No 32 in Brighton and Hove

No32 were great hosts for Birthday drinks with my friends and family on saturday night. The cocktails were incredible and the staff were very accomodating and friendly. Thank you so much to Zoe for being particularly attentive and friendly, we really enjoyed your service. Will definitely be coming back again.

Amazing food. Great kind staff. Amazing cocktails. Very great venue! Defo recommend!

Sunny is an absolute champion. He really looks after those drinking and those who would like a glass of water. Thanks to him I had a really good night!! Thank you Sunny!!! ☺️😊

Great service, great food. We’d move to Brighton just to eat here again! Huge variety and every dish fantastic, on the list of places to come back to.

We prebooked a table for brunch as the reviews for No 32 were so promising, what a disappointment. We arrived at 11 00 the restaurant looked closed but when we went in it was actually open, we were told the kitchen didn't open until 1130....no problem as that was the time we booked and hot drinks were ordered.. At 1135 we were told there would be a delay and the kitchen would open at 12. We explained we had trains to catch at 130pm we were told that would work. We decided to give the very friendly waiter our order at 1145 so that the chef could start as soon as able. When eventually 1240 our food arrived two of our parties food was too salty and inedible...the other waiter asked if they would like it done again...we asked how long....8 minutes was the response....for scrambled eggs on avocado toast! This was declined. Two others if our party had avocado toast with poached eggs...on both plates the eggs were overcooked and cold. The younger waiter apologised when I asked for and paid the bill for the delay and that things were not as things should have been. When we left the other waiter who was now alone behind the bar completely ignored us as we left ! Quite astonishing!

Was met immediately by the lovely staff team at No.32 they seated us quickly and were really warm and welcoming the whole time we drank and dined at No.32 can 100% recommend

Enjoyed DJing here last month. Fun crowd and bar staff.

Afro beats night out..Beautiful ambience

Very slow service at lunch time, even though the place was nearly empty. The fish and chips is to be avoided. The fish was dry and consisted mostly of over fried batter. The 32 burger was dry too. In all a disappointing experience, not one to be repeated. The waitress was friendly and efficient. - shame about the food.

This is a great restaurant if you're coming to brighton Definetely reconmended if you're coming with family or friends

AVOID! We attended No.32 for some cocktails at the start of our night celebrating a bride to be. We had to pay a £5pp deposit which is not a problem but not really sure why as the venue was dead (maybe one other group). We chose to sit outside upstairs on the small terrace area and we were informed it was bar service only, they also seemed reluctant to let us sit there despite the venue being empty - when we got there the terrace was pretty dirty and poorly kept. The waiter at the bar quite frankly looked like he wanted to be anywhere but there. He had no conversation, made the wrong drinks and the cups were dirty. For a cocktail bar to serve drinks in plastic cups is extremely poor and ruins the vibe. We asked to change the glasses and instead of changing the drinks for us the waiter just put some glasses on the table for us to do ourselves - these were dirty. Needless to stay we finished our drinks and left. I would recommend Bohemia instead great cocktails reasonably priced and great atmosphere!!

'Serena' - Italian girl our waitress 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟was absolutely awesome, she is a credit to the establishment! If I owned my own restaurant I would poach her in an instant!! Amazing service and very attentive and even brought water for my dog-Thank you . Great humour! Can not rate her highly enough! Food was good too. Will definitely return and will try more on the menu next time. Stanley

Lovely food in smart surroundings. Very friendly staff

I completed a four-hour trial shift at Bar 32. At the end of the shift, the owner, Ben, informed me I was hired, and I signed the necessary contracts. I mentioned two dates I could not work, which was accepted at the time. However, when I called the following week to confirm my start dates, I was told my job offer was rescinded due to my unavailability on those dates, and I was not paid for the trial shift. The poor communication and disregard for my time were disappointing. I would not recommend seeking employment at Bar 32.

