The Post & Telegraph in Brighton and Hove

We'd popped into the Post & Telegraph around lunchtime just to have a coffee and saw a couple of diners eating steaks. They confirmed they were excellent so we decided we'd come back in the evening to eat there, which we did as it was Steak Club (Tuesday) night. Yes, the steaks were really good, the best we've eaten for a long time and I would definitely come back here on a Tuesday! Although the pub gets quite busy, we easily found a table and I was served quickly at the bar.

We come every week only wish the food was hot not luke warn other wise great value for money we bring our family as well clever man

Visited this pub for a drink prior to going to the Amex Stadium to watch Brighton v Forest.Good friendly atmosphere and no issues as an away supporter.The usual menu and drinks … good value for money

It can be very busy in the evenings but we got a table and myself and my partner were very well looked after the food and drink were delicious and very reasonably priced perfect for dinner Dates and family meals together

Great pub! Good location, friendly staff, reasonable prices. Very good traditional English breakfast.

Antonio was soo welcoming and polite and always asking if we need any other drinks he a wonderful member of staff 😃 😊 😀 😄

I will never go here for a meal again. As it was Tuesday it was steak club night so I decided to take some family members who came over from abroad. We got steak and chips but not even a tomato, or large mushroom or bit of salad on the side or even a few peas - diabolical, it was embarrassing and I am a great cook. Won't be going there again as its gone really down hill.

This was my first visit here as it was a convenient place to meet my old friends I hadn't seen for a very long time as this was their choice mainly based on low costs fir drinks and I can see how this service works very well for punters on a budget...the drinks they have are a wide choice with some special offers especially on guest drinks available for the week ....I did enjoy my afternoon here catching up etc..but what I didn't like was the dirty tables that weren't cleaned after we sat down which I found a bit disgusting really as we were customers ...its a very busy place so can see the attractions on offer as it is an acceptable price for food and drink..though I didn't eat I did notice others doing so that seemed to be fair enough quality for the money...overall it was ok but not my usual choice of choosing..however its still a good convenient location for some on a budget as it is quite expensive these days to have a reasonably good time ...it is good value for money overall if you don't mind the slightly noisy atmosphere as it does get quite busy at times...bar staff are ok but not overly helpful...you do get whst you pay for and that's value for money despite the slightly uncleanness of the place...

Typical Wetherspoon pub with mixed customers. Stopped for a quick drink and bite to eat.

Another nice Wetherspoons all be it quite busy at times but service still good.

On entry, Started quizzing and questioning the only sober person amongst us! Clearly just both jobsworths

Great atmosphere,quick service,loads of people of mixed age so suitable for wide range

Worst wetherspoons ever Surly staff. Toilets filthy. Food took half hour and had to chase for drinks ordered on app several times Don't bother

Refused my friend entry on the basis he was drunk, he has a condition that affects his mobility, giving the appearance that he is stumbling, he presented his information card and tried to explain it to the bouncer, he was refused, another friend had to go through it with the bouncer again just to get entry.

I tried to get in to your establishment yesterday went with a few mates but was initially refused entry as I was stumbling, but that was due to my condition which effects my motor skills I tied to show them my card and they were still going to refuse me entry until my mate said look at his card again

Snubbed myself and my friends because we were asians and denied entry and was very racist and condescending. Safe to say will report and never return. Was a regular customer.

Decent pub located in the heart of Brighton. Popped in a couple of times for drinks over a couple of days, good atmosphere and service. Set over two floors, it isn't the biggest inside but it's ok.

Have eaten at many Weatherspoons over last couple of weeks on our trip. This one definitely was disappointing.

One of the better Wetherspoons I've encountered. All the usual favourites are here as you'd expect. Toilets are upstairs, but there is a disabled toilet on the ground floor. Honest pub food with some nights dedicated to a food theme. Pleasant place to relax in.

Always very busy, great atmosphere

Food was good & service. There were a few older people arguing &threatening each other with a chair Security did step in.

Had the lasagne and salad, lovely food.

Excellent place to go if on a budget always busy

Sadly, this is the worst of the 3 Wetherspoons in Brighton. It was too much, over crowded and just too busy. Trying hard to find a place to sit. Just had a quick drink and left.

Nice pub to rest after a day walking around Brighton. Best. Spoons in Brighton. The usual good beers.

Decent food and service. Sham about the creepy punters (men)

Had a quick stop here, noticed how helpful and friendly the staff were. The place was busy with lots of interesting people to meet.

