The pub itself is perfect when there's a bit of a chill as they have an amazing open fire and in the summer and then a huge bees garden for the warmer months. Best of both Worlds!

I've eaten here twice when visiting family in the UK, once last summer and again this year. The…read moreservice and food the first year were very good, definitely 4 star worthy, and had me looking forward to a return visit. Disappointingly it didn't quite meet expectations, hence the 3 overall. Nothing was truly terrible during my second visit, but there were a few areas that I feel could be improved. Although not incredibly expensive, prices are sufficient for me to expect better than average food and service (that said my brother thinks I've been living in the USA too long and my service expectations are too high for the UK...) I ordered a special for the day we visited, topside roast beef with seasonal vegetable accompaniments. The beef was cut rather thick, which is either generous and rustic or, as my grandmother with extensive food service would have said, completely wrong (beef thin, lamb thick, pork in between...) I also would have preferred the meat a little rarer, but despite the apparently longer cooking time it was tender and flavorful. The vegetables were generally good; could perhaps have been cooked a little less for a firmer bite but that's certainly open to a range of preferences. The Yorkshire pudding was overly-crispy for my tastes, and with the gravy already poured (a separate boat would have been nice) was hard to rescue. The one item that was really disappointing though was the courgettes (others in my party with those on there plate agreed). They appeared to have been cooked in an olive with strong vegetal/pungent/sharp/bitter tones to it. It would seem the oil was not hot when it met the courgettes and they have a tendency under such circumstances to soak up oil leaving them tasting rather funky. One wonders if they were taste tested in the kitchen... My wife ordered a risotto of some kind which she felt was lacking salt (unusual for my wife so probably true). Desserts were well received -- didn't have one myself but they looked good and were said to be good and tasty. Service seemed well intentioned but I found it odd that we had all three of the waitresses visit us for different things at various times -- this did not appear to enhance the level of service but rather to leave them all confused as to what stage of the meal we were at. We received multiple queries on things such as whether or not we had ordered drinks, starters, dessert, etc.

The grade-II listed building has a small room and bar at the front, and a large rambling area at the back, with some small 'snug' rooms off that. The decor, as you might expect, it traditional, with low ceilings, a mixture of stone, wooden and carpeted floors, and lots of exposed beams and brick. But its best feature has to be the garden at the rear, which runs alongside a small stream, and is delightful in summer. There's also a separate children's play area. Real ales include Harvey's Sussex Best Bitter, as well as a Fuller's London Pride and HSB. They have an extensive and slightly pricey food menu, but I've not eaten here. There's a large car park, and it's a short walk from the bus stop with an hourly service to and from Brighton.

MEATliquor in Brighton serves amazing burgers in amazing surroundings. I walked and drove past ML…read moremany times before realising that it was in fact a burger place and not a nightclub. I've now experienced it as a restaurant on a number of occasions, I've used their take away service, and I've also used their delivery service (via. Deliveroo) and each time has been spot on. Location: Easy to get to; less than 10 minutes from Brighton Station. They allow dogs if they are well behaved and you need to sit on the high stools by the door. Really handy. Decor: Trendy, comfortable, pleasing on the eye. Service: Excellent; the servers are always ready to recommend their favourites and can answer any questions you have with ease. Time: Probably not somewhere to go if you're in a hurry. But why would you? Food: Their chilli burger is amazing; not too spicy, and super tasty. I had their Christmas special, which is also worth a mention - it had turkey, gravy, stuffing.... the works. Seriously tasty food. I'm not a fan of onion rings but their onion rings are amazing - crunchy, oh so crunchy. They don't travel well, so I wouldn't bother ordering them for a takeaway (probably why they aren't on the delivery menu). Drinks: Their alcoholic (and regular) milkshakes are not to be missed. I tried their salted caramel milkshake recently - delicious. Their cocktail menu is extensive and excellent. Overall - I can't find one bad thing to say about MEATliquor in Brighton. They are welcoming, the food is uber tasty, they serve their burger medium (extra points) and I will continue to visit whenever possible.

