The Brunswick, Hove

This pub is getting better - they're clearly making an effort. The decor used to be a bit stark but it's been improved and has more character giving it a generally more welcoming feel. It's still a contemporary style, so if you're looking for an old school traditional local, it's not for you.

They do a lot of entertainment - mostly pretty high quality. There's a good sized room with a stage featuring a wide variety of musicians - both local and touring bands. There seems to be something on most nights.

I tried the Sunday roast and have to agree with richards_bird - it was peculiarly tasteless and only included one roast potato. There were other things in there that seemed to be just for show, including something orange with so little flavour it simply couldn't be identified. I've eaten other things there occasionally and it's been OK.

Overall, I think it's a decent place - if they sort out the grub it'll be in good shape.
