The Market Inn in Brighton and Hove

Below average pub, food took ages to arrive.

Nice buzzing atmosphere, cosy, good standard pub food.

Stayed here 3 nights, nice room, short walk to Brighton pier and pavilion.

A great traditional pub that sells a good local bitter.

Only had a drink in the pub, good service, friendly.

Great location. Friendly staff. Cheap drinks. But lots of loud people there when we visited, lots of bad language in front of our son which they thought was hilarious but I didn't so we left

Absolute gem of a pub. Great staff, good prices

The location is excellent, right in The Lanes, the room was comfortable and spacious. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast is served in your room, which made it a bit more special.

We went to the restaurant to eat Fish and Chips, and we discovered that the fish and cooked with Bear which is not convenient for Muslims.

Went there for some food and the service was rlly good. Got our food and drinks quick and it was scrummy.

Room was decent and clean but what I would have expected for the price. Breakfast delivered to the room was brilliant!

Lovely time capsule pub, really nice pint in a traditional setting. Staff are really on the case with excellent service.

My first taste of Brighton has been The Market Inn and I must say that it has become my favourite place to enjoy a sumptuous meal. Precise, no-frills, honest and unassuming traditional meals that pack a flavourful punch. Refreshing range of spirits abound in a very cosy, homely ambience. They also screen match days which is an added bonus. Honestly, cannot speak highly enough of this place. May it enjoy success, endure and endear for a long time. A refreshing oasis of simplicity in this brutally flimsy, deranged and rushed world.

Standard old school pub. Standard old school meals. But that's what I like!

Loved staying here. The hosts were very accommodating and the breakfasts were both fabulous. Thank you.

A nice pub in the Lanes. Wonderful to sit outside, if the weather permits it. Inside is just like any other English pub, so nothing special, but just as the way it should be. A very welcoming nice lady greeted med when I entered the pub.

Stayed for two nights. The room was great and the breakfast was lovely. Nice pub downstairs too.

The best nachos I’ve had while in UK. The fish and chips wasn’t great, the batter was wet and fish didn’t taste of much. Fried mushrooms were ok but lacked seasonings.

Stayed here two night with my partner and we loved it. The food is excellent and the people are lovely, highly recommended.

The most welcoming pub in Brighton. Great food and atmosphere. Nothing is too much trouble. Scarlett and John have been fantastic, helpful and friendly. We’ll definitely be back in the summer. Thank you! X

My family enjoyed an excellent pub lunch in this traditional pub in The Lanes in Brighton. I was surprised that my brother has found such a pub in this trendy area. The food was very good value with two fish and chip meals for £14. Traditional ale was served too. We will certainly go again if we are in the area.

Normally thoroughly disappointed with pub grub nowadays as most venues charge too much for too little, but had the Pulled Chicken sandwich with chips and the sandwich was great,

Have had an amazing stay here,great staff ,so friendly,nothings too much for them,just had a wonderful breakfast brought to our room ... wonderful stay will definitely return ,the location is perfect xx

I regularly come here with ex work colleagues. Always get great service and the food is great too.

Great place very historic and friendly staff

Nice night cap before taxi home

We were playing a dart match at the Market Inn ( us being the away team) . Seemed a bit strange walking into the pub that I once lived in, The Former Golden Fleece ( 1969 / 1990) my Dad died there in 1989 , I became joint licensee with my Mum until 1990. So you can understand my feelings in the pub ,dart board was where my Dads fish tank was. Gentleman behind the bar was very pleasant. We won our match .

Had a great time staying here, room was spacious and a lovely breakfast in the morning. Staff were really helpful and great service. Would definitely stay here again!

I meet a relative of mine who lives in Brighton and we always go to this pub for lunch. Never fails to cook and serve a good roast dinner with apple crumble for pud.

The pub inside was very nice with a cosy feel, the beer let down, went into the pub hoping to get a real ale, one was not ready, had a pint of local Suffolk beer, but was cloudy, bar lady wasn't happy with it, finally got a clear pint 20 minutes later (other half had nearly finished her drink). So the question is would I visit again? Most probably not.

The bar in the middle doesn't leave much space for tables, but all in all nice pub. Good music.

