“This has been our favourite place to enjoy tasty food and unwind every time we visit Brighton and Hove - whether for a full meal, a pint or some tea. It's a cosy, atmospheric place where the staff are genuinely happy to see you. The chef pays extra attention to making sure everything is delicious, whether it's a main, a small plate or a dessert. It's not only our favourite pub in Rottingdean but in the whole of Brighton & Hove - we visit it whenever we're in the area. The place has a real spirit to it - a unique spot with a nice garden, well worth popping in if you have the opportunity.”

“A great night with family such a cosy evening and superb food that everyone loved. I had fish and chips with homemade tartar sauce and mushy peas. Lush brownie and ice cream for pudding. Scrumptious. We all loved the music, even though we spanned 2 generations ... we had shazam listening out and I came back with a playlist!! Ohhh and the FIRST on draught zero alcohol beer I've been served, and it was delicious. I highly recommend.”