This was not my choice for our dinner reservation, and immediately realised this used to be Havanas. The interior is grand enough, but the architecture largely helps this. We had a table at 7:15 on a Wednesday and I assumed it would be busier. We were one of around three tables, which did little to provide any atmosphere. It felt pretty dead. You would think that because of the few tables needing attending to that the service would be excellent. Unfortunately this was not the case. We were handed very tatty menus and seemed to wait an age for cocktails to be made. We were not advised of the numerous dishes not available from the menu that evening, which was quite awkward when we tried to order both of them. They also did not have the English sparkling wine that we ordered two glasses of. The food was highly average. I ordered two vegetarian dishes, both of which did not seem to contain at least one of the stated ingredients. My partner ordered steak and received what we believe was a sirloin when he ordered ribeye. Needless to say I will not be returning.

Smart restaurant just off the Lanes. Lovely big widows that give an inside/outside feel if you’re sat by the pavement. Food was good and well presented, but not remarkable. Friendly service but a bit slow.

Amazing food and quirky atmosphere!

Wasn't allowed in without ID so ended up going to a normal friendly pub instead.

Demanded ID before they let us in? I guess I should be flattered?

We booked a table for 6, and was put in a booth, which was great for chatting and eating. The restaurant was empty but as a group celebrating a birthday we had great fun. The food was nice and so were the cocktails. However, the manager came over and asked us what we were doing, we thought he was going to give us recommendations for later that night but he said to us that the the following day was more suited to people our age. In case you are wondering we ranged from mid thirties to mid fifties…We were shocked by the comment and definitely outraged, but we continued to enjoy the food and our company. Later in the evening the restaurant turns into a club but was still empty whilst we were still at the table. The waiter came over and although they had just delivered a round of drinks we were told we had to pour our drinks into plastic containers - this would have ruined the cocktails. We don’t know why they didn’t just make them in the plastic and quite frankly dirty glasses anyway. In case you are wondering, we ignored them and asked for the bill…. They bought the bill - not a small amount… and then immediately wanted payment not allowing us to even read the bill. My advice if you are teeny bopper this place is for you but if you are sophisticated adult and want good service avoid.

Do not book, seriously go and eat somewhere else. I had booked No.32 for my wife and I to celebrate her 30th Birthday along with our 4 month old. On the afternoon of the booking, only a couple of hours before we were supposed to visit, I received a call explaining that they've had to cancel my booking, due to the fact that they will not be open and they "weren't told" about our booking So, despite being emailed weeks in advance to confirm the booking, No.32 have completely left us in the lurch with their abysmal service.

Go regularly for the thes32h last Friday of the month event. Always a great a venue and top of the range sound system.

Amazing customer service from start to finish. We booked in February for a large party in April and from there until we left on the night, Ali was superb!! He dealt with us with such professionalism, always found time to answer our questions and ensure we were accommodated fantastically. He was just brilliant! Confirmed and organised our party so well we had no concerns and the whole evening went without a hitch! The whole team were great! Ivan our waiter was fantastic dealing with 17 happy women and the venue was outstanding! Food was gorgeous and Ali on the night was exceptional. Highly recommend!! Will definitely book again! Thank you Ali for making the organisation of a large event so much easier. You really were fantastic. Thanks from the Brennan booking April 20th!

Lovely bar / restaurant with great staff. The cocktails are amazing and the atmosphere and decor is fantastic . The food is absolutely delicious too. Highly recommend

Such a lovely place to eat, when we went it was quiet. The staff were very attentive and we had excellent service from Rosa. Food was really good and plenty of it. I would highly recommend and hope to be back. To the manager, keep on doing what you’re doing - my gin glass was fab, I was so surprised.

Lovely Sunday dinner,very good service. Would recommend Sunday dinner to all friends and family

On March 3rd, we had lunch at the Sunday roast. The hall was very empty, but there was a very long wait for lunch, it was served barely warm, and there was only fat on the bottom, the food was very oily/greasy. 8 years ago it was a great restaurant, now I don't recommend going there.

Had a roast dinner over cooked so they cooke again and went home with the trots . All for 50 pounds so the moral of the story don’t eat here

Love the food and drink here, the toilets are clean and the staff is friendly. Can't ask for much more.

