Saltdean Tavern in Brighton and Hove

Not been to the Carvary for sometime, i met my Niece last week for a catch up we both really enjoyed the food, they even had gluten free gravy! Toilets were clean too.

Love the tavern, always such a warm and welcoming place with affordable food such a short walk from the beach. Visit here often

Food delicious, but the whole building needs a serious redecoration inside and out ! Blinds were ripped and posts outside rusty

All super easy, clean, efficient, and super tasty food! Shani was our server and she was lovely and attentive and helpful, and always there when we needed her :)

Such lovely and welcimg customer service from maeva i will definitely be back

I loved the food and there was a girl called maeva and she helped me a lot I loved her energy and help! Definitely will be back

Really good value for money. We went as a group of 13 and the meals all came out hot and at the same time. The place needs a REALLY good clean. The curtains are thick with dust and it is dirty here. But it’s a cheap eat and good food all the same.

Enjoyed very much Maeva was very helpful 👍

I asked about dairy allergy was told not to have the mash and not the cauliflower cheese and the gravy. After having some of the vegetables, I was told by a friend that they put butter on the vegetables to make them look nice. I have since been back and forth to the toilet. Thanks for the wrong information. Won't be going here again.

Excellent carvery and bar person Shani very polite

I have been coming hear for a long time and I think the staff are very welcoming and treat us very well and the food and drinks are always good and it’s a fun place to have a laugh with your mates

Great place, Great service and even greater prices 👍 Would definitely recommend for anyone coming through saltdean 👍

A great carvery enjoyed the food very much friendly staff. The staff member Shani was very nice. I enjoyed the Turkey and Beef and the roast potatoes.

It was a decent meal, the thing that made the experience better was the a lovely waitress called Shani she made us feel so welcome and went above and beyond for a our request

Lovely little spot for a cheap and cheerful breakfast! We were greeted by Shani, who was a lovely host. The hash browns were spot on and we all helped ourselves to seconds. 👌🏼

The stone house pub is very good especially shani behind the bar always polite and welcoming I would recommend highly

All the staff are a credit to the Pub and Stonehouse

Our food was fast and fine - service was excellent from Maeva

I came here for a family lunch. Wasn’t busy and food took 25 mins for starters and an extra 20 mins for main food. I had the Philly Burger and was expecting an actual beef burger patty but received a terrible processed rubbery burger which wasn’t pleasant at all. Didn’t finish it despite being hungry. A couple of my family had roasts which in the past have been okay but it was incredibly salty and not pleasant. Our mains were not cleared by waiter when he bought out our desserts which was the brownie which was very dry. Overall very dissatisfied with the meal. Would not reccomend. Was also served a bottom of the barrel Guinness which had to ask to be changed. Poor.

The tempura prawn started was cooked to perfection but I didn’t like the sweet and sour dip, I thought it was sweet chilli so disappointing, for my main I thought I would play it safe with a ‘simple cheeseburger, turned out to be two of the greasy-it’s burgers. Felt like the were dipped in grease and put in the oven for two minutes, had to take one of em out as it was way to much grease for me. Felt quite sick afterwards would not recommend. Looked like the carvery was the only thing worth eating

I was beautifully serviced by Maeva. Thank you, and will definitely come again.

Maevi was really friendly at the bar and checked that we liked the food, good customer service skills

This place is amazing,the food is great and they have amazing staff. The staff maeva was very helpful and very friendly…

Came in with a friend for dinner, was served by Maeva, she was very friendly, helpful & polite.

Dogs not allowed inside but you can sit outside with them, which is ok until the smokers congregate around the front door. The food was ok for the price. It’s an ok place, but it’s seen better days. The car park is now only free for 2 hours, then gets expensive.

Relaxed, comfortable with a typical local pub vibe. Carvery is good value for price

Served by the manager who was really friendly and welcoming. Enjoyed my carvery and will come back again - thank you!

Great food much improved since the new changes

Good value and well cooked food.

This place is absolutely amazing and the food is great. Start off with the breakfast I had was fantastic with a good choice of items, bacon eggs and fried bread and so much more to choose from. All you can eat was excellent value for money. Staying on to lunch the carvery was out of this world and the meat was so succulent and soft, with the unlimited sides of veg with the transitional roast potatoes and stuffing and gravy made it exceptionally good. The drinks were decently priced and a sure way to make us stay right in to dinner time. Doing an all day stay diving right into desert was so nice, service was exceptional and the staff and the cooks were very kind in helping my needs of service. This is one of the best storehouses I’ve been to and all ready been here multiple times I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good place to eat. Way to go and thank you to all the staff at Stonehouse saltdean for a great day out

We come here often and the food is always good , but because it's such an under used restaurant some times the meat is a little dry but otherwise the place is clean and the staff are lovely and welcoming we have never had the pizza but they always look amazing and fresh

Ok but could do with gluten free ale or IPA on tap 🤗

Carvery sundays!...Food could be improved on!!Still better,than Wethys....!!!?

