Pub · Brighton
Tucked away in Kemptown, this old-style pub hides a proper Thai kitchen behind its cosy front bar — and the green curry is the thing families keep coming back for, with plentiful portions at prices that feel almost unfair for Brighton. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, and the staff are consistently warm and unhurried. Sunday roasts have returned for the cooler months, with tender lamb and good Yorkshires. Two honest caveats: it gets genuinely busy and loud at peak times — one visitor found the noise overwhelming — and the tables aren't large, so a family of six with prams will feel squeezed. Booking ahead solves most of that. Go early evening or on a quieter afternoon and it's a snug, friendly spot with food far better than the frontage suggests.
