Reviews in Brighton and Sussex

What can i say about this little gem of a pub.If you want nostalgia, they have it by the bucketful.ww2 and titanic collections every where.The food is beautiful, well cooked and presented.Always a tasty special or two to choose from and its real food, bacon and onion pudding, steak and kidney pies, a jam roly polys, yum!!! well worth a look in.

Lovely restaurant, really good spicy food. Bit on the cramped side but very good service, a real gem of a dinning experience.

great food, fantastic cocktails and some of the nicest staff in the business. I so often find that good restaurants have waiters that are to far up their own behinds. Nice work and can't wait for the new place to open as it is a local for me

Went to The Priory Grill (new name for The Priory Carvery) last Sunday for lunch and was amazed at the place. Such a stunning building for a great meal. Carvery had the usual meats of beef, turkey or gammon on it with a selection of vegetables. Good value for money with starters and deserts available. I was too full from my starter and main course to have desert! Had a look at the weekday Grill menu and will defo be going back for a steak. Tempting offer of a 2 or 3 set menu too..... 8/10

gastro pub style food at very reasonable prices. I had a whole baked bream (perfectly cooked btw)and with braised gem lettuce and potato gratin for £9. my partner had seafood pie with all manner of fish and crustaceans. fantastic. gonna head down for some of there southdowns lamb this Sunday which I've heard is absolutely great.

Really authentic food! The mezzes were great, the kebab succulent, the atmosphere amazing and the service was good. All in all was worth the trip to Brighton for! I recommend it!

Best breakfast in the Old Town, excellent coffee. Try the German breakfast it will see you through the day!

Popped in for a quick Saturday lunch. Sat on the sofas and had Soup and Croque Monsieur both delicious. Friendly relaxed service and atmosphere.

We had a lovely meal here just before Christmas. The restaurant has new owners and a great new menu. There is something on it for everyone. I'm Vegetarian and was most impressed to see the veggie options-so much choice!!!(makes a change). My meat eating Husband wasn't disappointed either. The atmosphere is very welcoming too. The waitress couldn't be more helpful and polite. We will definitely be going back again. A great place for an evening meal-give it a try!!!

we have relatives in hastings and will not visit without returning to the black pearl.my fourteen year old son loves cooking and also loves his food, hence we always pre order the lobster,his fav. great food and lovely people.

We had a Christmas meal here with all the family and it was fantastic. Beautiful, clean place with friendly and kind staff. Good with the children and spotless toilets. The food was amazing - fresh and tasty, and lots of it. I was really amazed to find a place of such quality in Forest Row, and at a very good price. I would recommend this restaurant very highly - a wonderful find.

Good wine, good food,good service,thats not a bad start is it.I would highly recommend the experience,the sort of place you could sit from midday to midnight indulging yourself.

I have been for breakfast and for dinner and both experiences were fantastic! I cant wait to eat there again. The food is absolutely devine and the staff are so nice and friendly. Definitely a hidden treasure!

went there for a birthday surprise. greeted by very friendly staff, excellent service. food was well presented and very tasty at not a bad price. would definately recommend.

Just to let you know what a great place this is. The food is superb, service was great with very happy and friendly waiting staff. The food is so much different to every where else, its freshly cooked, tastes great and looks amazing. it is well worth a visit, party big or small. enjoy!!!!!!

we have used the happy dragon for take aways for years and they have always been great 100% of the time. the singapore noodles are the best ever.

Been twice now and going again in about an hour. Ask for the garlic dough balls they are a great start to an enjoyable lunch. Stone baked pizza's are super. Well done Luna!!!

Don't bother going here. The waiter/bar manager is a nasty bully. We went there once on a big work do and spent ₤700+ on drinks. My workmate picked up a barely visible tiny dish of bombay mix from an empty table next to our large group and he came over and accused her of stealing!! Although, every other empty table had snacks, our busy one didn't! Considering we'd spend so much money in his empty bar, this was really a poor show. We'll go elsewhere next time, not worth paying all that money for that kind of service again. I advise you to do the same.
