The Gather Inn in Brighton and Hove

It has a great vibe in a fantastic location. I would definitely recommend this pub. I will absolutely be coming back for food as the menu looks fab.

Worst Sunday Roast! No roast veg! Potatoes and cabbage! Pork is a one big piece of fat! Disgusting food! I U want lost your time and money it’s place for this!

The music is great firstly, I’d like not to end up deaf while having my lunch so it was perfect. Also we were lucky with the playlist it’s amazing. For wise, I had the burger buffalo souljah and it was amazing. Great taste, hot, amazing sauce and great chips. My family had the jerk chicken and BBQ chicken and both were amazing. The plantain is tasty, the chicken is wonderfully cooked and glazed, a spectacular experience. Bring your child (if they’re quiet), bring your friends or your lover and you’ll have the best time.

Lovely friendly service, good portion sizes and excellent value for money. Open kebab was full of flavour but be warned it is a tongue tingling hot dish but it is carribean food after all. Cajun cod was delicious. Would visit again and recommend.

Awesome service loved the Shiraz will be back to enjoy the amazing Caribbean food. Great local I will be back

Great service and friendly atmosphere. Good food and great entertainment. The food menu is also very good.

Becky and Olivia were great! They went over and above for me and my friends to ensure we had a great day! They have wonderful vibes and ensured we had a fab day out! The room was clean and tidy and exactly what we needed

Had the jerk chicken. It was so flavoursome. Best pub meal I've had for ages, good sized portion as well. Would highly rate the food and definitely would go back. Service was lovely too.

Beautiful staff gorgeous food lovely destination east parking clean tidy hotels very reasonably priced

Have just sampled their new menu. As a vegetarian I normally have difficulty finding any thing to choose but the new Caribbean menu means I will be coming back for more. Tasty food with a genuine Trinidadian feel Will certainly be repeating the experience.

A lovely spot on the seafront. I just had drinks but it was good to see they have vegan options so I’ll be back!

Came with friends with a banging hangover ! I had the Bangers and Mash which was delicious, nice wine selection and good service

Staff was amazing and very helpful. Woukd definitely vistit again. Food is worth a try, had the fish pie and is incredible Would bring family and friends here

Lovely well decorated place, food is reasonably priced. Recommended for anyone. Bar staff are very jolly and helpful, they make the place feel like home !!

Having had a great stay at this pub over Christmas when visiting family I visited for Sunday Roast with wife, daughter and 2 children. The pub was full with all tables occupied and I had not booked. The staff upon request for a table were ultra helpful and despite being busy adjusted a corner and created a table for us. As it was Sunday, only Roasts were being served. After ordering drinks table service we ordered our lunches. These arrived within 15 minutes. Being rather a critic of Sunday Pub lunches I did not know what to expect. All I can say is WOW!! The roasts were superb in every aspect. I could go on and on about this pub but the proof is in the eating. A must if you are visiting Brighton. And by the way, the accommodation is also very good.

The Gather Inn is a lovely sea view bar/restaurant with a gorgeous summer view, great prices and genuinely lovely staff; not to mention the roast was perhaps one of the best I’ve had in the local area without question. Gemma and Tania have a friendly aura about them who go above and beyond to make it an atmospheric, welcoming place to spend one’s time. Couldn’t recommend enough. P.s. shout out to Becky who has become my favourite bar woman through her charm, wit and accommodating persona.

My friend and I held a joint 50th birthday party in the downstairs bar and had the catering provided. Fantastic space to hold an event and the minimum bar spend was achievable. Maria was super helpful with all the arrangements and helped us really enjoy the night as things ran smoothly.

We came in as we needed to charge our phone and the two lovely girls behind the bar were very kind and friendly. They let us charge our phone so we could go back to work delivery driving. We then stayed for a drink as it was a very nice place and the atmosphere was good, they had a quiz night and asked if we wanted to join in, we will definitely come back again.

Great pub with fantastic staff, a cracking Sunday roast and the quiz night is always a good laugh! I hope to be in the area again soon.

First time in The Gather Inn for a long time and have quite obviously been missing out! Beautiful refurb, excellent cocktails and Maria - the new assistant manager was just so so lovely!!! So friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. Will definitely be back ASAP! Thanks Maria!

