vota/id6744969212

Android:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

Full transparency: we’re not from Eastbourne and live in Gothenburg. There are four of us building this independently. We don’t collect or sell personal data, there are no ads in the app, and we don’t use AI-generated content to describe restaurants.

Any honest feedback is welcome, especially if restaurants are missing or something is listed incorrectly.

Bandstand attendance for tribute acts.

2 Upvotes

I often visit Eastbourne to see family, and this weekend there were three tribute acts on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I was curious to know what the attendance is at these events as I didn’t see many people on the street before the shows.

Anyone been? What’s the atmosphere like?

TJ Hughes building

Does anyone know what happened to the charity shop that was in the ground floor of the building now that it’s been sold? Has it moved elsewhere or just closed completely? I think it was a community run thing as it had a little cafe in there too.
