The Post & Telegraph in Brighton and Hove

Great meeting place for a cheap and cheerful meal and a couple of drinks. Service was excellent. The pub is very busy, but for good reason, and everything you expect from a good Spoonies. And as always, a great selection of beer.

Very nice good and hot chocolate for a good price

Really skimp on the chip portions :( other than that a standard spoons if a bit smelly!

Nice for a quick stop in for a drink while out shopping.

There is a lot of exhaled air on the first floor, otherwise everything is OK

Visited on a Monday trip to Brighton. The drink specials on offer were at fantastic prices compared to London. My guests appreciated a couple of good drinks after some shopping and sight seeing. Certainly very competitively priced compared with a few of the other pubs we visited. Worth a couple as very central and plenty of options.

The better of the two Spoons pubs in Brighton town centre

We picked a very bad day to visit as the pub was full of Mancs & Brighton supporters for the 1730 match at the Amex. Couldn't find a seat as people were just squatting for the day. Very loud & noisy. Won £13.00 on the fruit machine. Would not come back here. Drinks were under £7.00 for a beer & wine which is great for a city centre. Someone left a jacket on a seat & in the 20 minutes we were there no one appeared. Bit like leaving your towel on a sun lounger by the pool.

Always know what you're getting here. Always average.

The food was absolutely awful, wasn't cooked properly, had to keep asking for items that should of been with the meal and the cutlery was dirty! Will not recommend it to anyone, worse meal from Wetherspoons

Gotta love Wetherspoons pubs. City centre, scampy, peas and chips and a pint of ale, Unbelievable value for money. XXX

Dear Callum, Friday and Saturdays are not the same without you. Always being the best. The girls feel safe and love you when you’re working it’s the best night out. Thank you for all your service. Pay rise needed

Very busy venue on a Saturday morning

Quick service used app what a god send. Staff friendly food nice and hot great value

Great place to have a breakfast one of the cheapest in brighton

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.

Teigan was very helpful and lovely

Not good .Three people behind the bar ,one serving,people waiting in line.Beer ,Abbots,not on.Paid for Abbots served Ruddles.Go to one of the others in town.

I don't expect much from Wetherspoons, but this place was pretty bad. We initially sat at a downstairs table, but we were harassed by homeless people who were going from table to table asking people for money, and eyeing up our bags and phones. It made us very uncomfortable, so we moved to a table upstairs. The place wasn't at all clean, so we had to clean the table with some hand sanitiser wipes. When we were given cutlery, it was visibly dirty, and the spoon had bits of food still stuck to it; it clearly had not been cleaned at all. The food was actually very good, but I was brought the wrong food at first, and when I told the staff member it wasn't right, he refused to believe me until I showed him the receipt on my phone (not in a rude way, he just didn't believe me). He was very apologetic at that point, and went and got me the correct food. It wasn't a big drama or anything, but I've never had that reaction to pointing out a simple error before. I also used the ladies toilets, and there was no toilet paper, and no soap. I can only assume there is a problem with staff training, and management at this pub. I hope things improve, but I won't be back to find out.

Slow service in the morning, dirty, filthy carpet.

Higher prices than some other Spoons in other local towns

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

Enjoyed the place.... very busy considering it was early on a Wednesday morning staff were good

You know what you're going to get at spoons

Had a lovely meal. Good value for money.

Typical English experience. Very nice pub with good beers for a good price. Food is a little less. Quality is just fine, but don't expect too much. Nice to visit when you are in the area! Service is also good. Fast service and good help with questions. Nothing to complain about.

Nice atmosphere and good food Plenty of places to sit And great service

Typical weatherspoons, cheep and cheerfully, this one is quite busy but you are still served quickly.

Stopped for breakfast. Can't go wrong with a wetherspoons. Service was good as was the breakfast. Enjoyed our visit.

What you see is what you get... Just had 11" pepperoni pizza and a San Miguel

Only had a coffee but the cups handed to us were dirty. When the woman changed the cups to some better ones they still weren't really clean enough!

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

Worst food i ever ate in my life. The eggs tasted like plastic. My expectations weren't high but this weatherspoon outdone themselves in providing the worst ever plate of food I've been served in my life. Stay away at all costs.

Great food & great prices me & my boyfriend love going to wetherspoons

Always very busy, great atmosphere

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.

Best place in town for a traditional English breakfast less than 6 pounds absolutely fantastic

Always have a good time there. Unfortunately now,it's being knocked down and no more Darts there . There is a new building for the Bowls.

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.

Very busy but such good value for money

Absolutely great pub with great service and delicious food and drinks at bargain prices.

A typically British gastronomic experience.

Great breakfast unusual goings on in the toilet though..? Good eggs at after 11am thamks

Went to the gents loo,it stank of stale pee,not what you want in a place that serves food...I asked the manager if they had chocolate powder for my cappuccino and he laughed in my face the rude git. None of my friends or I will be returning.....

Breakfast cold coffee machine not working down stairs

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...

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.

Huge place Cheap as it is for Wetherspoons

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
