Camelford Arms in Brighton and Hove

Especiales eran de gran valor y el personal hizo un esfuerzo adicional. Las comidas estaban muy por encima del nivel de comida del pub. Los precios eran de calidad media muy superior.

Un gran vino blanco y un gran gin tonic £ 22 + absolutamente escandaloso... Legend'd solo dos minutos de distancia £ 6 más barato, la única ventaja era que el joven detrás de la barra era extremadamente agradable y amable, pero no lo suficientemente agradable para que yo vuelva en el corto plazo

Charming pub with brilliant staff and super Sunday roast. The Harvey’s bitter is kept in excellent condition too! Highly recommend!

En general, la comida es buena con algunos especiales imaginativos. Supongo que al mismo precio que sus competidores. Sin embargo, las bebidas son absurdamente más - precio (£ 6. 90 para un lager shandy y £ 25. 40 para un shandy, una pinta de APA y una copa grande de vino de rosa). Estos precios serían altos incluso para los visitantes de Londres. Como era de esperar, el pub tenía principalmente comensales y estaba prácticamente vacío a las 9 pm un sábado por la noche.

Visité Brighton durante 5 días. Hemos comido aquí dos veces y el servicio y la comida excelente. Tenía el chile y los scampi, ambos servidos rápidamente y disfrutaron de ambos. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

Just perfect, in all respects. Food was delicious & plentiful. Ambiance and service, welcoming and comfortable. A place that will stand out in memories of Brighton!

Not as good I expected, sorry … It was more about quantity than quality.. Think it would feed two adults so if you have a huge appetite???

Siempre me ha gustado este pub y llevé amigos allí el sábado temprano por la noche, sin embargo, solo nos alojamos por uno ya que el costo de una pinta de cerveza de barril era ridículo, £ 7. 80 ? ? ! ! ¡Hay caro y luego hay extorsión! Tristemente no volverá

Great little pub! One of the best hot chips I've ever had and the staff are really nice!

Extremely overpriced and empty ,we didn't enjoy that place at all ,there are more reasonably priced and friendly pubs in the area though

Popped in for an early meal before a concert. This is a lovely little pub that serves great traditional pub food. Any time we are down from London we eat here. Definitely recommend this pub

Nice old school pub, didn’t know it was there, we just stumbled across it. Only went for drinks. Not bad prices, decent selection. Staff were all sound. I’ll definitely pop in again.

Spectacular fish and chips, laid back vibes, soul classics playing in the background, welcoming staff. Just super for a weekend dinner

Visited on the Friday and Saturday of pride 2024 this has to be the most organised bar for getting drinks out fast to customers. With the doors operating as a one-way system and the majority of people drinking outside in the street service was easy and quick with the huge amount of staff on the bar I would say probably 10 or 12. I couldn't fault the service here everything flowed very easily. My only issue was the price two double vodka and cokes and one pint of cruise campo came in at £36 pounds. I guess the owners of this place simply make hay when the sun shines. Definitely cashing in on the pride visitors but hey it was worth it Great bar friendly staff really enjoyed my visit.

What a great find! Lovely old pub, friendly service and really good food. Portions are huge, so they could be shared.

A really great pub ..Great food ,atmosphere and I love that the barmaid / owner remembered me even though I'd not been in a few years due to having moved out of the area ..that's fantastic customer service !

This place does pub grub food, but it does it so well that I keep coming back every time I visit Brighton. On this occasion I went for a very late lunch, as my train arrived in Brighton just a few minutes before their last orders for lunch. I had the ribeye steak with chips and peppercorn sauce, it came with onion rings and a salad too. Remember, if you eat there, go when you are hungry, as the portions are huge. I am a big eater, but I do challenge anyone to finish such an enormous portion ( I only left a few leaves of salad though) . I had a pint of Peroni to wash it down, and then was happy. The meat was beautifully cooked, the chips were great, the onion rings were delicious too . Happy days !

PRIDE RIP OFF!!! Drinks in Camelford Arms £25.60. We bought the exact same drinks 30 minutes earlier in The Zone for £15.70. Total rip off! We know where we won't be going for the rest of the weekend!

the food may be very good, but the beer prices are extortionate.

