Lovely setting outside under some trees. Perfect for a lazy sunny lunch…read more Food was ok. Nothing stand out unfortunately. We had the fish and chips and steak, king prawn and squid dishes. The fish and chips were average at best. The triple cooked chips were hit and miss, some perfect and others hard in the center like day old roast potatoes. The fish was slightly overcooked and the batter was ok, below average from other fish and chips we've had. The steak was cooked as ordered but again pretty average tasting, the prawns were not the freshest and the squid was delicious. Doubt we'll be back

TLDR; I loved this place and dream about the signature beef Wellington…read more This place was omg mouthwatering. We stumbled into this place after a day of wandering around at the royal pavilion. It was not yet 5pm on a Wednesday evening. The guy at the bar asked if we had reservations, which we did not but they did have space to accommodate us. Now you may be wondering about the food. I can confidently say that this beef Wellington was one of the best I've ever had in my life. It takes 30 min for them to make it but it's well worth the wait. I've been to Gordon Ramsay's in Vegas. I've dined in Michelin restaurants. This was better. The filet was melt in your mouth perfect medium rare with a great wine sauce. The puff pastry and mushroom layers complimented it so well and if you can see that technique, no air bubbles between the meat and the pastry. Service was good. I'd come here again just for the beef Wellington.

It was delicious full of flavour perfectly cooked eggs, sautéed potatoes delicious grilled tomatoes, mushrooms beautiful fresh chewy white toast etc! My wife was equally impressed with her meat option. All in all a great surprise and start to the day. Check it out!

I spotted that nice working fireplace that at the time needed attention, but by the looks of it, the staff are always on top of it. The ambience was peaceful, retro music was playing. I was glad I went in on a quiet time. There seemed to be plenty of seating indoors and upstairs. They can hold functions as there was one at the time. It wasn't a bother to me as they were across the room. I go to and fro this road and I know it can be busy in the evenings. Must try it at some point.

The Ginger Dog is the latest in the ever expanding line of 'Ginger' restaurants in the Brighton…read morearea. The menu specialises in traditional pub food with a gastronomic twist and it certainly didn't disapoint on my first visit. I went with high expectations due to the fact that the Ginger Pig is one of my favourite local restaurants and they didn't let me down. The place has a cosy pub feel with open fires and a well stocked bar with local ales, good wines and a large selection of whiskeys. It is also currently serving mulled wine which is a particular treat when the snow is on the ground. The decor is funky as well as cozy and the staff were very friendly and knowledgable, willing to offer advise when needed. At lunch time they serve a full munu plus a special lunch menu offering two courses for £10 - a great bargin for the quality of the food. On this occasion I went for the full menu - Morrocan spiced lamb pie with cumin carrots and raita for main course, and a Baileys bread and butter pudding with chocolate and cranberry ice cream for pud - both were delicious. My friend had pork belly followed by chocolate brownie knicker bocker glory. They change the menu on a regular basis and I will definitely be going back soon to work my way through the many tasty offerings. Highly recommended!!

The menu is meat centric and has lots of South African flavored options but there are vegetarian choices. Service is really good and the beer is cold and refreshing. The dessert menu is a MUST read - with over 10 options of ever increasing yummiest (so save room!). The restaurant is split between dinner tables and traditional pub tables so you could "just" pop in for a drink (but with the quality of food on offer - why would you lol). The outside area has a kids playground and plenty of tables for when the sun shines.

We arrived with our dog and although they don't allow her in the actual restaurant, we were able to sit in the bar area and order food from there. It was a very busy day, yet the bar staff served us quickly and even had the chance for a friendly chat with us. We ordered biltong (dry-cured meat) and boerewors (a type of sausage) as starters and then I had the minced Rump burger, whereas my other half ordered the chicken roulade. All of the items were quite tasty and I do applaud the management on that. Nevertheless, I didn't really like the atmosphere at the Percy Arms. To me, it was really too "done up" - it didn't feel real in there...I didn't feel comfortable. The pub looks quite old from the outside, but the inside doesn't reflect this at all.