Five of us met for a Sunday roast and had a table with a great view of the lagoon. Really great roast, lots to eat with a nice variety of vegetables and the beef was amazing. We all then stayed for sticky toffee pudding. Very...

Had a lovely birthday trip to Sussex stayed at the gather inn it was friendly and room was lovely very helpful bar staff were friendly and relaxed atmos all in all a great stay and fantastic value

We had a brilliant birthday party in the Seaview bar for my mothers 90th Birthday. The room was really well suited for mixed ages plenty of space for seating and mingling. The outside space was a bonus The staff and owners could not have been...

We went there for a family lunch. Whilst the decor was nice and staff were friendly, the food was some of the worst food I’ve eaten out and incredibly overpriced. Soggy fish and old chips. Burger cooked to death with a sad old bun. We...

Can't comment on the food as we didn't get any. Waited 35 minutes for garlic bread and chips. It was after 2pm the restaurant upstairs was almost empty. Won't be calling again.

We have just enjoyed a very lovely, leisurely lunch. The staff are great & very helpful. They have gluten-free beer which isn’t always available. I think the chef’s name is Hosini & would like to thank him for a delicious roast! My daughter loved the...

Without a doubt this was the most overpriced place I know. Very expensive for the worst meal I’ve ever had Never to repeat

Just had a lovely Sunday lunch very tasty, homemade gravy was delicious, friendly staff good location, would definitely recommend this place. 😀

Nice interior with a view over the lagoon, polite staff. However found the menu limited and the food was disappointing. Had a fish burger and found lots of bones in the fish which was a shame.

We've been visiting The Gather Inn for many years now and it never disappoints. The staff and service are always fantastic and very welcoming and the food is brilliant. pre-lockdown it was our go-to for a roast dinner but during the 'Eat Out to Help...

Eaten hear before and they used to have lovely food and great menu ,this time very very different, clearly not the same chef .Very disappointng as great setting and friendly staff.

Really excellent lunch, fabulously friendly staff. Very plain frontage hides a little gem of a pub. We were a mix of meat eaters and veggies and there was something to please everyone- highly recommended!

We had a fabulous Sunday roast - the plantation pork was really special and the vegetables were fresh and perfectly cooked. Service was excellent and there was a good range of craft beers and cider. Perfect for families and couples - a friendly atmosphere.

We have been for a roast here a few times and it is always good, however today we didn’t fancy the roast so ordered other meals. It seems as though the roasts are great but nothing else is. The children’s meals in particular were a...

Had my 60th birthday party in the downstairs function room at The Gather Inn in Hove last Saturday night. The events managers Tania and Gemma were great - helpful, efficient and professional. The venue is ideal for a party with it's own entrance, bar and catering and an upstairs mezzanine area with tables and chairs and space for dancing. On the night, I was pleased with the appearance of the room which looked welcoming, with lovely Xmas decorations and twinkling lights, food and welcome drinks beautifully laid out ready for my guests. A word of advice to anyone booking this venue is that if you're having lots of guests (30+), and you definitely want to be able to dance rather than just have background music, you should hire a DJ and sound equipment. With 60 - 80 guests we struggled to hear the music over the din of the celebrations. Apart from this, I'd give top marks to the venue, all of the staff were so helpful and went out of their way to give good service.

Staff will go above and beyond for you without even asking. Food is so fresh and cooked perfectly, cannot fault and will be back again.

A family roast late Sunday afternoon was great. Heritage carrots, great Yorkshire’s, plenty of veg, crispy roast potatoes, slightly pink beef and crunchy pork crackling on the pork.We opted for an extra side of stuffing , unfortunately the pigs in blankets were sold out, next time we will order the cauliflower cheese which the staff say it there favourite.Portions are large even for children, not one of the 4 of us had a compliant will definitely return for the food.

Absolutely gorgeous Sunday lunch, vegetables were perfectly cooked. Scrummy cauliflower cheese! Massive Yorkshires! Could do with sharper knives for the beef, but was absolutely scrummy. Lovely pub too with nice views and friendly staff

Onze lunch hier was prima. Alles heerlijk op smaak en zeer betaalbaar. Het is misschien niet de gezelligste zaak maar het eten is puur en lekker! De toiletten hebben een opknapbeurt nodig!

