the most excellent choice of sunday roast for a very reasonable price.
Speedy service & excellent & friendly staff.

visited the pub on my birthday for a sunday roast (beef). amazing food and very friendly atmosphere. definitely visit again!

nice pub but unfortunately have had a couple of bad experiences with the food. I don't expect a microwaved burger for £7.

another nice pub in the lanes worth a visit

Agree with previous comment. Food was good. We got there early and it was virtually empty but I eventually had to politely ask the two members of staff behind the bar, who were having a discussion, if there was any chance of getting a drink only to be told that "patience is a virtue". Customer service is something they need to bear in mind. I'll use the Basketmakers Arms across the road in future.

Been there 16/Sep/07. Very relaxed and groovy atmosphere, friendly staff but they sometimes chats away with each other and forget to get customer attentions. Beers were OK, my roast lamb tasted OK too, but my partner's pork were quite dry and therefore very tough! we went there at 3pm and noticed that no one has ordered pork, maybe was just unlucky. All in all, a nice modern deco for a pub with decent food portion.

Back this week after a 2 or 3-year absence. Staff were helpful and friendly, and the food was fine. GKIPA not really my 'cup of tea', but I had 4 pints so it couldn't have been too bad!

Good range of Lagers and in an area full of top class pubs - you can do a good 6 pub mini crawl without even getting near the centre of Brighton round this way.
|
Staff are lovely. foods become amazing and really good value for money since the new chef took over December 2006

This talk of agism is rubbish. Good lot of beers on tap. Super menu, but don't go unless you are REALLY hungry.
|
Greene King beers aren't really my cup of tea, so I can only comment on the decor (Brighton trendy) and the staff (friendly enough).
Worth a look but a bit pricey. The Basketmakers over the road is better.
|
I must admit I quite liked the place. It was during the afternoon and a bit on the quiet side but I didn't feel any ageism (i'm over 50) or maybe i'm just too thick skined to notice.
Nicely done out and worth another visit.

What an unusual pub. The mixture of tasty food with a club-like atmosphere makes it not the ideal place to eat food. And the prices are steep, even by Brighton standards.

Can only agree with the previous post by timkholman. I won't exactly slag the Eagle but it's not my cup of Darjeeling. Maybe my age has got something to do with it but felt a lot more welcome over the road
|
I'm over 25, so received some very black looks from the barstaff before one of them served me. It's a good place for food, but the choice of drinks is mundane. The Basketmakers over the road is a much better all-round pub.

Got great food for veggie and vegans, but unfortunately also has one of the most obnoxious managers in the South East. Customers appear to be a major source of annoyance for him whilst he chats to friends or adjusts the volume of the music. If you can ignore the terrible service it's worth a visit.

Probably one of the best pubs for food in Brighton. The pub has its own bakery and does an unusual range of breads - some with booze in them! - that can also be bought and taken home by the punters.
The food is exceptional - freshly cooked, caters particularly well for the veges, and good quantities as well as quantity. Their sunday roasts are not quite up to scratch though - I would recommend their midweek and saturday menu more. The upstairs can be booked as a function room, and when crowded downstairs, opens as additional seating. They have some fab metal artwork up there made by some prizewinning bloke. They take cards behind the bar and will run you a tab. Look out for the built-in aquarium in the wall.
Having praised it so far, I would definately recommend it for a meal at lunchtime, but not so much for a booze-up with your mates as it's quite smart in a renovated way and not as appealing as a spit and sawdust watering hole in that respect.

Fantastic food and atmosphere - only problem being that they took there best over food - Banger n Mash (of superior quality mind) off the menu for summer! Lets hope it comes back on!

Fantastic pub! Gorgeous food, including bread baked in it's own bakery in the pub, which you can also buy to take home. Only complaint is that it's a bit noisy, especially on Sunday afternoos, when most people just want to have lunch and chill.

Food is so so. I've eaten there a few times because I've heard that it's good, but it really needs something.....flavour....yes, flavour I think. The staff is pretentious so don't be suprised if you wait by the bar for a while before they stop talking amongst themselves. Looking for good pub food? Try the Hop Poles on middle street.

possibly the best pub in brighton - does absolutely amazing food (the specials board is longer than monst pub's normal menus) with loads of veggie and vegan options, has friendly staff and is in a great location in the north laines but its still possible to get a table at lunchtime.
