Reviews in Brighton and Sussex

Went back to the Giggling Squid in Hove after its recent refurb. They've kept all the nice stuff (i.e. the food) and revamped all the other stuff (i.e. the fixtures and fittings). Still feels nice and bistro-ey though and it's deceptively large so you can fit bigger parties in there comfortably. The chicken satay remains among the best on the south coast and the Massaman - a mild, peanut curry - is gorgeous (though it's a shame this is chicken or lamb shank only, rather than beef). Staff are lovely and it's got a wine list that doesn't make you gasp when the bill comes round. All in all the Giggling Squid is a hit, a palpable hit. Recommended.

Was just at the St Leonard’s branch. They can’t cope with the orders because of the home deliveries – so the staff told me after I complained. First of my order was massively delayed, then when they finally went to pack it they realised they hadn’t cooked the fishcake. Then when they went to prepare it the second time once the fishcake was cooked they realised one of the sausages in batter had been given away so there weren’t enough to complete my order….talk about ridiculous.I asked for some sort of refund seeing as I wasn’t able to have the order I paid for

We ate at the restaurant for our wedding anniversary and we could not fault it. It was probably the best steak that I have ever had and it was cooked correctly which is quite a rare thing. We will definitely visit the restaurant again.

14/10/14. I went with a group of 40 or so people from Polegate and nearby areas. Our choice from the menu was taken quickly and served within half hour of arrival. First course very plentiful and very attractively presented for all choices. Main meal the same - I had roast lamb with better than average roast potatoes and a separate dish of vegetables that stayed hot throughout the meal due to hot plates. All very tasty. Then while struggling to choose from an excellent dessert selection we were offered two specials - one of which was my favourite - Pavlova - that came with crispy meringue with cream filling, a scoop of delicious strawberry ice-cream topped with a decorative biscuit and a generous portion of a decorative tasty jouet of berry fruit. All promptly served

I went to the steak house twice last week, once in the evening and once at lunch time. The steak was very good, especially as I like mine blue. The staff were very friendly and the owner told me they buy their meat at Smithfields Market and then bring back the whole animal and butcher it themselves.The decor is modern and in keeping with theme of the restaurant.

This gem of a pub/restaurant is well worth a visit. Although I live in Los Angeles, I am often in UK

Sunday morning breakfast was idyllic in a garden setting. I couldn't have cooked better at home.

I can recommend Galileo as a friendly, authentic Italian pizzeria.

I visited Bentleys this weekend the food was very nice but I was a little disappointed in the desserts. The staff are very friendly and gave a good service only thing was I felt it was a little over priced if honest. I would definitely eat there again .

Good service, good food, well-served beer (although I have to state that Hall

Friendly, well-run neighbourhood pub with good beer and excellent food.

Nice venue, imaginative and well-presented food. Will return.

Good beer, good food, good atmosphere, friendly, helpful, always a pleasure.

Pleasant rustic pub, with good beer and food that's, well, pizza.The pizzas are very good although, if our experience is anything to go by, the calzone is best avoided.

Great beer, excellent food, and pork scratchings to die for!

Not the most stylish place, but the food's good, and the service attentive.

Nice pub, oriented towards diners. Not the cheapest, although the steaks we had there were truly excellent.

Absolutely fantastic venue, superb food and friendly staff. Best place to eat for miles around....
