Hangleton Manor Pub & Restaurant, Hove in Brighton and Hove - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

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.

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 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.

Beautiful sunny day in the beer garden

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Christmas lunch was lovely today,turkey and all the trimmings, really lovely staff. Thank you

A beautiful old building that provides excellent service and beautiful spacious beer garden. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff that work hard to please. Beer is perfect and staff happy to bring it out to the garden if you wish to spend time there. Only draw back is the recent modernisation of the bar area and the overpriced and superficial nouvelle cuisine style menu is not in keeping with the character of this listed building.

We came in for a couple of drinks, there was a lovely atmosphere in the bar area and it's a nice place to be . The clientele was a mix of ages, families, couples and friends. The staff were really nice and helpful

This is a very atmospheric and historic pub, dating back around 500 years. Today, food is reasonable and prices are good. Safe to say this pub is unique in the city. More of a country pub than a city pub. Pay a visit

Just go for drinks have not eaten yet

Discount Monday. Excellent coffee and very nice red velvet cake. Triple cooked chips were great. Lovely place to have on your doorstep.

Went to the Manor for a birthday lunch. Thoroughly enjoyed the time spent there 👍

All good,very pleasant experience

Enjoyable Sunday lunch very busy place downside is some selections of the roast dinner sell out quickly.

Lovely pub nice food and nice e staff

Sunday roast was very tasty, served very quickly. but not hot enough

Had to sit in the bar as there was an event going on. We hadn't been informed of this when we booked the table. However our server made sure we were comfortable.

Awesome place to hold a party! We celebrated our civil partnership in two rooms, with a live band in one and Karaoke in the other. Amazing service, great buffet, at a reasonable price. Thoroughly recommended.

Came for a wake. Really lovely room. Food was good. Service was sketchy and slow.

Great service, good food plus wet friendly towards our dog

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

What a lovely little place to go and have food!! Service was amazing they couldn't do anymore if they tried!! Thank you. All of the food was extremely nice me and my partner really enjoyed it. Also dog friendly 😁 Was also joined by the neighbours cat 😺 who likes to go around and get affection

Saturday evening meal for 2. Quite quiet, lots of spare tables.

Stopped for a drink and food , with our dog,fish was great,chips too,nice settings, lovely pudding

It was good, staff were lovely, but service was a bit slow, had to wait a long time between courses. There was another group in the other room, so could have contributed to the slow service

We celebrated a special birthday this evening and the staff were so kind and helpful, they helped make everything perfect. Food was great too. I am so pleased we picked the Hangleton Manor. Thank you.

Came for Sunday lunch. Been somewhere between five and ten times previously, this one a little disappointing. Two people had roasts, one the sharing platter of wings. Roast potatoes weren't boiled or roasted long enough, and the chicken roasts were a bit bland and pale looking for us, a bit of rosemary and garlic woud be nice and a bit more colour. The chicken wings were supposed to come with tempura (battered) onions, but it didn't have any. The younger waiting staff could see, and agreed to bring us some chips as a compensation and so there was at least some contrast in texture to the dish. But then a manager came out and said there were a chives added instead because they'd run out of onions. No apology. But then promised chips didn't arrive either. Left a bit of sour taste, to be honest. If you don't deliver as advertised, there should at least be an apology. You might want to avoid the roast potatoes!

My brother and his family came to visit so I brought them here for lunch as I've always rated Hangleton Manor. Part of the pub was closed off for a wedding - fair enough. My brother and I went to the bar to order food and my brother ordered for his family first. I went to place my order immediately afterwards and was told that the kitchen was now closed so that the food for the wedding could be brought out so they couldn't process my order. The guy behind the bar told me he'd let me know when I would be able to order. My brother's family's order was brought out quickly and I asked if the kitchen was open yet. I was then told that the kitchen would be closed for the next two hours. It was very clear at the bar that my brother and I were part of the same party and I feel that this whole situation was handled very poorly by staff.

Really lovely country feeling pub. Food looked great, garden really lovely.

Quick pit-stop on a walk with the family. What a stunning place with a beautiful garden too. I'm looking forward to coming back soon. We didn't eat or see any food but my instinct is that it would be very good.

Only went for a drink 🍸 Nice old fashioned pub, With large garden space.

Excellent breakfast which was fresh and plentiful. Very reasonable price and well kept garden. Lovely quiet place for a drink and eat.

Didn’t eat this time as kitchen closed at 7pm on a Sunday

Always met with friendly staff lovely atmosphere inside and out always nice to eat in the gardens.Can fool yourself into believing your in the countryside as surrounded by trees and lots of green.Never had a complaint with food always satisfied.

Here for a wake, so a bit tricky to do a review! However, great spread, with good Malbec to wash it down.

Went for an informal wedding reception. Pub was open to public but worked really well. Nice venue, plenty of parking, and outside seating.

It's was clean tidy freindly staff good food drinks X x x

Great roomy pub with friendly staff! Food was good, a pretty standard roast with all the trimmings. Really nice beer (Badger) on tap.

Very nice food very good and staff were excellent all in all a very good evening out

Very nice, traditional pub/restaurant. We didn't eat there but plenty of others were. It was pretty busy mid-week, which is always a good sign. Beautiful location, lovely inside - all wood everywhere - and a lovely large garden.

Went for roast dinner on father's day, lovely setting, character pub with pleasant garden. Yorkshire puddings and veg nice but the veggie roast looked unappetising - a slab of grey mush and tasted as expected - no texture, or flavour. Very disappointed. Planned to email HM for comments, rather than post public review but the only contact offered is to call, or use social media.

Great old building, service very good, beef in main course a little tough.

We ordered a chicken salad..no salad available...so we had a ham and cheese toasted sandwich..the ham was good but the cheese was hardly visable..not worth the price we paid.

Loads of potential and beautiful old building but food is pretty average. Nice friendly service though. Update: just been again and no improvement in food and felt expensive at over £6 for a tuna melt (no salad, crisps or chips on the side) that was very average with supermarket brown bread (supposed to be wholemeal) and mild cheddar cheese 😞
