Basketmakers Arms in Brighton and Hove

Los niños reservaron el almuerzo del Día de la Madre aquí y no puedo culparlo. Enormes platos de comida deliciosa y caliente, servicio amable y baños muy limpios. (A menudo algo que defrauda un lugar). La próxima vez que vaya a Brighton a visitar a mi hijo menor me encantaría comer aquí de nuevo.

Pedí dos sarnies tostados con papas fritas, una pinta de Guinness y un refresco de lima. £ 34 . 00 24 libras por las sardinas, 10 libras por las dos bebidas. Estos son los precios de Londres. Probablemente al pan se le mostró la tostadora pero no se le puso, Pub peculiar, pero no garantiza el precio de un aperitivo a la hora del almuerzo. Pobre.

Nos recomendaron este pub por sus platos de pescado. El menú está por encima de la barra, tenían molules, solla, etc, pero nos plomó para el pulpo asado como no se ve a menudo. Este fue el peor plato de pulpo que he tenido, básicamente tener que tragar los pocos trozos pequeños de tentáculos más grandes y apenas poder cortar los tentáculos enteros diminutos porque eran muy duros. Cuando nos preguntaron cómo era la comida, les informamos de esto, lo eliminaron del menú y nos ofrecieron un postre de cortesía. Qué pena que lo esperáramos con tantas ganas

Great food service & atmosphere only negative was lack of space reserved for larger party ordering main meals at lunchtime resulting in some having to use laps to accommodate table space but didn't effect overall experience and would come back just as a smaller party

Si va a cobrar SEVEN POUNDS NINETY peniques por una cerveza (Keller Pils), entonces tal vez no está más allá de su presupuesto gastar 50 peniques en una botella de lejía para los baños de caballeros. Desde hace años se han pegado al cielo de la orina. Si usted tiene el placer de sentarse cerca de las puertas del inodoro, entonces no puede evitar obtener una waft cada vez que alguien abre la puerta... tal delicia cuando usted está a punto de comer una boca llena de comida. Los precios de las bebidas aquí se están convirtiendo tristemente en una broma lo caros que son. Siempre está ocupado, así que ¿qué les importa? £ 7 . 90 por una pinta está bajando los pantalones de los clientes. Lamentablemente, como me encanta este pub, ahora tengo el precio de no estar dispuesto a pagar eso de nuevo.

I came here for lunch with a friend and we spent a glorious afternoon eating our way through all of the small plates enjoying everything put in front of us- the only disappointment was becoming too full to order anything else! The Thursday surf and turf menu was well thought out and deliciously executed, octopus arancini yes please! Freshly baked crab cheese straws and Thai fishcakes with ox cheek jam were as delightful as they sound and the trout pastrami was as delicious as it was clever. The service was great too. Great patter from the gents behind the bar and beautifully crafted treats from the kitchen thank you Basketmakers team 👏👏

One of the "Pubiest" pubs in Brighton, full of character and feels like it's retained that traditional pub vibe - in a good way :) Decent beer selection, the place is usually very lively, probably busier on their live jazz nights (every 1st and 3rd Wednesday IIRC). Secret hint: There are plenty of vintage tin boxes hung on all the walls, have a peek inside and... Well, take it from there 😉

I was recommended to eat fish&chips by Brighton residential. It is so good taste and atmosphere is very fun. I enjoyed all time.

Lovely food in a very central and slightly hidden pub. Great environment and lovely staff. The beer is also very nice and they have local breweries on tap

Stumbled upon this place by accident but loved it, didn't have anything to because we had eaten already but the food did look good and would be going back to try some

Food is getting expensive, outpacing inflation substantially. Food is varied and for the most - well cooked and presented. We had Sunday roast, which was delivered lukewarm 🫤

Sadly the food let the pub down.I had the steak cheese sandwich, it was ice cold the plate felt like it had been in the freezer. I Sent it back to get heated but it came back marginally warmer. A potentially great dish spoiled by disinterested kitchen staff

Lovely Christmas Eve Meal here i had the artichoke soup and truffle with some bread as a side. Very warming and filling and great beer selection.

A lovely Sunday (Christmas) vegetarian roast. Really tasty gravy too.

Best traditional pub in the north laines

Food is excellent, atmosphere is amazing. The selection of beers wine and nuts is extensive and covers a lot of variety. The best night to go is the twice monthly jazz night, really good, low key jazz night. Its small and cozy, so can be difficult to get a table.

Amazing Christmas roasts, so good I went back the following day for more! The pub is old school, traditional charm, the cooking is well executed and the service from Ruben, Scarlett and Jude is the perfect complement.

