The West Hill Tavern in Brighton and Hove

I had the bottomless brunch which is pizza and elderflower spritz. The food and drinks were amazing. It's a bit difficult to rate the atmosphere as I went there quite early and the place was almost empty. I really enjoyed the place though.

My partner booked the West Hill Tavern for my birthday get-together. They set aside half of the venue for our exclusive use and provided full dj set up so that my friends and I could play some tunes. The pizzas were great and drinks kept flowing for the 9 hour duration. The staff were friendly and helpful (even keeping tabs on how many of my friends had paid for my next drink). Will definitely head back and another friend has booked their works Chridtmas party there

Absolutely gorgeous food in a chilled relaxed pub. Inviting to children and pets. The food came out fresh and steaming hot. The portions are large and will definitely fill you up.

Had a party here with Karaoke, the staff were amazing and so friendly and the venue is perfect for any gathering, will definitely be coming back. Thank you for making our event special.

Just had the most fantastic lunch . Everything was utterly superb, the service was agin supern. Maddie and her team looked after us , nothing was to much to much trouble. Thank you Maddie and the team . Looking forward to visiting again very soon.

The lady that served me was really lovely, the food was pretty good, and I’d return any day. A bit pricey, but I’d recommend the place, definitely. Very nice. 😊

An excellent Brighton pub with comfortable spaces, friendly staff and a great range on tap. We often stop in on the way past for a beer and a chat, and it's one of our favourites for their delicious vegan Sunday roast!!!

Love this local Brighton pub! This is a welcoming place with a great Brighton vibe, perfect for popping in for a beer and a chat, or a Sunday afternoon with one of their delicious vegan roasts!!!

Amazing, traditional pub. Lovely food, great atmosphere.

Amazing! Staff were really friendly and the Sunday Roast was beautiful. We left full and extremely happy. Would absolutely recommend this place. Thank you guys!!

Took a chance on booking a Sunday lunch, and so glad we did! One of the best roasts we’ve had, absolutely delicious and super service from Maddie. Will definitely be back - highly recommended.

Good food but have a sneaky service charge which they sneak on to the bill. Put your prices up if you need to but don’t go sneaking stuff on the bill please, this is not acceptable

This is the best Sunday roast I’ve ever had in my life. Compliments to the chef.

The staff is super friendly and professional. I have been there twice and food is amazing. Really good quality and generous portions and the cauliflower and cheese is unreal. Totally recommend this pub for a Sunday Roast if you are in the area.

I love this little pub, the staff are friendly and it has a really good atmosphere. The roasts are gorgeous, and l try to eat there regularly on a Sunday. I've never been disappointed.

Such a nice cosy pub. Independent, delicious choice of beers, lovely staff. Gotta support the local pubs. Do it! Didn't eat there, but the pizzas whizzing by looked very tasty.

Nice atmosphere and selection of drinks. Alcohol-free friendly. Good food deal for kids.

A really fantastic Sunday roast! I cook a great Sunday roast myself so am often disappointed when I eat one out, not this time!! It was marvelous!!!!

Best pizza around. The prices are great, the service is great, and everyone working there is super friendly. Couldn't ask for more

I was there hosting a charity quiz event, but I was thoroughly impressed with the place. Good layout, comfortable seating, good service, and the pizzas looked good too. I shall look forward to our next one.

The Sunday roasts were incredible big portions packed full of flavour... highly recommended.

Best roast I've had in a while. Unlike some pubs, they understand that a roast is actually a hot meal. Will definitely visit again.

Jank food. Expensive. Surely staff. Noisy and crowded. Roast was rubbish. Avoid.

The westhill is one of my many local pubs, and I always enjoy going in with our family. Not only are the staff always friendly, they are also really family and dog friendly. The pizzas are also delicious, I get a meat pizza but with vegan cheese and it is by far one of the best dairy free pizza in Brighton. It's also 241 on Tuesdays! Beers are a nice selection, but miss the cask 😭. Definitely recommend and will continue to spend many a day's hiding in the westhill on a rainy day

Best roasts in Brighton in my opinion! Nice location too with some good views over the station. Lovely staff too!

Amazing Sunday lunch, the best I’ve eaten. Vegetarian option was amazing!

The pub itself is lovely - nice atmosphere and great service. But the beer selection is terrible. Basic lager and a couple of standard keg pale ales and IPAs

Good and convenient space arrangements for a birthday, friendly locals ... and efficient service from Ted Lasso look alike and his team.

So pleased we found this place for Sunday lunch - it was the best Sunday roast ever. There was a choice of beef, lamb and pork belly, plus a vegetarian and vegan option. It was a very generous plate of food. As well as (plenty of slices of) beef it came with a Yorkshire pudding, roasties, red cabbage, broccoli, green beans, roast carrots, mashed swede, and plenty of gravy. We also ordered cauliflower cheese which was just as delicious as everything else! And the service matched the quality of the food.

