Nce traditional pub with lovely mulled wine for Christmas. However I wouldn’t return to eat here as someone had their dog sitting on a table throughout my visit and was never challenged by the staff.
Things are a bit hazy on this pub as we'd been to a few before but I remember the staff being friendly and a selection of beers. Nice pub, good atmosphere. Would go back
Love the staff, very friendly. Vegan wellington 80% root veg and same texture/flavour. Cooked OK. I would have liked more variety and some protein. I love gravy. It was swimming and where the table was too small for 6 people it became difficult to eat. The noise and congestion in the pub was overwhelming. People generally shouting to people next to them to be heard. Our table was against a wall on the right where there just wasn’t enough space. I like the pub and want to rate it better, but the experience I had wasn’t good for these reasons. I feel like some tables should have less people, and maybe they can do something about the acoustics of the space if they are going to seat that many people in it
To kick off then night a few German beers, great depth and flavour. Following on we took on the T bone steak. Cooked to perfect with great variety of sides. Service from Ashley was 5 star providing us with service through, following up with all you can eat apple turnovers. All round perfect experience Thankyou Ashley and the team xx
Came here for Sunday roast lunch which they’ve now started again for the cooler season and it was absolutely amazing. Best I’ve had in town perfect Yorkshire pudding lashings of gravy tender lamb cooked overnight and such friendly stuff especially Aimée! Worth a detour but try to book in advance or authentic British Sunday roast also they have beef and pork and chicken
What a charming boozer! Just a short walk from the pier, the Mucky Duck has a great local atmosphere, a wide range of beers – and the guys behind the bar make a wonderful Bloody Mary to take the edge off on a Sunday morning. Called in, post-half-marathon, and was really impressed with the beef roast, one of the best I’ve ever had – and keenly priced at well under £20. Highly recommended!
One of my favourite spots in Brighton! Staff are always so attentive and welcoming and never fail to put a smile on your face. Food is exceptional especially on the Sunday when they do their Sunday roast, the pork belly I had last time was to dream for. Could do with a bigger tv however?
Visited yesterday for a birthday celebration booked by a friend, and unfortunately we had a disappointing experience. We arrived to find the party of 15 was split across two tables, not uncommon for a Pub but we had hoped to be told in advance of this. When we arrived there was no real contact from staff, no cutlery given until the last minute, and only after 50 minutes did they tell us upon enquiring that they were waiting for us to tell them to put the food through. Again, absolutely fine, but a quick communication when we arrived would have solved this. Food had all been ordered in advance and yet the person whose birthday it was still had to stand at the bar going through the order, and it still then came out wrong with an extra Lamb roast dinner. They then tried to charge us for this, and it took us taking over and going through the bill for them to show it was in fact just the single Lamb roast which they already knew was an error! Staff were all taking shots behind the bar, and perhaps this muddied their maths skills. Food was fine, the broccoli was completely uncooked and couldn’t even get a knife through, the vegan wellington was pleasant, and some of the veg was very nice (carrots, green beans) but roasties were quite tasteless sadly. Food took forever to arrive and was SO staggered that some of our party had finished by the time the last plate came out. Again, okay but let us know if the kitchen can’t do 15 covers in good time. Add to this the complete lack of interest by staff (no checking how the food was, or if we needed anything), staff putting the Rugby on a huge TV directly above our heads and having to be asked to turn the volume down, and the general attitude of staff (catty comments, rudeness and no apology after accusing us of not paying properly) we unfortunately won’t be returning. A real shame as clearly this Pub can be great when all is well, but staff seemed confused/emotional/hungover yesterday and this really affected the experience.
Great place to chill and relax with friends in the heart of Brighton. Close to the beach, pier, and shopping areas. Drinks are reasonably cheap as well as the food. Menu was all Thai based and was fresh and tasty. We ordered starters: Spicy Calamari, Veg Gyozi, and Spring Rolls. Mains: Red Thai Curry with coconut rice, Penang Curry with coconut rice, and Pad Thai. I'm looking forward to my next return.
Sunday roast, potatoes were stale/hard. Veg was fresh and crunchy, lamb was a small portion, gravy watery, Yorkshire pud, nothing amazing, came an hour after ordering which was too long. I used to love coming here but since they stopped roasts and then brought them back in September, it's just not the same. Staff are lovely as is the venue. My score is on the food alone
