Nice place on the Brighton Pier. Full of tourists of course. They serve all kinds of staff and you can also grab fish & chips to go and eat it on the Pier which is great. The price was all right and staff very friendly.
We were a bit late being seated on the terrace, as they were still clearing up from the previous session however, there was room for us to sit and wait I the bar area.
I requested a table by the window, which was lovely, so that we could look out over the sea.
The staff were very polite and attentive and the tea was delicious. We opted for the full afternoon tea, which consisted of four finger sandwiches, a tartlet, scones with clotted cream and a selection of 5 other cakes. The scones were really fresh and delicious!
The sandwich fillings were all delicious and they cater for vegetarians and vegans.
They have a lovely selection of teas; we opted for the Japanese cherry tea, which was delicious!
We couldn't finish all the cakes, so they boxes up the remaining cakes for us to take home.
We had a really enjoyable, relaxing afternoon.
Went with friends for a special afternoon tea in the lounge overlooking the sea.
Service very efficient with a selection of cakes, scones, sandwiches and quiche plus tea of your choice and as much as you want. Cakes and scones were really good, sandwiches standard.
You feel they could make the selection more unusual as expensive!
Far too much and one between two would be sufficient for most people.
Good afternoon and experience.
An afternoon tea here is a real treat for anyone visiting Brighton or living here. The atmosphere is genteel and relaxed, overlooking Brighton seafront. You get a big pot of tea, with two savoury plates and three sweet plates. There are different blends of tea to choose from, and you can also add some bubbly if you are celebrating a nice occasion.
Very nice afternoon tea of traditional sandwiches, delicious mini quiche, fabulous scones and cakes too. There is too much food to eat at one sitting but requesting a doggy bag is very acceptable. The Grand is very busy at the moment and struggling with the volume of guests so booking is a must.
Came here for drinks for the first time with friends. Very attractive bar, comfortable and elegant seating areas, and friendly & attentive staff.
Very much art deco styling, in keeping with the age and history of the hotel itself. Not too expensive, given the experience of visiting this lovely bar. Would definitely visit again.
Beautiful decor and friendly service. The food is good but slightly let down by being too salty. The glasses weren’t clean/dried properly which had a very horrible smell and taste. Otherwise it was perfect for my palate. Hope there’s some improvement on my next visit.
We arrived in Brighton at around 9am but had to wait till 2pm to check in. So we parked the car and took a walk down the pier to find this place. Lovely and chilled, got a drink and sat on the deckchairs outside and watched the world go by!
We we’re staying in Brighton for our anniversary, we stayed at the Metropole next door but after an uninspiring drink at their bar we went to the Grand for a drink. A lovely atmosphere with great service, just a little pricey
They have only been open a few days so there will be a settling in period.
The beer - good selection of Harveys beers but disappointing that there was no Best Bitter. One beer was off but was changed without query - they need to check them before start of service.
Decor - as you would expect it has been fully refurbished and looks really smart.
Food - the burger was good but I was amazed when they said they don't provide cutlery, so eating is a rather messy experience (hence the title); the chips were excellent.
The Lounge Bar was very friendly, drinks were not too expensive and the service was good. For an early evening dinner drink you really cannot beat it.