Local drinks and a good atmosphere (even during a pub quiz) both more than make up for the hill the pubs on!

You have to try the roast!!! Truly one of the best I’ve had.

If you can get a table, eat here, the food is amazing. I was blown away, can't wait to go back.

Came here as my friend wanted to and said they do Italian and pizza. I was very skeptical . However I was pleasantly surprised. I had the Bon chovi , which tasted good and some olives. Nice wine and good service

Pretty average. Maybe a little tired. Decor could use a spruce. Food seemed a little on the expensive side for the cost. (Roast).

Roast dinner is 1 of the best in brighton and they got cauliflower cheese yummie

Good local pub, very nice pizzas

Roast is great and staff is very kind and friendly.

Sunday roast…..really delicicous 👌 I warmly recommend 👍

The pizza was a bit spicy but very good. Can never go wrong with a pint of Guiness. Friendly Staff.

Came in last Sunday and had the best roast I've had in Brighton for a very long time. Staff are friendly and attentive... Will definitely be back even if poor Scooby did get covered in mint sauce 😂

Just tried to order a simple pint at the bar but not allowed without a booking. Bar is half empty but my pint is certainly empty.

Joined as a party of 18 for the bottomless brunch with pizza. Visit was for a hen do, and the waitress was lovely and very attentive. She made sure the group was looked after. Issue came with the food, which took 1 hour 20 minutes between the first person getting their food to the last. The majority of the group were left hungry waiting for food, only to be told after ordering the kitchen could only serve 3 pizzas every 15 minutes. The pizzas themselves were good when they arrived, but not acceptable to serve in such a manner. The waitress initially removed the service charge, only to be followed by a rude and irrational manager who should know better working in this industry. Don’t accept bookings if you are unable to serve them as a group, and be considerate when speaking to your customers. Telling your customer your staff won’t get paid because the service wasn’t paid is ethically questionable. Lovely food and location, marred by the rude management so disappointing overall which is the driver for the rating. [Update to owner response]: There are no reviews of similar sized groups with the pizza brunch offer so could not compare to understand if this was a one off experience. Previous reviews do mention rude staff, which is always disappointing. This review is being shared to allow other large groups to consider information we were unable to at the time of booking as, by your own admission, you are unable to serve large groups the pizza menu. You hurriedly explained the small kitchen only AFTER the booking had been made, the group seated and food ordered, AND the initial food was slow to the table. Previous reviews also mention you are able to serve roasts for groups of 20 with little delay, so you ought to consider your ability to serve large groups when it is you who offers a pizza only menu. It is your responsibility as a restaurant to inform that prior to any booking is made, or even before ordering so the group could have ordered pizzas to share. That way the delay in pizzas would not have left the majority of the group without food. Nearly an hour wait for food (even by your questionable timings) is excessive and not justifiable. You accepted a group booking for a large number of pizzas, and were unable to deliver. The initial delay in ordering (c. 20 minutes) was driven by your staff who explained they would set up drinks first, and only then would take our orders. Had you known you would struggle with this at the time of booking (presumably your kitchen has not drastically reduced in sized overnight) you could have had the foresight to take a pre-order. In addition, consider taking the food order first to make head way on those ahead of the drinks on arrival. You ought to speak to your staff before posting as the group did query the delay with the food throughout the service. Your staff member also printed a new receipt with no service charge upon the final query which was handed to our party, which is when they proceeded to pay. There was no issue with the food itself when it finally arrived and so the service was queried in the first instance. Had you been available to discuss an alternative there could have been another option, but your staff member made the decision without you to remove it. Service charge is not enforceable (even on large groups) when it is not at an acceptable level. You simply served the equivalent of 5-6 small tables. In this instance the full bill was paid as your updated receipt would show. Agreed on the server’s attentiveness at the onset of the booking, which I called out in the review and the lead guest was arranging a cash tip to reflect this after the delay of food was identified. This was retracted after her attitude changed upon your arrival and became rude to the group. Considering the above, you should stick to groups and offers you are able to service if you are able to do these well. For larger groups this evidently is not an area you can cater to as well and the review reflects that.