I have always loved the camel ford for the amazing food, all week, which is still great, but I was in there on Friday of bear pride, it's not really the Bar for bears I remember, and when the lady behind the bar recommended I go one of the local Shops as the can of coke I ordered was cheaper, didn't really give the feeling, of being wanted in there,

You get a lot of food for your money. I had to share with someone for mine because I'd never be able to eat it all! The food is really good too, good quality. Not too much of a wait considering how many people there were and we were a table of 6 all ordering on different tickets and ordering different things. Good options for both vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Staff were so friendly. Lovely atomopsher and the other people eating were also very friends. Extremely inclusive place. Been twice and will definitely go again when we are back in Brighton!

Excellent Sunday Roast. Our plates were full of meat and vegetables which were hot fresh and tasty, all served up by our friendly server. Great value for money compared to many other places in the city

Food was very tasty. Staff tried to overcharge me for drinks.

It's a nice pub, however the drinks are ridiculously too expensive, especially for a back street pub. There are small pubs on S St James that are considerably cheaper and just as nice.

A Sunday lunch offered generous portions: the pork and the chicken went down well but the beef rib was thought to be a bit short of meat. The vegetables were pretty good though the potatoes were too large and rather hard. The beers are decidedly expensive: Harvey’s and Amstel both £7.20 a pint; the Sauvignon Blanc was just over £10 for a large glass. The pub has a good atmosphere. Service was top drawer and we were very well looked after.

This is a great pub for food especially Sunday lunch. Staff are fab. You are always welcomed. The knock on effect is you stay for one more pint than you anticipated.

Popped for a late lunch. A great varied food selection, the food was great quality and value for money. Super friendly service.

Great Sunday lunch, really generous portions and a real home cooked taste. Lovely ambience in the pub and the staff were really friendly and helpful too. Would definitely return when I’m next in Brighton.

Everything is overpriced. There's many good pubs that don't charge this much for food and drink .

Nice atmosphere, very helpful staff, lovely food and an all round good pub. Highly recommend and we would go back again.

The food was not edible. I had a steak and ale pie. I took two bites. The gravy that came on the side tasted like salty grease. It was expensive and horrible.

Nice music to listen to on a Sunday afternoon. Cosy pub.

7.20 for a pint of locally brewed bitter is absurd. Not sure if this is the actual price or I was overcharged wrongly but neither is acceptable really. That being said it's a smart pub with a nice atmosphere. At these prices it should be.

Very welcoming place. Our dog loved it! All the people are nice and the food is equally as nice. (Huge also)

Fantastic food. Friendly staff and locals Went on quiz night which was really good fun.

After going in many pubs in Brighton, most of them awful, we stumbled across this absolute gem!! Superb staff, lovely atmosphere, the 'regulars' couldn't be any nicer, seven of us went in and had drinks and a meal off the extensive menu, the food was all home cooked, delicious 😋, and the portions huge, yes the mains are around £18, but that's not bad and you don't mind paying for quality, and to actually leave a pub full these days is a rarity. Would 100% recommend, you will not be disappointed!!

This was the best lunch experience I’ve had in a while! I’m from the Netherlands and visited Brighton for a conference. On Google I saw the good reviews of this place and I had to visit it. The sandwich I ordered was so delicious and the host was so nice. I loved to talk with her and she gave me advice of the best local beers I could try there. Absolutely a must visit if you’re in Brighton! :)

Good place to stop and watch the rugby in Kemptown. Had a nice atmosphere and drinks weren't overly expensive.

Food here is very nice, big portions and a big variety to choose from. Definitely recommend the bangers and mash. Very relaxed atmosphere and LGBT friendly. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Best pub in Brighton. The staff are really friendly . Highly recommended

What a lovely pub! We were looking for a dog friendly pub while staying in Brighton and boy did we hit the jackpot! It was the first time we’ve taken our dog to a pub and she seemed to be very comfortable there! Especially with dog treats readily available and water bowl offered for her and lots of attention paid to her by staff and customers. The staff were so lovely and welcoming and the food…… wow! The menu was fairly extensive for a small pub. The portions were very generous and tasted great! You will not leave hungry, that’s for sure! Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back next time we are in Brighton.

Great pub, although we didn't eat there due to having a big breakfast, the Sunday lunches looked fabulous. I'll definitely return for Sunday lunch.

