The Nevill in Brighton and Hove

I celebrated my Birthday and my daughter’s birthday there. Everyone was lovely and really supportive and nothing looks like too much trouble for them and kindly helped us with everything! We had a great time and Im looking forward to keep celebrating my birthday here!

Alice the bar girl is the loveliest , friendliest , most helpful & professional bar staff I have ever met . A wonderful asset ! Thank you Alice for making our afternoon/evening so wonderful

Absolutely amazing atmosphere and the staff are amazing

There was no atmosphere, and drink prices are ridiculous (I think they definitely take advantage of being the only pub in the area)

We had a private party, very good night beautiful room

The staff were great behind the bar. We hired the venue for a baby shower. We were permitted to decorate the room, with streamers and balloons. Arranged our food. Stick photos to walls with bluetak.

We hired the function room for my Mum’s 60th birthday - all the staff were so lovely and accommodating and we had a great night. They provided a great spread of all the classic party nibbles too.

I have eaten here in excess of 50 times and have never had a bad meal. The staff are polite, friendly and approachable. The roast dinners are off the planet brilliant. I read a review recently that said there was only a choice of one dinner, this simply isn’t true. I’ve had beef, chicken, pork (lovely crackling) and occasionally lamb shank when it’s on as a special. We normally have a side order of pigs in blankets. There’s also extra roast potatoes and cauliflower cheese. Believe me you will do well to finish it. We recently had a family roast at the Nevill. 12 of us thoroughly enjoyed the food which was piping hot. Oh, the gravy is absolutely beautiful. I’ve asked many times how it’s made but John won’t tell me lols. Can’t recommend the roast enough . I’ll pop a copy of the menu up.

Sunday roast - Top marks, great food, service brilliant - Will be back for sure :)

Amazing Sunday lunch - big portions all fresh & piping hot - staff so friendly. The meat was so tender & the veg were gorgeous- highly recommended

Ruined the memory of my birthday A delayed review, but after much consideration, people need to be warned about booking any type of function here. I made the huge mistake of booking my birthday party to be held at the nevill pub, Hove. Upon first meeting, the pub owner couldn’t have been more nice, helpful and seemed as though nothing was too much trouble. If I had known then what I know now I would have avoided this place and bar owner at all costs. On the eve of the party I lost a lot of guests to the bar next door, this is because only 1 bar tender was behind the bar for a party of 80 guests even though I was promised at least 2 to avoid this problem. The reason I was given the next day was that the other bar tender was unwell, yet the bar owner himself made no effort to come and cover the amount of people that were at the party, and instead didn’t turn up to the pub once all night. I paid an obscene amount of money for the pub to provide the food for the party. Only a third of the food was actually provided to the party. We even had to ask for plates / serviettes. Only 1 toilet was working during the night which also caused problems. Over half of my guests clothes were covered in white paint after the party, this is because there were no signs up to inform us that there was wet paint on the walls. Suits / dresses were covered and guests were not happy. The following day myself and my husband went back to clear the decorations. I was told by the bar owner when I booked to ask for the deposit back that I paid after the party. I asked for the bar owner and again he was nowhere to be seen and was told he’s far too busy in the kitchen and to ring him. The next day I rang to ask for the deposit back, he said it’s all gone through and will be in my bank shortly. After 7 weeks of chasing I finally got it back. After speaking to many many people who have had functions at the Nevill in the past all said exactly the same thing. The deposit is promised back but every one of those people confirmed they needed to charge and chase for at least 6 weeks. After having a conversation with family i was made aware of the food situation and that only a third of the promised and paid for food (over £500) made its way out to the party. I hadn’t seen any of it on the night as I was too busy with guests / dancing etc. When I emailed the bar owner to query this he said the food I had paid for was made, but 15 platters were left in the kitchen because nobody ASKED for them to be brought out. Now I’m sorry but what party has anyone been to where they had to ask for more food to come out. Number 1, guests don’t know what food the host has asked for so wouldnt ask for more food. That just wouldn’t happen. Number 2, if someone has paid over £500 for a bar to provide a buffet for their party, it is their responsibility to provide the paid for food, this isn’t down to any guests. Number 3, guests would not be allowed to just walk into the kitchen to collect platters. The reason they weren’t brought out is simply because there wasn’t the staff to do this. Nobody was there apart from 1 bar tender in the bar next door and the 1 bar tender at my party. The bar owner was nowhere to be seen. Surely if there were 15 platters left in the kitchen after the party, it is their duty to offer these to me to take home at least as I had paid for them. Not once was this offered to me and not once did anyone make me aware of this the next day when I went back. I never got any money back from the pub owner for this, he just argued and argued for weeks about how it was my guests that should have asked for more food. I know this is a long review but people deserve to know the truth and to be made aware of these types of things before booking a function at the nevill and potentially ruining their parties. This is a 100% factual review of events and I have all evidence on my phone, of people’s clothes with paint all over them, and I have emails upon emails between myself and bar owner of the excuses given and his attitude which was miles away from the friendly, helpful person I was presented with when I booked the party. That’s convenient. My advice, book at your own risk of having your parties ruined.

