It's a great place to be. I loved the food and the wide range of beer. People we're very friendly.
I will come again.
Lovely place with lots of atmosphere. Good food and friendly service. Dogs welcome.
The best roast I've had out in ages! The cauliflower cheese was to die for. Staff were lovely and informed us of the wait on food as a big table had just arrived. Gave us some nuts to keep us going, the wait wasn't that bad anyway. Will definitely go again. Thanks guys. Dog friendly with loads of lovely pups there ❤️
Lovely local pub, the ambience is perfect for those looking to eat or just have a drink.
Food was spot on, and the chefs special of clam and mussel pappardelle was delicious.
The team are always very welcoming.
Definitely would recommend!
I had the pleasure of visiting the Better Half in Hove on Saturday night. Traveling from Melton Mowbray to spend time with my daughter and her boyfriend, we enjoyed a delightful evening of food, drink, and conversation at this upmarket pub. The Harvey's Bitter was a truly wonderful pint, and the fish of the day, a Bream, was simply beautiful. I even took a moment to extend my compliments to the kitchen for their perfect preparation. With extremely reasonable prices for the high-quality offerings, I look forward to revisiting this fine establishment when I'm back in the area, hopefully in a few months' time.
Apologies for the photo which I appreciate is as relevant as a penguin in the desert.
The place was busy but not crowded. Great atmosphere and the staff were excellent. The food was amazing.
Highly recommend

It was our first visit yesterday and was on a busy Saturday night. We were able to book on the day, and we called, but there is also a booking system online. The staff were very pleasant, friendly and looked after us really well. Our table for six people and one dog was next to another with about twenty people, so it was incredibly noisy and very lively, but everyone was jovial and smiley. The staff realised it was far too noisy for us and helped move us to another table, which was much appreciated by all of us. The food was excellent, we tried a couple of the starters to pick between us all - if you like pork belly, you must try the pork belly bites - we had a couple of the pork bites and some delicious olives. Everyone enjoyed their main courses. There's a good selection of gins and tonics, which we all had as well as beer/ larger on tap and a good selection of soft drinks. Our Labrador came and was very welcome by the staff. There were another two or three dogs in the pub. Parking is all street parking, zone N in Hove, and paid for between 9-8 daily. Just use the main PayByPhone app. We booked our table for 8pm and I found a free spot just a road away. Overall, it was a great little pub with very decent food and excellent team. It's close to where our daughter lives so we will be visiting again soon. Recommended.
Really enjoyed this place, hid from the rain and had a late lunch. Only sadness is that the fish and chips comes with normal peas and not mushy peas :(
Lovely ambiance and food was nice, the staff were also lovely and very helpful.
They are dog friendly and are obeying all COVID restrictions.
The only downsides were that the pasta and burger dishes could do with a little more salt and the portions were a bit on the big side. Otherwise a lovely pub and would recommend!
Today surpassed themselves, always fabulous- arancini the best I have ‘ever’ tasted..nutty perfect texture rice with bite..crisp outer shell ..salad of leaves and shoots dressed with sea salt and citrus dressing so expert such care …I 😍 loved it! On a Tuesday lunch after work it’s overwhelming!! Wellington beautiful balanced possibly better still with a cream Madeira mushroom duxelles (?)..veg gorgeous nutty tender stem beautiful crisp soft inside fluffy spuds …tasty crumble , custard and a side of extra pouring cream..yum!
Best food we had in the UK so far. We loved the food and the friendly staff!
Absolutely loved the place, I took my Sister for a Sunday roast when she was visiting me and this pub delivered in every way 😊 the place itself is really cozy, the staff is friendly and amazing, and the food was so delicious I cannot even describe 😊 special thanks to István in the kitchen, was really nice catching up with him 😊
Now my favourite pub in Brighton and Hove. Really lovely staff, food was gorgeous (mushroom pate with focaccia, nachos, charcuterie board, milk chicken burgers) and they didn't mind the kids!
A roast and a half. For meat eaters or veggies.
Lovely atmosphere, cosy and friendly. Good wine list, too.
I was recommended this place by a chef and I can see why. 👌🏻
We went there for sunday roast - vegan/vegetarian options as well as the meat options were really good. Can definitely recommend if you are visiting Brighton.
Nice vibe. Just come here for a couple of drinks. Staff were excellent.
A real gem of a place. Stumbled on this pub after a long journey to Brighton and we needed to decompress and eat. It was a Friday afternoon and to our delight, there was live jazz to accompany our meal.
The beer battered fish and chips were perfect - flaky fish, crisp batter, nice and fresh and presented well. The fish of the day - bream - was beautifully cooked and a really big portion, too. We ended up staying much longer than we intended and enjoyed every minute of it. Food and wine prices were fairly standard for "nicer" Brighton eateries.
Had a good chat with the owner, Simon, and was pleased to hear this is truly a family run, independent business. They should be proud of what they've created. It felt more like a local than a touristy spot but was beautifully decorated throughout and had a very genuine feel to it, which can't be bought, only cultivated.
Would definitely return.
Truly excellent Sunday roast. Lovely and cosy on a cold wet December afternoon and we all loved the food - tasty well cooked and lots of different veg.