That’s me being generous , no staff even at 10:30 am large breakfast paid for and got traditional , not worth the bother of waiting to get served as what you had served was half cold when delivered , the smallest egg I’ve ever seen , coffee gives you half a cup , I should have paid the extra and gone in to the lanes for a proper breakfast , other than a cheap pint I wouldn’t bother with the sub standard food , both Brighton weatherspoons do awful food , it’s a shame as I live here . £9.14

Lovely, friendly bloke behind the bar and cheap as you like. The beer, not the bloke. Whoever does the hiring and firing in here would do well to be in charge of the whole company, to be fair. Great effort.

I love this place atmosphere is superb service is great and the food is as good as ever.

The Post and Telegraph, a JD Wetherspoon establishment, nestled in the heart of Brighton, presents itself as an intriguing amalgamation of historical charm and contemporary convenience. Upon entering, one is immediately enveloped in an atmosphere reminiscent of a bygone era, where the architecture speaks of a time when this edifice perhaps served a very different purpose. The high ceilings and expansive windows invite a flood of natural light, creating a spacious and airy environment that is both welcoming and accommodating. On my recent visit, I opted for the Mixed Grill, a quintessential choice that promised a variety of flavours and textures. The dish arrived in a timely manner, presented with a certain rustic appeal. The assortment included a medley of meats—each cooked to a satisfactory level of doneness. The steak, while not the most tender, offered a robust flavour that was complemented by the accompanying sausages and grilled chicken. The gammon, though slightly on the salty side, added a delightful contrast to the plate. The chips, golden and crisp, provided a pleasing crunch, though they lacked the seasoned flair that one might expect from a more gourmet establishment. What truly elevated the dining experience was the provision of free refill coffee—a veritable lifeline for those in need of a caffeinated reprieve. The coffee, while not of the artisanal variety, was nonetheless robust and well-brewed, serving its purpose admirably. The convenience of unlimited refills cannot be overstated, especially for someone such as myself who enjoys lingering over a meal, indulging in the ambiance and observing the ebb and flow of patrons. The service, much like the meal, was adequate. The staff were courteous and efficient, if not particularly engaging. One cannot fault them for their professionalism, though a touch of warmth or enthusiasm might have enhanced the overall experience. The environment, while bustling, maintained a sense of order and cleanliness, a testament to the establishment's commitment to providing a comfortable dining experience. In summation, the Post and Telegraph JD Wetherspoons in Brighton offers a dependable, if unremarkable, dining experience. The Mixed Grill serves its purpose as a hearty meal, and the free refill coffee is a much-appreciated perk. For those seeking a convenient and cost-effective option in the heart of Brighton, this establishment serves admirably. However, for those in search of a more refined culinary adventure, one might need to look beyond the familiar confines of Wetherspoons. Nonetheless, it stands as a reliable choice for a casual meal amidst the vibrant backdrop of Brighton.

Typical Wetherspoons. Good range and quality of food and drinks at reasonable prices. Gets busy. So, choose your visit timing well.

Had to clear our own table. Food came quickly

2nd Wetherspoons of the day. This one has a more traditional feel to it over the other one in Brighton. £10 for a corona and a large glass of white wine. Had to wait for a table to become free, this was at 19:00 on a Tuesday evening.

I got a tiny fish for my fish and chips but they gave me a free side of scampi. Fair play

It's a weathespoons, cheap drinks a guaranteed the toilet is a hike upstairs and out the back. Lot nicer bars to go to but none as cheap for a quick pint.

Typical wetherspoon, dirty tables, drunk people trying to talk to us and in the way of the stairs at 11am. Had brunch, eggs were chewy/rubbery, all luke warm. Cutlery was wet and disgusting.

Had nice sausage buttys. Coffee wasn't great. Staff friendly and helpful.

Grubby , go to the marina one it's much nicer

Cheap drinks but the pub never looks clean and the toilets are always dirty. I have actually seen a member of staff that should be checking the toilets just sign the paper in the toilets to say that they have been checked and walk out without even checking them.

