“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 cosy, traditional low-ceiling pub we visited with my husband for drinks and a bite to eat. The food was excellent, and we enjoyed a lovely bottle of red wine recommended by Sean.”

“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.”

“We love this dog friendly pub, very friendly owners/staff make you feel welcome. The food is nice and sensible prices. The inside is quite quirky with lots of paintings on the wall that gives it a nice atmosphere. There is a great outdoor area when the weather is better.”

“Went for the Christmas party night, beautiful decorations, very festive!! Good choice of food, decent portion size, good service, reasonably priced drinks, fab entertainment. My only slight complaint was the entertainment was very, very loud, Will take ear plugs next time! Staff were lovely, friendly & attentive. We would go again. I'd like to go back for a Sunday roast and other things on the menu looked interesting as well! 5*****”

Customer Review Summary
Diners praise the food, from a Sunday roast to fish and chips with homemade tartar sauce and mushy peas, with a brownie and ice cream close behind. Several mention friendly staff, a nice garden and live music, and one enjoyed a draught zero alcohol beer. A couple hosted their wedding reception here, and the buffet left all their guests well fed.