The restaurant is huge !!! Must be great to have a party or family gathering here. We love the prawns and fried squid. However the bread I ordered was a bit burnt. The roast chicken my fried order was large portions, will suggest to share w two ppl. The fries was super good !!! Will come back for that fries again. And the bartenders looks rly cool, must try their cocktails next time 👍👍

Hello im from Brighton and yesterday on 16.02.24 I was in NO32 Was nice but the security was too rude with the people! Should to people i was so shocked how they talked with the guest! The staff I think they all was new ! They was like never working this job!

Security were rude and unprofessional

Practically had to give DNA to enter

Terrible service and food today, no hot water upstairs! What’s going on?! No ambience - no music dead as a dodo and freezing. Shame

HAD a great time celebrating my friend’s birthday. The service is very good and the food also very great. It is very spacious and good to celebrations.

First time eating here after walking past for years. Made a late Saturday night booking and was able to get a table. Food was surprisingly good. Chicken was moist and not dry. Chips were fantastic. Basic but so many places get it wrong. Good service too.

WE LOVE LIAM MAKE HIM BAR MANAGER very well mannered

Cold rainy day, shops crowded with pre Christmas shoppers and we just wanted a good meal in a relaxed atmosphere. We found it at 32 Duke Street. Excellent carvery lunch with superbly cooked vegetables and meat. Cheered us up and made our day. Would thoroughly recommend.

Great place to have a nice lunch. We got 4 little plates to share between the 2 of us. When I told them it was my birthday they gave me a glass of prosecco! How nice was that! Highly recommended.

A good spot for brunch in central Brighton - it's much bigger than you'd think on the outside so plenty of space for big groups. Try nab a spot on the upstairs balcony for ambience!

Pleasant,jolly, atmosphere,with some good tunes to groove to!

We have only visited for drinks but WOW – cocktails to die for. The flat white martini is especially delicious. They come at a price (£££) but very nice.

Homophobic bar and security staff. Not a queer safe place, avoid at all costs.

I was a regular customer before the close for a makeover.. I came back for the first time in a while. At the bar I got greeted by a bartender called Alex(?) he was a fast and polite server, he also recommended patron rather than the standard house tequila... which I chose, (meaning I spent a few extra pounds, which I didn't mind) I saw a man who was clearly the manager. (I have worked in hospitality venues for years, and could see that he was correcting people/in charge)... I went to express that the person who served me was great at their job, and to be honest I got dismissed. I understand that managing a busy venue, you don't having time for general chit chat, but from what I saw, the staff aren't being properly appriectiated. Either change your team if you don't think they're doing a good job, or train them to work the way you would prefer.

Halloween night so a bit quiet. Staff friendly and helpful. Food good (but plates cold !)

Good selection of drinks and friendly staff!

Was looking for somewhere for Sunday roast and came across no.32. The food was really good. I had a starter and then the roast beef. There was so much food! The cauliflower cheese was very cheesy too. The staff team were very friendly and service was great. Would definitely go again, when I return to Brighton.

Sunday lunch for one, did the job. Place was empty when I arrived and had two more tables when I left, which struck me as odd for a sunny Sunday afternoon. Service was fine. Scallops were OK, as was roast beef (roast potatoes, parsnips, carrots, red cabbage, green beans, savoy cabbage, Yorkshire, and * some * gravy - note they offer more gravy as a charged side). Cauliflower cheese was truly bizarre, contained tiny florets which weren't even forkable - basically served as a 4.50 bowl of sauce - I left it. Space seems pretty enough but too big. Seemed clean but the table menus were really dogeared which makes one wonder. Service and charge were fine

This is a nice looking venue, shame it wasn't very busy when we were there, its £5 to get in, and all the tables are roped off so no where to get a drink and sit down. Considering it was so empty I'm not sure why we couldn't use the many empty tables. Will give it another go through as the bar staff and security are very friendly and welcoming.

Avoid this place at all costs. I am visiting Brighton from London today and had a table booked for this evening, I have just had a call to tell me my reservation is cancelled as the restaurant is not opened. Absolutely disgusting customer service do not take bookings you can’t commit to. Go elsewhere.