Leider keine Empfehlung für dieses Pub wenn ihr auch etwas Essen wollt.

Didn’t stay but had a pint lovely little pub and met this funny old man

Lovely old style pub. Great, friendly service. Food delicious.

Enjoyable one night stay on The Lanes. Lovely breakfast and superb host!

Posso scrivere solo una cosa su questo pub di Brighton! Ci devo tornare.... Ci voglio tornare. Atmosfera tipica inglese, ottimo tutto il cibo, loro cordialissimi. Stra-consigliato. A must if you are in Brighton! That's all

Unremittingly blue collar, a fine old pub ruined by mediocrity

Abbiamo scelto questo pub perché pieno di persone inglesi, se frequentato dai locali vuol sicuramente dire che si mangia bene. E così è stato! Abbiamo preso il fish&chips, ottimo!, e un festive sandwich con turkey stuffing and cranberry...divino! Super consigliato agli amanti del cibo e dell' atmosfera prettamente inglesi.

Good beer and food, great atmosphere. Real old style pub.

Fantastic place to stay very clean, and friendly staff. Breakfast is unbelievable.

Dashed round the lanes and decided to have a warming tot of whiskey as was cold and windy. The pubs are very much like London pubs in layout and this was the case. Weren’t there long but seemed pleasant enough. Probs not a place to spend the night if two of you 🤔

First visit today. Hard working very professional bar staff. Warm, welcoming atmosphere. Great food and the perfect pub to visit after shopping in The Lanes. Dog friendly. Highly recommend this traditional pub. So pleased we found it.

Love this pub we pop in here for a drink on our way into town good selection of drinks and although we have never eaten here the food always looks good

This place does great nachos, bit dark inside

Great pub, really nice food too.

Perfect food, perfect ales, friendly staff and locals. Very welcoming

Really friendly, ‘old fashioned’ in sense serves decent quality; sensibly priced ‘pub grub’, with excellent range of draft beer; friendly service - food arrived in reasonable time. Great crowd - well a few locals - to share sport beamed into pub making it an enjoyable evening - thanks you.

Went to meet friends and have lunch. Manager was very accommodating as they were showing a football match. Staff friendly. Food was very nice and reasonably priced.

So unfortunately i didn't get to stay here as I messed up my booking and done it for next year but the manager was so helpful and rang round to help me find a place to stay so I wasn't stuck. The hospitality he gave me was spectacular and I couldn't thank him enough for the time and effort he gave me to make sure I wasn't without a place to stay. Such an star and anyone who would stay would receive amazing customer service. He puts himself out past a "job role" and you can tell he is just a people person that wants to help and the world needs more people like him.

There was originally 6 of us, but turned into 10 and the staff very polite aswell, after a few drinks we got a little loud, but the management and staff took it all in their stride...we met for lunch at noon and stayed until late evening...great venue, staff and ambience 😊😊

Small, traditional pub at the entrance to the lanes. Easy to overlook but worth a visit. I had a ploughman's - generous serving of cheese and salad, reasonably priced which is a plus in a tourist centre like Brighton.

My cold was kicking because he was tired so we split from our party. We eventually returned and the owner was an absolute star. He engaged our child and went causally above and beyond to help out. Drinks, straws, fist bumps, jokes, anything to be fun. If you don't go here you ARE missing out. On top of this the food was great and not expensive.

Great pub friendly staff meals are very good and the beer is fantastic it is based in the lanes ideal for all Brighton

Fish and chips was awful. Fish was small, thin, grey and so rubbery that I couldn't cut it with my knife. Sent it back and second one was a bit better but not great. More batter than fish. Realise it was part of a deal but should still be edible.

Wouldn’t bother with this place if you have family Walked in, sat down, two adults, four children aged 14. Only trying to have a quick drink and a rest. Had an abrasive staff member come over and ask if we were all 18. Obviously they weren’t , but we just wanted soft drinks. We were told to leave and turfed us out. This pub is extremely old fashioned and dated in their approach. Also lots of looks from the older generation in the pub. I think this was down to us being a mixed couple with mixed children.

Such tasty food and warm welcome, thank you Peter! Search no further for better restaurant in Brighton, it is so authentic.