The Private Function Room area was perfect for the occasion with good Bar service and an excellent Finger Buffet.The presentation and variation of the freshly made savoury selection was extremely impressive as were the delicious selection and flavour of the truly exceptional freshly baked cakes,which really was 'THE ICING ON THE CAKE'. Cheers, Peter

This little gem is a family run guest house with a pub and restaurant attached. It is big smiles and warm welcomes as soon as you walk in the front door. The hosts fill the whole place with a happy atmosphere through beautiful hospitality and personal touches in all the right places. The rooms are spotlessly clean and the beds super comfy. The service is professional, warm and attentive. The convenience of the attached public bar and the standard of the restaurant food make a stay here an absolute pleasure. It’s also close to Brighton Pier and The Laneways. Would definitely recommend The Gather Inn!

We’d been recommended the food here and came for Sunday lunch last week. It was excellent. All three of us had the perfectly cooked belly of free range plantation pork complete with melt in the mouth crackling served with a delicious selection of fresh vegetables and roast potatoes that were golden and crunchy outside and soft inside. We were all set to have one of the lovely options for dessert (imagine treacle tart with clotted cream and raspberry compote!), but sadly were too full. However, I did absorb some of the fabulously imaginative and original dishes on the specials menu besides the choices for Sunday lunch. We will be back!

It was lovely warm Sunday evening so we decided to try this pub for the first time this week and have some snacks and wine.

Really enjoyed our delicious lunch - the Caesar salad was delicious. Really liked the use of great interesting china to serve the food on rather than traditional plain white plates. Good vegan options too. Staff were very friendly. We all ate outside and looked across to the lagoon.

We booked one Room and ended up with two billings on our creditcard. But when we arrived we only got one room, one key to it and nothing else.. But after we went off "OH there were two reservations on your name, we will bill the other room" . And after several mails, you only got e-mails signed with "The Management" not even a Name ... that ist what fraud looks like. Also loud and stinky.

Came here for lunch on Sunday as they are always advertising their 'excellent roasts' on social media. Staff were friendly and premises were clean- although decor is not great - lots of tacky looking plastic plants around, new white plastic windows don't match the building, etc. It's just not very tasteful.

Came in yesterday without booking a table on the off chance of seeing if there was availability for a roast for my other half and some nibbles for myself. I was immediately greeted by who I believe was the manager, who was more than happy to cater for us. She passed us over too a young girl, who said she was new and was worried she’d forget the menu - she didn’t and was happy to cater for our needs since I only wanted a starter with sides! The atmosphere was excellent and both ladies who I had interaction with are most certainly an asset to your business with their enthusiasm and encouraging smiles even on a busy day. I will be back again soon and will definitely be recommending to anybody who asks.

Had some nice Sunday roasts here but today was not good. Pork was very fatty, beef was fatty (2 slices for £17.00) only good thing was the very tasty veg & the hard working waitress! I don't mind paying £60.00 + for 4 roast but i do expect more meat than fat. Will I return ? Nah.

Thank you very much for making our stay with you a very pleasant experience, from reception staff who went above and beyond, to bar staff who accommodated a very fussy customer, food was exceptional as I would of expected from a first class establishment

This is the third time we have visited here, and we just love it!

We stayed here for a night last Saturday after going to a gig in Brighton, the room rate was excellent and we booked breakfast as well. We were really pleased with the free parking outside the hotel, this was a big bonus. Everyone was very friendly on reception, we walked into Brighton which is a really nice walk. The room was en-suite, not flash, but spotlessly clean and had everything you needed. We had a drink in the bar after the gig, it was very quiet, but the girl behind the bar was lovely and we had a nice evening. Breakfast was amazing, one of the best we have had in a long time. All in all a very nice night away!!

I have recently returned from. 2 nights here and I can quite honestly say it's one of the worst places I've stayed I even contemplated sleeping in my car.

I attended wedding party in the downstairs area which is lovely. The staff were fantastic BUT when we started dancing i realised there was no ventilation. The windows couldn't open and i'm sure many guests went home dehydrated. They need to sort this out.

Friendly place with reasonably priced drinks and various deals throughout the week. It's also a B&B; so they so meals for all occasions but I've never eaten here although friends that have say the Sunday roast is excellent.