The interior is plush and apparently influenced by the Brighton Pavilion. It's quite a small restaurant and the tables can appear quite cramped. For the first half hour, we were the only customers and I could hear the staff chatting away to each other which was a bit uncomfortable, however, the restaurant quickly filled up and was soon buzzing with atmosphere. Graze offer an al la carte or tasting menu. The birthday boy had his eye on the tasting menu and as we had to order for the whole table we didn't want to disappoint. I also decided to accompany him with the wine pairing - what a kind sister I am!! The tasting menu included 7 courses, two of which included an option of two which is a nice touch. Homemade bread in four flavours was offered around repeatedly but I was conscious not to fill up too much! The first course was Jerusalem artichoke soup with smoked hazelnut creme fraiche and hazelnuts crisps. This was paired with a very dry sherry, a little unpalatable on its own, but great in combination with the soup. Second course was a chicken liver parfait with pear and star anise jelly, served with a slice of sweet brioche - rich and delicious. This was served with a sweet Hungarian Tokaji. The others went for a butternut squash option but found it was lacking a little in taste and needed added seasoning. Third up was cauliflower and truffle risotto with chestnuts and Parmesan crisp. Matched with this was a crisp viognier. Next was one of my favourite dishes - beetroot cured salmon, pickled beetroot and beetroot puree, creme fraiche and what tasted like amaretti crumbs. The salmon was so fresh and light and the flavour combinations were exquisite. This was paired with a pinot blanc. For the next course we were offered a choice between halibut and venison. We all went with the venison which was served with polenta, grey chantelles and greens. A very tasty dish served with a light pinot noir. The pre-dessert was a chilled mandarin soup with clove sorbet. Such a fantastic dish I was half way through before I realised I had forgotten to take a picture! This came with a fabulous Pedro Ximenez sherry from the Jerez region of Spain. A much sweeter and nicer sherry than the first, at least for my tastes. The final course was a pear parfait with star anise ice cream and almond crumble, this was served with a sweet dessert wine and was a fine finish to a great meal. The Chef here has Spanish roots and you can certainly feel the Mediterranean influence shining through here. The flavour combinations were great and the presentation was exquisite (somebody has been watching Masterchef!). The service was friendly and efficient and the atmosphere was nice. So close to a five star review, but nothing took my breath away, and a few extras such as amuse bouche would have been appreciated*. *Am I really saying there wasn't enough food here, I certainly didn't leave hungry!!

It's kind of a gone a bit 64 degrees with the tapas style plates but the portions are larger. The recommended 4 each, I think we had three and were stuffed. Highlights included scallops (which were so good we ordered 4 plates worth), pigs cheeks, truffle mac & cheese and blue fillet steak. Everything was amazing. As were deserts. They also sell scooners (3/4 pint) of a great draft. It went down a storms and is now my new fave draft. Service was perfect. Nice and chatty but not too so, and the cream of the crop was when we had to wait a bit for desert they gave us free beers while we waited (it wasn't even that long). Only slight moan was that it did start to get very hot in there. Easy on the heating there chaps. ;0) Check it out, u won't be disappointed! Best meal I've had in years

When we came there were no sun on the outside area, but it slowly came around the corner and stayed until we left. So, a nice place for a couple of hours in the sun, but be quick about it, cause we were not the only ones in for some sun. They also have a rather small menu, I choose the bacon sandwhich. It tasted good, but it was a lot of bread for one person and I missed some vegetables. I had a little cheese on top of it and poured some of their kethup on, not bad actully, despite the fact of veggies lacking and the insane amount of bread. My better half said that his fries were the best he had in Brighton. I did not try them, but he referred to them as crisp and nice. They had some rosemary planted outside, but I dont think that would go too well with my bacon and ketchup, so the plants are still there (even if some green stuff would have been lovely on my sandwhich). The bread was good by the way, but I had to leave more than half of it. Other itmes on the menu looked good as well from what I could tell. They have some wines, some beers and nice coffee as well. From what I saw through the windows, the inside area looked well planned out design wise with wooden tables and chair. Price wise I guess its a little over average, but for a quick meal and a coffee, very manageable. Service was quick and nice. If ever in Brighton again, I would not hesitate to sit here for a couple of hours, sipping some cider and wathing people walk by. (Pardon any errors, English is not my first language).

It's latest reinvention is as Grow 40 and when other lunch spots were full, Grow 40 could offer us a table so we jumped at the chance. We were seated upstairs right at the back which is a very informal area, maybe better suited for coffee as opposed to lunch, but cosy none the less. There were four of us, plus the little man, so it was a bit of a squeeze around the small table, but we managed with a bit of juggling. As is the current fashion, Grow 40 favours local, independent produce, but unlike many other restaurants, they actually grow some of their own produce on their roof garden. Unfortunately, they don't have highchairs which meant it was a little difficult for me to eat my lunch while balancing a inquisitive one year old on my lap. It's quite unusual in family-friendly Brighton to find a restaurant that doesn't cater well for small people, and the lack of facilities was a surprise. I ordered a burger, and I have to say it was one of the best i've had a in a long time. Moist, flavoursome, well seasoned and tasty. The fries were a little salty but were also tasty. My partner had the fish and chips and was also very impressed - the fish was very fresh and not too oily. Our dining companions had the chorizo open sandwich and seemed to enjoy. The staff were friendly and accommodating and the vibe here is nice. I would like to try their breakfast menu as it features both lobster and champagne! They have a private members wine club which sounds intriguing but something I probably won't get to try out for a few years now! My only complaint is the lack of children's facilities. I'm not expecting toys and a kid's menu as it's not that kind of place, but changing facilities and a highchair should be available.
