The Sussex in Brighton and Hove - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A fabulous pub in a nice location. We had been to a cricket game in Hove and started our evening afterwards in here. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Great selection of non alcoholic beers. Very impressed. Nice outdoor seating area. Really enjoyed few drinks in here.

Everyone here was so kind, welcoming, and helpful. We had already been to a few places that had already stopped serving food or were out of our price range, when we wandered in here. There were smiles, help with the menus (for my 6 year old granddaughter) and husband and I even stayed to play our first British pub quiz! We didn't win, but we weren't the worst either. The food was delicious and we plan on visiting again, next time we're in Brighton!

What a wonderful night we had at the Sussex Quiz night! Great mixed grill (which fed 2) excellent compere and I only won £160 playing: “Play your cards right!”. Great atmosphere too.

I haven’t visited this place for 2 years, always a bad experience!!! Dirty glasses foul mouthed people and miserable staff. We came back from a beach front walk and decided on a couple of cold beers with our friends. What a different place. Good Guinness and smiling staff. Tables were all clean and definitely a different clientele. We even stayed for some bar snacks which were good. Can only assume new management, if so well done, keep it up and I’ll be back 👍

Good food. Reasonable drinks prices. Always feel welcome. Come here frequently to pursue hobbies and am always accommodated. Could do with a refresh but all in all a nice big pub.

Visited on a Saturday evening for some food and we weren't disappointed. Decent selection of drinks including some ales. Good pub food menu - the notorious p.i.g. burger was lovely. Would definitely return when in Hove.

Avoid at all costs. Steak wasn't cooked to liking was well overdone for rare, fries were cold. Childrens pizza was a chicago town microwave one and bar staff was rude when questioned about the food. Safe to say we wont be back

Great evening. We had George as a server, nice, friendly and great service. Nice food will definitely be back, thankyou

Excellent value for money, George our server was a superstar. Would recommend. Great choice of drinks and food.

Had dinner with my family tonight. Was very nice and great value! Didn’t have to wait long at all and was a great atmosphere.

I loved it here! Everyone's so friendly especially annabelle who served me! I'll be back for sure! Did the quiz night and I actually won

Went with the lads, had some food and drinks, grub was great, Jordan and George were great behind the bar

Absolutely lovely barmaid (didn’t get her name but had very cool graphic liner), couldn’t do enough. Cool pub, lots of kids running round but otherwise a calm atmosphere. Went during happy hour and very cheap drinks (by Brighton standards).

Kind and friendly staff, lovely grub, and lovely setting. Exactly what you hope for in a local pub! Prices are reasonable and location is great.

5star First visit and won’t be the last ! Would recommend the tapas which were just lovely and very good value. Great service and welcoming staff, the pub has a lovely friendly feel to it All staff were great especially Pip See you all very soon

I have become a regular at this pub! Staff are very warm and welcoming. Celina always makes me smile. Lee is always on hand. Pip is wonderful too! Thats just to name a few. The food is always hot and delivered in a good time. Couldn't find a complaint if i tried. Thanks guys for making this such a special happy inviting place to be

We stopped by just before 8pm and asked the bar man if we just grab a table for something to eat. He suggested a quiet area which was lovely. However when we went back to the bar to order just 5 minutes later we were advised that the kitchen had just closed and we couldn’t eat. To top it off, eyes were rolled at me and the same bar man simply said sorry lads, good night… Not really the usual service I would expect from such a well established company? But also shutting a kitchen at 8pm when so many people are literally heading out for dinner seems insane.

Went to the sussex with my dad, and was automatically greeted by friendly staff. Christine was so helpful and made sure we had everything we need. Food was incredible, I had a burger, and my dad had the mega mixed grill, both delicious and definitely hit the spot. Will be coming back for more!