Avoid this restaurant at all costs. I am visiting Brighton from London tonight and they have cancelled my reservation last minute. Absolutely disgusting customer service.

The menu has a wide range of interesting dishes which caters for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. The staff were friendly and the service was good.

So although there was only one other couple eating I have to say the 'tempura' fish & chips we ordered was delicious & the waitress serving us was excellent. I'm hoping that this place was only quiet because we were eating early in evening as I would be more than happy to visit again when in Brighton.

We ate at No32 last night to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday. Crystal, our waitress, was wonderful: friendly, professional, and really helpful. In fact, the whole team made us all feel welcome. The food was excellent, along with a great choice of drinks. Thanks for making Jessica's birthday meal so lovely, Crystal. We look forward to coming back when we visit Brighton again.

Delicious brunch, great service, nice looking interior, music in the background not too loud, £12 for shakshouka, generous pot of tea

Nice and cosy or quiet in these busy times out in the street with a good range of food and drink options here, great stuff to have a brunch menu that can be a rally good meal substitute for anything. Have been once before though a while ago, but planning on coming again too.

As a roast dinner stalker……. We have had roast dinners all over the country in every different kind of surrounding at every different level of culinary experience. We had no doubt,and wasted no time, in agreeing that the roast dinner served (one chicken and one beef) was by far the best we had sampled anywhere. Even the absence of roasted spuds (No 32 serve skin on baby potatoes) did not sway our opinion. The sweetened veg, perfectly cooked meat and the bone marrow gravy set a new high bar for me and my partner. The service, the surroundings and the price were all a brilliant addition and supplemented a perfect dinner.

Sunday roast beef was just out of this world we really enjoyed it. Gravy was delicious and only £19!! 🤤 will defo come again

Great food (for meat lovers) and nice atmosphere!

I have often travelled to Brighton with my partner to no32 when we want good night life as we have always enjoyed the atmosphere and staff… due to past experience and my dear friend getting married I decided to throw her hen party at no32 and book a VIP table. This was a HUGE let down as on arrival nothing was prepared, the table was tiny and for the £250 we had to pay we felt we did not get our moneys worth. Nobody had bothered to make my friend feel welcome a young member of staff actually wished her happy birthday she had paid no attention and when complaining she argued back!! I had then kindly approached the manager/owner who was anything but accommodating, did not try and make the situation better he shrugged his shoulders and simply didn’t care. Terrible service and terrible ‘vip table’ After this Experience myself and others will not be returning!!

Cadre très sympa. Bons cocktails. On nous a cependant gentiment fait comprendre qu'il fallait partir au bout de 45 minutes car il y avait une soirée privée.

The cocktails were amazing and the staff super friendly!

Unreal evening, the bartenders were amazing - 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to having a drink and a dance, bartenders are super friendly and fun! Make the best drinks and so reasonable priced ❤️ new fave spot! Gotta shout out the best - Yasmin, Alex, Sophia

Food was good, had a smash burger, Mai Thais here are amazing. Will Def go back again

We were really looking forward to going to this restaurant. It started ok with drinks. We ordered the tapas, this is where it went wrong. When the food came out it was l Ike warm and tasteless. We had the pork belly, it was mostly fat. We ordered olives that never turned up, but was put on the bill. Needless to say we didn’t pay the service charge. We won’t be returning.

We reserved a table here for brunch on 15/4/2023 to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We were welcomed by a lovely young girl who seats us promptly and brought us water to the table and took our drink orders, We waiting a long time for our drinks to arrive and then ordered food. We waited an hour for our food to arrive and when it did it was cold and pretty tasteless. One of our friends food hadn’t even arrived before 2 of us had finished. The eggs Benedict/ florentine/ royale (ordered by 3 of us) was really bland and not very enjoyable. The full English (ordered by 2) was cold, and arrived with 3 things missing. When these things were brought over separately over the space of about 10 minutes all of us had finished our food. When we asked to speak to a manager we were told there was no manager there because he was at the club part of the restaurant so doesn’t work the mornings, which is fair enough but maybe time to get an assistant manager! Such a shame because it’s a really beautiful venue and we had high expectations from this place! The staff that were there were all very kind and apologetic but the overall experience was pretty dire and unfortunately we won’t be returning, better off going to Wetherspoons!!!

