The Garden Bar in Brighton and Hove

So we had booked a table here,there was six of us in total and three dogs… The pub was very busy,as to be expected as the Brighton half marathon had been on and also the FA cup game was showing on the tv’s in the pub. The service was very good and the staff are very friendly and attentive. The food was okay,not overly hot and not that much veg unfortunately. We were all pretty hungry as we had been out all day supporting my sister in law who ran the half marathon. The highlight was Brighton beating Newcastle to reach the quarter finals of the FA cup. My personal opinion,I’ve had better roasts elsewhere. But it was okay…

I came here today for a roast with a friend. We’d pre-booked as I have a really weird allergy to anything capsaicin related so I wanted to give them a heads up beforehand. They reassured me that the meal I’d chosen would be fine to eat. Upon arriving, the chef wasn’t 100% sure if I could definitely eat the gravy so he made me my own gravy which I really highly appreciate and it was absolutely delicious! So a huge thank you for going the extra mile to ensure I could still eat there. We both enjoyed our meals so much, we left nothing on the plate. Our desserts were also super yummy. Alongside this, the staff are so lovely and welcoming, we’ll definitely be back and will be recommending The Garden Bar to others too. A massive thank you from both of us.

30 years since I was last here(long story), too many sad memories, so when my Fam suggested Sunday roast I said why not? What I missed can't be revisited BUT I will be going again and again. Abfab food, great decor, great staff nice vibes. Do not miss this 'ace in the Hove' Disappointment will be experienced if you don't visit soonest...Falmerlad

We rented out part of The Garden Bar for our Wedding Party/Reception. They communicated so well ahead of the event and made sure everything ran smoothy. The BBQ we selected for food was great and they were the perfect space for a relaxed wedding reception. However, we had a guest in a wheelchair and it was rather awkward for them to get inside and outside due to lots of stairs and ramps needing to be used. Unfortunately the toilet doors were also too narrow for a wheelchair which was not ideal for our guest so that is worth noting for any future guests who are in wheelchairs.

Attended baby shower and we all had roasts , the baby shower was great given a section of the bar near garden and the food definitely dud not disappoint , toast was amazing and shall be returning soon

We recently attended a wake here for a close family member. Everything was perfect. So impressed. Several staff waiting behind the bar on arrival to serve drinks for approx 80 people. We had our own reserved area which was great. The food was amazing. Very tasty and plenty of it, Very, very highly recommended for any sort of family’do’. They say the sign of a good wake is if the person would have enjoyed it. It’s true to say that he would have loved it! Thank you Garden Bar.

Fantastic Sunday lunch and excellent service. Delicious extras like cauliflowet cheese, pigs in blanket etc, you really only need 1 extras per couple! Chef came to make sure we were happy with food. What more could you ask for? ! Deffo returning, infact already booked for 6 *
