Hangleton Manor Pub & Restaurant, Hove in Brighton and Hove

Lovely old manor house. Burger n pie both excellent, great service, good selection of drinks, review updated Feb 23 :) Burger still awesome Oct23. Also, Sunday lunch is really good imo 👍 Lovely in the beer garden in the sun. Doggo happily roaming n making friends in safe environment :)

Went Boxing Day. Staff were great but frustrating that every time we put in an order you came back saying you had run out of that food offered on the menu…even down to cream! Disappointing experience during a peak time when you’d think you’d be fully stocked up over the festive period!

This was our annual Christmas Eve meal out, and the only time we get together as a family over the holiday. We pre-booked the 'Celebration Menu'. We enjoyed ourselves because we were together as a family. However. I had a few questions in advance, including re the kids pre-orders (I could not find a menu for them online). I left messages by phone, emailed and messaged via our booking portal but no one replied to me, so in the end I had to travel to HM on Christmas Eve morning to speak to someone in person. I was told then that the kids could order when we arrived later, from the normal menu. On arrival there were no crackers, hats, Christmassy napkins or anything 'celebratory' on the table - this has always been a nice touch at other places we have eaten on Christmas Eve in the past. We waited nearly 40 mins before going to find someone to ask if we could order drinks. I then asked if we could order the kids' food, we were told the adult starters were ready to be served, so the kids food would have to come out later. There were no starters available to the kids anyway. Most of the kids' main courses from the normal menu were sold out. They were not made to feel part of the Christmas dinner experience at all, as they have been elsewhere on previous years. The adult food we had pre-ordered was literally awful. In particular the Christmas turkey roast - the turkey was inedible (reminded me of processed school dinner turkey), two small and very dry potatoes, one shrivelled parsnip, two tiny shrivelled black carrots (looked like a hairpin on my plate), a very small portion of peas with cabbage, a small dried up yorkshire pudding. Watery gravy. No trimmings (stuffing, pigs in blankets etc) and no sauces (bread sauce, cranberry sauce etc). The presentation of all the food was awful, all just slapped on the plate or dumped in bowls. The main course portion sizes were smaller than the kids' meals. The hot food was all served cold. We all left hungry. No one wanted to ruin our family Christmas get together by complaining, or to cause problems for our young servers (who were all very sweet and doing their best), we all laughed and got on with it and paid our way at the end, and left our servers a nice Christmas tip. It was pretty gutting though, especially for me as the organiser. The food would have been an embarrassment on any day, let alone for a special Christmas meal. The only saving grace for this experience were the young kids serving us, who smiled and helped and did everything as well as they could (whilst rushed off their feet). So sad that this once-lovely place has gone so far down hill.

Visited Christmas Day to enjoy a Christmas dinner with my family. There was a lovely atmosphere. The staff where amazing, friendly, cheerful and very attentive. Unfortunately the food really wasn’t that great. The Yorkshire and potatoes where very over cooked, the carrots where hard and the gravy was very watery. When my pudding arrived the ice cream had already completely melted. With it being Christmas Day I didn’t want to say anything as was very grateful that we had the opportunity to dine out, but for the amount it cost I was disappointed.

What a disappointment . We were there 4 years ago and Sri r up from Devin today for a small celebration.. stagf were very attentive but inexperienced .. they could not offer 3 main dishes in the menu then served up s as fish pie that looked more like a thin layer of new potatoes ! Such a shame as a very nice venue .

Myself and 3 friends ate their today , fantastic food, and lovely friendly staff very accommodating. Will definitely be back.

The service was amazing, great food and drinks with friendly staff and the pub looks so nice from the inside. Giving it 5 stars and a solid 10 out of 10. Highly recommended if you visit the Hangleton area in Brighton & Hove. 👍👍👌👌

Sept 2024 • solo I have multiple sclerosis and am blind, I was with my dog. A manager came up to me, told me I was INTOXICATED?? And told me several times I am intoxicated!!!!! When I said I wasn't This man kept repeating himself, and I will not be served. I was NOT drunk I am disabled and blind!!! I am going to raise this matter further. Absolutely disgusted with this place. Have been really upset for last 48 hours over the situation. I just walked straight out with my dog. And the manager was right up against my face, really close, like he was going to head butt me!!!! And the manager is called "REECE", confirmed by an area manager.