Nuestro almuerzo de retiro fue recomendado para probar este lugar WOH lo que un hallazgo llegó a mitad de semana a las 12. 30 pm y ya estaba muy ocupado - ES NECESARIO RESERVAR, el menú de Navidad era genial todo el mundo mencionó lo buena que era la comida y los desiertos iban a morir por ! gran relación calidad-precio y el personal era excelente , no volveremos ningún problema. sólo una decepción no sirven café lo que es una verdadera lástima Gracias panaderos por una gran experiencia Jon

I am rating this place as a pub which provides food. Lovely pub with a nice atmosphere and good service. Very cosy. I had a fish pie which was delicious. Nice home cooked food. Nothing fancy but good value.

Beautiful pub with good local beer and great food.

Lovely pub. Only a quick visit for a quick pint at lunchtime, but staff were so welcoming. I will be back. Thank you

One of the best pubs in Brighton - authentic English food and atmosphere, cosy and not pretentious. Great food at modest prices for the city. Amazing Christmas roast turkey in the photo.

Great selection of ales. Full range of Fullers beers on tap nice, friendly bar staff. Ideal pub.

Pub was packed,but the beers they had was brilliant

Good selection of delicious gluten free meals on the menu. The fish and chips are delicious.

Spent several happy hours here enjoying beers with good friends. Lovely friendly pub, good choice of drinks and food. All in a warm and lively atmosphere. Great pub.

Estaba ocupado, pero logró obtener el mejor asiento en la casa junto a la ventana. Teníamos las ostras que eran simplemente divinas tan encantador y fresco. Un par de botellas de efluvio con nuestra red eléctrica todos diferentes y todos excelentes. El personal era maravilloso. Recomiendo probar aquí una gran selección y un montón de ofertas especiales.

Didn't have any food. I visited the pub as I went on a memory lane visit. I had a knee trembler with a woman from Antwerp, Belgium, on my last visit 😳 ten years previously.

Lovely traditional pub serving a wide range of food and drinks with a cosy atmosphere, dog friendly and a perfect place to spend a Sunday afternoon

Awesome place with great pub atmosphere and delicious food and beer. We felt really welcome, service was nice and helpful. We got fish & hand cut chips, chef's pie and pint of Ale. Must visit in Brighton.

Great little pub...been here before in the past...would recommend it as a food venue for sure.... The beer (Fuller's) was well kept if a little pricey....

Fantastic curious pub. Full of character. Good food too.

Lovely atmosphere, lots of real ales and craft beers on tap. Didn't eat there but saw food coming out and it looked nice. Dog friendly

Shame this one has lost some of it’s unique charm to corporate over-reach from Asahi Breweries. Still draws a large contingent of drab university students who have little imagination and are easily entertained by the puerile jokes written on scraps of paper and deposited in tins mounted on the wall. Can’t tell the difference between these lot and the bar staff who are equally drab and one dimensional in their own garb, no uniforms here. Food is excellent and really the only main draw now that the character of the place has been sterilised as before mentioned by Asahi Breweries;- which own Fullers Pubs. Despite this, the atmosphere is still wonderfully convivial and entertaining owing to the massive draw of the pubs reputation: drawing in Londoners and Yorkshiremen alike, and anything in between. It’s a thinking man’s pub, which could be the reason why everyone who is inclined to think, thinks to go there as the alternatives for a quite drink over lunch in a traditional pub are rarer and rarer due to the great draw that Brighton has for all that is ‘alternative’.

I recently visited The Basketmakers Arms in Brighton for a pint, and it was a wonderful experience. The pub has a cozy, traditional feel with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The staff were welcoming and efficient, making sure I felt right at home. I tried one of their real ales, and it was perfectly chilled and full of flavor. The ambiance was great, with a mix of locals and visitors enjoying the relaxed vibe. Whether you’re inside or in the beer garden, it’s a comfortable spot to unwind. Overall, having a pint at The Basketmakers Arms was a delightful experience, and I look forward to my next visit!

Encontré 12 libras por un vaso de Sauvignon que no era nada especial o adecuadamente refrigerado difícil de tragar, juego de palabras. Tomé una copa mucho mejor, más fría del mismo vino y alrededor de £ 3 . más barato en el Dragón Verde cercano. Esperaría pagar estos precios en un bar de vinos, pero no en un pub de la calle. El servicio fue agradable y el pub tiene un buen ambiente, sin embargo no volvería a pedir vino si volvemos aquí.

Old school pub with cask ales and great climate. Aside from typical pub grub you can get a choice of seafood and pies (lamb pie was good; there's also a vegetarian option). The staff is very friendly. More than a decent choice of English ales. The place has a vibe of an old cluttered house, but it fits perfectly.

Pleasant pub culture. The pies are delicious.

One of my favourite pubs in Brighton.