We visited one sunday as we heard the roast dinners were worth a try. First up,drinks..£3.60 for a pint of coke !! omg .. I actually thought id heard wrong when i was told it as nearly 8 quid for 2 pints of coke..Absolutely shocking !! Then we saw the 'menu' if u can call it that as it only had one meal on it ! £16.99 for roast beef with a yorkshire and a smattering of veg.The prices of the extras just floored me.. Cauliflower cheese £4.80.. and extra roast potatoes £5.00 .. So by the time youve added that up it comes to nearly £27.00 each !! Absolutely disgraceful pricing,the owner should be made to wear a hat and mask like Dick Turpin,if he wants to rob his customers.. Nearly £50 for 2 meals,which i could have got ingredients for half the price at the supermarket and cooked myself.. The ladies toilet was leaking and the water was running across the floor..Oh and then taking into account the foul mouthed 'gentlemen' at the bar commenting on the females in there,id say avoid like the plague.. We went elsewhere for our food which was delicious and a fraction of the price,and a pint of coke certainly wasnt £3.60 either.. A menu with just one meal on it,outrageous pricing,leaky toilets and questionable clientele,id say save your money and go elsewhere. The owner should be ashamed of himself,charging all that for a meal and couldnt even fix a leaky loo !! Shambles of a place,avoid avoid avoid

Fabulous karaoke last Friday of every month with pjpacemaker

Really great pub food, warm atmosphere, lovely people. And we ate in the lovely garden at the back. Couldn't want more.

We visited this lovely pub/restaurant yesterday for Sunday lunch. We Sat outside with the dog and enjoyed a bottle of wine and 4 delicious roasts. The food was absolutely amazing and certainly one of the best roasts we have had before with everything being made fresh and from scratch. Chef even came out to say hello which was lovely. The service was superb and friendly and the pub is clean and nicely decorated. We would definitely recommend!!

Good night…good food and and the karaoke was good too ……

WOW, the Sunday lunch left me drooling and a full belly; excellent presentation. Food was seriously tasty and will definitely be going back. Well done chef Patrick.

Been here a couple of times. Staff are always pleasant and friendly. Think they should rename the pub to The Moon as there is no atmosphere or people!

Came in not too long ago for a quick drink and a burger before my day and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of my food and the service that came with it! I was served by a younger lad named Kuba who made me feel very welcome and made sure my meal and drink were fine. My halloumi burger was far better than what I was expecting for a pub which put a smile on my face. Overall very happy with my visit to this pub. I will most definitely come again to try more of the menu!

We had tea at the Neville .The meals were very good. The chef Patrick came to our table a number of times to check everything was good. He was very friendly and accommodating as was John the landlord. All in all we had a very pleasant evening.

Great Ribs . Cooked to perfection . Credit to the chef Patrick, Kitchen opens Eves Wed-Sat 5-9 ish Sunday, lunch only. Happy days for us Locals.

Group of 6 came in for Sunday lunch. Lovely roast dinners, great selection of meats. Superb service to go with it. Highly recommend.

Really nice pub tucked right out the way. The garden is amazing as its warming up. Check it out, they have a really good beer range with Neck Oil on tap.