Busy pub but landlord made us very welcome, lunch was excellent , portions good and clean plates said it all. Excellent position for Lanes and beach

Vasta scelta di birre alla spina, piatti molto ricchi e vari, personale gentile che ci ha accontentato in ogni nostra richiesta. Lo consiglio.

Amazing food and drink, lovely place for a family who are only here for a couple days and the Market Inn was the best part of our experience!!!

Called here for lunch. Food good, prompt and hot. Reasonably priced and beers great! £28 all in for two bees and two main meals👍👍

We stayed for two days and evenings. Super warm welcome. Room was very comfortable and we slept like babies. Having the “best” breakfast brought to the room was great. Couldn’t get a better central location. Ps Donatellos restaurant door is a must

Ordered the special lamb burger not the best not sure if it was homemade I think it could be improved with having home made chips instead of frozen, staff are friendly enough, owner/manager seemed very stressed dealing with a delivery, I'm guessing most items are...

Found this place tucked away in the lanes …Great friendly pub, food is top notch pub grub. Lovely staff. What can only be described as a proper pub

Excellent service, beer and food. Traditional British pub that doesn't disappoint and becoming harder to find. We will be back

Stayed here before and eaten here few times before was always fine however rang at 1.00 today to see if they served food all day was told yes when we arrived at 3pm food was closed. Spoke to manager behind the bar who didn’t seem...

Busy weekend walking the Shine Nightwalk for Cancer Research . We took the chance to eat in the Market Inn. Food very poor . Fish n chips ( fish tasted like water - no taste ) just greasy batter . Lasagne = very dry ....

Outstanding again. Lovely food. Cold pint. Very hot outside. But fresh through out pub. Very enjoyable place for meal and drink. Very happy

Visited back in summer of 2020 so headed back and it was a good as we remembered. Really friendly staff with good selection of beers Had pub lunch which could not be faulted Will always be our Go To when visiting Brighton

Was looking for a pub lunch, very pleased we found here Pulled pork burger was very tasty. served with chips and extra onion rings Tuna mayo sandwich came with crisps but ordered extra chips All very tasty and filled the pub lunch gap ! Nice...

Located in The Lanes this is a cosy traditional pub that's well worth visiting. Decent selection of ales, nice food and friendly staff. It can get busy at times though.

We were looking for some food whilst out for a Boxing Day walk as our previous booking had been cancelled due to Covid. We also had our dog with us so had to factor this as well. We found the Market Inn, in the Lanes...

We had such a lovely fun evening. With a decorated table, delicious buffet food, free mulled wine. And such nice staff. Great fun. Thank you :)

Out for an early evening walk in search of somewhere to eat and came across this traditional pub. Decided to give the food a try and wasn’t disappointed. Good pub food at a reasonable price. Staff were friendly and attentive and 70s/80s music in the...

Spotted this bar by chance, saw advert for Sunday Roast so went in to reserve a table, because we weren't eating until 3. Arrived at 3, beef was still available and what a good choice, the meal was so tasty and filling, beef was very...

£17 for their famous fish and chips. They are disgusting, frozen fish, frozen minted peas and frozen chips. Would I recommend the food.....nope. The worst I have tasted.

Just had a meal at this pub with a friend and 3 of our (older) children. What a great find with something for everyone on the menu. As a pescatarian I don’t often feel spoilt for choice but I did tonight. All 5 of us...

We came across the Market Inn by chance & so glad we did! Bored with every Italian restaurant in Brighton we were looking for some wholesome food & we found it here. A friendly welcome greeted us & we were able to alter the menu...

I come here for lunch usually with my grandma who always says it is her favourite. Friendly staff who never fail to please and greet us. Wonderful food and a pleasure to visit. I recommend!!

Good choice of gins, particularly Brighton Gin. Excellent food - best halloumi burger I’ve ever had & husband really enjoyed his steak. Lovely friendly service - also ate at 9.10pm & food still fresh and tasty

Good service and choice off drinks good value classic pub food food quite busy staff very friendly would recommend

After a long day in Brighton on the beach and pier, as part of our Staycation, we fancied a bottle of wine and bite to eat before we got the bus home to Worthing. We traipsed up and down being turned away for not booking...