We took our granddaughter, who is vegan, for a day out to Brighton and thought we go for breakfast. We ordered a traditional breakfast, a vegan breakfast and a breakfast muffin, together with a couple of extra items via the app from our table. After waiting over 20 minutes we were told that they had no vegan sausages so could only offer beans on toast for breakfast, but if we waited another 10 minutes we could order something vegan from the main menu. My husband duly went to order Quorn nuggets after 10 minutes and returned to the table. After another 10 minutes a man (on his own) sat at the four seat table next to us with his mobile phone blaring out awful music. Even after giving him a number of stares he continued to play the music loudly. After approximately another 10 minutes of waiting for food we asked the passing 'waitress' where our order was. Within five minutes another member of staff was sent to tell us they could not supply the slice of toast we had ordered as an extra. With that we told him that after waiting for over half an hour for food that that had been ordered that they couldn't supply and the moron with the loud music next to us we wanted to cancel the order and receive a refund, which to be fair, they did with no quibble. My advice would be DO NOT USE THIS PLACE as we would never do again. They can't cope with large numbers and clearly lack idea how to order in supplies.

A very popular and famous place in Brighton. Unfortunately when I went I had finished the Fish and Chips, so I opted for the pizza. I have to say it was good. I saw the other dishes around me and they were plentiful and looked tasty. Compliments!

Huge place Cheap as it is for Wetherspoons

I had a five bean chilli with rice and a raspberry refresher(which was great as always)! But the quantity of rice was a bit less considering its price.

Me & my mum visited today 30-04-23 and I have got to say it was terrible my first and last time to Wetherspoons i always eat in Wetherspoons as I have diabetes and the food is usually good but this one I will not be going back to. I ordered steak & chips for mum & stake salad jacket potato for me as I have diabetes we waited over an hour & half for our food and when it came we couldn’t eat it steak was terrible half my order was missing the staff didn’t come anywhere near so I could tell them I at to eat some of the cold jacket potatoes so I could have my medication worst meal we have ever had in a Wetherspoons 👎

It's a Witherspoon's you know exactly what it's about and the type of place it is. Always find the good pretty good no different here. Beer is cheap. Pretty busy place as you would expect

It was a warm Saturday early evening and it was busy. But the table service was excellent and the guy who delivered the drinks was spot on. A few beers and then the train back to the big smoke.

Really useful place for near to bus stops and a good variety of food and drink. Big place to see and sit in with both ground and upper floor areas for seating. A good place to come to if not too busy however.

One of my favourite places for a quick drink

Declan and tony working upstairs Give them brothers a raise very good in the floor Great customer sert

Clientele very poor. People bringing in own food. Several people vaping But the Real Ale was good

Very disappointing. I ordered a mixed grill, and some of the meat, particularly the steak, had been so overcooked it was inedible. First time I have ever experienced this at a Wetherspoons pub

Lovely fresh cooked fish and chips today . Upstairs. Great guy serving, polite,smile,attentive, caring. Well done . Nice to see good customer service. Table 48.

Lovely Wetherspoons, perfect place to grab a late breakfast after a night out in Brighton!

Food is ok , nothing extreme or super wow. Is always very very busy so service is rushed.

Doesn't disappoint and for the price you can't go wrong

Always a great time, incredible beer references!!

Very busy when we visited, but managed to get a table and the food service was swift!

If you do not want to spend too much it is a choice

We had breakfasts and meals in the evenings which were lovely, food and drinks were very reasonable. The whole place was really busy and the staff were nice.

It’s an ok place but not conducive to just sit and loiter. Upstairs you face the banisters which is strange. Not large selection for vegetarians in the menu

Arrived at 4pm and nearly a fight starting at bar - standard fair for a Weatherspoons - but that’s what u get I guess for such reasonable drink prices 🤔🤣🍻 Recommend 🤣🤣🤣

Good pub I'm ill a pal took me,good atmosphere people staff it was pretty full,no trouble,this is a witherspoon for the people 👍

Served drinks in plastic glasses

Nice busy pub with friendly atmosphere (Saturday lunchtime). Full of interesting people. Food good and service prompt and courteous.

Was good food shame we went on match day. Plastic glasses

Watch out for the very steep.stairs only down side but very nice and chilled

Very nice pub with a lot of seating space and efficient table service. Plenty of options for food and drink and will be back for sure.

I only popped in to use the toilets so can't say much about this place apart from it was packed at 3pm on a weekday.

Affordable and comfortable food and drink. Unlike almost every other pub the prices here are the lowest you will find for some decent food, for £25 (2024) you can have a huge choice of 2 meals, 2 drinks and a coffee. Or pay just £16 (2024) for ''3-plates''. Comfortable seating, with some sought after booths available. A refillable coffee is just £1.50 cheaper than any rivals and also available for take-away. Always a popular venue, if you arrive after 2pm on Monday to Thursday you are more likely to have a choice of seats. The Upstairs area is very intimate. Disabled facilities available. Assistance dogs (eg Guide Dogs) only are allowed.