The Neville is a great spot, it's a bit out of the way and generally quite empty, having said that, the locals and regulars are gems and great for conversation

It was ok nice pub I brought 4 drinks one staff member charge me £26 another time that evening I got charged £31 won't be rushing back there

My family hired the function room at the Nevill to celebrate the life of a family member. The staff were very helpful in advising us about catering and organising the event. We had access to the garden where the kids to play in safety. The day was brilliant and everybody had a fabulous time. Can't praise the venue enough.

Great for heart venture karaoke nights

This has to have been one of the best roasts I've had in years, meat was beautiful and very very filling. Would recommend eating here to anyone

Nice nice size room was at party here at weekend jane the barmaid did a brilliant job keeping up with the demand of the party gusset when asking her if she was getting help she said no think it was such a shame she was left to do a job of 2 people and although she did her best i think the pub missed out on doubing there profits that night! As my group definitely did not drink the amount we would normally drink on a night out !

Had a wonderful day at The Nevill, booked the function room for my Dads 90th Birthday. Jon was really helpful with sorting buffet, food was great and the staff on the day were amazing. Had use of garden to put up bouncy castle which with around 15 kids was a godsend. Cannot recommend the venue enough.

Came here for friends bday meal , there was around 12 of us. It was very busy. All ordered mixture of food, roasts, fish and chips, Shepard’s pie etc. The service was chaotic , a drinks order took very long to arrive as did some extra cheese. One of the waitresses was excellent seemed to be the only one who knew what she was doing. The other staff forgot stuff when asked . Asked for some cheese three times . Finally asked the good waitress who sorted it. Understand it was busy but service needs improving . Food was tasty and large portions

Warm, welcoming and good house red!

We live just down the road so thought it was high time to test out the nearest Sunday roast (aside from my own). We were not disappointed. I was thrilled to see a three meat roast on the menu. It was very tasty overall. I really liked seeing the kitchen at work too.

Went for Sunday Roast. Delicious. Both had beef, cannot fault it. Would highly recommend 👌 Also lovely restaurant area with open Kitchen. Staff in here are lovely. Stayed for drinks after.

Food was basic but have never paid £13.60 for 1 pint of Harvey's 1 white wine spritzer Very dissapointed not my kind of pub.

Warm welcome from staff. Food was very generous portions. Stuffed.

The best roast dinner I have ever had. Everything was cooked and served to perfection. Lovely homemade yorkshire pudding. Steve and I both had the triple roast which was amazing the pork belly was to die for. We be telling all our friends and family and 100% will be back really soon. Thankyou John and all the team.

Friendly staff and good prices. We visited with our church men's group and will definitely be back again.

Bar tender was lovely, dog friendly, pool table outside which was great! Really large, well kept garden with loads of out door seating! Great for large group events/ gatherings and totally enclosed. Plenty of parking. Didn’t have food but they have Smirnoff espresso martinis on draft and seltzers which were great! Would love to go again for the roast on a Sunday. :)

We had our 25th wedding anniversary here, it was well managed and well staffed. The pub is a great place for a quick pint or a great meal. I can't thank them enough for the letting Us put our party on there.

Great drinks nice people it was very fun and I really enjoyed it thank you Bobby and Louise Lottie Harrington and Lottie Richards

Nice pub been to few parties here good size function room and garden

Weekend visit to friends that took us here for Sunday lunch. Wow, I can honestly say it is the best roast dinner I've ever eaten in a pub or restaurant! Meat was moist, veg was cooked to perfection and all the colour it is supposed...

Superb meal great value for money. Portions very generous. Im stuffed. Top work guys.

I had the trio of meats chicken and beef was nice but the belly pork was the nuts, roast potatoes and veg were very good too!

Arrived, asked if food was being served & if they did GF. Barman gave us menu & started to pull the drinks.....then the chef came out & said there wasn't enough food as they had bookings already. Bad planning, obviously, as whoever heard of not catering for drop-in/walk-in business. And pubs wonder why they go under when planning is so poor 😒 UPDATE TO RESPONSE: Considering it was lunchtime when we called in and the pub was very quiet, AND we were given a menu to select food, I stand by 'Poor Planning'. I fully accept if it was full, no tables available, because of Father's Day, that would have been a different matter, OR told no availability when we went in. But, as there were tables free AND and sign outside saying food was being served, one can only deduce, someone didn't plan properly 🤔

Popped in on Father’s Day on the off chance they would be able to fit us in. Very accommodating and the food was incredible. Jon and Rob couldn’t have done more. We had an unhurried and great experience. Couldn’t recommend the Sunday roast enough!! I note the comments from the gentleman in Lycra . We were laughing all the way home at the shear arrogance and rudeness of the man.