All very nice. I'd love to come back.

Decided to do Sunday roast here as a group of 9. The food was pretty terrible, the veg was either under, or over cooked... The roast potatoes were at least a day old, possibly more... The beef was stringy, chewy and flavourless... The lamb and chicken were OK, but not fantastic... Big plates, lots of food, but quantity over quality I'm afraid.... Would definitely not recommend

Great food (special Easter menu), great service, very nice place, no complaints

Great food , friendly staff ,nice atmosphere.

I have always been a fan of this great gastro pub until Monday. I have known Maureen for the last decade. I even recommended the food menu to a retired police man on Monday. However, Maureen was so rude to me on Monday I will never visit again. I had taken my fifteen years bullterrier to the Camelford since 2014. Maureen told me a story about her son's bullterrier who was aggressive. My old bullterrier died last December. I adopted a younger dog from adopt a bullterrier rescue last month. Reggie. I took him to the Camelford on Monday. It was empty. Reggie jumped on a table. For a moment, Maureen asked me if I owned the dog. And to get him off the table, of course I did. Very disappointed she had no memory that I have been a frequent customer for the past ten years. And would not allow dogs on a table. I would not bring Reggie to this pub again. He was perfectly behaved after excitedly jumping on the table and charmed the only other customers in the pub. Except Maureen and the group around her. James and Reggie

BEWARE of Over-charging and Flat beer. We were charged £12.50 for a pint of Harveys draught bitter and half lager and lime (Heinekin). Upon questioning the price, the barman was both rude and stand-offish and was not prepared to admit his mistake. Furthermore, the beer was flat. We came into this pub, as we had done the day before, to enjoy a few drinks and to eat. However, by overcharging us by approx £3 we decided not to order our meals here valued at around £48 - their loss! We do not recommend. Time of visit: 5.30pm, 28 Feb 2024.

I could go back for their Sunday roasts every week, there is simply no competition! The beef rib is melt in the mouth and their cauliflower cheese is unbelievable. Make sure you book early!!

I'm so old that I can remember when a lot of things were called something else. Opal Fruits, marathons , dime bar, jif, loads of things that all had a name change. Remember how I'm old? My only reason for years to go up Camelford street would be at 2am after Legends closed, walking up to St James street for when the Bulldog used to be a 24hour weekend venue. Time, my age and changes to my drinking habits mean that these days I don't frequent liscenced premises after dark. Midweek lunchtimes tho, I'm all over that. I don't remember when The Camelford Arms became the Camelford Arms - it's previous incarnation wasn't a regular haunt of mine, but the power of a name change and a firm dedication to the food side of things is a success story unmatched by the previous incarnation or a majority of the current competition. The Camelford Arms is one of my top three Brighton food venues, and the position in that three is usually determined by my lunchtime dining companion. I used to love a pint in a cosy wooden floored pub with burly bears and lumberjack overtones, But todays Camelford Arms is it's own success story and the fact that you are welcome to take dogs in whilst anything human and under 18 is strictly verboten is just a personally pleasing cherry on the top.

Short stay in Brighton and had the best roast we’ve ever had in this welcoming friendly atmosphere pub. Staff were lovely and nothing seemed too much trouble. Doggie friendly too. Highly recommend

Great fun place and you can take your dog

Partner and I stopped here for Sunday lunch, having tried a few years ago thought we would go back. The roasts are Plentiful extremely tasty and worth every penny. Although was busy it didn’t impact the service which was excellent! Staff are a credit to the establishment this is by far the best roast in brighton!

My partner and I booked for Sunday lunch, the best roast for miles! Full of flavour, plentiful, and excellent service as always. We will be back!

Very pleasant but expensive. Friendly staff and welcoming

Served by Emily, I have never met a sweeter, friendlier person behind the bar. Was only my boyfriend and I in the pub at the time but she made the trip to Brighton worth it with her wonderful presence behind the bar, can’t wait to visit here again!

What a great find this pub is. Really friendly, unpretentious pub. Excellent service and probably the best Sunday lunch I've ever had ! Will definitely be recommending and returning soon.

