Pub du Vin, Brighton

Love this pub.
The decor is different, nothing I could fault apart from the painted on peeling paint, a little tacky but its brand new so ill give it a chance to age properly - then they wont have to fake it.

I was delighted to find a range from Darkstar, and thoroughly enjoyed my pint.
The food was of very good quality and for the price, definitely a bargain - can i reccomend the bar snacks - from home made scotch eggs to rock oysters. You really cant complain.

The service was friendly and courteous - if a little lacking in enthusiasm, but maybe the young bartender was shy.

I am a fan of this pub, and will look forward to many more visits. Just beware of older more "propper" clientelle, who will be offended if you have a loud conversation involving hearty laughing a more colourful vocabulary, I think maybe people are confusing this with hotel du vin? Thats next door.

The Victory Inn, Brighton

Had a lovely pint of ale here. Pub was spotless. Food decent, not the gourmet affair most pubs tend to be leaning to - honest hearty pub food - just as it says on the tin. Will be back.

The Mash Tun, Brighton

I love this pub on a weekend night, lovely atmosphere and perfectly suited to students. However I went there for a sunday roast today and has to be said this is the worst roast I have ever encountered (even worse than mine, and my cooking skills are pretty horific) Meat a little cold and didnt seem to have been roasted at all, soggy - boiling veg and watery gravy. Lovely to drink in just avoid the food!