Acabo de tener uno de los mejores asados que he tenido en mucho tiempo. Cordero asado elegido que era absolutamente delicioso. Un montón de verduras, patatas asadas y una enorme Pudín de Yorkshire. El pub estaba muy ocupado pero el servicio era excelente, nada estaba demasiado problema. Definitivamente volveré. Bien hecho a todo el personal.

The way a British pub should be. Decent selection of beers and we had a good meal of fish and chips.

Preciosa comida pre comedia del sábado por la noche para 4 . ¡Ostras para empezar y estaban deliciosas! Mi pareja y yo tuvimos las pajitas de cangrejo para empezar seguido de un pastel de venado encantador. Recomendaría

Sunday roast excellent staff brilliant highly recommended

Enjoyed pints of London Pride. XXX

For a town centre pub this is an absolute gem! Reasonably imaginative and well presented food. The beer is pretty much the best in Brighton - if you get real ale Fullers ESB is pretty much as good as it gets! Overall a pleasant lunchtime…

Gales HSB best beer in Brighton

This is a good pub for many of the sorts of reasons that other people visiting Brighton won't like it so much. We'd tried a more central pub and it was just so loud, the music louder than we could shout over it, that we were looking for a lively pub where we could attempt to talk. It's very far from a quiet pub, it's lively but in a very good way - unless you want dull, in which case don't come to Brighton. It's buzzing but you can hear, the service and choice is good. Obviously it's Brighton, where everything is London prices, but it's not as insanely expensive as some pubs. Tbh - I'd quite like to give it 1 star and a bad review so that it remains a place where there's a chance of getting a seat Thurs through to Sunday. So, don't go - leave it for the rest of us.

One of the best pubs in Brighton. Possibly the best roast in England.

Great atmosphere. Always lovely staff at the bar.

Great pub, atmosphere, service and food. Amazing Sunday roast accompanied with lots of different vegetables. A brilliant place for lunch whilst out exploring the Lanes.

Good little pub, nice lunch all round. Tasty pint of 'Wanna Go To The Sun' pale ale too.

Fantastic food...lovely atmosphere! Thanks for being open on Sunday for roast dinner!!

Really glad we chose The Basketmakers Arms… thoroughly enjoyed the prawn tacos and fish pie. Friendly service and dog friendly too.

Proper old pub. Good selection of ales and lager. Music on but not too loud so you could easily have a conversation. Busy on bank holiday weekend.

How tf was I charged £9.60 for 2 Pepsi's? That's insane.

We were looking for an old place in Brighton and people showed us this place. Everything was fabulous. You should definitely visit

Possibly Brighton's best pub, great selection of beers, fantastic atmosphere. Solid pint of Guinness

Crikey Moses where to begin! The food, in a word, outrageous. I plumped for the pie of the day with a leek mash and my word I’m glad I did. We nipped in on a whim on a Saturday evening as the kitchen was closing and I’m pleased to say we were sated as if they knew we were coming! Charming ambience, delightful staff and perhaps one of the last true great Sussex public houses. A MUST.

Had 3 small plates of delicious, seafood. Great service and highly recommend if you want a proper pub not full of tourists x

One of my favourite Brighton pubs

Good, down-to-earth pub. Great beers and locally sourced fish dishes. Very busy with a good atmosphere, and friendly bar staff. The food was good and tasty. Lots of old tobacco tins etc on the walls where people can write and add little notes.

Pleasant traditional pub with eight ales on the hand pumps. I understand overheads are high but 6.30 for a low abv ale seems quite a lot.

Superb range of ales and amazing food.

Excellent pub Very good Sunday Roast. Perhaps the best I ate in England. Good atmosphere.

A great pub, not on the main street but well worth visiting. We didn't eat on this occasion but the food looked lovely.

Great selection of beers, lots of local brewed bitter on hand-pump. Busy and noisy.

Fantastic make sure you book! Visited here last Sunday was blessed we got there at 1240 as filled up quickly! We were able to secure a table until 2pm Food was fab and service wit a smile! Make sure you book to avoid disappointment!

First time in Brighton on a Sunday so had to go for the Sunday roast. Best roast I’ve had hands down! We tried the chicken, beef and pork and all were outstanding. Cheesy cauliflower was also a winner. Would love a mixed meat option (all roasts) and the ability to add more roast sides- cause the red cabbage was amazing and I needed more :)

What a lovely little pub this is. A real gem, with friendly staff and a good vibe. Great beers on tap. Didn't try the food but what I saw looked good.

Love this traditional old pub in a quite city centre street. It's quirky, cosy, friendly staff and great food. Please keep it forever

Went for lunch on a quiet weekday afternoon and was treated with great service. Excellent food- some of the best fish and chips I’ve ever had, and a steak pie that was outstanding. Must-visit if you are looking for a traditional English meal in Brighton.

