The Duke of Norfolk, Brighton

the pub has a great atmosphere and a good selection of beers. had a sunday roast there on 4/Nov/07, meat tasted a bit dry, very thin gravy, very soft and overcooked vegetables (which are great if you've got bad tooth!). Overall, great place for drinks, but not for food.

Great atmosphere and very friendly staff, although they may get chatted away with you and forget about serving other people.
I've been there twice and both time I was after Sunday roast, it was absolutely great! Tried beef/lamb/pork/nutloaf with friends, all were delicious (and not over-cooked which I hate!) It's a place I know I can rely on if I'm after a good Sunday roast.

The Basketmakers Arms, Brighton

just been there and the food was average. I was after a great Sunday roast after seeing the "good food" stickers on their windows, but sadly, the roast meal was very average. The pub is full of characters with it's low ceiling and very traditional deco. good ranges of beer and staff was very friendly and chatty.
My partner and I ordered beef and lamb roast respectively, both our meats were very dry and actually tasted like the meal you'd get in those frozen packaged roast meal. the gravy was very thin and quite tasteless. However, if you are a vegetarian, then you could actually getting a very nice treat. The vegetables that comes with the roast meal was absolutely fantastic, you can actually taste the freshness and it's very well-cooked. What's more, all the roast meal comes with 2 Yorkshire puddings! all in all, average food it may be, the pub is still worth visiting coz I really like the deco and the ales there.