Just popped in (04/12/2024) for a couple of lemonades and a sandwich. Due to my debit card being cloned I’ve had to cancel mine. I don’t carry a credit card any longer. The establishment wouldn’t accept Amex and I repeatedly offered to bank transfer / PAYM as I have the money in my account just not a card. I am a delivery driver and clearly not a regular. I’m a working man who makes a habit of popping into places like this as passing trade. Not today; really disappointed in the attitude of this place and I certainly won’t have anything nice to say about Hove. Shame on you, I’ll live albeit hungry but I’ll live. You will always be not very welcoming to strangers / passing trade.

Nice garden, beer, staff, good, atmosphere. The gift vouchers are really nice quality. Loved the apple tart with ice cream. Very appley and tasty pastry

Great Sunday Roast. We were a party of 14 and the service was very attentive and friendly. Family atmosphere. Food was better than a more expensive pub in the South Downs recently visited.

We went for a Ladies Lunch served by Liam, he was amazing, great service, brilliant sense of humour, definitely be back again, hope he serves us, fantastic customer service A asset to The Manor .

Came here last week, spoke to a bloke named Liam. Top lad, provided excellent customer service and had great banter. Will be visiting again soon.

Been a few times to Hangleton Manor now and we have enjoyed every visit. Good food at good prices.

I’m not quite sure what’s been happening recently but this place USED to be lovely and is now shockingly bad. The last time I went there with 3 family members for some lunch and a few soft drinks. We asked if they had a gluten free meal and a very rude manager said “I don’t know, google if sandwiches have gluten in” and charged us far too much for our drinks. They proceeded to bring out food in drips and drabs to the rest of the people at the table, while I had to go and buy my own sandwich elsewhere!!! When I came back, there was a cat on the table which clearly had a flea problem and was annoying everyone at the bar area. When I finally got rid of the cat (which I was allergic to), a bar maid picked it up, and put it back onto the neighbouring table and started to introduce it back to the bar guests, before serving another person a drink!! We were disgusted and hungry!! Not going here again until there is another manager.

First time visitor another place I want to keep secret. Met lovely Ellie, a friend from another venue. Ben was very attentive, great service. Tim from Chirpee Flowers

Hangleton Manor is a hidden gem in Brighton and Hove, offering a blend of rich history and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The building itself is stunning, with its Tudor architecture and preserved stone walls, giving an authentic sense of stepping back in time. The standout for us, though, was the exceptional service from our server, Terry. Terry was attentive without hovering, making great recommendations, and genuinely making us feel at home. Her friendly demeanor added a lot to the overall experience, making it memorable and enjoyable. If you’re in the area and appreciate good food, a historical setting, and fantastic service, Hangleton Manor is worth a visit.

Food is amazing, service is slow but it’s popular and quality of food makes up for it, really cool local pub, good atmosphere perfect playing area area for kids and dogs, pet friendly restaurant and has a cool history to learn about.

Lían is the best, all the stuff were very kind and helpful.

Liam was great. Everything was good other than an accidental drinks spillage on my brother's birthday card.

Amazing bar staff, especially Liam

Liam was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about your menu and drinks, credit to your establishment.

Since moving to a house in a road a half mile or so away 7 years ago, we have visited several times. Today (Sat 2nd Nov 2024) was probably our favourite. We arrived approx 5:30, easy to park and were welcomed almost straight away. We sat at a table in the corner of the restaurant area which was clean and tidy. We were served pretty quickly. We had 3 courses. The range on offer on the menu was terrific. Everything we ate was delicious. The staff who waited on us were excellent in terms of politeness and attention in terms of ensuring what we ordered was what we were given. We were told that the menu has only been available in its current form for 3 weeks or so. It's a far cry from some we have seen before. The beer and wine we chose was excellent too. We also thought that the pricing throughout the menu was very competitive and the total we paid vindicative of our experience.

