Food & Drink

Though slightly more expensive than some of the other local establishments, they have an incredible view from the roof terrace bar over looking the beach and is a great place to watch the sunset. During the day they have ‘shacks’ outside on the promenade level where you can buy snacks and teas and coffees, as well as beers in a plastic cup to sit on their decking. Four different areas for eating and drinking and different menus based on the time of day.

This is our most local pub and is open weeknights until midnight, and later on the weekend. Friendly bar staff and a number of craft beers guesting on tap, changed every few weeks or so. Pub quiz on a Monday night! £2 to enter. Lovely outdoor areas both on the road and in a covered garden out the back. The food isn’t bad either - typical gastro pub menu, though the roast is always incredible. Phone and book roasts ahead for extra sides thrown in for free. They often have a jazz roast on the last Sunday of the month with a live jazz band.

Absolute killer menu, nothing is not delicious. Completely plant based, including the drinks, this recently opened (2022) bar and kitchen offers some of the tastiest food in Brighton - whether you’re vegan or not. Fake meats are seasoned to perfection and accompanied by some of the tastiest sauces. Definitely book ahead on this one, very small and intimate setting with limited places for walk ins. Often booked as so popular, so book ahead! Not located particularly close to the house, but 10 minutes by car/taxi or accessible via London road bus stops

Quite an expensive pint with an old fashioned dark interior, but the garden is worth it! Catch the last of the evening sun in this proper beer garden.

Sightseeing

You can’t come to Brighton and Hove and not visit the Royal Pavilion! Set in some lovely gardens, take a picnic and sit in the sun and look at this rather ridiculous piece of architecture, then pop inside for a tour after!
