Restaurant · Brighton
An old pub tucked into the Lanes, this one comes with the practical basics sorted — high chairs, a kids' menu, room to get a buggy in, and tables outside if the little ones need air and you need a breather. Sunday roasts and pub food are the mainstay, and the beer range on tap is genuinely good. Be warned, though: it's touristy and pricier than most pubs nearby, ordering is by QR code at the table, and it's cashless — worth knowing before you arrive with a hungry toddler and only coins. Food has been hit and miss lately, with several families waiting a long stretch for fairly ordinary plates, and one parent found the roast "drowning in gravy". Fine for a drink and a sit-down; go in with modest expectations on the food.