Came in on Halloween for a quick drink after being out with the kids. We were greeted by a wonderful team on the bar, everyone was dressed up in costume and all had a very positive attitude and smiles despite it being so busy! We were served by Kate who made an extra effort to make us feel welcome by asking us about our day and costumes! Will definitely be back😊

Absolutely charming spot with a beautiful medieval atmosphere and fantastic staff! I had the pleasure of meeting Teri, who went above and beyond to make my visit enjoyable. She was incredibly helpful, friendly, and welcoming. Highly recommend stopping by!

Recently went here to have a few drinks and hopefully some food. I luckily got served by a young woman called Teri, who when I asked about the vegan options was very patient and took the time to explain the options and prep. In the end had a lovely time, and made my experience there a lot more relaxing. Can't wait to dine there again soon. (Thanks again Teri for the calming, amazing service!! :)

Great time had at the manor meeting friends! Bar staff are great, Cate was amazing! Thank you so much

Beautiful venue Cold pints And friendly staff , we were served by a young lad named Ollie who was very helpful and charming will be coming back just for his great attitude

Had a lovely time here, was served by Ollie who was a great bartender who really knew his stuff

Great service by Cate today. Speedy and great smile

Amazing afternoon out! Food, staff and drinks were spot on! The beer garden looks like it will be a very nice place to spend a summers afternoon, but there's a few months left until that!

Great service! The team was lovely and welcoming and the service was quick. Will definitely be back 😊

Popped into Hangleton Manor on the spur of the moment. We sat down, ordered our food and within 10 minutes it was on the table piping hot. The staff are fantastic, the atmosphere of the manor is great and I would highly recommend this place. We will definitely be coming back.

Odd sort of place, service was a bit slow but staff very friendly. Food was ok, steak tasted good but tough as boots. Good beers on offer.

Visited for Sunday lunch and roast with friends. Great pub with an inviting atmosphere & Reece went above and beyond to ensure we have a memorable experience, look forward to visiting again soon.

Fantastic place to get drunk and eat good food, staff are very friendly and possibly deserve a pay rise after having to deal with me for a few months

Came to take advantage of the Wednesday burger offer and I’m glad I did. Sat in the sunny garden which was sheltered from the wind and thoroughly enjoyed the burger and a pint of the excellent Hazy IPA. Staff seemed a happy bunch which is always a good indicator of what you’ll experience.

The kitchen closes at 7:20, not 11pm which is what it says on Google maps. The people when Ice and the building is beautiful. The food was non-existent because the kitchen was closed.

Had a table of 11 and did not start well with some service issues which we did make known to the manager . Once made known the manager did a good job of resolving as many of them as possible making what could of been a bad experience, overall a good one. So thank you to him. Food was good.

The service was great but the food slightly let the restaurant down as not very hot and no vegetables to accompany the main dishes, very quiet atmosphere

Great food, staff and beer garden

Gave it another try after a disappointing experience last time. Won't be rushing back to eat. Service initially good and food arrived very promptly. After finishing we sat there unattended for a good 20 minutes before getting up and paying at the till and taking childrens ice cream home. Even that took another 10 minutes. Food itself disappointing, childrens burgers dry, roast beef tough and roast potatoes rough to cut with the blunt small knives given and very dry in the middle. Plus no horseradish sauce, this happened last time so I wonder if they ever have any? Customers should be told this when they order not when the food is placed in front of them. I for one would have ordered something else. The pub cat was also seen on a vacated table licking sauce out of a bowl, not surprisingly it had been left uncleared as appears to be the norm. I hope they thoroughly wash the dishes as this has serious health and safety implications.

Was a real disappointment today! We usually Love coming here not sure we will be coming back to eat here again now. Ordered at the bar and the lady behind the bar wasn’t welcoming what so ever. Didn’t even try to act like she wanted to be there. Mostly everything on the menu wasn’t available. Sat in the garden food was delivered and was not great at all. Really bland, nachos under done, curdled sour cream sticky fish batter!?! Real shame such a lovely venue that use to be brilliant.

