Top selection of beer, including Harvey’s and Dark Star. Excellent pub food and regular events including a jazz night make this a special mostly local hidden secret. The Christmas decor is probably the best you will experience anywhere. I’ll have a pint of beaver.

Went for Sunday roast. Delicious but quite a small portion. Chose the vegan option - nut loaf (can't believe some places still only do nut loaf as the option!) - and it was quite stodgy.
Dessert options great however. Pub is lovely and cosy. Just not wowed by the roast.

Great town pub, good selection of beers, fantastic garden with an array of unique seating from cubby carriage type seating to benches, well designed with throws for warmth is a nice touch.

This is a green of a pub which is cosy and roomy and yet comfortable. It had a great garden setup with a couple of heated huts.
The Sunday roast is amazing. Permit parking near and around the area.

Great pub, amazing staff, tasty drinks.. but the food was a bit disappointing. Wouldn't recommend the banh mi or ribs... Ribs were basically just bone and some overcooked meat.. and the banh mi bun was toasted so the bun was really hard to eat.

Lovely pub with outdoor garden, serving great Pan Asian food.
There is also a children's outdoor play area, which unfortunately was not in use when we went. Hopefully it will reopen soon.

By far the best roast I’ve had in a long time! I opted for the vegetarian cauliflower and broccoli cheese Wellington…. Was so good thank you!!!

Good pub in Hove's poet corner, decent selection of drinks.
I do like this pub, when it is busy can take a while to get served, however that is no different from any other pub in the area.
Worth a visit if in the area.

Delicious Sunday roast! We had the pleasure of enjoying 6 incredible meals this Sunday. Our party consisted of vegans, vegetarians, meat lovers, dairy and chili allergies and child who is very particular about her food and all were cateted for extremely well and had a varied choice too. Definitely don't expect the usual one veggie/vegan option to… be a standard Wellington or nut roast! The staff were attentive and friendly despite being very busy and the atmosphere in the pub was great. I haven't enjoyed a roast this much in the 11 years I've lived in Brighton. Can't recommend enough.

An absolute pleasure coming here for a drink and some food! Recommend by friends and I was highly delighted with the experience. The food was rich with amazing flavours compliment each other. If you’ve got a sweet tooth the pork belly bits are incredible. The style of menu fits the pub well and I will be pleased to come back. I have heard good things about their roast beef too so I will be trying that soon.

Kids area for young children, garden with booths, big bar area and out front seating.
Reasonable selection of beers and ciders.
Came for Sunday roast, meals all arrived at the same time. Food was hot and considering we arrived at the end of the day it was good! Many places the potatoes and veg are hard/over cooked.
Service friendly and helpful and full Covid-19 practices in place.
Well done and thank you
