We’ve lived in a lot of places, all with varying degrees of a ‘good local’, this is by far the best. Great food, great ale, good selection of wines and guns and above all, great staff. They cater for everyone and anything and the effort they put it to celebrate our traditions is astonishing! Super lucky to have this place on our doorstep!
Sunday roasts were top notch. We have eaten here a number of times and the food has been fantastic on every occasion. The staff are great and the atmosphere is very friendly, children and dogs are made to feel more than welcome. Great local pub.
Had a great night celebrating Bastille day: French music, French food�and fun quizz: Merci! ��
Have eaten here a few times recently and have been very impressed each time. Tried the rump steak with chimichurri last night and it was delicious! Perfectly rare, full of flavour and a generous helping. The quiz night is also great fun and all the staff are very friendly. Very nice local pub.
Sunday lunch and birthday party for 10 kids. Awesome food, great beers and craft ales, awesome coffee, helpful staff and my kids had a great time. It does everything a great pub should do.
Friendly staff, nothing too much trouble and great food
A pub for everyone of all ages, top marks to the owners and staff who make this such an important part of the community and I live 60 miles away!!
Wonderful food, staff and atmosphere. My go to for family roasts, cocktails & music either the girls and coffee & sweets when I lock myself out!!
Had a great Sunday roast there. The atmosphere was good, the staff were frindly and helpful, and the ale was well kept.
Great place, good food, good selection of drinks, ever changing seasonal menus (not just pub grub) fantastic staff and management, also less than a 5 minute stagger to the main line railway station, perfect!!!
Managed to get a table for lunch yesterday, 1 roast lamb, 1 roast chicken and 2 nut roasts, there was virtually nothing left on our plates, it was just too fabulous to leave anything. Generous portions of everything, lovely choice of vegetables all cooked to perfection. And we all had a giant yorkie too. We didn't even miss the roasties, which was amazing for us !!! 👍
Came to play at the open mic and had me gorgeous sea bass, tasting fresh and beautifully presented. Felt like a king - thanks
Such a great local, but even if you're not it's well worth a visit
Came here recently and ordered a steak and chips. The steak was cooked as requested and the chips were really nice chunky ones. The staff were really friendly and helpful too. I would say the music was a little too loud for my liking but that's just personal taste. I will definitely be back to try the food again.
Lovely local Pub. I went there with a friend for Sunday Roast. Food came out really fast and it was really delicious of course.
The interior has a rustic vibe. I loved the fresh wild greenery they had on wach table.
Service was great. There is also some outdoor seating as well.
Opted for the George Payne as we fancied some hearty warming food! What a choice. Warm, friendly welcome, chilled atmosphere. Great choice of real ales too. The star of the show was the absolutely devious home made pie. My goodness. Absolutely just what we wanted it to be. Crispy shortcrust wrapped round a homemade pie. Cream my mash, fresh cake, roasted carrots and parsnips, the thickest delicous gravy and a dollop of French mustard. 10/10. Piping hot. Will be back for sure. £13.95 well spent. Thanks to chef Dave :)
Been to the George Payne several times for roasts and it never disappoints!! This is a family friendly & dog friendly pub with plenty of seating indoors and a great garden for drinking/dining outside on warmer days. The vegetarian wellington is fantastic (my personal favourite out of the various roasts I’ve enjoyed here) and they must be one of the only pubs in Hove where they don’t skimp on the gravy!! Worth 5 stars just for that to be honest ☺️ A great pub all round.
Casserole was ridiculously tasty and rich, with a little hint of spice in there. The blue cheese and bacon mash was insanely good too! And the veggies cooked to perfection. Cannot recommend highly enough!
Had a really nice roast here. The potatoes were not great, they were a bit dry and hard. but the rest of the roast was delicious. I had the 3 meat roast which was really good, but I did envy the pork that my friend got.
The service is really nice and they are all so friendly! We took 3 toddlers and a dog, and they didn't butt an eye at the chaos we caused
Absolutely fantastic pie! Cornish pasty flavour - home made. With rich gravy and lovely root veg & creamy mash.
Such a warm welcome.
Yum food will definitely be back
Visited for a Sunday roast and was so impressed! Food was delicious, we were found a spot even though we booked last minute.
The service was brilliant. The pub is beautiful. Am looking forward to coming back again soon.
Thanks so much George Payne!
Best of luck with the Christmas rush
Had the most fantastic Sunday roast which we booked last minute for Mother’s Day. Food was excellent quality and loads of it. Service was so friendly and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Highly recommend this pub for food, service and ambience. It’s a hidden treasure.

Kids area for young children, garden with booths, big bar area and out front seating.
Reasonable selection of beers and ciders.
Came for Sunday roast, meals all arrived at the same time. Food was hot and considering we arrived at the end of the day it was good! Many places the potatoes and veg are hard/over cooked.
Service friendly and helpful and full Covid-19 practices in place.
Well done and thank you
Lovely food. Very fresh and home made. Good value for money too. We enjoyed our visit, enjoyed the food and the staff were helpful very friendly and created a good atmosphere in the pub. Def one to revisit.
We pre booked for the Scotland vs Ireland game, service is super fast and big place for big groups we had 23 for our stag do group had a tab for £500 felt like it was bottomless.
Great prices for drink.
Very friendly community pub. Attentive staff. Very relaxed ambience. Delicious menu. Chef really understands how to make roasties. Good selection craft and other beers. Specials menu at discount certain days. Open wood fire. Returning at earliest opportunity
Came to the George Payne this Sunday for a proper roastie in the sun! The food was delicious, black pepper beef was amazing! Staff lovely as always
Paula was amazing!!!! Super fast service and super easy to talk to! She took our order so fast and made the drinks even faster. Made the GP experience worth it!!
Was here on vacation. Great vibe. Our server Julia was awesome. Even during the Liverpool vs Arsenal game was willing to change a tv to accommodate my wishes to watch the final week of NFL and put on Red zone. Who would have thought I’d be watching American football in Barcelona.
This is a green of a pub which is cosy and roomy and yet comfortable. It had a great garden setup with a couple of heated huts.
The Sunday roast is amazing. Permit parking near and around the area.