Went to this place for a family dinner. Food was awful. Burgers with a burnt crust, kids goujons and chips were overfried with dark brown crust. Just terrible. Drinks were good and waitress service was good. Just don’t eat food there. Overpriced and badly cooked.

We have been going to the manor on and off for years. Over the past year or two the service and everything about the place has been going downhill. We decided to give it a try one last time as we were really hoping they would have made improvements with staffing etc. This was not the case, the staff seemed to have no idea what they were doing. Talking amongst themselves, swearing behind the bar in front of families and not putting orders in correctly or at all!! Will not be returning

A lovely historic place. Lovely garden area. Always have a nice time when I go here.

We stop off quite often on our way back from various travels, lovely garden and food 👍

Amazing building and gardens - full of screaming kids though. Food was ok - steak a bit chewy and rare. Mushroom cold and seemed uncooked and pale and tomato was raw. No mayo, few sauces. not worth the price tag.

Decent prices and tasty food. Gorgeous building.

Great setting for standard pub grub. Nothing wrong but correct rather than exceptional.

Very tasty food, good service, nice atmosphere,

I always enjoy this pub, but it's quite strange in design it has a fairly small bar area, a great big function room/restaurant and a Hugh beer garden. Easy parking.

Today was good in the manor until the family with screaming kids came in at 7pm.

Good food and friendly staff, love the pub cat he’s so friendly and cuddly!

Understaffed, and it showed. Restricted car parking.

Great venue for a function. Pleasant staff.

Terrible experience last weekend. Food took over 2 hours to come out, which when it finally did, the chips were freezing cold, potatoes and vegatables in the roasts were were half cooked and my partners salad completely forgotten. No appologies or explanations until after we raised a compliant. Icing on the cake was when they 'forgot' we had paid a £50 deposit despite being unable to book without paying this and didn't take it off the bill, whilst at the same time bringing out a seperate bill for the salad they never sent out. Wonder how many times they try the deposit trick to see if people forget. It should be a default action.

Well what can I say ! We arranged to go for lunch with my family Saturday 15th June to celebrate my husband's birthday and father's day 8 adults 5 children. We were shown to a large table out the back of the restaurant looks like were they put large groups. Almost immediately they wanted to take our food order . We ask for time only 5 mins we hadn't even sat down yet 🫣. We were not given children's menus when clearly had children age 5 to newborn. Once we had ordered I looked around 🫣 big mistake the place was obviously dirty all the panels on the walls had thick dirt/dust tables sticky and uncleaned properly chairs grubby all around the table legs base ect . Pot holding a bit of cutlery dirty clearly not cleaned for a prolonged period . My granddaughter needed the restroom and omgoodness it smelt like a stable. Painted toilet seats that have seen better days peeling and chipping and everything grubby. Food arrived in prolonged stages half had finished before the last meal (the birthday boy) which he couldn't eat as it was a chicken pie ice cold in the centre. Eggs on ham eggs not cooked so snotty on top and cold. Children's meals contain bigger portions than the adults . I had barley 10 chips. 3 members of staff 1 male 2 females wandering about but only 1 working by the looks of it (the male ) nobody checked our table to see if everything was ok or if we needed anything. So no drinks were had . We sat with plates of uneaten food for over 40 mins . Then my son had to approach the bar to ask about pudding were he was sent back with 3 types of ice-cream for the childrens meal (no adults were offered pudding) were he then had to go back to the bar with his ice-cream choice which he had to wait for and came back with 3 ice creams and spoons . I don't expect the Ritz we just wanted normal food and normal service. It seems such a waste of what could be a lovely venue.

Not 100% staff fault due to layout but they could be likely staffed to allow them to walk in to see if people need anything IE coming 2-3 after handed meals if everything is okay? Aka basic food practise Had to chase for several things Triple cooked chips are lovely but in the smaller portion sizes, Kids meals looked more generous then adults to be honest I didn't have it but pie meal looks packet Bratwurst looked not genuine or was expecting at least somengrill marks..No onions? Only coke zero on tap, premium bottles for not having chemicals Nice garden area, kids will enjoy Indoor looks like needs work, deep clean

We waited a long time to be served, the pie was cold and had to be sent back, when returned food missing. Cauliflower cheese under cooked and roast beef was of very poor quality. Not a pleasant way to spend Father’s Day.

