"when we waited for a new kocher home to be installed, we decided to go for Sunday dinner. a very disappointing experience, unfortunately. today at 12.30 a.m. we have booked a table for lunch, Sunday first impression well, nicely decorated pub, most of the employees have to welcome. 45 minutes before accepting our food (roasts,) cut in the 2 hours time slot we were allowed. I thought, however, that would be a good sign that eating could be good. However, the time was not necessary because my meat (soaked lamb) was actually inedible; they could see that it was very cheap meat, unsuitable for the roasting, as there was a lot of gristle visible directly through each. I could not cut it or chew it, and I have all my own excellent teeth. the bark of my man was also very hard with much gristle and fat, but he forced himself to eat what he could, as he was very hungry. the food was all lukewarm anyway, as the tellers were cold a basic mistake here.) eating in both cases was stacked high to dress up the very few soggy bratkartoffels underneath. the veg was mostly cauliflower, green red (the latter was tasty.) yorkshire does not splash to write home. as I could not cut or chew through my flesh, I went quietly and politely to the young girl who had taken our order and had ridiculed it from the problem. we agreed that I had the vegetarian option as replacement, as I thought it would not take too long to warm/appear. I was served and it was quite delicious, but the pasty was soggy and appeared uncooked, so again I could not eat this part. I told the staff responsible. they have not reduced the charge for this meal to the half, reflecting the half I had consumed. while this was fair, and the several waiting staff were pleasant, it made a disappointing Sunday afternoon experience and in that did ruin our Sunday. I was happy that we don't have visitors with us, especially our restaurant critic friend. on the basis of this experience, we are unfortunately the opinion that we could not risk coming back into this facility. In summary, it seems here to be a case of style over substance. .Lovely decorating, bad eating offer. I suspect inexperienced/untrained employees in the kitchen this day."

Had the pan fried cod in a caper sauce with boiled baby potatoes and mixed green veg. Not only was everything really tasty but also cooked to perfection. All the staff are friendly and go the extra mile to be helpful and make you feel...special.

We spent our Saturday evening there, the service was very friendly and the food was amazing! I ordered the cod with caper sauce and vegetables, the fish was perfect, and the vegetables were the best I have ever had! Definitely going back soon to try...more, the menu was quite big with a choice of many vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. Also, the atmosphere of the pub is very welcoming and friendly, nice people all together.

I went to The Better Half for lunch last Sunday with my family. The food was delicious and plenty of it. I had the pork belly which was succulent with lovely crispy crackling. Others had the lamb and beef which were equally impressive. The roast...potatoes and rest of the vegetables were perfectly cooked. We also ordered the cauliflower cheese as an extra and I’m so glad we did as it was one of the best I’ve had. Although full we also went for dessert. The sticky toffee pudding was moreish and the vegan plum crumble and custard very tasty. The staff were very friendly and helpful. One of my party was in a wheelchair. We informed them of this when we booked and they were able to provide a ram... View menu

I was in this pub for a frying before having great results but after my experience in this week, I felt that I had to check. at the arrival (with my older parents from shropshire and sister and family from southampton) we were told that “our...contained table was not available because in our table not even received their food.” we were asked to sit outside (it was a very cold April day) “if they organize the chaos”. after waiting patiently for 15-20 minutes (my parents were frozen) we found a table and sat down. after a long wait for eating we received what can only be described as insensitive roasts. eating was cold, the meat was over to point out that my mother could not cut through the la...

Awful roast! This so called ‘reknowned’ place for the Sunday roast was the most bland plate of rubbish I’ve had in Brighton with every pub that thinks they’re worth their salt claiming to be ‘Brighton’s best Roast’. The Thing came out missing a Yorkshire’s that...took another 15mins to arrive after the plates came out. The so called ‘Marjoram and lemon marinated chicken supreme’ was nothing more than a bland piece of unseasoned, tough, dry and reheated Roast Chicken. The ‘Roasted rosemary garlic potatoes’ again were bland and tasted nothing more than fats from the oven with no seasoning or crispness. The season veg was uncooked, cold and hard in texture. The only good thing was the service a...
