The Daddy Longlegs

I can't say anything negative about this place!! My first interaction was with a really helpful barmaid when my partner and I got locked out of our apartment we were staying in for the weekend! She kindly let us use her phone and sorted out our drama! Thanks so much :) Then on the Sunday we had booked to have a roast here... wow!! I always compare every roast I have out with a famous little pub in Bristol with a 2 year waiting list for roast ... well Daddy Longlegs has beaten it hands down!! The beef was tender and cooked to perfectio , totally gorgeous! The roast potato's tasted amazing- so crispy with a rosemary flavour. Pigs in blankets were ginormous and the cauli cheese with bacon was a massive portion and obviously so good! We sat in a little conservatory area overlooking the garden. Very pretty. Garden was great too, all fresh and clean, swing seat and a sun trap in the summer I imagine! For days after and even now, my partner and I will say to each other "that roast...." because it was so good! Gutted we don't live closer as this would become a regular event! Thanks guys, oh and the staff were amazing too, really friendly waitresses!

The food here is amazing. They offered a range of small plates (think tapas) of inspired and technically excellent dishes, which we shared. All were excellent, whether meat, fish or vegetable. Even their fries were remarkable. Service was attentive and friendly, and the dining area comfortable and convivial. There was live music (the artist was Sonny B) who had an impressive vocal range and repertoire of covers, who successfully entertained a full house without detracting from the dining experience . In all a thoroughly enjoyable evening, representing good value and one I would be happy to repeat.

Whether it's their slap-up Sunday lunch or the creative small plates on their frequently changing menu, you'll struggle to find better food in Brighton - and you definitely won't find a warmer welcome or nicer staff than Laura and her team. Consistently excellent food, fabulous service and a cosy vibe - it's the very definition of a hidden gem. We still can't believe we're lucky enough to have it as our local!

The Daddy Longlegs is a lovely pub tucked away in Kemptown. It has a great atmosphere (not a loud and rowdy pub).. its a nice place to go for an evening or afternoon with your loved one or family. The service is impeccable- they have a wonderful selection of orange wines, white wines, reds etc and a small plates menu which varies from week to week. My favourite pub in Brighton. #forgrownfolksonly

I came here yesterday with 2 friends for the Sunday roast. It was really tasty and there was plenty of choice. I had the chicken, my friends had the lamb and the pork loin, which came out the kitchen fairly quickly. Didn’t think there was much choice for desert. With an alcoholic drink and the roast it came to around £22 each.