Nice pub just wish children were not allowed to run around &play should be made sit with adults I was in there a few weeks ago there was about 8 children running round all the bars screaming not a member of staff said a word to them.The parents were busy playing cards next thing happened one knocked our table and my large vodka tonic over they did not apologise

No sound on for Football. Chris and danny passed the buck. Blamed one another. Had a disco on which no one attended. They pissed off at least 50 people by doing this. Staff taking drinks half full. Not good

Called to watch the football. Very friendly community pub with good value for money menu. Lots going on and caters for everyone. Lovely courtyard at the rear.

Lovely local pub, the new menu is much better & fresher. Drinks & happy hour for £4 a drink/pint! Had a great time with friends and Christine was very helpful

One of our favourite places for lunch or just drinks. Great food at reasonable prices. Some of the best steaks I’ve ever had. The staff are friendly and helpful, especially Lola, who always makes us smile.

Always a nice atmosphere in The Sussex 😃 Big thank you to Lola (I think 🤔) for looking after us so well 😊...this lady is a true asset to your business 👍👍👍

Great Saturday evening, brilliant food, even though the pub was busy with 2 private parties! Very quick service when ordering food & drink and wonderful friendly staff 😎

A lovely friendly pub serving really nice great value food and drinks, staff were very professional and friendly, had a lovely afternoon

Another fun filled and very entertaining evening in the Sussex, excellent to see some new teams joining in all the Thursday quiz fun and play your cards right.

we go every week for the great thursday night steak night offer + bottle of wine offer. really good food and drink. nice warm atmosphere and staff esp lola. always things going on... quiz etc and food/drink offers to entice us back other nights.

A lovely visit to The Sussex again this evening. Great to see so many people enjoying the atmosphere, we had a delicious steak dinner and enjoyed banter with the friendly efficient staff. So sorry to hear the manager is poorly and sincerely wish him all...

This is a gem of a pub, caters for all people, very friendly staff, lovely courtyard and even has a suit of armour. Well worth a look.

Lovely friendly pub. Good beer, excellent staff. They have a nice beer garden/seating area out back and a pool table(inside!) Quiz night is Thursday.

A great local community pub on Hove seafront. Cheap beer with a warm and friendly vibe. And the landlord, Mike, does an entertaining, but challenging pub quiz on a Thursday too. Come on down! (No, not that quiz!)

Excellent lasagne and chips and superb service from friendly and helpful staff. Impressive range of functions and events too.

I've lost count of the times I've eaten here. I like 'The Sussex' as its got all you could want from a pub food wise. The steak and ale pie is excellent as is the fish and chips and the Guinness is always served well....

This place has been completely turned around. I used to actively avoid it. Note I look forward to a visit. There is so much going on and it’s a great community hub. That staff are all really friendly and the food is great.

Great selection of drinks and food, the staff are always friendly and helpful!! Never any trouble. Lovely courtyard garden out the back. Pool table and 3 Tv's showing sport

Love this pub. great beer at a reasonable price. Always loads of events and great atmosphere. The pub also does loads for local charities and community projects.

The Sussex never disappoints. Wonderful pub, wonderful food, wonderful clientele and wonderful staff...always. It is the management and staff that make this place but everything else is worth trying. Check out the entertainment and fundraising that goes on. Amazing

The Sussex is a very friendly pub, great amount of events on every month, and plenty of food to choose from. Highly recommend

Meeting friends this evening, they get their slightly before me... Due to my wife being out I take my 2 children along, they came with me for a treat, but of dinner etc.

Fantastic friendly staff. Well managed too. Feel very at home here, bringing family members for lunch and dinners. Service is second to none!

Me and my partner came to the Sussex for the 1st time the other week. We have been looking at a house near by to buy. We were greeted immediately with a big smile from the lad behind the bar. Great drink selection, nice hot pub grub, which we enjoyed outside as the sun was still shining. If all goes well with the house buying, it will certainly be nice to have this pub as our local.

Good atmosphere watching rugby. Had a nice plate of fish and chips. Garden good too. Staff friendly and helpful re food order for my group

Fish and ships très mauvais , tout est triste. allez ailleurs pour un vrai plat traditionnel et une bonne ambiance

A nice pub with attractive garden near Hove sea front. This is a return visit and the pub remains good.
