My wife and I had our wedding at our local - The Thomas Kemp. We kept it small to around 40 people. The buffet was gone super quickly - it was so good - and the bar staff were unbelievably friendly and welcoming to us all night. It was just our local before, now it's a place we'll always remember f

Seen great reviews about the Sunday Roast so had to check it out!
• Beef and Turkey roast
• Squash, cauliflower and almond filo
Roasts were delicious with the exception of the Yorkshire pudding.
Dessert
• sticky toffee pudding solid 10/10, not a fan of the hazelnut ice cre
Great atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff and great food!
The atmosphere in the kemp was warm and inviting. The staff were fantastic and very kindly allowed me change the potatoes to chips for my meal. The fish and chips was the best I've ever eaten out in a pub. The fish was delicately cooked,
Great pub, very spacious and nice atmosphere. Really good service and friendly staff. My only gripe was only one beer (ale) on handpump, but other keg beers so that's okay. Food was very good and would recommend.
This is a must visit if you’re in Brighton! The food is absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend the small plates in the photos below but everything we’ve ordered from the menu has always been incredible - crispy potatoes, asparagus with whipped feta and chilli oil and manouri cheese with babaga
Lovely pub with friendly staff.
Was there for a friends post wedding party. The catering was tasty with a wide variety of beers on tap too.
Nice covered outdoor space as well.
Amazing place to stumble upon, though they had a small(ish) menu, there’s definitely something to suite everybody’s tastes. I had fish and chips (it would have been rude not to!) and hats off to the chef for making such a beautiful dish and presenting it so nicely… just writing this review is making
Been here a few times over the years and always a good night! Great food and beer! Went for a wedding reception last week and it was such a lovely setting! Great outside space and a lovely atmosphere!
Come here often for a drink and a few snacky bits. Really enjoy the croquettes.
Service can be a bit up and down. Always better on their busier days (more staff on) but always friendly
Great lunchtime menu, choices of veg, vegan and meat starters and mains. Very relaxed friendly atmosphere. Well worth a visit if your in the area
Ths garlic greens are mouthwatering
Great bar in Kemptown. Didn’t eat here, but menu looks really good. Good choice of beers and good service.
Nice enough pub but was pretty cold and the front space seemed weirdly underutilised. We visited to watch the rugby but there was only a very small screen and not enough seats (despite there being a lot of space).
Great Sunday roast. Not as good as previous visits. But still very good, parsnips weren't properly cooked. But overall very good.
Still no English mustard available 🤔. Must for us on a roast lunch.
Food was great for our party of 8. Sadly one was overcharged by £20. It was sorted but took quite a while.
Spoilt the overall event
Just what we needed after a long hot day of toil! Good food and cheerful, efficient staff. We've just bought a flat nearby so we're really pleased to discover The Thomas Kemp :)
Been to the Kemp a few times, dog friendly, food good and atmosphere ideal for weddings, birthday parties, Sunday roasts etc. Staff are always friendly and polite even when they are extremely busy. 5 Stars all the way :)
Utterly delicious Sunday roast. Lovely atmosphere. Good presentation of your dish with Yorkshire pudding, gravy and herbs. And many little sauces to choose from recommended.
An excellent Laine pub with a marvellous covered and heated area outside. Also notably wonderful, friendly and helpful service from the bar person. Great stuff.
Sunday roast was tasty, served quickly, staff were very friendly and let us use reserved tables until the time that they were reserved. They also serve Strongbow Cloudy Cider!
