Affordable and comfortable food and drink. Unlike almost every other pub the prices here are the lowest you will find for some decent food, for £25 (2024) you can have a huge choice of 2 meals, 2 drinks and a coffee. Or pay just £16 (2024) for ''3-plates''. Comfortable seating, with some sought after booths available. A refillable coffee is just £1.50 cheaper than any rivals and also available for take-away. Always a popular venue, if you arrive after 2pm on Monday to Thursday you are more likely to have a choice of seats. The Upstairs area is very intimate. Disabled facilities available. Assistance dogs (eg Guide Dogs) only are allowed.

Came here 4 times whilst visiting Brighton. The young (mostly student), long-suffering & hard-working staff were very good: efficient & helpful. I had something to eat on each occasion. Recommended. I’m a big fan of Spoons as a business. TOP TIP: choose carefully when to go to a Spoons: at times, especially w/e nights, these places resemble a night shelter. However, if you choose wisely you wil be rewarded by the cheapest booze in the business.

Typical spoons, good beer, cheap prices. Staff were friendly, always around collecting empty glasses. The layout of the pub on the ground floor was just table and chairs, upstairs or halfway up had some bar stools with a short bar, you could either sit at the window or look across the ground floor, upstairs had a couple of snugs with table and chairs.
