I went here for the first time on Sunday for a family roast. The staff were very helpful and the service was great. There was a very pleasant open feel to the place. The food was amazing, by far the best roast I’ve had in Hove.
Will definitely be back again soon!

We recently went for a family roast here. The service was great. So helpful and friendly. We were recommended a starter and I have never tasted anything quite like it. 10/10 It was amazing. My daughter isn’t a fan of roasts so she opted for pasta. There was a good range of options for her which she was happy about. The roasts were so full of flavour and the meat was cooked to perfection. It was also a nice touch that we could see the chiefs working away. We posted pictures on social media and my friends liked the look of the food so much they went the same day. We will definitely be returning soon.

Roasts to die for! Decent portions and utterly delicious. Our group tried all the different roasts on the menu and everyone was really impressed with the quality and what good value it was. We’ll definitely be back for more and would highly recommend 😋

Nice interior decor, bar staff are friendly, quick service, and prices are reasonable with deals on cocktails 2 for £16. Outdoor seating is lovely on a sunny day (although uncovered).

The first thing is probably the most important! The Sunday roasts which honestly are delicious and one of the best Sunday roast lamb and sides I've eaten!. For a first time coming into the pub it was disorienting and confusing due to how busy it was and the size of the place, I feel this could easily be improved by having a host on the front door directing booked bookings to tables or helping with any further customer queries. With the food quality I feel this place should or could offer full table service with maybe an added optional service charge which would enhance the guests experience and generate a higher hourly rate for the chefs and front of house staff. I defentley will be returning and highly recommended!.

Called in for a beer on a Monday afternoon. Very quiet. Nice pint of Guinness, couldn't see any real ale. Apart from that, a good selection of beers.
Nice comfortable pub, clean and bright. Great for a large party of people. Also comfortable bays.
Menu looked OK.
Disabled access at the back.
Pleasant staff.
Will try the food next time.

The SC went out of their way to accommodate severe allegories on our group. The chef prepared a specific menu suitable for the variety of foods that needed avoiding. The waitress asked specific and relevant questions, and served his food first, to ensure no cross-contamination. They even went as far as to ask if all okay with ordering drinks etc from the bar. Outstanding attention. Food was really good as was the atmosphere- really lovely lunch. So appreciative of their attentiveness and professionalism. Great for dogs and babies too!

Very well designed new pub. Stylish mix of Scandinavian and New York architecture.
Excellent jazz on weekends that is totally free.

1st time visit after total refurbishment.
Spacious and nicely done up, feels so much more modern and welcoming.
Staff were super friendly, polite and professional today at 12:30pm. 10 out of 10.
Special offer on the Espresso Martini, 2 for £16, spot on with the coffee liquor.
The beers were very nice too.
The ribeye steak was perfectly cooked to requested medium, juicy and tender, and portion size is definitely very generous.
Not a huge menu to offer, but it helps massively in better food quality and cooking to perfection. Highly recommended.
Will definitely be back sooner next time.

My husband and I always come here since it’s been refurbished.. whether it’s a weekday or weekend, the food and staff are always amazing! The food is phenomenal and with the change of menu on a regular basis gives you more of a reason to keep coming. The decor is lovely and has a chill vibe to it. They’ve started doing mulled wine which I need to say is prob one of the best I’ve had! The food is literally 10/10 and is way more than pub food.. the small dishes are just next level!!!!
