The Royal Sovereign Pub

"We just stumbled into this place. What a delight, lovely ambience with the fountain, superb service and gorgeous food. We had the Arancini, Seared King Prawn, Skinny Fries, Club Slaw, Sourdough & Pecan Pie. It was ALL just so nice. The service was superb from Megan, Grace, Charlie & Tom. Clearly assets to themselves and to the restaurant. Keep up the superb work and will DEFO be back when we come back to Brighton. Thanks so much Andy & Joanie"

"There is a picture below of a roast from 2 years ago. Unfortunately that doesn’t resemble what was served to us today. I didn’t take a photo but it was a very sorry plate of food. Both is us had one quarter of a carrot each, one sprout of broccoli, no swede. My beef was literally a few wafer thin slices. When we went to get a desert because we were still hungry we were told the kitchen was closed but they managed to scrape together two brownies and ice cream. The service was just as tragic. From the moment we entered it was as if we were serving them, a real struggle to manage a warm welcome. My father has ran two pubs in his life and always did his utmost to make people feel welcome and this pub only had around 10 people so it wasn’t as if they were rushed off their feet. Even worse, never were we asked if we enjoyed our meal. How you can’t do that is beyond me or is it that you are aware of the below average roasts you are offering. It was so disappointing considering this is, on the face of it, a proper traditional pub. Of which I have given an extra star, otherwise I would have given it one."

"There is nothing really wrong with this place. The service is good and the serves of food were generous. It just isn't exciting, the decor is dated and there is no wow factor at all. There are other Italian food places in Brighton that are so much better."

"The best Thai food around. Highly recommended. My wife is vegetarian and they have a lot of options for her too. 5/5 from us!"