Best roast dinner yesterday, fit two last minute dinners in with what they had left over at the end and was 10/10!

The Neville has got very nice Staff and also great food at a Restaurant

Huge delicious Sunday Roasty. Biggest pork belly I’ve ever had and not often I’d say a Roasty out is better than ‘I’d make at home’ but it really was. 6 different fresh veggies, hot gravy, crispy potatoes and huge Yorkshire’s. Friendly service. Highly recommend.

I love coming here I know the staff whenever I come here if I have a problem then a guy kicks them out for me.

Excellent experience for the use of the function room for a family event. Food was lovely along with good service. Thank you Jon and your team for the effort that was made for getting everything right for us on the day.

We booked the function room for a family event and we were very happy with everything. The food was very tasty along with a special order. The function room was clean and well set out. The staff were friendly and efficient and kept the areas...

Had my wedding reception here was great but very very angry and upset because after asking the bar staff on a numerous amount of times to please put our cake in the fridge it wasnt done and today we collected our wedding cake which is actually now destroyed and not eatable now we are very very upset and disappointed before picture and what we collected today

Great roast dinner and lovely people work there

We visited here on Sunday as we needed somewhere that did a roast out of town because of parking and we loved it! The man serving us was so polite, helpful and funny which made our meal even better. The chef was also very friendly...

This is a great pub, nice atmosphere and good food. Unfortunately the current landlord isn’t as pretty as his pre-Covid barmaid but that’s certainly not his fault. I’m a Harvey’s drinker and unfortunately they just can’t get it right. I used to work in a...

I really like it and it is friendly costumers

My first visit to this nice little boozer in Hove. We visited as a men's darts team and had an enjoyable evening, made welcome table reserved for upon arrival staff and good food.

Very dead no atmosphere despite covid-19 restriction. This is a view from a dj who played some nice tunes a few summer day time gigs a few years ago. A lot of work needed to bring the Nevill back to its glory days. I have got some ideas if needed. Dj C😎

Great venue for a 75th birthday 🎂 celebration 🍾

Friendly staff, decent selection of beers, nice pub garden.

To Jon and team I can’t thank you enough for looking after my family and friends and letting us have our wake at your pub after the funeral of my beloved mum. The food and service was nothing less than brilliant. I would highly recommend...

Excellent food, great staff brilliant outdoor space

Lovely place and staff Sean and hannah were great and very helpfull will definitely come back amazing staff and manager John was very helpfulbringing food all day

Great staff, honestly that's the biggest thing for me and they're just so friendly and helpful. Good times.

Nice friendly atmosphere and a good beer garden. The landlord John and bar lady Jo did a great job of looking after our party of 6. Good selection of beers. Worth a visit.

visited the nevill yesterday with a couple of my friends, what can I say great pub with great staff. they were very accommodating giving the covid circumstances, garden was lovely with lots of space and seats. I highly recommend this pub to anyone.

Terrible place. If you're looking to get smacked in the gob or shanked then this is the place for you. Every patron would be described as "a character"

Not sure where my review disappeared too?! Thanks Google! Typing again... Wife and I popped in for a drink. Wish we could have stayed longer, but as 6 degrees C outside in beer garden just too damn chilly! First visit to a pub in months, got a nice welcome from bar staff on entry. Decor was clean and bright and we sat in a large Marquee outside. Good experience all around. Will be back.

What a fantastic bunch of people, helped my son who broke down, can't wait to go there for a drink and something to eat

Best local family pub friendly and great atmosfere

Came in today for a roast with family and was blown away, the portion size was amazing and the pork belly I had just fell apart in my mouth! Nothing bad to say at all lovely place all very friendly and Sean the barman was...

Sean the server was very friendly and was helpful. The food by the chefs was so good, would definitely come here again and the bar staff on at the time was very friendly.

