Reviews
"Nice pub, my friends enjoy it as a great local, has erdinger in bottles, which is my constant theme. Good atmosphere, mixed crowd, all good"
"I love this pub. Literally come everyday and have never had a issue with the staff (the short beautiful girl and ginger beard guy particularly). Pieces are brilliant and I love the managers. Would highly recommend. Still need to try the roast but it looks stunning."
"Me and my boyfriend turned up last night to have a cute date night, after working really hard for a good few weeks. We were looking forward to the Thursday £30 special offer of steak and a bottle of red. We had heard good things from friends in the past, however we turned up and the young man behind the bar was extremely rude. We came in and asked about the deal and all we got was a blunt 'no' and 'kitchens closed'. We were a little confused as the sign outside the pub had the deal written on it so we could only assume the deal was still relevant. When we asked the bar man said 'yeah don't think we've ever done that deal mate'. We were quite taken back by his rudeness and bluntness, explaining the sign outside still displayed the deal. He walked off to sort out some glasses half way through the conversation so we were just left standing there in confusion at his rudeness. We we were not given any form of customer service, no apology or smile. I completely understand mistakes happen and people have bad days but there was no need for his attitude and it did put a dampner on our date night. The actual pub looked nice and having never been, I would have stayed for a drink as we had walked all the way there, but after the rude staff member I didn't feel welcomed or comfortable in the circumstances. I don't leave bad reviews ever, but I was hugely disappointed and I feel it is important I share my experience. If I ran a pub, I'd want my staff to be friendly and approachable. As well as signs and offers to be up to date as the sign was very misleading. I won't be returning."
"Great pub if you're looking for somewhere a little cheaper as it's not in Central Brighton. It's only a 10 minute walk from there or a very quick bus ride. The drinks are all very reasonably priced and there are deals for students if you bring student ID with you. The inside space has well-spaced out tables and a pool table too. The garden area is quite big and some tables have heaters above them. I always recommend this place for pre-drinks but it's also a lovely sociable pub if you want a chill night out with friends."
"Absolutely delicious roast beef and trimmings. Great service, great venue and good selection of drinks. The beef was one of the best quality I've had in a long time and the gravy went with it really well. Would highly recommend."