Very accommodating for my family including our four month old baby and gave us a table with enough room for a pram. We had a lovely meal and the service could not have been better, the waitress kept coming and asking if we wanted drinks,...

A fantastic time had here today. We arrived in Brighton about 11.30 and went straight to The Market Inn. We were welcomed with a smile and for the next 4 hours we spent a really relaxing time. The barman was amazing and we discussed darts...

Very good pub and in these strange times they are abiding to all the safety regulations good food and nice beers very friendly staff and no moronic customers well worth the viit.

Recommended by my Uncle who lives locally - so much better than a chain pub; friendly staff, local beer, nice traditional atmosphere and a very pleasant, good value lunch. Would visit again.

Lovely hidden treasure, lovely food and staff, we were made to feel very welcome, popped in to have a coffee to flee rain whilst on coach trip, ending up staying for 3 hours , had lovely food and met some lovely locals x

We hadn't been here for a couple of years when stayed here so thought we'd try out the roast dinner. Absolutely delicious, one beef, one veggie. Traditional pub, Harveys bitter, decent wine..what more could you want?

We booked a table I'm glad we did it was busy but it was lovely the atmosphere was great the music great... We all ordered the beef lovely..but the yourkshire pudding was cold the carrots were over cooked we was not offered horseradish sauce...but the...

Came here for a drink with my partner Was told to sit in the corner as they had had a function.he didn’t even say hello or thank you when I ordered. I used to enjoy going here years ago and it was a real shame...

Just had the best ploughmans lunch ever. Busy pub but still first class service. Very highly recommended.

Dropped in for a pint and had lunch. The best presented ploughmans I have had in a very long while. The cheese and ham were very good and everything was served fresh, very pleased.

My self, husband and sister visited this pub for lunch before we went to the theatre in Brighton. The young lady behind the bar was very helpful not sure of her name but she said she was from Stoke. She was very friendly. My husband...

cena per una volta in puro stile inglese, fish and chips e birra in un locale in puro stile britannico. Servizio veloce e semplice, notevole scelta di birre. per chi vuole, come noi fare un'esperienza in un pub la scelta è giusta. ottimo il rapporto qualità prezzo

Visited here for a quick pint this week whilst wandering the lanes. Seemed popular with locals and was pretty busy for a midweek early evening. Bar man was pretty grumpy and not at all welcoming. Drinks were average in both taste and price.

I was in Brighton for an event I attend annually and I always take a stroll into The Lanes. A wonderful, eclectic area of the town that has a continental feel to it. As usual, I picked a pub to have lunch and decided on The Market Inn. I was greeted by a very pleasant young lady and, as my preference for lunch is cider, I asked what draft cider she had. Only a poor brew, unfortunately so I then asked for a beer brewed locally. She pointed to a beer pump that was called, I seem to remember, West Pier. It was off! A Brighton pub that has run out of Brighton beer? Oh well, I had a pint of Adnams.

Best pub stay in town great beer fantastic food great staff great location close to everything it’s in market st in the lanes. We will be back

Came today, Wednesday 13th, witha group of students. Absolutely spotless and cosy place. The Fish and Chips best we have had so far. Great service. Fast. All great. Lovely atmosphere. Location priceless.

Pasó muchas veces, nunca me aventuré a entrar, realmente no sé por qué, pero parecía un poco más tranquilo de lo normal, así que pensamos que podríamos conseguir una mesa. Me alegro de haber entrado cuando lo hicimos porque comenzó a llenarse poco después.

Lucky to walk past this one. Food was delicious. Had shanks and mash, my husband had sausages and mash. Both delicious. Stop in you won’t be disappointed.

Siempre un pub encantador para visitar en el corazón de Brighton, cálido y acogedor en invierno, asientos al aire libre para el verano. Buena selección de bebidas y comida. El personal es amable y eficiente, por lo general hay algunos clientes habituales disfrutando de sus pintas. Me encuentro con amigos allí, pero me alegro de aparecer por mi cuenta, está justo al lado de la parada de taxis en East street, a pocos minutos del paseo marítimo, Royal Pavillion y en The Lanes para terapia de compras.