Very good food, good value. Bit understaffed

A lacklustre experience on more than one occasion. There is no notification when you walk in that service is via the bar which only has one person serviing or via the QR code. Tonight no apple sauce or brown sauce! Starters cleared away but menus left on the table! I have been for breakfast on seven occasions and they have only had black pudding which is advertised on the menu on one occasion with an array of excuses as to why it is not available. Very often breakfast replenishment is slow, you have to wait for a chicken to lay an egg for it to be cooked and added to the breakfast bar. Service is non existent, it is self service in every sense of the word. The carvey was ok though. This place is crying out for table sevice for the complete service offer excluding the carvery of course, in my opinion.

Went for help yourself breakfast, good choice, eggs and bacon over cooked, coffee run out.

Absolutely fantastic traditional pub / carvery. Great family atmosphere and service. Food is amazing and great value. Carvery, pub classics and even a pizza bar . Lots of parking and transport links. Superb location next to the stunning historic Saltdean Lido and literally fifty steps to the beach and sea. The local area is an Art Deco heaven. I highly recommend, regards Michael

I went in for breakfast today. I was very impressed by Grace who served me. She was cheerful, polite and very helpful. Thank you to her for her very welcoming manner. The food was also very good. Thank you

A victim of its own success, the atmosphere always depends on the patrons. Sadly a few customers lack of manners and basic understanding of how to use serving utensils spoilt my visit. The team provide what's needed for each choice of vegetable so why take dirty serving utensils from other dishes to cross contaminate the food on offer?

Trinity, Megan and grace were all so catering for us as a group of 9. Only compliant we had was the beef burger was extremely dry.

Brilliant experience, good food, great service 👍 we went for Christmas dinner 16 of us

Average carvery and average breakfast

The staff are wonderful and there was one particularly I remembered named Maeva. She was so helpful and enthusiastic and she was able to uplift the atmosphere. I would definitely come here again as everything to me was 10/10 but I just wanted to say a massive shout out to Maeva as she really made my day and delivered an outstanding service.

Second time here in 2 weeks, absolutely fantastic!! Excellent service and attention from Grace, very helpful, nothing too much trouble. Food served to us by Oren, again with fantastic service, quality of food was excellent, prices were fantastic, so good in fact our Son paid !!!!. Well done team, see you again soon.

Visited on a Monday in December. We had prebooked. Used Bluelight card to get a 20% discount on the food. We all had the standard carvery which was delicious. Excellent vfm. A go to restaurant for family meals. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Nice food pleasant atmosphere value for money - eat all you want breakfast

Good bottomless breakfast, thanks Grace for yet another good experience

Grace, Jasmin, Oren and Charlie were brilliant, catered for around 25 people with quick and effective service. Made the whole experience lovely and would recommend highly coming to the tavern for the carvery!

Very very very friend place and the atmosphere we were served by the waitress maeva and the service was very lovely always making sure we were okay

So good and welcoming and the staff Maeva was so nice

Very Filling, Love the Atmosphere the staff Maeva was absolutely brilliant

Thanks Grace for great service!

Go every sunday for the most delicious & value 4 money carvery. Always greeted by staff with a genuine smile as they take yr order. Excellent service. Food is always hot & cooked perfect & chefs are really friendly & carve your choice of meats then you help yrself to delicious veg choice...consistant perfection every week & gravy is delish too. Highly recommend. Toilets also spotless.

I enjoyed a simple vegan burger and chips meal tonight, washed down with a tasty pint. It was tasty and appreciated. But the best thing about the evening was your employee Grace who was extremely helpful, friendly and accommodating. She is a credit to your company. Thank you Jimmy

Service not what I expected I went to the bar for a second coffee and was handed the cup with no saucer or request if I wanted sugar.thevpuzza was amazing although the wait wad a long time

Food and service was of good quality and Muumy Elf who served us in table 33 on 24/11/2024 was fabulous

Thank you Saltdean Tavern for the lovely festive meal for 28 of us today. We had a great time. The food was excellent. The staff were so helpful you all work very hard.

Ok so l have never posted anything like this before..... This morning my partner and I experienced complete and total homophobia and racism from The Saltdean Tavern. Instantly when we walked in, we were given the look of disgust. Blatantly ignored by some woman with brown hair and blonde highlights by the name of Shai or Shaina. Yet when an older WHITE English man came in, she became completely attentive and assisted him instantly with a smile We asked if everything was okay, but she ignored us completely. Avoiding eye contact with us. We asked for the manager, who was totally not prepared to handle the situation. We asked for the name of the employee, but she denied giving it to us. This was entirely a racist and/or homophobic situation and I will not allow this to be swept under the rug.

Great lunch food served quickly and piping hot! Carver charlie was really helpful!! Will return again

Un lugar encantador para comer - el personal es muy amable y acogedor! Pub es muy limpio y ordenado y la comida era encantador y gran relación calidad-precio - recomiendo encarecidamente una visita! Gracias.

Ordering from the bar all good. Had carvery not all meats were available, some veggies were low. All hot and well presented, some sauces not replenished. Overall enjoyed my meal.

