Once again an excellent visit to the Sussex Arms in Brighton. We come to Brighton every year and always visit the Sussex Arms on more than one occasion each time. This time was again a really pleasant visit. The food was excellent (chef George) and the service from Georgia and Dean also excellent. Sitting at a window table drinking and eating is one of our favourite places to be in Brighton. We also visited during the evening for drinks and this time sat outside to pleasantly take in the square. Excellent.

I placed the order for our food and was told there was a 40 minute wait, which in normal circumstances would be totally acceptable on a busy bank holiday weekend. However, my partner who is diabetic, wasn’t feeling well. When I mentioned this, Katerina made sure that our order was prioritised and checked with us later, to see if he was ok. All the staff were polite, friendly and helpful. The food was very good too!

My wife and I arranged to meet friends from Surrey at The Sussex Arms yesterday (13 August 2023) as it's usually nice to sit outside and listen to the music on Sunday lunchtimes. Last week, I'd looked in to make sure they had some decent beers available - Greene King IPA, Greene King Abbot Ale and St Austell Brewery's Tribute Ale were on, so I went ahead and arranged the meet for Sunday. Come the day there was no band playing music outside (not the pub's fault, I agree) but then I found that the only beer they had was the GK IPA, the other two beers would not be available "for a few days"! I bought a round and we sat in the sun, trying to enjoy ourselves. Unfortunately GK's IPA is not our favourite beer, however. My friend went to buy a second round and the IPA had already finished - it was only about 1:00pm on a Sunday! What kind of pub, in the very centre of Brighton, runs out of beer of a Sunday lunchtime? The fact that I'd recommended the place as a nice meeting venue was embarrassing, to say the least, so needless to say, we won't be going back again, ever.

We always visit this pub when we visit Brighton. It's nice to be able to have the choice (weather permitting) to be able to sit inside or out. On this occasion the weather was poor so we were seated inside. However, the staff were friendly and efficient. We were served by Georgia and Dom and were well looked after. The meals cooked by George were excellent and it was good to get a proper pie (pastry top, bottom and sides) rather than a puff pastry cap. Well done to all three who worked well as a team. We will definitely be back.

Well… where to start… Popped into the Sussex Arms with my parents yesterday, as they’d been there before a few years ago and highly recommended it. Ordered some drinks and food - the lady behind the bar was very nice, and did warn us that it’d be a bit slow today. Not a problem, we thought, as the food would make up for it. During our 40-minute wait, we noticed how tired the pub looks. Chairs that have the padding ripped, leather upholstery which has split and showing the stuffing. Toilets which are absolutely filthy around the sinks. Well, at least the food will make up for it. When the food arrived at last, it was almost inedible. I’m not a complainer generally, but BBQ chicken was served in a sauce which was completely congealed, and hung off a fork like a stalactite. Both ends of the tiny chicken fillet were so rock solid that I couldn’t cut through them; it tasted as if it had been microwaved, and then put on a hot plate for much too long. Chips which fell apart when you tried to fork them. Meal two: a chicken and bacon sandwich which contained no bacon, and a couple of small slivers of chicken, the size of which was comparable to a flaky cat food. So basically a coleslaw sandwich, in very dry bread. Meal three: a pie which my dad described as “edible”, accompanied by those weird collapsing chips. Though he’s woken up today with an upset stomach, so perhaps not so edible. The nice lady behind the bar asked us if our meal was okay, and to be honest, we were too embarrassed to make a scene in front of the other customers. But we left the moment we’d put our defeated knives and forks down. Like I said, I’m not a complainer; I don’t generally leave reviews unless it’s for something positive. I have had many an underwhelming meal, and just written it off as one of those things. But this was just unforgivably bad, and we felt like we’d been mugged. Maybe it was just a bad day, given that other reviewers have been positive, but be warned that it was genuinely terrible on this day. Management: please don’t offer me the chance to come back and try your food again, because I really don’t want to.

Got to Brighton just before October lock down stayed at the Grand hotel, on the Sunday looking for a Sunday Roast, phoned a few places pubs/restaurants but either booked or last orders at 15:00. Ventured down to the Sussex for a few drinks and sitting outside the pub noticed on the board said Sunday roast, so asked about it and served till they run out so booked our table for the roast at 19:00 and surprised by the amount of food on the plate potatoes done perfect crispy on the outside fluffy on the inside loads of beef on the plate and plenty of veg, and good value for the amount of food. You have to check in on the pub website if your going to sit in the pub. You could only use table service but nothing new. Great pub with location just at the end of the lanes.