We enjoyed an excellent Sunday roast here yesterday, all the trimmings and perfectly cooked. We had a table that overlooked the lagoon in the light airy dining area. Bar staff were friendly and helpful. Lovely family run business, we shall definitely return, thank you.

Having just moved to Hove, we were looking for a nice place for our first Sunday roast out and about as a family.

Well where do I start ..... staff amazing great location and the food is sublime will definitely be coming back Thank you for a great experience

Full English breakfast was huge, really tasty meals, good bar that was well stocked, coffee and tea always available. Brilliant, helpful, friendly staff.

Happened to chance upon this treasure of a place near Portslade/ Hove Lagoon on Brighton Road the other day. Quite a chilled out place to have a few drinks at, and overlooking Hove Lagoon, what more would you want! And you wouldn’t believe it, their food is just HEAVENLY! With an amazing view overlooking the lagoon, good music to groove to, decently priced drinks and mouthwatering food, what more could you ask for! I had the garlic bread with cheese my first time around, and the chicken burger, and both of these were TRULY AMAZING! The staff who were around, Becs and Marshall, were both quite chilled out, cheerful, helpful and friendly. My second time here, and I see myself coming here more often! I would definitely recommend The Gather Inn to anyone in the vicinity because you’re definitely bound to have a good time while you’re here! :)

I love revisiting this place especially on a Sunday for a roast. It is consistently good with great views over the Lagoon.

We recently visited for a birthday meal for 20 people including 7 over excited children. We probably had every item on the menu and the food was delicious. Of course we pre ordered to ensure there was no delay and there was no issues when the food arrived everything was as per our order. Desert was delightful, chocolate brownie was amazing!

First visit and wasn’t disappointed. We specifically went for a Sunday roast. Food was plentiful and very tasty. Four vegetables, meat, potatoes and Yorkshire pudding, also stuffing and gravy. Phew we were very full afterwards. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Would recommend.

My family and I, that included 5 adults and one child, all had a fantastic meal on Mothers day.. Between us we had the chicken, beef brisket, pork belly and a burger and it was all cooked to perfection!.. The staff are very friendly, helpful and polite and the food came very quickly and piping hot! Delicious meal indeed! would highly recommend..

Very clean and tidy room with coffee making facilities, constant hot water and a good shower. Nice warm room, bonus this time of year. Friendly staff on hand if needed. We went mid-week which was fine sleep wise but come Friday sleep was disturbed by noisy guests above. Appreciate this is no reflection on owners.

Visited with the family and the dog for an early evening dinner. Really friendly staff even brought water bowl for dog!

we stayed here over the weekend and Saturday night we were kept awake all night by a drunk party going on until 3pm even after the party was told to be quite they just kept on.

Good range of food but some specials sold out. For was well presented and tasty. Party of 10 we had most things on the menu. Mine was Surf and Turf with salad instead of chips. Limited number of deserts could do with a few more.

We dined here Saturday 15th Jul... New Chef, new menu. The food was excellent 2 of our party had the sea bass.. the sauce was so tasty. looks good , tasted good Service with a smile , would we go back .. Yes

Looking forward to a good English breakfast before we set of only to find the best thing on the menu was a toastie.

Una cosa buena sobre este pub era el vino blanco chenin blanc Jackalberry. Empezamos con el pescado entrante goujons (como anteriormente eran encantadores) esta vez les envió como eran incomibles debido a que correoso, insípido y frío (me pareció que habían dejado de hace unos...

Mi esposa y yo estábamos dando un paseo el domingo por la mañana en el Hove Mar y decidimos probar el desayuno se reúnen en el Inn de la Hove Laguna. Fue ideal al caminar sobre el mar. Excelente relación calidad-precio.

Comimos aquí en noviembre y fue tremenda. Por desgracia más recientemente y no era muy bueno. Menú ha cambiado y no es tan atractivo y la comida era bastante normalito.