We came to NO32 for a hen do. I booked them well in advance as it was a group of 23 of us!!! Finding a place in Brighton to cater for that many people was difficult, but the second I got a response from Ali at NO32 I knew that my luck had changed. From the off set it was easy. They reserved us the arches (which is out of the way from the main restaurant and made it feel so private for our party), they have a fantastic set menu, quick communication from Ali, and every single one of my questions were answered within 12 hours. Every single person that I dealt with at NO32 was brilliant. They were all so helpful, friendly and professional. The chefs- We were all blown away by the food. It was so delicious! To cater for a group of 23 and every single plate come out hot, perfectly served up and delicious...Impressed is an understatement! We especially loved the starters (and the brides pudding was our favourite also) The bar staff- Firstly, I would like to apologise to them for the amount of cocktails we all ordered, but it really is a compliment to them for how delicious they were. The boys behind the bar were SO friendly and every single cocktail they made was spot on. Their service was quick, and they made an effort with each and every one of us to chat and make it a fun experience. And lastly, lovely Emily (our waitress)- what an absolute dream! She made the experience so magical for us all. Her kindness and friendly manner made the whole afternoon perfect. She helped to kick off the day in such a fun and positive way, and we will all remember her every time we think of the hen do. She was brilliant! She made us all feel so comfortable, to the point that we felt like we were round her house having dinner. She is incredible, and is a true asset to NO32! Overall the team handled the whole afternoon with panache. Their professionalism and kindness will always be remembered, and I will recommend NO32 to everyone from now on. Thank you all for making the day so special!!!

My son bought me here on the off chance for a Mother’s Day lunch and we not disappointed. The staff were very friendly. The food was amazing! We both had the roasts which were just the right portion size and the meat was perfect. I had belly pork and my knife just melts the meat. My son had the beef rib and it was perfect. Not rushed sitting. Just the right attention by the staff. Background music perfect for a Sunday afternoon. Would definitely recommend and come back. Thank you.

Friday night good music, not too busy.

Me and my mum always go to No32 in Brighton when we have a big shopping trip and they never disappoint! This time we went however, the staff went above and beyond to make our visit as fabulous as possible! The waitress was so kind and friendly and made us feel really special. The best bit of our lunch tho was the drinkies!! The barman-who’s name is Ollie, was one of the best bar staff I have ever met. His Aperol Spritz’s were by far the best we have ever tasted-even better than ones I have had in top notch restaurants in London! We even had 4 each because they were so tasty!! 5 stars for them all 🌟

Top class service from Crystal and a roast dinner that lived up to its billing. You don't go hungry here and the food tastes just as good. A chef that can really get your taste buds going and can cook the veg just as well as the roast itself. A relaxing atmosphere and friendly helpful staff. We will keep going back.

Thank you to the lovely friendly staff in this restaurant - we loved our meal. We had a delicious aubergine and pepper starter and a burrata cheese. My blackberry cocktail was also delicious. Our mains were very reasonably priced for the smart setting. We visited...

Great place, amazing food and even better service. The place for partying with friends and family 🙂

Nice, cozy and friendly environment. Service was fantastic and food was top-notch. Definitely coming back

Haven't even left the restaurant yet and wanted to say a massive thanks to Emily for being such a wonderful waitress. She has been very attentive, polite and her cheerful vibe was very welcoming and genuine. The food from starter to dessert was fantastic, highly...

Scallops disgusting with inedible morcilla. Extremely overpriced. It is not a fancy restaurant even though they charge like it, the food is below average. We complained about food but were still charged the 12.5%. After we paid another waitress came over to try get us to pay again. We felt sick afterwards.

Scallops tasted nothing like scallops I’ve ever had before. The morcilla on them was inedible, and I’m not a picky eater. All 4 of us tried and thought it was disgusting. My dad lives in Spain & said it doesn’t taste like morcilla and must’ve...