Presently suffering from a lack bar staff, one person on Friday lunchtime isn't sufficient

Came for a pre booked Sunday roast with family, as a table ordered one of each roast, the pigs in blankets and some cauliflower cheese. Everybody was happy with their meal. Particularly loved how the pork and beef came with meat cooked two different ways which were all executed well, that was delightful. Sides were very nice. Potatoes a little hard but I realise that can be a luck of the draw situation when kitchens are churning them out all day… they were still nice. Didn’t love the gravy, honestly it had 90’s tinned ravioli sauce vibes, and the roasts came swimming in it which usually I would like but the flavour was weird. The deserts were to die for, though, and the homemade gelato is amazing, especially with the chocolate brownie 😍 Staff were attentive and pleasant 👍 Overall a solid set of roasts! Would return and would recommend.

Top tier pub. Very small. Good beer. Great atmosphere. Never eaten here myself but I have only heard good things.

On Sunday is not easy to have a table without reservations, however they did their best and I was able to have lunch. I had the fish and chips and I must say it was cooked very well, really crunch, along with real potatoes not the standard French fries. In my country we don’t make fish n chips so every time I come to England I try it in different restaurants and pubs and I must say this is one of my favorite.

Proper old lively pub. A rare gem. Often have fish/mussels on the menu. Good beer.

Great place but could teach staff how to make hot 🔥 whisky/port for a customer

Great atmosphere, excellent service and lovely food, must try desserts!

Unspoiled by progress. Nice spot for a pint or two and a homemade burger.

Nice enough basic pub, decent beer, but there are plenty of other good pubs in Brighton, so why this one is 25% more expensive than the competition is a mystery. (Not really - it's a Fuller's house - they're always pricey. But unlike this one they usually have an upmarket vibe to justify it. )

Popped into this wonderfully welcoming pub after a visit to the North Laine area of Brighton. Brilliant place. Staff were great, seemed to genuinely enjoy their jobs and look out for locals and new customers alike. Real, eclectic mix of clientele in there. We didn't have food, but the menu looked good and food coming out looked and smelt wonderful. Beer was great. Plenty of good real ale and cider. Highly recommend.

Nice traditional pub. Bit of a tight squeeze when dining.

Best Sunday lunch going. Be sure to book prior to visiting.

Had a wander around the streets and popped in for lunch not the first time as food is always excellent in there. A couple of bottles of fizz and oysters for starters which were so tasty and lovely and big. Three different main meals all outstanding with wonderful friendly staff.

Buzzing Fullers pub in a quietish mews away from the busy Laines. Some nice outdoor seating, but it does get very busy, especially in good weather. Excellent Fullers ales, including ESB, which is to die for! A bit pricey, but we'll worth it.

Super friendly staff, great beer selection and food to die for. An absolute recommendation.

Lovely, proper little pub, great selection of beers, fair price, good atmosphere, nice part of town.

The best pub in Brighton, bar none. Great food, lovely staff, amazing guiness, well kept cellar.

This is a real Brighton institution, cosy snugs, great beer huge selection, lovely staff and always a story or two to be told or heard. genuinely one of the best pubs in breighton and I've tried a lot of the over the years.

Good local pub in the Herat of Brighton Laines with great & friendly atmosphere

I love this place. The food was great. The beer was great. The crowd was - eccentric.

Traditional pub where they serve good fish & chips accompanied by a draft beer

Charming place, very good food and good variety of beers

Gorgeous pub, amazing beer and beautiful food. Veggie pithivier really, truly worth a visit on it's own! Thank you 😊

Really charming pub with amazing food and a lovely atmosphere!

A true Brighton gem. The staff are exceptional, the food is excellent and the atmosphere is cozy and friendly. Highly recommend, though be prepared for it to be full - it's highly popular with the local regulars.

What a great find, in the back streets of the town, worth finding. Good selection of, well everything, I'm a real ale person, lots to choose from, old style pub, some background music but not loud, lots of chatting people sat at small tables. Food excellent, recommend the fish n chips, locally caught catch of the day, not frozen, with real chops not frozen. It was so good after having lunch there we decided after a couple of hours at the sea front to return for an early evening tipple prior to departure.

It's a lovely pub in a nice secluded part of town, but the service can be very hit and miss. Bar staff should know who is next and not have to ask.

Great food at a reasonable price. A lively pub which is very popular - book a table to guarantee a space. Only drawback is the background noise makes it difficult to hold a conversation.

Absolutely lovely, brightly decorated traditional friendly and inclusive pub with great real ale and friendly staff. A must visit 😁
