Tiny reviews of Brighton food and drink
Surprisingly small little pub offering Indian street food. It’s very tasty, although don’t make the mistake of trying to eat just small plates. You really want to have one of their mains and maybe a couple of small plates. But delicious, and lovely people.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 57 Upper N Street
Been meaning to go here for ages, and had delicious random Asian fusion sharing plates – crispy gyoza, bao, siu mai, crispy chicken. Surprisingly huge with multiple floors and roof terraces.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 2 Boyce’s Street
A hidden gem behind London Road station; huge outdoor space, cosy inside, nice people, good food. Thumbs up.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 146 Springfield Road
Very new pub in the old Revelator, but a really nice feel and nice looking burgers. Plus, they open for breakfast at like 7:30???
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 113-114 Western Road
Been meaning to go here for ages for their sausages and mash – choose your sausage, your mash and your gravy. Had cider and apple sausage, garlic mash and mustard gravy, and it was amazing. Sides pretty good too, and a really nice pub apart from anything else.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 1 Chatham Place
Although a Greene King pub, it does its own thing with pizza, and they’re great (2 for 1 Tuesday too!). My kind of space also – big, airy inside.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 100 Goldstone Villas

The old Dyke got a bad review from me, but the new Dyke, while a shadow of its former self (as in, half the old pub, maybe less, no garden) is an excellent pub. Had a great venison pie, lots of nice tables, friendly service, all good.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 218 Dyke Road
One of the few booze places right in North Laine, and it’s…fine. Very friendly, but pokey outside bit at the back with crappy tables and pretty small all round. Better probably to go to a proper pub.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 8-9 Sydney Street
Surprisingly huge pub with great interesting art deco type decor, a roof terrace and lots of nice seating. Really pleasant place!
Edit: Had dinner here last night, they have a BBQ type concession now. Had burger with maple bacon and chopped pork and it was an easy top burger, absolutely delicious. Mac and cheese and chopped salad sides were diabolical though, so revising down to an Ok.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 1-3 Prince Albert Street
Great community pub in Hove; lots of outside space including a pretty great play area for kids (fenced off!). Everyone there just great, and the food was smashing too. Will be going back.
Verdict: Awesome
