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

We were staying at the white horses hotel across the road but decided to pick up a takeaway breakfast so we could sit down by the beach. We went back for lunch and the cake and then breakfast the next day too!! The food is unreal!! The nicest breakfast I’ve ever had. The coffee is fantastic. And the cakes I will dream about……

Good ambience and beach views. Our £17 glass of champagne was served in a plastic glass! Nachos were tasty and fresh.

Best brunch/cafe around! Pancakes are delicious and American style with maple and streaky bacon (writing as an American, I really appreciate this ☺️). Mushrooms are unexpectedly delicious! Can be a bit crowded/noisy on weekends but who can blame the crowds? It's an obvious choice for a laid-back coffee or, even better, chocolate chai latte.

Traditional pub on the seafront at Rottingdean. Snug downstairs bar and an upstairs room with an attractive balcony. Real beer (mainly or entirely Harvey's) and a good selection of food. No parking. Bus stop (several routes) and (crowded) public car park nearby.

Found this lovely place while out walking, no inside seating but we were lucky it was a nice dry day, there is shelter to sit under, lots of dogs too which was good as we had ours. Nice cuppa coffee & a scone , only thing was butter was to hard & my scone all fell to pieces, although it was tasty.

Received a gift box of cheeses, cured meats and craft beers from The Great British Charcuterie. Some wonderful flavours all round, and as a gift it was all very well-wrapped and presented and delivered swiftly. Would definitely think of sending as a gift to someone else as a bit more unusual.

Muy útil en el centro cafe tarner. La comida tiene buena aunque no comimos. Yo tenía un servicio encantador y un chocolate caliente y sabrosa en un ambiente agradable para bebés

We stumbled upon this little café during our walk and were pleasantly surprised by the delicious food, excellent service, and fun 80s music. The gentleman behind the bar was incredibly kind and thoughtful. Thank you!

Parked my van here many times. Great view, food and facilities. Great choice of food. Friendly staff, and the community chat.

The pub must consider advertising it is under "New New Management" because as a local, I attributed being under "New" Management with the former regime who turned my favourite pub in Rottingdean into an absolute shambles after they took over. Only after chatting with an old timer at the Post Office, he told me the old regime left and there is a new landlord. Are you sure? Yes, he assured me I should give it a go again. The old chap was right. Standards now exist. The food doesn't taste like it was hauled out of the Iceland freezer, it now is tasty. Both the garden (which I always fancied on the rare mild day) and inside is great. The former regime had no clue what the wifi password was. Mobile coverage is nil because the useless council will not approve the building of a new mast after the one at White Horses was removed during the renovation. Anyway, the new owners seem to care about customer service and making it a decent experience out. It is probably too dog friendly, but compared to what the previous regime did to this pub, I will endure the hounds if it means enjoying this pub, now that it has been recalled to life. Well done, Black Horse. Giddyup!

Fabulous ambience... pleasant staff. Unbelievable value and quality. A wonderful brunch ... not a place for those on a diet!!

I came for a roast on Sunday. I didn't have a booking but gentleman at the bar was very kind and found a place for me even at the busiest hour of the day. After ordering, I had my food on table in ten minutes, presentation was excellent and staff very helpful. Beef roast was the best I had in years, meat was fresh and soft, done to perfection. Veggies were divine and roast potatoes as well. Definitely worth the price. Will come back again...

Lovely staff, food and authentic Italian experience looking forward to trying the specials board ❤️

Très bon dîner dans ce pub de Rottingdean. Le Pimms (apéritif) est très bien préparé (beaucoup de fruits). Nous avons aussi apprécié les Linguines (crabe & gambas) ainsi que la salade saumon et crevettes (assiette très copieuse). Les desserts sont excellents mais les parts moins généreuses que celles des plats. A conseiller si vous souhaitez éviter les prix excessifs des restaurants du bord de mer.

I ate at this restaurant whilst staying in the attached hotel. Service was good and food was excellent. I visited on a Thursday evening when there was a ‘half price steak’ night which excellent value. The wine list was limited but with a good selection of options available.
