The Southern Belle brighton

Yesterday I got barred from this pub for asking the waitress/landlady if it was possible if she could back up a little bit as she was crouched down next to me and shouting in my ear while taking orders. I also said to her that she should really tell each person before passing a plate to them that its hot as she burnt my girlfriends hand pretty badly. No swearing and no raised voice. Don't get me wrong food was good but if you want bad service from a landlady who can't accept feedback you have found your pub.

I was here for a drink with a friend. The staff are very friendly and make you feel at home. The rooms look nice but I am yet to stay there.

Attended a private function there today and the food was good, the atmosphere great and the staff friendly and helpful.

Really clean and comfy. Very dog friendly. Great location and lots of nearby parking. Would highly recommend and we’ll be back!

Great pub with a good selection of ales and even a non-alcohol gin. Also a wonderful little theatre at the back. We'll worth a visit!

Lovely stay, really lovely bar. Breakfast was excellent, freshly cooked to perfection. Bed super comfy. 5* for cleanliness. Ideal location for sea front and town centre. Would definitely stay again. Thank you to all staff for a fabulous short break.

Top marks for cleanliness and decor, it seemed as if the room and bathroom had been newly refurbished, unlike the overused, dated vibe you get in chain hotels. Good attention to detail with everything you need in the room. The breakfast was also delicious. This was not a problem for us as we got back late anyway, but it was noisy until 1am, as there was a party downstairs in the pub.

Brighton, darlings? You don't want to be down by the pier among the weekend carnage and the inescapable smell of old grease from a hundred burger bars and donut stalls. No, you want to be in Brunswick, just a short walk westwards, where you'll find classy bars, niche shops, and more locals, less stag parties. Bloody lovely little pub, with good decor, cosy friendly atmosphere, brilliant staff, great food, and lush rooms. Nice touches included decent bathroom toiletries, a double shower, oat milk and coffee pods in the room, Fair-trade tea (and biscuits), bottle of water by the bed, 3 large towels for 2 of us. The bar guy brought us 2 rounds of mulled wine up 2 flights of stairs to our room.

From start to finish we had the most amazing stay Room3 The troublesome Trio as the manger James referred to us … Room spotless clean and very spacious bathroom excellent We had some lunch when we arrived and cocktails which was delicious.. the weather Saturday was atrocious but we had everything we need in one place they had entertainment layer on. Soul night which was so good And as for the manager James he made our night so lovely funny and attentive can’t fault it one bit will definitely be going back with out a doubt … Thank you James xx

We had a really lovely short stay at The Southern Belle last week. We stayed in room 4 which was to the side of the pub/hotel and had a decent sized bedroom which appeared to be newly decorated (very nice) with a gorgeous new bathroom! Very good quality toiletries on offer, coffee maker, kettle, different teas and coffee, milk and even oatmilk! Bedroom was very warm, bed very comfy! Had a lovely cooked breakfast. Nice pub and food. Cocktail bar also available and happy hour on offer which we took advantage of 😉. Staff very nice and helpful. Great all round 😁. Fab location for proximity to Brighton beach (quarter min if that!), Hove and about 10 min walk to central Brighton, maybe 15mins to the lanes/Brighton train station. Loved staying here and am sure we'll be back!