I believe ratings are justified on what's to be expected and what's provided so for that I can see no bad. This day and age to be doing what West Hill is doing I think deserves 5stars

Came here as a group of 20 for my birthday on Sunday. We’ve had a roast here before, which was excellent, so I was hoping it would be just as good the second time (especially being such a big group; and a 4pm sitting which in other pubs can sometimes mean roasts aren’t as fresh). It did not disappoint. The food was delicious, hot, and the staff were absolutely lovely. Hats off to the chef who can send our 20 faultless roasts with crispy roast potatoes in the space of 5 minutes! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves, thank you so much for another great meal :)

One of Brighton's absolute BEST roasts by far. Super friendly staff too. Book ahead to avoid disappointment. Also get the cauliflower cheese

Amazing roasts! Definitely be returning soon😍

Local boozer run by the lowliest of people. Bit like Cheers, it's a place you go where everybody knows your name. My go to if I want to grab a pizza and a well balanced negroni and to meet my friends. Highly recommended.

Quiz night. Wednesdays. Great fun, tough questions, recommended. And pizza. Good ones.

Wow! This roast was worth every penny. The pub has a cosy atmosphere and it was the perfect environment to enjoy the delicious roast in. Each element of the meal was absolutely gorgeous, I will be coming back.

The best roast I’ve ever had in a pub, very generous portions and it was all delicious. The service is really friendly too!

Popular pub near the station and overlooking the railway approach into Brighton. Real ales, food, and events such as quiz nights.

Like the pub and the pizza is decent

Brilliant pub with inspired pizza and a great drink selection ! The ham and mushroom pizza has the best crisped ham on it!!

Cosy little pub that does great pizzas!

Absolutely delicious Sunday roast, every element was spot on - love that they do half sizes which is more than enough for me! Staff very attentive and a really cute little pub overall

Excellent! Great Sunday roast! Fantastic people.

Service is always amazing and so is the Sunday roast. I’ve got to say we are yet to find a roast better than this one. From the portions, meat, veggies down to the gravy is so tasty. The pork belly - yum!! Whenever we have friends coming to see us in Brighton, we try to take them here for a Sunday lunch. Excellent 👌 Just yesterday we booked a table and brought a friend with us and he loved it!

Nice pub, nice staff, nice gluten free pizzas

Muy tranquilo, 13h00, sofás antiguos y muy cómodos. Buena selección de cervezas y algún whisky interesante

Just popped in for a drink. Staff were lovely. It looked nice and cozy

Absolutely delicious roast dinner. The cauliflower cheese was yummm. So much food, we left happy with very full bellies. Great wine and bloody marys. The staff were lovely, really attentive and efficient. A well deserved 10/10.

Love the Sunday Roasts. The best we’ve had in Brighton. Go for the lamb it’s delicious. Thank you for great service. Will definitely be back

Lovely staff, great vibes, Balearic jazz infused tunes by the always awesome DJs and delicious pizza! What more do you want? Also they do excellent and generous roasts on Sundays 💪🏾

Went for a Sunday roast and couldn't have been more pleased! It tasted amazing and the service and atmosphere were wonderful.

We booked a table at the West Hill for Sunday lunch with family & friends. We had such a lovely time, all of the staff are so friendly and made us feel right at home. The vibe & the bloody Mary’s are great and as for the roasts - well they are delicious. We all cleaned our plates (they are large portions!) lovely selection of sides & desserts too. Loved the truffle cauli cheese and pigs in blankets! We’ll be back!

Great pub. Unique atmosphere and music is tops

Best roast dinner from a pub I've ever had!

A local pub that you have to know about to find if you are a tourist, very nice and friendly staff. Away from the city centre

Food was unbelievable and the staff were brilliant. Pub has a great vibe and perfect for for what we wanted. Highly recommended.

Great place! Super friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and fabulous pizzas. It’s a ‘must’ visit - you won’t be disappointed!

Sunday Roast is superb excellent value for money

I booked a table for 6 for bottomless brunch for my sister's hen and I'm so glad I did! Emma our host was just amazing!! As soon as we walked in, she was full of energy and knew our booking instantly (we dressed my sister up in a wedding dress and gigantic 80s style veil). She was so attentive and made our experience feel very special. The prosecco cocktails were constantly flowing, not like other brunches where they get a bit stingy. We had passionfruit, orange and an elderflower all on the go and the carafes were huge!! The pizza was the perfect size and the toppings were very high quality. It was £25pp and incredible value for money considering how much prosecco we all went through in an hour and a half.The venue itself is friendly, bright, clean and has good music playing (lots of motown which is always welcome). I couldn't recommend this pub enough! Thank you so much for helping to make my sister's hen the best it could be Emma, you were fab!!!

Went here for the vegan Sunday roast as it’s at the end of our street The food was very nice with quick and efficient service What lets them down is the selection of low quality wines and at £8 per glass that’s something that needs to be sorted before we come back

Lovely pub and staff. The Bar team are super friendly and the place has a really nice atmosphere about it. The West Hill Tavern had been recommend to me by friends after they had been there and had the Sunday roast. Needless to say the roast was every bit as nice as I had been told it was. I have already recommended it to friends and colleagues as the place to go the next time they fancy a Sunday Roast out or even a nice drink. A great little pub with a fantastic team.

