Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return above all for the Thai food, with the Thai green curry named specifically and several calling it among the best Thai meals they have had, in generous portions at prices they find good for Brighton. Close behind is the staff, described as friendly, helpful and welcoming, with one reviewer noting they helped get a meal out quickly before a gig. The pub itself is called cosy, and the beer choice and a happy hour earn mentions too. One reviewer suggests reserving a table because it gets very busy.

“Certainly my go too when in Brighton. The Thai food is excellent, I've been a couple of times and just recently with the family for a meal, again excellent! Highly recommended.”

“Really great staff, made me feel so welcome and went out of their way to help eat quickly before a gig. Genuinely old skool service at its best! Can’t wait to go back here again! Thanks 🙏”

“I was waiting patiently at the bar, stone cold sober. Barmaid made me wait ages & when it was my turn she went to serve someone else who was after me in the queue. When I said something about it she refused to serve me. Her attitude stank & I will never go back to the Mucky Duck. Although other people say they had a good time in there, this was not my experience. Establishments should realise its about how they treat their customers, they're there to serve the customers & we're the ones paying their wages. They're there for our convenience, not the other way round.”

“A great find in Kemptown. Old style decor which is lovely and cosy. Super bar staff, seats available but best to reserve a table as it gets very busy. Delicious Thai menu. Highly recommended.”