La habitación estaba limpia y ordenada, instalaciones de bebidas calientes en la habitación (aunque caldera podría ropa desincrustante) y toallas en la habitación, instalaciones de ducha era excelente. Aparcamiento gratuito fuera del hotel. Al lado de una bahía de algunas descripciones, así que es genial para caminar. El personal era muy servicial. Nos alojaremos de nuevo tenía una gran noche de sueño

El Inn se ha convertido en una reunirse lugar favorito para mí. Como he estado yendo su por más de 2 años. La comida siempre ha sido increíble y los chefs han sido siempre atentos, ya que tengo una intolerancia del trigo.

Friendly staff. However, we weren't impressed with breakfast. It wasn't good at all. £7 worth for breakfast that wasn't worth that, I'm afraid to say. Mine was fine, but my mum didn't enjoy hers. She ordered pouched egg on toast which was so dry!! No butter was provided. That definitely wasn't worth the money she paid. We waited over half an hour to eat and there were only two other couples there besides us, so I don't know why it took so long for a bit of toast and some fried bits of food to come along. Another good point was the free parking. The place isn't too far from the shopping centre, but if you want to go there for the day, maybe stay at a B&B closer to the shops. Also, I would eat elsewhere due to bad service and food value.

Don't eat breakfast here. Food was dreadful and everything seemed extremely unclean. Was so bad I sent it back. Felt sorry for the waitress as I had to keep complaining. Also - who includes goose fat potatoes on their Christmas veggie option?!

Good value breakfast - and also it's the first place you can stop on the seafront, driving out of Brighton, with no parking restrictions!

Me and my partner had lunch here on a Friday and the restaurant/ bar was relatively quite, we picked a table ordered a drink and food,ribs for wife & ribeye steak medium rare for me, food was served within 20 minutes and was delicious, steak perfectly cooked as was the Cajun ribs both came with French fries and a sauce.Reasonably priced at £35 for two with the drinks.Friendly staff and easy parking.A good local find, very enjoyable.

We had lunch here on a blustery autumn day after a bracing walk on the beach. Three mains and large soft drinks cost only £35, which is great value for money for the quality of the food. The chilli and enchilladas were both excellent. The burger was a little dry, but that's the only criticism. Lots of space for us and our (very welcome) dogs. It's worth a short journey along the coast to avoid Brighton's overcrowding and prices.

I spend most lunch times here and am even considering using the venue for my engagement party. The managers here are lovely, as are the staff. Each day they make me feel more and more accommodated. I feel these days "regulars" have been lost but with this place, they will always know you're name, have your favourite things ready and always served with a chat and a smile. That is what I call service.Each time I have eaten here, the food has been wonderful. My favourite pub in portslade & hove.

Had an amazing Sunday lunch there - lovely roasts with all the trimmings! I had the slow cooked beef brisket and it really was delicious; sooo tender. And the portions were a very good size too. Staff were really great; very friendly and helpful.

Beware of creating your own breakfast! at no time did the staff say that I would be charged individually for items! £22.70, We had a regular breakfast £7.25 and I had 2 sausages, 2 bacon, 2 black pudding with mushrooms. At no time did they say or advise, We are very local and would have become regulars. Not impressed.

This is a nice old pub near to Hove Lagoon where there is a park, huge free children's playground with paddling pool and lots of other activities. There is an upstairs and downstairs bar, both with seaviews and an outside patio area. The staff are really friendly and helpful and we had a great Sunday lunch upstairs. We chose the 9hrs roasted brisket which comes unsliced and belly pork with crackling. Both were really tasty and good sized portions, plus the gravy was really nice and they offered a separate jug. We would definitely recommend it and will go again.

The food was yummy and the staff were very friendly. It was quite loud in the restaurant but that's to be expected on a Friday night. I would not recommend the accommodation. It was quite rundown, and most of the rooms are at the front. The room we were in was right on the main road and there was no air con or fan, so we had to leave the window open. Which meant we had a very noisy night, and cigarette smoke coming through the window all night.