We had a lovely meal at The Sussex Arms om Sunday night as a family of four. Even our normally fussy 5-year old ate all his food. We chose this pub after my husband and I went to Brighton just the two of us in the Summer for drinks here. We really enjoyed it and felt safe as, on both occasions, all the current rules were in place.

Gross. Continually serving parties well into the double figures filling their venue with idiots drinking pints and not even attempting to order significant meals. Wanted to dine but couldn’t get past the 15+ family party outside coughing all over their pints and wines, way above what would be considered proportionate to their meals.It’s places like this which is why we’re all still in the mess this Christmas. Do your bit Greene King or have blood on your hands. Want to kill your Nan this Christmas? Make sure you stop here first. Ended up going to a neighbouring restaurant instead who are strictly adhering to the guidelines and actually care, how refreshing.

Las bebidas y el servicio fueron excelentes y no dudaría en volver a visitar aquí.El único inconveniente es que los baños tenían un olor a humedad, pero por lo demás estaban muy limpios y también se ofrece gel para las manos.Se encuentra en una ubicación fácil de encontrar junto a las calles y a pocos pasos de la playa.

Haven’t visited a restaurant for quite a while so was really looking forward to a decent Sunday roast and they didn’t disappoint. We booked table over the phone to make sure they were doing a roast. Lady was very helpful. Once we arrived we were told the new procedures, out table was clean and ready. We felt safe and were happy to stay. I had the roast beef and hubby had a burger. The roast was lovely, fresh vegetables, yummy potatoes and four generous slices of beef. It was lovely. Hubby burger with bacon and cheese was really good. We used the app to order which was easy to do. Will definitely visit again when back in lovely Brighton.

I dont expect fresh home cooking from a pub but I do expect my food to be decent. I ordered steak and kidney pudding with mash poatoes and veg. The pastry and veg were ok but the mash was stodgy and dry and most of the meat in the pie contained gristle and hardly any kidney. I was asked by bar person if everything was ok but this was before I had tried the pudding and mash. I left most of the pudding and mash and was not asked if there was anything wrong when the plate was removed later.The toilets were very cramped .

Most of the pubs weren’t showing any rugby but we found the Sussex and it’s big screen! Breakfast was excellent and the pub has a great selection of beers. However the most impressive thing about this pub is the staff. Steve & Elle were brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble for these two. We watched the England game on Saturday. They weren’t planning to open up for the Wales game on Sunday but they agreed to because they knew we hade a welsh contingent in our party.

However, I was very impressed with the fish and chips, not swimming in fat, but clean tasting and a generous portion. Not a bad place to watch sporting events, a huge screen sits over the West facing window and picture quality very good. Of the hundreds of pubs in Brighton this one is a safe bet.

This is one of our local pubs, have not been for Sunday lunch in a while. It was always a small portion but tasty, just left and what a disappointing meal. Went for the mor expensive chicken and roast beef lunch, when it arrived it looked like a plate of aunt Bessie’s food. Yes you guessed it, tasteless no fresh veg, peas and carrots, dry chicken pre sliced beef, not even the fat had any taste. Poor watery gravy, had to ask for some more as the stuffing and the Yorkshire was rock hard. Thick gravy arrived ah granulated Bisto, dissapioted, will still go back for the drinks and atmosphere but will avoid the food.

Dropped in for mulled cider, a beer and some pub food. Serves are generous and food is good standard....you may have to vie for a table after about 4:30pm. It can get quite crowded. Loved it.

7 of us met up for lunch, staff friendly, service prompt. A lot of items were not available on the menu but overall not bad. I had scampi, friends had steak,although only rump available on the day we visited.

Went to this pub for a quick lunch and drink and thought the warm welcome from Elle on the bar was great. After my meal arrived which was good, Steve also came over for a friendly chat which was also great as it alleviating the awkwardness of being there solo. Would definitely recommend, seems the staff have got the place working perfectly.

I popped in here on a whim, and to my surprise I was greeted by a lovely gentleman named Steve. He took a moment to say Hello and have a brief conversation with me while pouring our drinks.

Great atmosphere, the manager Steve was friendly and provided a great timely service. Would definitely recommend for a drink in between shopping and for an evening meal.

Entré para salir de la lluvia un sábado por la tarde, solo tomaba unas copas, pero el personal era amable y servicial, el vino era frío y excelente, una buena selección de cervezas. Gran lugar para mantenerse fuera de la lluvia y relajarse por una hora o así!

