The Coach House

One amazing experience! We decided on a whim to go towards Brighton on a Saturday morning and I am glad we did! Walking along the coast towards Rottingdean was super relaxing and ending up in this pub was just the cherry on the top! Nothing fancy, people dressed casually, with kids (us) and dogs (others) on tow. The food was delicious, portions were big and prices were fair for quantity and quality. The ladies that manned the bar and helped us around with arranging the table for kids and helicoptered around us to make sure all is good... were more than great, friendly and a pleasure to talk to. So, to sum up... wonderful area, good atmosphere, great food, the pocket won't scream at the end of this affair, and you will go away with a relaxing experience. Enjoy!

During a bit of a pickle in travel I popped in, the staff were very accommodating and let me charge my phone, the selection of on tap drinks is impressive and a cozy atmosphere is always a winner, I'll have to come back to try the food, it looked and smelled great, sadly I didn't have the time today.

Attractive bar and dining room downstairs, with another dining room upstairs that has a balcony with a view of the sea (and off shore windfarm in the distance). Order at the bar. Friendly, accommodating staff bring food to your table. The Coach House has the best Ploughman's pub lunch I've ever found - multiple, high quality cheeses, and Cole slaw salad that's not mostly mayonnaise. Secure wifi.

There are very few pubs left which are independent and run by an ever present Landlord couple. It shows. This is by a long way the best pub in Rottingdean. It boasts an incredible position looking onto the water and great food. Specials are better than the typical pub fare (you don’t expect to be able to order a fresh skate wing on a Tuesday) and there is a strong local following that manages to be vibrant and yet welcoming and not at all cliquey.