Wheelchair users can enter the building, but don’t know about accessible toilets.Toilets were clean and tidy Food options for Sunday were varied and interesting, not standard fare for lunch. vegan options available.Portion sizes were very generous. Food was delicious, flavorsome, with thought going into there creation. Cost of food was very reasonable, though I feel it would justifiable to charge more because of the amount and quality:Staff was friendly, warm and welcoming. It’s a little gem just outside the center that should be frequented by brightonians and visitors alike It’s a highly recommendable places

Fantastic little Pub, popped in to see Pete bones for a record launch... Strange times what with covid, staff a little rude but they were understaffed....

Lovely staff & beer. Pizza’s weren’t so great, sadly.

Loved it. Great location away from the tourists and really nice pizza with a great selection of beer.

The most lovely little pub, so very accommodating and a lovely chill place to be in a hot day especially! Great quality pizza and mimosas come in huge glasses, would highly recommend to anyone!!!

Best roast in Brighton! The kitchen deserve 5 stars. Our 5 noisy little ones were less appreciated, hence the 4 stars. But if you're not a young family, you won't find a better lunch.

Best Sunday dinner excellent yorkies Great atmosphere Very welcoming staff

Great meal & all round experience last night. Booked a table with my parents for our first post-lockdown meal. Great selection of pizzas & drinks which suited all tastes from the grandparents to teenagers.Great music playlist. Lovely staff. Just a wonderful reminder of everything that’s brilliant about our British pubs.

Excellent service from the moment we walked in. Sunday roast was fantastic and portion sizes were great value for money. Under tier 2 restrictions, they have a great selection of food with hand sanitisers dotted around, and staff wearing masks at all times. My only fault would be that tables aren't necessarily far enough apart. Although this didn't really bother us, we know it may be a factor for others visiting. Will definitely visit again!

The Sunday roast served here are genuinely good for your soul. As someone who enjoys a roast, the one served here is one of the best I have ever experienced. Do yourself a favour and experience it firsthand, definitely will not regret it.

Bohemian artisan boutique pub! Welcoming and friendly, art on every wall and the food is excellent. Slightly limited menu but if they do it, they do it very well. Great experience, thank you for having us!

Nice low-key quiet boozer. Worth the trek up the hill.

Wonderful toasties , staff lovely , landlady so lively and welcoming. Distancing well thought out perfect place for an afternoon with friends

3 tequilas for 10 was a very welcome deal one rainy day after work. I highly recommend stopping here for a refresher if you're climbing the hill

Great service and cosy atmosphere. Excellent homemade pizza too 😋

I had the Squash, spinach and mushroom Wellington and it was amazing. The portions are large and very tasty. There are options for vegans and vegetarians. My friends had the lamb roast and the nut roast and they all agreed that it was tasty. The service was great too. Will definitely return

Great Sunday lunch friendly service nice beer

Gorgeous Sunday roasts made with love! Delicious vegetarian options, the veggie Wellington is spot on, crispy roast potatoes and all the trimmings. ( You won't leave hungry) Not a meat eater but the look of the local lamb, could've turned me! Super service from smiley people. Well worth a visit!

First drink and toasty in what could be my new local

Such a cool little spot! Tucked away near Brighton Station up the hill to Seven Dials, it’s a proper little jewel. I love it’s re-imagination as a work/arts hub - that shows work by local artists that you can buy! Plus their new mural outside is a great example of the art they do. Delicious grilled sandwiches ! And super lovely hosts. Looking forward to going back in the evening for some girlie drinks. What Brighton is all about! Thanks for the hospitality guys... !! See you soon x

One of the best roasts in town. You'll need to book on a Sunday. Also really good (Cosmic?!) pizzas with a cheaper deal Tues/weds

Came here with the girls on the Friday night at about 9.30pm and were served quickly and found a table to sit on. The pub had a good atmosphere and the staff were friendly and helpful. The kitchen was no longer open but the staff said we could order food in from outside if we wanted which I thought was a nice touch! We didn’t order anything in but it was nice to hear! Friendly place with excellent choice of drinks! 


this place never disappoints ! amazing Sunday roast and superb service ! thanks guys for another lovely Sunday afternoon.

Good after work drink here with friends. Cool vibe, dark and lots of doggos. ❤️

Lovely little pub with great atmosphere close to home :) I'm planning on trying the pizza on my next visit

Love this place, a great spot close to the station and seven dials, with plenty going on during the week. Great food, great staff, and a lovely pub.
