Took 7 years to get back to Bedford tavern, but a must for a visit to Brighton. We have had a brilliant day here. Wonderful staff and our type of people, the fun type or they let me sing along. Thank you Adam and staff. We won't leave it as long until our next visit.

This is such a happy, fun loving place, staff and customers so welcoming. Normally a night to remember when you visit!! Drinks are reasonably priced as well. We have had Sunday Dinner on previous occasions and this is fairly priced, delicious and more than enough to get you through the day 😊

What a great find . Fun unlimited. Adam the manager(?) is extraordinarily good at his job. Snow White,the drag act , was one of the best I've ever seen. The supporting staff did a great job ensuring everyone was having a fantastic time. The food was so good . We will definitely be back and will recommend it to all our friends. Thanks for a perfect afternoon and night. Regards Gerrard & EVE (Lincolnshire)

Love the bar staff here. Beers were good but I was confused about the entertainment. Was it on or wasn’t it and it really got late. There was very few in the pub and time was moving. Didn’t look like a cabaret crowd the few in there. Shame really as I was up for it. Left to go elsewhere.

Unfortunately, the service leaves a lot to be desired, I arrived at 15:40 and was told that I could only order food at 16:00. Then at 4:00 p.m. I was told that orders for food are made from 5:00 p.m., given that at 3:50 p.m. two customers received food. DISAPPOINTING!!!!!

I called in here with a friend to try their sunday roast. They were a bit late setting up and had no menus immediately available. Beet was excellent. The cook came out to take out order. we went for the lamb. It was presented rather unuasually in Tamakin form. After my initial surprise, I rucked in and was pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent and plentiful. Will definately return

A friendly pub on a side street off the main drag. Has an old school boozer feel to it and has a nice vibe and crowd. The drinks were a tad on the pricy side for a backstreet pub though. I hear Ruffles is a great laugh too when she’s performing.

The best "back street boozer" in Brighton. A fantastic, eclectic crowd and a sense that by walking through the door you've become a local. High quality and reasonably priced roast on Sundays. Lunch is followed by drag bingo from 6, which presents a real threat of making Monday mornings unintentionally difficult.

The Sunday roast looked delicious so I wished we had booked to eat there too.

The Sunday lunch was fab and to say we had the best time is an understatement! The locals chatted to us and the host Adam was amazing. We got there at 3pm and left around 10.30pm (after running up a huge bar bill) because we were having such a great time. Piano Bingo was new to me and the best fun!

After a long cycle from London to Brighton, we were looking for a place to have a quiet drink before getting food and crashing out early on a Sunday evening. Walking into the first pub we saw, we were greeted by the rilliant staff before even realising we walked into a piano bingo night! The bar staff were friendly and welcoming and the pub has loads of atmosphere. There was a great mix of regulars and newcomers and we ended up staying much later than we should have! A great place, with good beer and an even better atmosphere!