Well, what can I say? I truly superb night out in a truly fantastic pub. We spent last Saturday afternoon watching the darts at The Brighton Center, our flight back to Vienna was on Sunday, and we were still thirsty. Thankfully we found this wonderful pub. I think we should thank all the staff and customers who tolerated us (I think some people even enjoyed our singing). The beer was delicious, the service outstanding, and we met so many very friendly people. It was the perfect end to a perfect weekend. Thank you everyone, and our best wishes now we are back in Austria. I hope you like the pics!

This is the 2nd pub we have eaten in since arriving from Australia a week a go and the 2nd pub that has “run” out of food listed on the menu. We find it hard to understand how you run out of food. The baked potatoes were ok, but a but dry even with the filling. The bangers and mash were nice but the dish was filled with far to many peas. Order of chicken wings, tasty but received only 3. Hunters chicken was enjoyed.

Came here for a quick drink and a bite to eat on a Monday afternoon, at the bar the staff member rather curtly announced that our choice of sharing meal on the menu was not available and they do not offer any smaller portions of our child’s chosen sausage and chips, only what’s on the “children’s menu” which was nowhere to be seen. We then reselcted from three meal options and upon delivering the meal he (young (ish) male in snazzy shirt) practically threw the plate on our table saying nothing, offering no condiments or cutlery whilst barking at another nearby guest who’d asked him kindly if he could clear their dirty table announcing he was “literally doing a million things at once” it was not even half full with paying guests so I found this shocking service which is a shame because the pub is in a really nice setting and has the potential to be a great place if only they could employ some decent staff. I’m giving two stars based on the location otherwise it would be zero

We were a party of 2 families of 4. We ordered food one after the other. The first lot of food came out no problem, it was tasty, no complaints. We finished but there was no sign of the food for the 2nd part of the party. My brother in law politely asked how long the food would be. The girl behind the bar rudely told him 3 people ordered in front of him,which wasn’t true as there were only 2 bar staff and him and my husband ordering. We waited another 10 minutes and I went asked nicely how long the food would be. The girl behind the bar decided to play up to the men sat round the bar and mock me for asking, she was rude and sarcastic still playing the other people had ordered card. We left without 4 of our party eating. I’ve never received such bad service. Avoid the place. I’ve no doubt our version of events will be challenged

My partner and I came to the Sussex Arms for one drink... and stayed there for entire evening. Lovely old pub and very warm and welcoming atmosphere. Their selection of gins is absolutely fantastic! Alex recommended us their new violet gin - it was perfectly served and tasted absolutely gorgeous! I also gave a go to strawberry and cream gin with eldeflower tonic... and when you start... you can't stop! Give a try at least once!

A great location but sadly very over priced and poorly trained staff. ie asked for a G & T and rather than having a bottle of tonic to add myself he pored all it in the drink, also seemed to think it ok to pick his nose and wrap his hand over the top of the pint glass when giving to me rather than hold the bottom. Ok not life or death but just shows lack of training.

Nice little pub friendly bar staff but shame it's a "Green King". Over priced drinks but that's Green King for you. Sorry I called it a "fullers" in previous review. Its great I get a GReen King IPA in a Green King pub and its more than twice the price than GReen King IPA in Wetherspoons!!! Work that out, I cannot. You own the beer FFS

This place does really nice sandwiches - nice bread, and good fresh ingredients - can't be beaten on value in Kemp Town. However the interior needs a rethink, wouldn't necessarily eat it, but perfect for takeaway sandwiches.

Took my mum, who is in a wheelchair, out for breakfast. Arrived before 11:30 but had to wait for them to clear the lift of stock before we could get seated. Once seated no one came to give us a menu or take our order. After going back downstairs to get two menus, back up to get my mum’s order and back downstairs to order I was told that it had past 11:30 and we couldn’t order breakfast! When I pointed out that the lunch menu doesn’t start until 12 she said “we’ve got cake”. But I don’t want cake. She shrugged. I said “we’ll have to go elsewhere then.” To which she said “Fine” and turned away. I’m only glad that they are obviously doing well enough to lose customers over a couple of minutes!

We arrived on a Saturday afternoon for a pre-booked afternoon tea for a group of girls (5 of us and a baby). To start off with the staff could not work out which room our afternoon tea was in, so started off in the wrong room. Tea was served but with no introduction on what was being served i.e. what were in the sandwiches or cakes. We asked on e of the servers but they did not know and came back with a piece of paper with different items written on it for us to decipher what was what. The bread on the sandwiches tasted old and not fresh and overall i am afraid service was poor. A disappointing visit on what promised to be a elegant afternoon tea at a well known hotel, would not return.
