Fountain Head in Brighton and Hove

Just passing by for catching my train and i had plenty of time so popped in for a punt. It was bit quiet so plenty of seats for us. Nice option for keg beer as i love it. Nice atmosphere through and good friendly service. Hope I’ll be back again when in Brighton.

Great venue! My girlfriend had her birthday here and the staff made it super special!

I have visited the fountain head again (my second visit today). The staff (blonde female) was so helpful and friendly as she helped me select one of their excellent beers from the North Laine brewery in Brighton. A great selection of beers (including Laine) for the craft ale love rs out there.

Round of drinks, in the booths in the glorious sunshine!

Great glossy pics of menu offerings including "some kind of mushroom dish" which dosn't look at all appealing! perhaps it's just a side order for a disillusioned Vegan or poorly snapped pic?DUCK SOUP is off the menu+ fountainhead (may have) changed name???

Loved this place for years. Bar staff now so arrogant and disinterested. Don’t even bother to say thanks. Lots of other lovely Brighton places. Avoid this one.

Three of us went to the Fountain Head for a (vegan) Sunday roast recently, and they were fantastic! We had the steak and ale and the wellington options, and they were all really beautifully presented, absolutely delicious, with fab yorkies and veg too. The vibe is great there - highly recommend!!!

Great relaxed place. Had food and drinks. Friendly service.

I just spent the most wonderful time at the FountainHead. Best service ever- the bartender was caller Fleur and was very helpful and accommodating. I would highly recommend this venue. Great atmosphere, great staff.

Been in brighton two years, and im yet to find a place as welcoming, warm, and light feeling as this!! No brazen overload of obnoxious lights and music, a good sit down to appreciate your time and company :)

Great atmosphere with lots of local beers from Lanes Beer Co. Beers are min. £6 pint but we are in the centre of the city

Nice and spacious pub for Brighton. Good atmosphere

I used to frequent this pub years ago. I thought it had a nice decor previously with the wood effect. I think the pub was done an injustice with the interior design makeover that it received from the Interior Design Masters programme... Really tatty now.

Great little pub and brilliant seating outside. We only had a coffee and only stayed outside but very pleasant ☺️

Cool spot with great food. Nice veggie alternatives as well :)

Bobby and Louis were great. Superb food, and let us have plenty of space for a large dog & a not so large baby! Will be back, thank you.

Bobby & Merle are both warm and friendly bartenders that make it a great atmosphere. Highly recommend the Halloumi and hummus small plate! Plus, the music is always good.

Absolutely banging every time. Their vegan roasts are incredible, gluten free options too. Such a lovely atmosphere and really friendly staff. 😊

Nice little town pub with friendly staff

Really lovely pub, great draft options, friendly staff. Love the decor & cost feel. Didn't eat, but will definitely be back.

Honestly such a pleasant little pub! Banging vegan food, even if you are a meat eater. Great vibes and attentive team!

Popped in just after opening time and ordered the beer battered halloumie and a pint. Found myself a table in a nook. Service was friendly and the food was fantastic. Recommended.

Lovely refurb of this huge pub. We visited after my daughter brilliantly ran the Brighton Half Marathon. We did not know it was a vegetarian only, menu - however as there were 2 veggies in our party, so not a problem. The problem though, was the food. My daughter's boyfriend ordered the Wellington which he said was ok, however the rest of us ordered the 'Shepherds Pie', which could only be described as a SLOP of lentils with a barely visible sweet potato (or something) on the top and served (unbelievably) in a canteen style coffee cup no crispy topping just swilling in gravy in the tiny cup! The roast potatoes were not crispy either.... Everything (apart from the Yorkshire pudding) was soft with no texture to the meal at all. Don't get us started on the toilets - they need a jolly good deep clean. On the plus side, the staff are very friendly and there was a good vibe in this vast pub, with all the Marathon attendees. We eat out a lot and I'm sorry to say that we will not be returning as there needs to be serious attention to detail to food prep presentation and the toilet areas.