We booked 2 rooms here for the Goodwood festival of speed weekend, simply because everywhere was full. The price seemed reasonable at £80 a night per couple, so we went ahead.The pub was well positioned right by the seafront.The onsite parking that was mentioned in the booking information is clearly wrong, as we were directed to the nearby side streets. Only some of them are free parking so you have to take your chances a bit.We were given one of the two 'identical' rooms.Cosy would be the polite word. The double bed pretty much filled the room. The bathroom door was at the foot of the bed and could only open about 30% before it hit the bed.The shower door didn't close properly, and the shower itself couldn't decide whether it wanted to be hot or cold, so we showered as quickly as possible to try and minimise the scolding that occurred occasionally.We also had an issue with the flush on the toilet, but persevered and finally got it to take the deposits away.Only one of the Windows would open and that was only about 6inches before it would slide closed again.The bed was comfortable and there was a decent Tv in the room.However, around 5am the pipe chorus would begin. This looks like an old pub and the pipes sound like the original ones!The banging and clunking was very loud and persisted for several hours. Thank god for earplugs on night 2!When we saw our friends room we became aware they were not identical and their bathroom was away from the bed so they could actually get in.Breakfast was not included and we went elsewhere for it so can't comment.The drinks in the bar seemed a little pricey but I suppose you are in a prime location.I wouldn't return to stay to be honest unless I was in a similar position of everywhere else being full.

Great bed and breakfast, clean and in fab location. Staff were lovely and helpfull with local information.

We booked this Guest House through Booking.com. It came up as the cheapest. The reception staff were very helpful as were the bar staff. The rooms were very clean. However, the windows did not stay open and a plank of wood was supplied to prop up one of the windows in the double room. It was very warm the night we stayed so you needed to open the window, but the road noise is very loud. There was no soap in any of the 3 bathrooms that we booked not even to wash your hands after the toilet. No fire escape notice but there was a blank frame that we presume at some point had something in it. If you just want a bed for the night it was acceptable.

Stopped for Sunday lunch, prompt efficient service from smiley, chatty staff.Amazing tasty food, presented beautifully, thanks :) x

We had a great lunch out in this splendid dog-friendly pub. The kind hostess brought our drinks to the table. We each had ribs - very tasty indeed and huge portions! It's rare to come away from a seaside pub with such a warm feeling. I can't recommend it highly enough, and look forward to going back soon.

ive been here a few times with my parents for a roast and last weekend found out they are super dog friendly, even providing them bowls of water. the roast are delicious and the service really friendly,

Lovely Sunday Roast, definitely recommend booking a table as the place was pretty full. We had beef brisket and pork belly with crackling and both roasts were served with a good selection of vegetables, yorkshire pud and stuffing. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back if in the area again.

Slow cooked beef brisket and a lovely piece of pork with great crackling. Served with freshly cooked (not over cooked) veg and a crispy Yorkshire pudding. Decent size portion too. Staff are friendly and attentive. Lovely.

The food was nice enough but the staff seemed to be run off their feet and having to deal with food and bar. Not the first time either. Great service from the over worked staff.

excellent food, all home cooked and very generous portions, excellent service, excellent staff, a special mention to Tanya and surroundings, would definitely recommend and would return

Fantastic roast and great service... Highly recommend. They offer accommodation to so great for a staycation.. Only 5 minutes from the city centre.

I love this place, it's right next to the Lagoon, great for parking and it's very chilled out. It's very clean, been here a few times just for a drink at the weekends but today we stopped in and went for a lovely Roast after eyeing up someone's else last week ( feeling jealous too) It was so yummy! I had the belly of pork and my mate had the beef brisket. I will have to try the lighter menu soon too as it looks pretty decent. Local food which is always nice. What's not to like?

Went fir Sunday lunch, vegetables were almost raw, gravy was salt and the meat, potatoes and Yorkshire kidding were overdone.

After arriving to find a heavily soiled toilet ,we dined in the restaurant,had a couple of drinks and retired to bed,only to be woken and told to come back downstairs to settle up as this is their policy,even though the bar maid said we could settle up on departure.On the day of leaving ,just before 10am nobody was manning the desk so we couldn't settle up our bar tab,so a few days later i phoned to ask for a copy of the invoice and was rudely told this is not policy.Therefore i still have no idea of how much has been taken off my card.The gather inn is a very unprofessionally run buissness. Rooms very tatty,old uncomfortable beds,shared bathrooms,a b&b with no breakfast on a monday, Steer well clear of this place to avoid serious dissapointment

great hotel at a good price and a really good location for Brighton. Off road car parking a real bonus too.

Lousy food hot beer ugly pub old and dirty decor. The food is greasy oily basic bad food. Uncomfortable chairs and table - don't go there.
