The best restaurants serving British food in Regency Brighton and Hove South East

Managed to get a table for a set lunch as part of Octoberbest. The food really is sensational with great service and atmosphere.

Best sausage rolls i ever had, nice selection very friendly service perfect for breakfast or a snack nothing but good things to say about this place If you like a good authentic sausage roll this is the only place to go

If you're looking for excellent seafood by the beach, this is the place. Generous portions, friendly staff, excellent food and not overpriced, this place was a dream!! Cannot recommend enough! The chips were perfect 👌

Brilliant Sunday lunch! The perfect place to entertain and will be back. Great find.

Not for me. Positives - fantastic staff, lovely settings and nice wines. Negatives - the food was hit n miss. The soup the best dish, but my tandoori sea bass was overcooked, with the skin so burnt it was bitter. The bread tasted stale and the smoked haddock croquettes were pretty much all potato, so I could barely taste any fish. All 5 courses (6 if you included the oysters we added) came out way too quick - we were in and out in 90 minutes. The shared table thing doesn’t work. People don’t like/want it. Overall, definitely a step up on the old seafront R&F, but I just don’t get it. I think there are much better options in Brighton at this price point.

Only bar snacks available, but a good pint of Guinness is had .

Spotted by chance, had some Thai food very good a bit out of the blue would recommend as Thai restaurant in a good old fashion pub.

We had a lovely evening. Despite the restaurant being exceptionally busy during the day and some courses not being available we were not disappointed with the food which was cooked to perfection. Excellent service and great ambience too! Will be back soon.

Staff are friendly, food great value, we came last week and couldn’t wait to come back! Thanks chef Ben!

Always delicious food. Standard fish and chips done very well. This time tried the grilled garlic king prawns and the fish pie -- both vert tasty! Three courses with glass of wine was £40.

OK for a drink,big venue lots of tvs for sport did not have food.

Had a really hearty drink in here and wow, it was expensive ! Enjoyed the visit, chap behind bar was very helpful, basic toilet facilities.

As we don’t know Brighton well, we chose Browns for a family celebration thinking it would be a safe bet. Apart from feeling very disorganised, the food was dreadful. None of it was good quality (we had lobster, steaks, fish & burger), cooked terribly and poorly presented. For the cost of the bill, it was dreadful.

Food and service was okay, but I was bribed with a shot to write a good review. So I guess it was good!

Alas no longer the Melrose. It has belonged to The Regency (next door) for some years and they decided to call it by an Italian name but it is still run as the old Melrose but with fewer dishes and prices still the same as next door. For years we though they were rivals, but no, same food, interchangeable waiters and, as always much emptier than next door.
