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

Cinco de nosotros fuimos a Cyan en el Grand Hotel para el almuerzo del domingo. El servicio fue amable y rápido. Los asados eran buenos y venían con grandes cantidades de verduras, patatas asadas, etc. Los cócteles también eran muy buenos. Aunque habíamos solicitado una mesa en la parte delantera mirando hacia el agua al hacer nuestra reserva nos sentamos en una mesa dentro en la parte trasera del restaurante. ¡Supongo que es quien eres!

Visited 64 degrees on Saturday evening with a reservation. The place is cozy, however small and only 4 tables and some eating spaces by tye bar, where you can watch the chef cooking. It's rather pricey, however you pay for the experience and the first class food that is being served there. We had the £70 taster menu and woooow, the food was delicious and absolutely first class. They are small portions so don't get disappointed if you are expecting full plate, as its an experience with lots of different dishes that are being served. You have option with the wine taster for extra £40, whereby you would get wine selected for the served dish. The service was good, and with each dish they would tell you what it's been made off as well as with wine, they would give you an explanation for the wine orgin. It's definitely worth it as a treat, or celebration gift for friend/family.

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 👌

Unfortunately, our experience staying in the short-let Airbnb apartment above the Regency Tavern in 2021 was extremely poor. While technically claimed to be separate businesses, the crossover is hard to ignore; staff from the pub entered the flats (without masks during the then-COVID-19 pandemic), and we were asked to settle a payment using the pub’s payment terminal. Any issues about the Airbnb were reported to Lee Thomas Cockshott, who operates both the accommodation and the pub (the latter alongside his partner, Simon Mark Peter Ebers). The building itself was in a dreadful state of repair – rotting doors, exposed live wiring, and a general lack of hygiene throughout. The accommodation did not match the advertised amenities, such as the lack of hand soap in one apartment, which Cockshott blamed on COVID-related restrictions despite hand soap being present in the other apartment. The apartments were clearly not supplied nor cleaned to any reasonable standard. We initially agreed in principle to an offline contract to move to the apartment directly next to the one we originally booked. But that agreement was effectively breached by the failure to provide safe, functioning facilities and even a basic standard of customer service. The second apartment smelled strongly of damp, had poor window seals, and Cockshott continued to behave in a needlessly hostile and sarcastic manner. We left after one night, cutting our stay short because we no longer felt safe or comfortable – not just due to the poor condition of the flats, but also because of how we were treated by Cockshott. Following our early checkout, the majority of the text messages I received from Cockshott were aggressive, evasive, or threatening. These included threats of police reports, legal action, and personal attacks, simply because we insisted on paying for the one night we stayed in the adjacent apartment. While this review is primarily about the accommodation, it is impossible to separate the two when the Regency Tavern is used to manage, access, and process payments for the flats and said pub's staff not only tended to the apartment, but could also be heard advising Cockshott during one or more of his phone calls with us. In my opinion, because of the dangerous condition of the premises, the intimidation we experienced, and previous dishonesty about the connection between the pub and the Airbnb, Cockshott should not be allowed to continue operating tourist accommodations. It's just as well that Cockshott and Ebers' other business, Le Village, shut down in 2023 after council action. I strongly advise against staying here or doing business with Lee Cockshott or Simon Ebers in any capacity.

Exciting and casual Murmur is the sister of 64 degrees and it shows It’s quite an affordable option with an incomparable view of the sea If you are on a budget go for the lunch menu so you get an idea of what the food is like Service is great

Stopped for a couple of drinks one Saturday afternoon. It's a traditional city pub, tucked away just far enough from the main roads to make it feel like a locals pub. Barman was welcoming and seemed to enjoy his job, other clientele were a varied mix creating a friendly atmosphere. Sort of pub there is not enough of these days.

Had a great time this is the spot to go!

Regular open mic nights. Irish bar, good Guinness.

Another terrific gastronomic evening at R&Fs on the beach. Fabulous fresh seafood, staff as always supper attentive and friendly - a great experience even as a solo diner.

Decent selection of wines and beers, nachos quite disappointing but whitebait was satisfying, nice beer garden but could use some outside heaters because it gets very cold when the sun goes down

Así que fuimos aquí anoche, éramos cuatro y estábamos deseando probar el nuevo menú... Si soy honesto, me decepcionó bastante, no estoy seguro si fue un chef diferente de la última vez que fuimos. Pero mi esposa y yo coincidimos en que no era tan bueno como la última vez que visitamos, lo cual es una pena, ya que recomendamos ir aquí a la gente con la que fuimos... En general pensé que era bastante promedio y definitivamente no tan bueno como antes. Lo recomendaría, pero estoy seguro de que hay mejores lugares para ir localmente.

Frequent attender for the very best seafood dishes and mayonnaise

A bit disapointing - the food was ok but not great for the price in particular compared to other venues in Brighton - bad luck with the service with staff looking overwhelmed with a fully booked restaurant

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

I visited here by accident after the venue I was planning to go to was closed for a private event. Because of the name, I had assumed this place was just good for beer but I was pleasantly surprised to find a lovely, cosy pub. Yes, there is a great range of craft beer but there's also lots of other drinks on offer, and the food we ordered was lovely too (chips were particularly good, and staff were very also helpful with dietary requirements). There was a nice, friendly vibe here and would happily return again. Great size TV for football, too (there was a match on the night I visited but only a few people seemed to be watching).
