Pub · Brighton
Tucked into a residential corner of Brighton, this is a proper old-style local that's clearly on good form under its current team — warm, clean, with a real fire going in colder months and a cosy garden out the back for when the children need to burn off energy. The kitchen is the real draw: sausage and mash, steaks, fish pie, loaded chips and burgers all get raved about, the Sunday roast is a safe bet, and there's pizza now too, so fussier eaters are covered. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and outdoor seating. Staff are genuinely friendly and the welcome is relaxed rather than starchy. Worth knowing: it's quiet midweek, which some find lacking in atmosphere but makes it far easier with small children — one visitor calls it an "underrated gem".
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.
