Pub · Brighton
A Thai kitchen inside a proper Brighton pub, and the food genuinely delivers — khao soi with prawn, crispy squid, bang bang chicken and pad Thai all get raved about, and one Thai diner said the flavours tasted like home. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and outdoor benches, and the pub sits in a quieter pocket of town, so the tables outside are a decent bet with a pram. Inside is cosy — candlelight, subdued lighting, a few snug corners that go first if you arrive late. Two honest snags: food is cooked to order, so waits can be long with hungry children, and it gets loud at peak times. Drinks are steep for what they are. The bar team are consistently warm, and the Sunday roast is worth knowing about too.
