Reviews in Brighton and Sussex

Dear team I appreciate serving the public can be difficult and I hope you take my review as a learning curve. The girls tried to look after us but with two 90+ adults it proved difficult. They did try to find us space for more leg room but the pews were too narrow and uncomfortable for elderly people. We were also put in a drafty position that they couldn’t cope with. They did find us a place upstairs but the door there was also open and the table was cramped for five people. For the meal we mainly had roasts and although the plates were hot the food wasn’t warm enough. The beef slices were wafer thin and my parents said the lamb was full of gristle and fat which they couldn’t chew. My mother said it hadn’t been cooked long enough! The young waitresses had no idea what a cruet was and there seems to be some basic service requirements missing. We used to fully enjoy coming to you but this fell short of a good experience.

We had a lovely meal with the most amazing flavours. The food here is so tasty and well presented. Thank you to all who make such a special place!

We had a very good lunch, great service and a lovely setting .Small plate portions were small and a little over priced but will come again. Many thanks

Food, service, atmosphere AMAZING Seafood soo fresh and great quality!

Easy booking table at lunchtime online on Friday of Bank holiday. Our table was outside and the sun was shining which always helps. Interesting array of aperitifs and cocktail style drinks as well as normal choices. Staff attentive and no long waits. Two of us had bream - delicious and one steak cooked well, bucket of ribs for two was delicious and fun. Service overall was good and adding one unexpected diner was no trouble. Great as usual.

Lovely evening meal last Friday. Excellent Humus followed by Steak and Lobster and excellent Pinot. Excellent as always.

Thank you for accommodating 7 hungry parkrunners on a busy Saturday. Great food, personable service. Very enjoyable.

An absolutely wonderful place to go and enjoy a meal. Great food and very friendly staff.

Great food , and fairly priced , had the half lobster and was absolutely delicious. Service was good too.Thoroughly recommend.

Fabulous as ever. Enjoyed the most delicious lunch yesterday. Faultless. Lovely people and great value. Highly recommend.

Second time this year at this great restaurant. I very rarely have paella in the UK as it can be so disappointing but I thought I would give it a try. It was excellent! The Eton Mess for dessert was delicious. One of the best restaurants on the south coast. Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic meal here for my partner's 50th birthday. The food and the atmosphere was perfect, with a fantastic range of drinks and a really tempting menu. The staff were so welcoming and friendly, and without asking made a very special fuss of my partner. I really could not recommend this place enough. We shall definitely be returning!

A delicious seafood menu in a lovely setting by the beach ... a great place for lunch.

Having just spent 4 weeks in hospital and care home I was absolutely ready to meet family at this marvellous restaurant. The Hake was beautiful, and my Dover sole meuniere cooked to perfection. The service is delightful and it was a very welcome return for me to what must be one of the best restaurants in the whole Brighton area.

The meal was delicious and great value. 2 of us had the curry of the day, chicken and coconut, while one had the steak and kidney pudding. The meals were freshly prepared, well presented, and tasty. It wasn’t our first visit and won’t be our last. The staff member, who was managing the bar and food orders alone, worked incredibly hard and maintained friendly and devoted attention throughout. She deserves considerable reward for keeping the place running. The chef, who must have been operating at high pace and pressure produced commendable dishes. Well done. We look forward to joining you again soon.

This is a great pub and place to eat, we have been here a number of times. This time the food could have been better but it sort of doesn’t matter because the place is just nice to be at. Some really interesting cocktails and great choice of beers (although I just had water this time!)

We booked here after seeing positive reviews online. Thankfully, they were pet friendly and the staff made us and our dog very welcome. Our meal was absolutely superb. I was a little worried not being a fish lover, however the tuna dish i chose was cooked to perfection. Every course was exceptional and we left having asked for the recipe of one of the items. The staff were all very attentive and the atmosphere warm. I would most definitely visit again.

Excellent service provided from the young ladythat served us.. The food was outstanding. Will be planning to return soon.