They have a pub cat (which I personally wouldn’t mind if the cat was simply walking around on the floor since I like cats). The cat jumped on a chair on top of a handbag that was there, grabbed my son’s stuffed toy and dug it’s claws into it playing with it, and jumped on top of the table to grab some of the food when a group picture was being taken. Starter food portion was laughable it was so small for the mixed sharer for the price. Most staff was in inexperienced and not responsive enough although they were trying their best. Cauliflower bites were small and tasteless. Loaded chilli fries were a small portion but actually incredibly tasty.

Hangleton manor? More like hangleton no manners! Shocking service!! Served everyone on our table and brought mums food an hour after originally ordered, we’d all eaten she just wanted a refund in the end because it was already over by the time her food came.

Went late Sunday afternoon/early evening, roast dinner £10 ! Only beef on the menu, but that may be because it was the end of the day . Veg gravy and extras were lovely , only disappointment eas the beef , it was tough , but again it is end of the day . Will be returning earlier next time for more choice . Great beer garden , dogs welcome, and nice surroundings . Don't touch the dish if you order cauliflower cheese !! I was not warned and burned my hand on the handle !

Food was hit and miss,mine (fish and chips)was great but my friend had sausage and mash,and the sausage was very overcooked and black,and the fish pie was a jacket potato mashed in with fish. New meals were provided,so customer service is good.

Best Sunday roast I've had in a long time, many thanks for the superb service and answering the many questions we had. Importantly the roast beef was a perfect medium/medium rare (even the fat had been rendered down perfectly), the braised red cabbage was a hit, the potatoes were supreme and the assortment of seasonal veggies was only triumphed by the magnificent yorkie.... seriously you have to try it.

Good food and a lovely pub garden.

Over priced and very average. Ordered the roast & the beef was so tough most of it was inedible. Mentioned to the waitress who said she'd reduce the bill. Never saw her again, no reduction. 1 starter, 2 mains, 3 icecreams, 1 glass of wine & a soft drink for over £70. Rip off. Won't be back.

Beautiful sunny day in the beer garden

Quiet and quaint, dog friendly, good beer

The main bar is a cosy place serving a good selection of drinks and food. There's a larger restaurant and hall for bigger groups or parties.

Quite disappointed. Not enough choice on the menu. Steak sold out. No atmosphere. It was cold. It was half empty and took ages for the young boy to come for our drinks order. Greasy fish and chips. Loved the manor years ago. Its a shame.

Sadly not a great place to visit. Food choice limited, and to be asked if you want your change after a £120+ bill is not good. Building looks nice from the outside, but seating and tables in the restaurant hall area is tatty. Items not available from the menu. Even a Coke is over £4 a glass. One of the most disappointing and expensive places I have had the misfortune to visit. Would never go there again. Even if it was free. Thank you for the reply, at least. I hope it does manage to improve at least, but just me contacting me, will not improve the place and service. I will not be returning, but I hope the place improves for others. As I said, I would not be returning. Even if it was free. And In it’s self, that would influence the service. Just please fix it for the others. And I wish you all the best.

Went for a big birthday meal and had 11 in our party. The waitress was very helpful throughout our evening and food was of a high standard. This is a great pub I’ve been visiting since a kid and just love the atmosphere of this place. (They have one of the best Mac and Cheese I’ve ever had)

Not enough bar staff for busy times. Queue out the door for drinks. Toilets need a good cleaning stunk and dirty. Food excellent shame it's gone downhill in other areas.

Dining hall was cold when we arrived and had to request the fire be lit. Excessively long wait times to be served in the bar which was clearly understaffed. The whole place needs a really thorough deep clean, the toilets smelled bad and the floors were filthy. Food was OK but nothing to write home about. It was particularly frustrating to find no prices on the drinks menus making the choice of wine a difficult process necessitating the bar staff individually researching the price for each bottle. The whole place was shabby, for example cat food left in the public passage from bar to dining hall. We won’t be rushing back!