Great pub, lovely friendly atmosphere. Staff nice and friendly. i really enjoyed my evening. i will be visiting again ☺️

We came for a roast and it was freaking delicious! We didn’t have to wait long at all everyone was super polite and welcoming! We shall not hesitate to return !

Perfect vibe to catch some restbite from Brightons ice cold wind. Spacious, comfy seating. Great tunes. And the bar staff - Louis (?) and Bobby are probably the friendliest barmen in Sussex. Super welcoming and friendly, funny and considerate. 10/10 would come again.

Excellent food (Sunday roast - Shep pie and Wellington) with very healthy portions and a good kids option. Service and atmosphere perfect for a quiet family visit.

Really nice place and friendly staff but a terrible beer selection

Amazing vegan roast! Meat eaters, don’t be put off!

A lovely pub, great veggie and vegan food, lovely atmosphere with a 90's playlist when I was there! Quick and friendly service.

This central Brighton pub is the place to head for. It stands out amongst all of the many central Brighton options. It’s buzzing, clean, well kept, cozy with a widely stocked bar and a perfect food menu. The decor is tasteful and fresh and there are wood burning stoves which were perfect on this cold winters day. We were there from 2pm and it was busy! What we were impressed by was the friendly and more than efficient chap whom was running the whole place. He was like a machine making sure no-one waited at the bar, the tables were cleared and the fires were kept alive. Nothing was too much trouble and done with a smile and chatter considering his many demands. Hat off to him… a true asset to the place.

Absolutely love coming here for their DELICIOUS vegan roast dinners on a Sunday. Honestly these roasts are the best vegan roast dinners I've ever tried (& I've tried a lot!) Every part of the dinner i.e. veg, potatoes, main etc always has such intense taste/flavour I don't know how the chef does it - incredible. The staff are consistently friendly & accommodating. Specific shout out to Flear & Bobby who are just so pleasant & lovely! Always a great atmosphere in the pub, dog friendly (yay!) Highly recommend visiting here!

We both enjoyed the Sunday chestnut mushroom wellington roast, especially as I’m not vegetarian. Plenty of veg and all really tasty. Lovely Olivia looked after us well. It was a pleasure to eat here and wish we’d had time to stay longer.

Was in town for a couple of weeks and this pub quickly became my go to spot, great beer and very friendly staff (Lily was my fav barkeep). The entire team was quite welcoming and friendly. They also have a great rotation of talented and interesting DJs Overall great pub.

As a frequent customer, the atmosphere is pleasant and the service is exemplar. The bar staff always give good recommendations, namely Josh who made me a good espresso martini the other night. However, they did remove the vegan pizzas from the menu.

had the best time here, kayla was amazing. service was great loved the halloumi burger

Bobby was fab. Music was unexpected.

Great cosy little pub set a bit further back from everywhere else. great on a winters evening and one of the barman is really fit so that's always a bonus. highly recommend Hi Bobby x

Staff couldn't of been more welcoming and friendly. We had a big party and no doubt were pretty rowdy. Thank you guys, we had a great time! The veggie roasts were a hit, even with the carnivores!

What an amazing find!! So glad we stumbled across this place. Bobby was amazing!! Made us feel so welcome fantastic service great atmosphere loved it! Thank you we will defo visit again!

Note! The kitchen doesn't work every day. Check before going. The atmosphere is just between chill and classy, with tasteful decoration and a dog-friendly policy. Mulled wine, mulled cider, and other cider options are all among the best you'll find around Brighton.

Amazing staff!!! Especially Bobby behind the bar definitely deserves a pay rise! Great food and service

Amazing roast dinner in a gorgeous pub

Love this place. It recently appeared on TV for a refurb, and it definitely has a unique style. The beer is always great ( and cask available 🎉). Great atmosphere and nice surroundings. I don't think I have ever not found a table, which is strange considering how popular it is

Lovely place, friendly staff. Cozy on a cool evening. One let down, toilets! Need a good deep clean and maybe redecoration.

Great pub and friendly staff and beer and food.

