The Southover - Brighton and Hove

I really enjoyed the local beer with a citrus flavor, it was fantastic. The dinner menu had a Middle Eastern theme, featuring lamb kofta and chicken shawarma. The portion sizes were just right and the food was delicious. The pub has a great atmosphere and the staff are friendly.

The roast dishes are massive and tasty, and we enjoyed live keyboard and singing entertainment. Although the service was a bit slow, the staff was apologetic and it was worth the wait. There were many families dining at the restaurant.

I visited this restaurant just before Christmas and tried the pie deal. Both my dining companions and I enjoyed our pies, they were excellent. The chef even brought them to our table, which was a nice touch. The restaurant is dog-friendly, which is always a plus for me. The cozy atmosphere of the pub made for a pleasant experience. I will definitely be visiting again.

I was in here the other night where I witnessed the already known rude manager being unecessarily aggressive to a small group of young adults, it became quite a fuss and disturbed the whole place, it then became clear that one of the males in the group who was mixed race was being discriminated against. Never have I ever witnessed such judgemental stereotyping in Brighton before and will not be returning here again god knows what would happen if I went for a meal with my husband who happens to be mixed race too. I shall be taking my friends and money elsewhere, to a more accepting and welcoming non racist place. I will certainly not be recommending this place until the staff mangement has been sorted out, this is not the first time an incident with this manager has happened, embarrassing and shameful really as it could be great.

I’m in this lovely pub on a Monday evening for dinner with my daughter. We have been treated to chicken pies, in home made shortcrust pastry, with root vegetable crisps atop. Variety of different mash and a side of perfectly cooked fresh veg. Delicious and highly recommended. Nice staff, good atmosphere. Will definitely be back.
