The music is pretty much on point, and the food tidy, my favourite roast is the belly pork or the chicken. Selfishly I prefer it a bit quieter, it does get pretty busy. Speaking of which it pays to pre-order your choice of Sunday lunch as often, even if you get there first thing at 12:00 1 or 2 items are normally already not available. Whether its meat or meat free (veggie or vegan) lunch on a Sunday, you'll probably be wanting to return. #topJob

I was lucky enough to be taken here for lunch by the Yelp duchess of the Sussex Yeoman, Brix H and…read moreher boyfriend The Yeoman is located a very short uphill walk from Brighton station but you may a little difficulty recognising it as the E has fallen off the sign, making it currently the YO MAN! It's quite cozy inside but Brix had booked a table. Despite its proximity to the station, it was a nice relaxing place to chill and chat. It did get busy later with football fans and we vacated our table so that others could eat There was a good varied menu with some ambitious dishes on there. I was warned that the portions size is generous here and you certainly won't go away hungry. You know it's a good menu when it's really difficult to choose I eventually settled on scallops with black pudding and potatoes served on salad including apple. The portion was huge and while the presentation wasn't fine dining and certainly wasn't intended to be fine dining, the combination of flavours was spot on. The scallops were sweet and I appreciated the fact that they had left the coral on - there is so much flavour there. The slightly spicy and deep flavour of the black pudding was the perfect foil and the salad dressing was well judged. Yum This is a pub with a serious kitchen. Recommended!

Inside you are greeted by an impressive selection of wines and ales, enough to please any potential connoisseur. While this isn't exactly something to write home about, the food certainly is. Inside the Yeoman, you won't find reconstituted burgers with a helping of soggy chips. You will instead be given the task of choosing from a weekly menu of locally sourced dishes, combing traditional British cooking with a modern continental influence. This isn't the cheapest lunch you will ever have, but it is possibly the best one you'll find in Brighton. The Yeoman would be more at home in trendy North London, not 20 yards from Brighton station's smoking area. That however, is our gain, and not London's. If you are searching for a warm meal, this pub won't be for you. However, if you really want to try good food, then look no further.

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!

It's quite small and a bit of a squeeze with a pram, but once in we were seated comfortably in the corner. We ordered at the counter but I think the waitress would have come to us, however she thought we were waiting for more people. I went for eggs benedict while my companion went for the veggie Spanish hash. This was offered as a small or large portion. She went for small but there was plenty of food on the plate, the large must have been humungous! My dish was really tasty but one of the muffins was a bit hard on the bottom, giving the impression it was slightly stale. After our lunch, we both had a hot chocolate and chatted away. It was only when the staff started stacking chairs on tables around us that we realised the cafe had actually closed. However, we never felt pressurised to leave which was really nice. Highly recommended for breakfast or lunch.

Not always the easiest task! However the Eddy was the perfect choice. I called up and reserved a table- they were really helpful and gave us a large table right in front of the big TV-perfect. I was even picky and kept changing the time - they were very accomadating. When we got there, it was busy but not crowded- mixed group parents and kids, late 20s crowd, couple of groups of guys watching the football but it was a really relaxed crowd. Atmosphere was good for the match - animated but not rowdy at all. We didnt eat but the mexican natchos lots of people were eating looked great. They've done up the decor and theres lots to look at on the walls and theyve smartened it up a lot. They were playing good music and had the football commentary on too- perfect! The Eddy was a perfect choice for what we wanted and I think i'll come back for more than just football next time.

They have quite a big food menu. A cross between burgers and tapas. I have eaten here quite a few times - usually tend to stick to the tapas style dishes as I like to share. To be honest, it's been pretty hit and miss with the food. Last time I had the squid (which wasn't great) but the polenta chips and white bean hummous were to die for! But as a said, can be very hit and miss. Saying that, that doesn't stop me from coming back here! The staff are all absolutely lovely. On the weekends they have a DJ playing, always gets very busy and has a great atmosphere. The interior is fab! Very Americana. The whole bar is lined with beer bottles, all of which they have sold in the past.

Menu sounded intriguing and we ordered the burger with triple-cooked chips, flank steak and the pig cheeks. Overall the mains were good however I found my burger to resemble McDonald's Big Mac. This may be because they also use a gherkin sauce. We decided to also order dessert which unfortunately was a mistake. Portions and presentation left is disappointed as we ended up paying £10 for them. I can't even recall what my partner ordered. It looked like 3 dollops of Nutella spread with thyme in them. I had the doughnuts which I didn't think were cooked well. Drinks were also a bit pricey in here. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be coming back nor can recommend this place.
