Pub · Brighton
Right by Brighton station, this is a proper old-school pub — small, traditional, and genuinely welcoming rather than polished. Families get a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, though the main draw for parents is that the outdoor seating gives you room to spread out when the inside fills up, which it does most evenings and weekends. The food comes over from the Sri Lankan place next door and is worth ordering: the calamari gets rave notices, and the fish and chips go down well with children. Staff are chatty and helpful, and dogs are welcome too. It's a beer-lovers' pub at heart, so expect a lively grown-up buzz rather than a quiet corner — one visitor found it "really busy" but with plenty of room outside. Cheap, cheerful, and handy for the train home.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
A well-loved Brighton hot pot spot with vegan options and a shared, sociable style of eating that's easy and fun with kids.