We visited this Wetherspoons in North Street, Brighton in January 2024 for drinks and evening food. The interior is similar to many Wetherspoons establishments, as is the clientele! Food was ok and good value real ale - Theakston's Old Peculiar - which I can't complain about. Generally friendly and helpful staff. Would return if in the area.

Love that you can take your own sandwich in here and eat it with an unlimited refillable hot beverage. Atmosphere was as you expect. Dull,hungover and smelly. Toilets were out of order and miles away.

Typical spoons cheap food and drinks

Brighton v Crystal Palace day we visited. Packed out pub. Service was remarkable though. Excellent pint of Abbot. For anyone who doesn't like heights, word of advice, visit toilets elsewhere.

Came here 4 times whilst visiting Brighton. The young (mostly student), long-suffering & hard-working staff were very good: efficient & helpful. I had something to eat on each occasion. Recommended. I’m a big fan of Spoons as a business. TOP TIP: choose carefully when to go to a Spoons: at times, especially w/e nights, these places resemble a night shelter. However, if you choose wisely you wil be rewarded by the cheapest booze in the business.

Food served with missing items very poorly.

Good easy place to meet, eat and drink

Typical spoons, good beer, cheap prices. Staff were friendly, always around collecting empty glasses. The layout of the pub on the ground floor was just table and chairs, upstairs or halfway up had some bar stools with a short bar, you could either sit at the window or look across the ground floor, upstairs had a couple of snugs with table and chairs.

It is what it is... spoons We had a good time

All Wetherspoons are value for money

This used to be a place for a cheap/budget friendly place for me to grab a breakfast with friends after the school run. This is no longer budget friendly. Almost 7 pounds for their small breakfast, it was freezing. Two smallest bits of cold bacon, a spoonful of beans, a cold egg and toast that is only toast on one side and cold again. Table was so sticky didn't want to touch it, the menus were just plain nasty to touch and the cups and cutlery were dirty. The place smelt like a mixture of you mouldy carpet and toilet smell. Would never ever go again. Would spend a few more pounds elsewhere and get something edible, warm in a clean environment.

Same scenario as last Sunday in Hastings arrived around 11.45 in the morning needed to put something through quickly before 12.00 went for the breakfast wrap it came out piping hot nice wrap still hungry so I ordered an American burger it was lovely a cheeseburger with gurkins and mustard lovely and juicy one of the best burger's I've had for a long time chips nice and hot the staff on the ball well organized it's a busy pub in the centre of Brighton city if this Wetherspoons can get food out when there busy why can't the one in Hastings do it that last Sunday was Embarrassing shocking service this experience was 5🌟

Great people and great beer choices.

Great as always. Can't go wrong with a meal deal! The halloumi style salad was delicious.

Great staff, polite and friendly. Good atmosphere full of well behaved young people...great vibe about the place.

It is what it is. Good breakfast freshly cooked and served with a smile. Downstairs coffee machine out of order and not easy for a couple of our party to make the stairs for only working machine. But you can refill as often as you like.

Absolutely wonderful Weatherspoons...fantastic old building,amazing bar service,amazing food and drink which was all served very quickly within half an hour despite the premises being absolutely rammed in with loads of people.Our group of 3 needed to be fed before Donny Experience in The Brighton Centre.

Beautiful ambience and friendly staff. The pints are also pocket friendly.

Great spot with great selection of beer and food.

A classic Weatherspoon experience id say. To add to it, Christmas cheer! I ordered fish and chips. The chips really are giant size most places here in Brighton. The fish was well cooked but toasty. The food and beverage combo prices are the best part of this place and then the service.

Great spot to have multiple drinks before having a night out. Lively and fun.

Excellent traditional pub serving great food. What is there not to like? Wether spoons also breathe life into lovely buildings in every town.

Cheap and cheerful. Good atmosphere

This place has gone down hill. Looks very dirty, tables not cleaned, toilets disgusting, ordered on app service was really slow

Great food and drinks for a reasonable. The people who served us was really nice.

A quick drink. Some of the staff were friendly

Really enjoyed our visit, lovely food and drinks at very good prices. Buzzing atmosphere with everyone having a great time. Brilliant staff.

Typically busy and dirty with cheap drinks and food
