The Bevy

Met son and family at this local pub around corner from their home. A good welcome by barman and the locals, all very friendly. My German cousin and myself had veggie and chicken burgers which were delicious and son and partner the specials. All excellent and good value and a venue I would recommend.

I visited this pub for the first time because it was hosting the Brighton Repair Cafe that day. I was welcomed by one of the joint owners as I came in through the front door and was made to feel at home straight away. Other customers were a mixture of old guys, some younger mums and singletons, and a few (well-behaved) children. The traditional well-stocked bar sells quality real ale at a good price - a pleasant surprise compared with Brighton city centre venues! (The Bevy's a free house.) Some squashy sofas and smart but homely table and chairs fill the main space giving it quite a cafe feel. The food menu's not too long - always a good sign! Off to the right is an area that can be shut off from the main space with sliding doors if wanted for a function or meeting. It also has a coffee and food counter selling homemade savoury and sweet snacks. Beyond is a covered outside terrace/smoking area. Throughout, lots of large windows make for a light and airy atmosphere. The loos are modern, maintained and clean - another pleasant surprise! A veg garden is in development at the back of the pub. And the surrounding area is residential and green. Yes, I'll be back and I recommend you try it too!

The Bevy has just opened after a re vamp during lockdown. It looks very nice. Lovely to hear they supported the local community during lockdown by delivering meals. Nice evening with lots of people outside but we opted to sit inside. Staff very welcoming, friendly & efficient. My friends & I chose off both the main menu and the specials board. Between us we had pasta, generous portion, cod with vegetables and a burger. All were excellent, absolutely no complaints about the food at all. Only 2 deserts, neither of which we fancied so we had coffees instead. While it is good the pub is dog friendly ( I like dogs) it was very off putting that a customer was allowed to let their dog off lead to wander around the pub. Several times it came to our table which was a bit annoying. Dogs should be kept on a lead and under control in public places. Well done to the chef, we will return!

My dad and I noticed this place as we were passing in George Street and we decided to give it a go and we loved it. The decor is simple but pleasant and comfortable. We were greeted and served by the manager Titu, who was a wonderful host. Friendly, polite and quick with our food. He was very kind to us and even threw in a free nan when we quickly finished the first one. I tried the Chicken Balti and I think my Dad had the Chicken Korai. The food was fantastic, succulent and tasty. We were served poppadoms to start and 4 dips which were very pleasant too. We will definitely being going back there and will get takeaway from them too. They also do home delivery which is handy. It's only been open a few weeks so I highly recommend you check this place out as its new but hidden gem.