Came for lunch whilst on a new year's day walk along the sea front in Brighton. Stumbled across an absolute gem! The food was amazing! I had the chicken, leek and ham pie with mash, peas and gravy. Portions were big and every part of the meal was absolutely delicious. They have a big varied menu and all the food coming out looked incredible. I wish I lived closer so I could come more often! Really nice atmosphere, proper pub feel and staff were lovely.

Just had lunch was absolutely stunning ! Freshly cooked and amazing service ! Lovely atmosphere with log fires , perfect for a drink and or food

Set back from the front but well well worth looking out, my wife and I went for Sunday roast on NYE and had a lovely meal, had the lamb and my wife the vegetarian wellington, both came beautifully presented hot and well cooked, we were welcomed by all the staff as were our two Westie dogs, a great atmosphere and pleasant surroundings.

I have been with my husband a number of times now and the staff are always very friendly and welcoming. The food is always amazing especially their home made pies. Tonight we had a dessert, which was a Chocolate Orange Torte with posh Vanilla ice cream and it was incredible. Would heartily recommend to anybody to visit. 2023 Update - On this Brighton trip my husband and I have now been twice and the food is still amazing with massive portions. We had Rib Eye steaks on our first visit, and on our second I had a pie and my husband had a cheese and ham Ploughmans.

Literally the best burger I’ve had in a long while. It was pink and juicy and everything you need. We went there for a pub quiz and it was so much fun, actually came last (not intentionally) and got free shots. Such a cozy and family-feeling pub!!

The quality of the food is great. The team is very friendly and really does welcome dogs. My little pug enjoys going. I've never had a bad experience all the times I've went. Thank you.

Had the best roast dinner. Big portions but more importantly good quality ingredients and cooked well. Compliments to the chef. We also tried their homemade steak and Ale pie. It was delicious. Staff were accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable. I would pre book as it gets very busy.

Superb as usual food is amazing

Amazing pub, the food tastes great, portion sizes are generous, good atmosphere, good music, a nice selection of broad games to play, lovely staff, the Camelford arms is an amazing place to go for a meal, or to meet with friends, Unfortunately I can’t give it 5 stars just for the fact of the price of a pint, I paid a whopping £7.40 for a pint of neck oil.

Really nice local pub, very friendly staff, the food is wonderful. All around great experience will definitely go again

Great food and drink,great staff,great atmosphere what more can I say.

It was wonderful to visit the Camelford arms this weekend with our grown up kids. There is always a warm welcome from the staff & their food menu is epic. We ordered drinks first (efficient table service). The Sunday roast menu has something for everyone. We ordered 2 pork, 1 x beef sirloin & I ordered the veggie Wellington. There was SO much food. All the dishes come with roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, roasted beetroot, cabbage, swede & gravy on the side. The food was truly epic.. so very tasty. There were no complaints anywhere. My veggie Wellington was delicious… The Camelford has a great atmosphere. Highly recommended & bring your appetite . BEST Sunday roast in Brighton. A solid 10/10. Thank you CamelfordArms. Wonderful food.

Fave pub in Brighton such a cosy place and staff are lovely

Had another Fantastic Sunday lunch here. Wonderful quality food, very generous portions, brilliantly cooked and great selection of beers. What’s not to like. Also really lovely welcoming staff and a roaring fire. My favourite proper pub when we visit Brighton.

Pub seemed ok but it’s very expensive we popped in for a hot drink (I know it’s a pub but it was on a Sunday late afternoon and cafes were closing) they charged £4.15 for a cup of tea and £2.90 for a draft coke!! In response to the owner (I don’t seem to be able to add another response below there’s) I have the credit card receipt plus I went back to the bar staff to query the amount as felt £7.15 for a tea and half a Diet Coke was expensive so you could ask him if he remembers.

We came for lunch, the food was tasty and abundant, nice place!

