The staff are really friendly and won't tolerate any riff-raff which is always nice to know. The Harvey's is well kept and they have plenty of lagers on tap too. I only had a ham sandwich here but it was served on nice thick crusty bread and was jolly enjoyable. The menu looked fantastic so I'm definitely going to try their roast next time I go back. Great pub!

If you are a craft beer lover this is the place for you. They have always a wide selection of tasty…read moreand interesting craft beers and they often offer you small samples before you decide what you want to order. I have tried the cheese & bacon burger and the lentil & goat cheese burger. Both were good but not fantastic. The decor is a bit too minimalistic for my taste. I give them five stars because I love trying new craft beers and this is the number 1 beer place in Brighton!

This is for sure going to be my new favourite beer spot…read more Great beer. Cool decor. Dog friendly.... I literally couldn't ask for more. Although, their bacon dusted chips don't exactly harm their rating either... I've been meaning to try this place for such a long time and I am so glad I got the chance to!! I met a fellow Yelper here (to recommend all the best choices) as well as some of her friends and I was just delighted at every step, really. Firstly, the design of this place is magic. Somehow they're cool but casual - edgy but familiar at the same time. Everything looks great and it's slick and modern, but there's a comfortable charm about the place as well which reeks of an old, local pub. It's a wonderful combination and it works effortlessly. Secondly, the beer. They have every kind of beer, at every percentage and (most helpfully) they have friendly and knowledgable staff to help you find your perfect match. They don't even correct you when you order a 'Number 1' instead of an 'N1', which shows their kindness! :P Being an utter craft beer newbie, this was a great experience and there is definitely going to be a beer here for you, regardless of your taste. Thirdly, the food!! I had bacon dusted chips. Yes, you heard me! Bacon dust. As in, 100% bacon. Made into dust. It was an odd concoction but a tasty one nonetheless and if you're in the mood for chips but don't fancy being boring this is a great option! The chips themselves were fab - crispy and perfect! Lastly, they allow dogs in here, which (for a dog lover/owner) is the cherry on top, really!! Overall, this place is a true gem. It feels like it's well run and has been well thought out. It's certainly going to be well loved by me and Bramble, that's for sue, as I guarantee I will be back to try more of their wonderful beers!!

It's dog friendly so that's great for many locals and anyone taking a trip away with a dog.

Very nice local pub with a 'hidden' beer garden at the rear…read more Situated on the steeply sloping Guildford Street, it's actually very close to Brighton railway station. The interior comprises an 'L'-shaped bar, and is traditional, with lots of wood, dark green painted walls and cigar-brown ceilings. As well as lots of naval pictures there are lots of posters for live bands all over Brighton. They serve up to 4 real ales, well kept and well served. One ale we ordered was from a new barrel, and still a little bit cloudy and very 'bright'. The very helpful barmaid offered to pull another pint if it wasn't up to scratch. This is so much better than your average run of the mill experience it gets 5 stars for that alone. They serve food at lunchtimes and evenings, and Saturday and Sunday lunchtime and early afternoon. I've not eaten there yet, but I will at some point. The clientele seem to come from a very wide mix of Brighton types, from students to middle-aged, straight, gay, etc.

The Battle of Trafalgar is one of those pubs that you love more and more as you spend lots of time…read morethere. The pub is tucked up above the station although it has a giant maritime sign so it is easy to find! I've been here a couple of times because I have a few friends who love it. I have to admit that I'm not sure why they love it so enthusiastically but I can see that it is a lovely pub and that it grows on you. The inside is actually pretty small and I think that enhances the feel that the more you go, the more you become part of a sort of club- the Battle fanclub! The beers and ales are excellent, as are the bar snacks. The whole place has the atmosphere of a serious pub for regulars and it seems to appeal to a professional (and largely male crowd) that like the straighforwardness of it- a familiar port in a storm.

Very disappointing. Considering they're charging top whack for food, you expect something hearty,…read morewholesome and well cooked. My wife ordered the 'home-made' salmon fishcakes (who are you trying to fool?) and they were served stone cold inside. After they had been popped back in the microwave, they really didn't taste very good or particularly fresh. The 'salad' was drenched in some dressing that we didn't really want, and the chips were soaking with fat. Pleasant enough pub, but for £30 for 2 lunches, a draught cider and a juice, we feel pretty hard done by, and wouldn't even dream of returning...

Several of us had the steak, mushroom and Guiness pie, which was very good with plenty of pieces of steak. This is highly recommended. In contrast, the steak and kidney pudding was rather disappointing, with very little steak in it. Apart from that, all of us were very happy with our food. If you are looking for a pub which serves good pub grub the Holmbush is one for you.

Great pub grub that doesn't cost the earth and all is home prepared. They have a nice big garden here too to enjoy a nice long lunch in!