Went here for the vegan roast and it was the best roast I've had in Brighton. The mushroom wellington was incredible, potatoes were crispy, and it's always a huge bonus to get a vegan Yorkshire pudding. Great attention to detail and generous portions. The deep fried oreos were delicious- similar to churros and a good amount for the price. Staff were lovely and professional, and the alt 90s music was on point. 10/10 🙌

Such a great pub. The relaxed, friendly staff create a real welcome and it looks great too! Great place to come if you have children and a dog.

Delicious food. In particular we loved the halloumi in honey glaze. Amazing presentation. Great service too. Will definitely return.

Lovely staff and a buzzy atmosphere! The music & food were banging too!

Don’t go in expecting that they will honour drinks on the online menu. We ordered a cocktail that was (and I still is…) present on the online menu, but was then charged £18 for it - not being told the price until I was tapping my card. I asked why the price was so high and was told “it’s because it’s not on our menu, so I needed to price up the individual components separately”, followed by “yeah I probably should have told you, sorry”. I said that it was on the menu online but apparently that doesn’t matter?? Barely apologetic, terrible service. Addition: Now I’ve had a response indicating that my review is misleading as the £18 was for 1 cocktail and 1 pint.. wrong. In total I was charged just short of £24 for both drinks. I was also NEVER told that it is not on the menu until I complained. Appalling response from the venue - train your staff properly.

Great quiz,stunning staff, loved it. Will definately be returning Really friendly staff literally had a great night x

Nice atmosphere, good music, wide selection of drinks. The barstaff are also super friendly.

Lovely cosy pub, amazing food and drinks- very reasonably priced. Staff were lovely and welcoming. Would recommend!!

Fantastic place god vibes. Great beers and shots

Very friendly staff & a good selection of beers Only 1 TV & not a sports oriented pub but that said the TV is large & a nice atmosphere. You could reserve a table right in front of TV if you wanted to ensure you get a good view.

Me, my partner and a few pals had been on a little beer crawl and decided to pop into the Fountain Head. Love the look of the place. It was a nice sunny day so we sat outside. It was strangely quiet but we had a nice - and fairly priced - few beers. I am sure it was probably just a quiet day and I'm sure this place is usually booming as the lady who served me was friendly and welcoming. We will visit again. Thanks for a nice time.

We stopped by the Fountain Head for early afternoon drinks on Saturday & were the first people in there. Really nice laid back atmosphere, great music & attentive bar staff. It was lovely for a while & then a number of families turned up with noisy small children. The running around the tables (by the small children) was not very conducive to a nice relaxing drink, so it was time to go. Great pub though.

Came for lunch last Friday , they do small plates, 3 for £16. We had the chorizo in red wine and red onion reduction. The Halloumi fries and the salt and pepper squid. All tasty and good portions . Great service to

Love this pub! Great drink selection and amazing food, staff are lovely too. Booths outside are great for central town summer drinks. Will be back!

This is a really cosy pub, and I love the atmosphere. Food was also excellent. I thought the drinks were reasonably priced. My only comment was that a couple of the staff at the beginning were a little abrupt/frosty. But they did seem to cheer up a bit so maybe something had just happened. Either way great pub in Brighton.

Love the pub. Will certainly go back again. The Interior Design Master’s team from the TV show have done a great job especially the bar which looks amazing. Great place to get some Gelato. Lots of seats inside and a friendly service.

Called in on way home, unattentive staff, poor products, G&T served in a basic glass. No coffee. The gents toilets were grim. Check out the slime in the Dyson hand dryer. Dozens of better pubs to choose from.

Noisy and the wasn't great for me. However, it was on a Saturday bank holiday. One of the staff members told me off for using the wrong side of the bar. I had to remind myself that I was a paying customer. But if you like pubs that have been on TV, then go for it. We won't rush to go back.

Great atmosphere shame there were no real ales but still well worth a visit

Went to this bar having seen it featured in Interior Design Masters. Did not disappoint!

Happy hour was on (weds 5.30pm) so we got a good price on a gin and tonic! Nice to see the Interior design Masters makeover but it already looks a bit tired...🫥 and the toilets could do with some tlc!

Great pub which has recently been featured on Interior Design Masters. Looks great and a good atmosphere inside.