Wow ! We popped into the pub as we were staying very close and the weather was quite awful. How lucky we were to stumble across it. We’d both decided to have something light - cheese omelette with chips and a club sandwich with chips. The plates and portions were huge but we both polished off nearly all of it . Beer was nice too

Popped to The Camelford Arms for a Sunday Roast. It was absolutely delicious. Big plate with lots of delicious roast lamb, huge selection of vegetables. Served with a friendly smile. A good glass of wine and lovely ambience. Highly recommend to all

Nice little pub. Didn't eat but food looked good

Lovely environment, dog friendly pub, lovely staff (Emily was particularly amazing) Good veggie options.. Absolutely fantastic roast dinner .. apart from the roast potatoes which were nasty ! However, everything else was perfect so top stars to this place x

We had pre show dinner and drinks here. Totally loved it

It's described as "the sort of pub we'd want to go to ourselves" which was spot on for me. Although the pub was empty I felt completely at home and relaxed. A varied menu, and I tried the special, being baked camambert which came with garlic bread. At £10.90 I was expecting a small portion, but for me it was a belt buster. Washed down with two pints of Sussex Ale I enjoyed a pleasant and relaxing late lunch of a couple of hours.

HUGE portions and very friendly attentive young lady, despite being rushed off her feet, says it all really. 100%

We discovered this gem on a recent trip. At first glance the menu options, which are incredible, look expensive (I spent five minutes saying "how much for X") but they are WELL worth the money. The food was incredible. The sign outside describes it as good, honest grub and that is spot on. It has all the pub staples you'd want; pies, gammon, burgers plus so much more. I had the sharing platter and unbelievably you could choose BOTH meat AND cheese. Super tasty for just under £20 and you got loads as you can see. The pie is described as deep filled and it was. So much tasty meat. The 8oz steakwich was that big my football playing, 6'4" tall 18 year old couldn't finish it. The drink choice was excellent. It's lovely inside the pub too and the wi-fi password is entertaining. We'll be back. So many choices....

Very friendly and charming, with good music.

Went here as I was told it was very good. I've been in hotel and catering for 30+ years I can tell you the only thing that was good was the staff. at 4pm the vegetables looked tired and off colour. the meat was okay, but really at these prices and its pub food you should not cook all your vegetables and make them last for the day. very very poor quality. would I go again (no) whould I recommend (no) there are far better just around the corner. shame for the staff, and nice building.

Not many in so atmosphere was down but the food was excellent very filling. Staff were polite and friendly the pub itself is clean but the gents toilets could do with a bit of a scrub on the urines

Delicious and quite big full English breakfast!

Great place that just keeps giving...always go here when visiting..the atmosphere and service is just soo great

Had Sunday lunch here today with my partner. The lunch was large but totally tasteless. Really disappointed!! Won't be returning. Somebody had actually recommended this place to us!!!! Their taste buds must have a lot to be desired!! Waste of money!!

Best place for real ale in the area at the moment.

Was a drink only, but menu and food others were having, means I will be going back to try

Lovely place but prices a bit on high side compared with nearby locations

The staff was very friendly and the roast was devine. Top marks from me

Inflated prices for pride, but a lot of staff so not too long a wait for service.

The Sunday Roast was lovely but I think the beer was a little bit expensive. It´s my opinion.

It is always a treat to return to Camelford Arms Pub when we visit Brighton. We’ve been there for drinks on a few times I’m previous visit. This time, after a long walk along the seafront, we stopped in for lunch. Mo, behind the bar was so welcoming and friendly. We ordered two traditional pub meals: steak & ale pie and scampi. Both were were incredibly tasty served with probably the best chips I’ve ever had. Washed it down with a pint of cider, that was clean, crisp and sweet. A wonderful compliment to our savory lunch. Extra point for the service, great music and free Wi-Fi. We will be back.

Fantastic pub in Kemptown , great friendly atmosphere with a fantastic menu and great service. Always a great choice when visiting Brighton

First time of having a Sunday Roast. Plentiful, wonderful absolutely brilliant roast. Thank you

Visited with 10 girl friends when away in Brighton for a hen weekend. Lovely little pub, friendly staff and amazing food. Portion sizes huge and really good selection. Definitely worth a visit.

Was visiting for Brighton Pride and ended up here later in the evening, had a good and busy atmosphere with good music.

My daughter and I ate here whilst on a holiday in Brighton - it is over 18’s only though. Fantastic atmosphere, very friendly. The food was absolutely incredible. I had the steak and my daughter had scampi. The steak was huge, cooked to perfection. The...

Disappointed to see extortionate prices over Pride weekend. The only place we visited where we seemed to pay 50% extra. £31 for two double G+T, where most bars charged between £17 and £21 for the same thing. As locals, we will take note for the future, plenty of other bars.