I've travelled miles to find a perfect Sunday lunch and found it on my doorstep at The Nevill Pub. Absolutely fantastic 10/10 2 weeks running. Group of 7 of us , fabulous belly pork, beef & chicken , veg and roast potatoes. All of us...

Good, well served beer Lovely beer garden Charming bar staff (Eden, in particular, even, with a hangover)

Brilliant weekend spent largely in the pub. Eden is great. All the punters were friendly and funny. Landlord is a great bloke.

Group of 6 came in for Sunday lunch. Lovely roast dinners, great selection of meats. Superb service to go with it. Highly recommend.

Decently priced alcohol and nice relaxed setting inside and out in pub garden

My family gave me a surprise birthday party in the function room, and The Neville provided 23 lovely roast dinners Including pork belly, chicken and beef, well impressed, Sean was really helpful and friendly as were the bar staff and chef. Many thanks for a wonderful day.

Really well done, they were amazing getting 23 roast dinners out for a birthday gathering. Sean was amazing and really helpful, lovely guy. So was the barmaid in the yellow top (didn't get her name!) She was super helpful and chatty too.10/10 would recommend a roast here, pork belly was huge and just fell apart. Definitely one of the best roasts I've had out.

Used to go a lot but a new hound Batman just joined was disinterested rude and completely forgot of how to treat customers. Absolute disappointment had to walk out and will not be returning!

Lovely pub. Didn't try the food, apart from some of the company, it was a lovely pub

Confrontational landlord who breaks promises. Great barmaid who helped make our wedding reception become bearable. Expensive drink at nearly £5 per pint and £5 for a pitcher of juice.

Free drink yh right! We asked for drinks on arrival which the cost was covered. Juice is £5 a jug which got explain my 2 year old type one diabetic niece needed 20 mins later arrived. Own drinks was juice he refused to help her sugar levels go up ! after manager was rude to my 81 yeah old nan food was an absolute shambles! We asked evening guest not to arrive because of the managers rudeness and disrespect! Then had the cheek to refuse my nan her deposit back saying he didn't make enough to cover function room £150 so is that free? Only positive thing I can say is the barmaid was fantastic apart from that alwful!!

The manager was rude and even made the bride cry as called her and her man in law a lier over the arrangements made we asked for traditional English buffet paid £180 for this and what we got was mainly Indian food and stale bread there was also ment to be jugs of juice for the children and he said we had the pay £5 a jug even tho arranged this would be in the price he was extremely rude and arrogant the only good part was the barmaid Leah she was extremely friendly and brilliant with all the kids we had the function room until midnight but all left by 8pm would not recommend

Great Place To Eat and relax and the Staff treat you with some Respect with the Staff I recommend it to anybody. The Sunday Roasts are very nice.

So from the first moment my man and I, was greeted by a lovely man named as jon, we sat at the bar and watched him go around the pub making sure everyone was happy. Then out come Sam he is the cook, we wanted to eat so looked at the menu and see something I wanted but with the wrong pasta, sam within seconds said what pasta would i like he made me fresh penne unbelievably amazing took a few mins more but worth it I can not explain, come try this place you will not be disappointed

The management at The Nevill grant a charity I volunteer for free access to a function room for our monthly meeting. Have also had a pizza from restaurant and enjoyed that.

Gross food and I found 2 hairs in my spaghetti

Always good service and friendly

definitely worst place in hove, terrible food, terrible service and agressive owner

Well all I can say is the food was amazing and the chef and barmaid did a brilliant job but all I can say is as a old member of staff who was ill over new year,I’m upset how the manger has dealt with it but that’s fine I will still recommend the nevill as the food is amazing and Sam is amazing the chef

terrible pub food was bad .Onwer was rude

One of the worst place in hove, terrible service and cold food, and dont even think to rent room here , owner is keeping deposit no maintance

Excellent food and friendly staff and good service.

Roast dinner was awesome, definitely be returning soon 😊

Went to the Nevill on Saturday night with friends and had a great nite and felt very welcome by people in the pub. Also the bar staff Sam made me and friends feel very welcome. Will definitely come back again!!!

A group of us together with some foriegn visitors spent a couple of hours. Sam and the other staff were very welcoming. Need to get some olive oil for the salad though!

Excellent food and service. Holly and the chef really looked after us. Very glad we stopped by. Will definitely visit for lunch again.