The place is beautiful and we all loved it there, we can’t wait to visit this historic manor again for some delicious food! 🥰

Well, easter weekend! What was i thinking? As; n i thought id sit in the lovely gardens, in a bit if sun, Kids running around everywhere , the place was in a huge mess, but that shows how popular it was ! Theyd run out of some wines, the var was packed, loads of olates and mess EVERYWHERE, again, this shows how very popular tgis place is, a lovely building, big airy rooms, though the bar was probably too small to cope with the volume of people who turned up that day, 20 mins wait for a drink, i think they were totally overwhelmed, very young staff, not a problem, just again were overwhelmed. The roast dinners seemed a massive winner, i will go back when its quieter and eat. A lovely building and outdoor space, go and investigate for yourself, worth going. ( Possibly not on an easter Monday!)

Overall good food, friendly efficient service, with a smile in very busy circumstances

Nice pub but really slow service

Disappointing! Kept waiting for over an hour Roast beef well below standard and costly Limited menu considering it was Easter Sunday Puddings were complementary due to lack of organisation with our meals and they were tasty Would not recommend

Sorry but... food poor quality, need to up your game, everyone in our party had something different, all commented on disappointing quality. Service was not great, had to wait 15 mins at the bar for our bill. Need more staff it would appear.

Lovely place to vist with the wife or family.freat relaxed atmosphere

We all really enjoyed both courses and found the service to be spot on, attentive without over bearing. The ambience was great too, music at just the right level to be enjoyed without interfering with conversation.

Spent most of our time waiting for and trying to get attention of waiting staff. Tables left to cleared, even dirty glasses mounting up by the till next to where we sat. You gave one waiting staff holding the whole place together. Didn’t get her name but whatever you’re paying her, double it. The others seem to wander around in a daze with zero sense of urgency and no customer service skills.

We had a really enjoyable family lunch and the food was good and I felt it was good value

The food was okay. Nothing special, service slow, forgot drinks. The Badger best bitter disappointing.

Always gorgeous food with big portions and lovely friendly staff

Friendly staff and a beautiful Manor house. The vegan nut roast was pretty good, and they had a number of other vegan options. Various items from the menu were not available, and they did not have tomato juice, but overall a good experience. Would definitely recommend.

Love seeing animals around the ginger cat and dogs amazing

My friend’s fish and chips were one of the best he’s ever had. I had the fish pie which was disappointing. Our wives both had the sweet potato curry which they thoroughly enjoyed.

Venue is really nice, we were seated very quickly. Bar and waitresses staff were very welcoming. The food was filling, a good choice on the menu. Desserts were huge! Thank you for a nice evening

Lovely food and excellent service

Great pub. big rear bear garden service could be better had to wait ages to get a drink

The restaurant is filthy, dust and cobwebs around the windows haven’t been cleaned for months. I had the fish pie and it didn’t compare favourably to our local Mitchell’s and Butler

In the summer we ordered their lovely chunky chips with homemade coleslaw. But just before Christmas we went for same ,it consisted of 7 chips and no coleslaw, but same price.

Friendly atmosphere with olde worlde feel. Also do coffees Pub garden is lovely in summer

Been here a couple of times for a festive meal with family. Beautiful building. Usually busy. Food is nice. Service is usually a tad slow, but friendly.

Been here so many times. I love this little gem 💎 ❤️

Brilliant service and afforded the privacy for a wake/celebration of a life. All in all it felt like a celebration. There was plenty of parking for everyone and if there had been over spill there was plenty of parking on the road. The facilities were clean and the staff attention was quick, friendly, efficient & non-intrusive. There was plenty of food, it catered for both carnivores and herbivores and I'm told they had gone above and beyond what was expected. I was too full to have any of the delicious cake that was brought out.

A lovely Christmas Eve lunch for 15, great food and great staff