Come regularly great food and atmosphere better than the school dinners carvery in p/haven

Amazing food, our servers Grace and Bailey were lovely 10/10 service!!

Grace was absolutely lovely, really friendly and personable, food was delish, just what you want, would definitely come back!

Our waitress was Grace and she was very friendly and attentive. For the price of £6 we had a very tasty roast dinner brilliant value for money.

Great service. Grace was lovely. She was very sweet and helpful and really friendly. Food was good, you get what you pay for.

Great service, Grace was very helpful and friendly and really sweet. Food was good, you get what you pay for. Decent budget meal.

The staff are extremely, efficient professional and friendly. Grace often serves me, her customer service is outstanding!

My wife and I popped out for a £6 carvery, with a special voucher, on Bonfire Night. Lovely meal, with great service from Grace.

Stopped here for a lovely carvery on fireworks night before going to watch them. The warm welcome we received was excellent from trinity who got us seated and told us how it all works. We then ordered food and drinks from our server Grace who looked after us very very well whilst we ate and made sure she helped us with drinks and extra food we ordered on top of the carvery and made sure we enjoyed our meal and everything was ok in a super friendly nice way. I rarely eat at Stonehouse as the last two local ones I ate I’d never ever rush back too but the food here was much better cooked than the other ones and we’d defiantly return. All in all 10/10 from Grace, trinity and a great carvery chef.

Friendly, helpful and efficient service. Carvery food tasty enough but a bit dried out at the in between time we visited (4pm). Will be back.

We enjoyed a quiet Monday evening meal and drink with friends. Grace was very helpful and attentive.

Great atmosphere great food and value . Have visited at different times of year and always enjoyed food and drinks here . Staff always friendly and very helpful too . All family enjoy it here . Table for 4 or 8 no problem . Thank you .

Ordered food this evening dry and awful service shocking cutlery dirty left did not even eat it

Really great food, super tasty and the staff were so lovely and helpful! They couldn’t have done more for us. Big thanks to Grace and all the staff!

Great place, busy, efficient staff, nice food!

Great service by some lovely people. Excellent carvery.

AVOID.. Absolutely shocking. Waited for 15 minutes for somebody to serve us after paying. Queue of people.staff milling about doing what seemed to be very little.woman who took order went in out kitchen smirking. Very rude manner. Eventually gave up hope and got money back at bar. Deserves minus stars. Also noticed how extremely FILTHY it was. AVOID

AVOID… shockingly bad. Rude, mentally vacant staff. Bereft of any customer skills once they have taken your money. Noticed how dirty and tired it is. Borderline squaler.

Good value food and the staff are really attentive and helpful!

Excellent service from Grace she is incredibly helpful polite and an absolute joy to be served by. Keep up the good work Grace

Went for a big family get together here there was a great range of food and drinks available the staff were amazing friendly and very helpful kids were happy with the toys from the ball machines and adults satisfied with everything else highly recommended

The staff were helpful and courteous and the food was good

Good place to get a decent meal at a reasonable price, lots of choice on the menu, clean and tidy

I love going to this restaurant. Food always good.

Gracie was a wonderful waitress for us this evening , very accomodating and knowledgable about the confusing parking system! Knew her wine well , we will DEFINITELY return another time. Beautiful meals!

Lovely carvery and evening with family

I used to love the saltdean tavern it's really gone downhill since I was a kid I came with my partner about 2 months ago for a breakfast thr toast was cold and burnt, sausages were burnt just wasn't a great meal! We thought we would give it another try but this time we came for a roast dinner and safe to say I will be finding somewhere els to eat from now on staff when we arrived here moody and unhappy chef was unhappy and didn't Evan smile, was only carrots and peas for the vegetables that isn't a roast! The potatoes were vile and tasted frozen and rubbery so we didn't eat them thr only thing that tasted gorgeous was the gammon meat it was beautiful I usually don't leave bad reviews but was really disappointed with this service

Close to the seafront and big enough to meet groups of friends.

Really lovely meal with kids, great service (Grace). Very good value & welcoming atmosphere

Food was great, excellent value and our waitress, Grace, was very attentive and friendly.

Lovely food and staff. Just a shame the app don't work properly when we were there but other wise it was good. And a shame some of the pudding were out of stock but other wise was ok

Grace was so lovely and approachable. Always love my weekend breakfast in the tavern

Service from Grace was excellent!

Enjoyed our family carvery, Jasmin was our server doing a great job, very attentive, she was working on her own mostly, so we had to clear our table before sitting, but for the price overall a nice experience. We had to ask for all the sauces to be refilled, they definitely seemed short staffed. Thanks to Jasmin she made it a nice evening. Roasties could be crispier !

We both had the carvery and it was great value for money , we gave a 5 star for both service and atmosphere as we thought grace was exceptionally welcoming and friendly . Well done

Our server Grace was very friendly and helpful, the food was nice and good value for the money.

Very friendly and helpful service and good food

Grace was very helpful and friendly. And food was good. The music creates a nice atmosphere.

Food and service where impeccable but the atmosphere was abit too loud for my liking
