Had a really delicious Sunday roast there today. I had a lovely vegan nut roast while others had the traditional chicken. We all were very happy. The manager was very friendly, and the drinks were well executed. It looks like it's been completely freshened up both in and outside. Will go back for sure
The Prestonville was a great local with well-liked long-term tenants until about 15 months ago, when they left and none of the three sets of people since then made a success of it. But now things are looking good again - friendly, very local tenants with plenty of good ideas and a new chef who has come up with a great menu. I’ve been to a couple of live music events and eaten there too after not going for a while. Four stars for now with the promise of better things to come at last.
Surprisingly modern and clear decor, a great selection of craft beer and a wonderfully well priced roast. Easy 5/5 would go again!
The pub has a nice decor and friendly staff. All the essentials you need from draught beers to cocktails. Food was very good and they started a fire too.
Popped in after an exhausting day getting some culture looking at the open houses. This is a warm relaxing pub with good beer and food. Busy but bar staff were friendly and efficient.
Lovely atmosphere, buzzy without being too busy, friendly owners, nice fire and the food, Sri Lankan night, was absolutely delish.
But the music was AWFUL. I love a show tune as much as the next person but there was some terrible musicals CD on a loop, Evita, Greatest showman etc. It was like the music at a 6 year olds birthday party. Please just play some normal-ish music with the odd Lala song thrown in. We left after the 3rd loop, couldn’t listen to it anymore.
Other than that a great pub and the new owners appear to be finding their feet despite accusing the locals of being homophobic in a local magazine article - ironic given how many of the locals are gay, have gay kids and the previous licensee was also gay. Plus - we’re all ‘down from London’ in this area. Not one born and bred Brightonian as far as i’m Aware!
Would have got an excellent if it wasn’t for the music.
Great little local, warm, clean, with fantastic food and friendly welcoming managers. Loaded chips and burgers have been excellent 🤗 The katsu scotch egg was delicious, the whitebait were perfectly cooked and tasted fresh. Plus the Big Hug Juicy Pale beer is good too!
Fabulous Sunday roast,very generous portions, food piping hot ,5 of us ,all meals arrived together ❤️
Great Sunday Roast, this was my second visit as they have a great selection, and cater for Gluten Free, including GF Yorkshire puddings. Definitely recommend.
Popped in here whilst working in Brighton, as they didn't require pre booked tables. Friendly staff coupled with great food ( I had the fish and chips) made for a pleasant stop at this lovely little pub. Recommended!!