Good space, quiet when we were in at mid afternoon..and out of real beer ( though end of Bank Holiday weekend so benefit of the doubt and only one star docked)

Decent beer and sit outside in nice booths

Great atmosphere. Had live music which we enjoyed. Friendly staff.

Very good ambience and food. Great staff. Centrally located as well. Worth for evening hangout with friends and family.

Great cozy pub, perfect for a few drinks. We also had the Flower Power pizza here which was divine!!!! 10/10!

Expensive food but otherwise a solid option for a quiet drink

First time of eating here, was Lovely. Main was Great, prob the best Bolognese I have eaten. Dessert was not my thing didn't enjoy it, but Main was Great. Service was good, Our waiter was very attentive. Would def go back

We visited for an evening meal and as always the standard was great. Food was good, service was excellent, couldn't ask for more.

Good pub with good atmosphere. Shows sports. Quick service and dogs welcome.

Went for a roast, had pork and veggie wellington. The food was amazing and the staff were great. 10/10 klunk Nice cosy pub. Would definately go again!

Always a brilliant vibe and friendly place to be.

Was meeting some family in Brighton going out for lunch .Some where running late so nipped in here for a drink while we waited. Lovely staff behind bar very attentive. Seating was really comfortable plenty of room nicely decorated very clean.When the rest of are group turned up we landed up staying and eating from there plant based menu .The pizzas are massive really tasty freshly cooked lovely thin base . We all enjoyed the food even the meat eaters .

The Flower Power Pizza here was absolutely sensational. We had two vegan pizza's, both with half and half toppings so essentially was 4 amazing pizza's. The sides were out of this world, and an amazing price. Very happy, and can't wait to return when I come back down to Brighton!

Cosy & friendly pub that serve the best vegan pizza ever, and do a fabulous sunday roast too.

Warm and cosy, pleasant atmosphere and staff.

Amazing vegan food, friendliest staff, good selection of beers and a lovely place to go! The hidden gem of Brighton!

Really nice vibe.. live music tonight.. super friendly staff

Lovely atmosphere and great craft beers. The DJ played fine tunes.

This is a really cosy pub, and I love the atmosphere. Food was also excellent. I thought the drinks were reasonably priced. My only comment was that a couple of the staff at the beginning were a little abrupt/frosty. But they did seem to cheer up a bit so maybe something had just happened. Either way great pub in Brighton.

Nice atmosphere, good service, good range of drinks. Food was disappointing

Lovely staff and amazing Pizza from the guys at Flower Power Pizza! Will be returning soon to have the rest of their menu 😋

Such a brilliant atmosphere in the pub. The vegan pizza and sides were incredible, defiantly the best I’ve ever eaten. There was a great DJ and the service was very good. Will be returning soon for sure.

Visited the fountain head the other day and had an amazing experience. I’m not a vegan but absolutely loved the vegan Flower Power pizza!!! Can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu.

Had a night out recently without the kids and really enjoyed the atmosphere and food. Thumbs up to the chef who cooked my pizza to perfection. An excellent variety of toppings and easy on the wallet too. A great night out all round

Saw Flower Power Pizza is now at Fountain Head and had to come down. Great evening all round and looking forward to coming back soon for the bottomless brunch! 🥂🍕

Amazing food and atmosphere. You must try the sharer platter vegan pizza. First class service, great atmosphere.

Amazing vegan food tonight, great pizza and sides. Best pizza ever, must give it a try.

Visited with my boyfriend recently and this place is gorgeous. The entire place has been refurbished and the atmosphere is beautiful. Bobby, the bar man, was brilliant, so helpful and hilarious. We had such a good time here. Highly recommend

Pěkná restaurace a milá obsluha.

"The Fountain Head is a spacious, warm and relaxing city-centre pub. Lovely place to spend time, and the Beyond Meat burger menu by Halo burgers offers the chance to eat sin-free." Full writeup and more on the blog site

I really like this pub! Been here a few times and always very nice, friendly bar staff

Very nice ! Tried my first vegan burger and it wasn't bad !