Most underrated food in Brighton, second time we have been and 10/10 both times - thank you

We came for a friend's 30th so had the vip area that we had to share due to a mess up in bookings and then there was a mess up with the drinks we had paid for but overall a good night. The vip table is a bit big as of it was slimmer we would be able to dance in it more.

We were only staying for a couple of nights and we had walked for 45 minutes trying to find somewhere that was not a pub and had soft lighting and a good menu. What a find. The food was sublime - the cod was meaty...

Lovely relaxed and welcoming, food delicious and fairly priced. The staff were attentive but not obtrusive.

I came here as a birthday treat from my boyfriend. I had never attended here before and was a bit nervous if I was underdressed while wearing casual clothes. However to my surprise we were offered such a warm welcome by staff and has a nice choice of seating in a space upstairs at a small intimate table overlooking downstairs. We had a waitress called Emily, who I must say was one of the most attentive, polite, and courteous staff. I was so impressed by her recommendations in the menu and was very pleased with what I chose which was the pan fried cod with parsley sauce. It was cooked to perfection and the sauce was perfectly made and enough portion wise. My partner has the beer battered cod and chips. Which I also stole some of that too haha. Music was after about 9.30pm which I will happily join in another evening as the vibe was very chilled and classy. Another shout out to Emily!!!

Had my 21st Birthday here, staff were super friendly and the dj was amazing, will be back!

We booked for 4 ppl they didnt tell us that we cannot stay over 9:30 bc one of us were under 18. That basically ruined my birthday, wish they could add it to their booking!!

Good food and cocktails. Clean and stylish, friendly staff

Not so good, not so bad! Overall okay

came today for brunch, i had the eggs benedict was very tasty ,nice atmosphere and good service and good value

What an unfriendly unhelpful cold place. Food was served cold, stone cold returned it.. my wife’s burger was inedible. 4 of us £180 I would have resented paying 50% of that. I told the waitress she was speaking to someone at the bar who kept on looking over at us but did he come to ask us the problem or try to resolve ? NO First and last visit for us.

Went there on a Saturday night with some friends DS. Found a quiet table to sit at. A group of 20 yr old lads clearly on a stag do come and take over our table saying it’s theirs because they reserved the one next to it. We ask the bouncer to mediate but he does nothing to help. I got pushed by one of these pathetic excuses for a man and me and my friends are forced to leave. Again security staff do nothing to protect calm paying guests. Won’t be going back. It’s worse than West street at protecting female guests. Terrible venue!

Starter was fine then went downhill from there. Table for 4 not surprised the place was empty and could fit us in, one waitress was attentive and on the ball the other well least said the better. Starter was fine the my main course was...

Sunday lunch was just ok , nothing that I would say go again . The service was slow and unenthusiastic. It was quiet and very cold inside . Only upside east portion size . Lots of places to eat near there and lots of better...

Lovely atmosphere and great staff.

Quite unexpectedly, realised we are seated at a place that we nearly ate at 21 years ago to the week...David proposed to me then, on a beach and we were set to have a lovely meal. The restaurant was so busy that we left after the service and champagne failed to materialise...however, this time round a chance drop in - service at Bar 32 in Brighton Lanes made good - special thanks to Emily our gorgeous waitress.

I danced here until the early morning on a reunion with some uni mates. Atmosphere was great and we enjoyed our time. Also, I'm very grateful to the nice employee who finished his shift at 3am+ and still had the patience to return my coat to me that I'd assumed I had lost for good. Cheers buddy!

Best service in Brighton. My boyfriend and I have been 3 times since moving here 2 weeks ago and will definitely keep returning. The food is great and the prices are reasonable but what really makes this place great is the staff. Every single person we've dealt with on each visit has been so kind and friendly. We recently had an issue with our Irish card not going through and they were so patient with us while we got it sorted. Highly recommend. 10/10 ⭐

Best layout!! Been to MANY high end resturant and LOVED thus place.

Came here on a first date and had the best time. The squid and the pork belly starters were incredible, and the rib-eye steak (as persuaded by server Olly) was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. Thanks to the chefs! Olly was an incredible server. He...

Really like the look of the place it's quite nice
