30 years since I was last here(long story), too many sad memories, so when my Fam suggested Sunday roast I said why not? What I missed can’t be revisited BUT I will be going again and again. Abfab food, great decor, great staff, nice vibes. Do not miss this ‘ace in the Hove’ Disappointment will be experienced if you don’t visit soonest.

We travelled down to Brighton to visit our friend Daniel and his guide 🦮 dog Quasia ( who my wife and I trained from a puppy). Daniel had booked a table. The food was absolutely superb and the staff were very good. Very well priced and a very good amount of food. I highly recommend the Garden bar.

We had a brilliant experience at The Garden Bar. Firstly it was very close to the bus stop and I was lured by the lovely lighting. The cocktail menu was extensive and we tried the Honey Margarita and Tiramisu Martini – divine! We sampled a variety of dishes including the baked Camembert, the Frickles (fried pickles – amazing), cauliflower bites and halloumi strips. The staff were attentive and friendly and obviously take pride in their roles. Absolutely loved the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The outdoor areas are well-landscaped and immaculate. There was a “Clayful Hands” Pottery Lounge painting event on at the time and it looked like a wonderful way to spend an evening. It definitely made for a memorable evening and I wish I had local pub like The Garden Bar back home in Australia.

We recently attended a wake here for a close family member. Everything was perfect. I was so impressed. Several staff waited behind the bar on arrival to serve drinks for approx 80 people. We had our own reserved area which was great. The food was amazing. Very tasty and plenty of it, very, very highly recommended for any sort of family do’. They say the sign of a good wake is if the person would have enjoyed it. It’s true to say that he would have loved it!

The most magical perfect wedding!! We had our wedding at the Garden Bar and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better day. Everyone has been raving about the food! We had the BBQ in the day with a buffet brought out later and it went down a storm. The bar staff were incredible, and with a wedding of over 120 people (who were drinking a lot!) I didn’t see a queue at the bar, the staff were all over it! Amazing experience would highly recommend for your wedding!

Thank you so much Garden Bar for making our party to celebrate four family birthdays so special.
The organisation was easy thanks to Annamari, the food was delicious and the venue worked perfectly. We had the West Wing bar and garden which gave plenty of space to sit and chat, eat and a (very busy!) dance floor. We added some of our own table decorations and balloons but the pub itself is very pretty and party-ready. And finally the bar staff (can’t name you all but Taru and Kyle) on the night were exceptional, so friendly, helpful and relaxed. Thank you all VERY much!!

Really upped their game on Sunday Roasts. Really well cooked (not overcooked veg which is usually the case when eating at a pub!) and fantastic service. Well done Garden Bar. Only a 4 for atmosphere as I don’t really like the big screens but not a showstopper for us – just a bit noisy.

We had our wedding party here in October 2023 and it was stunning. The team are so warm, helpful and frankly amazing at their jobs. The space was gorgeous with the fairylights and everything set up. The evening was completely smooth sailing and so well organised on the Garden Bar’s end. Annamari is so reassuring and has a lot of knowledge and experience that was vital for our planning. She let met with us multiple times and was so flexible to what we needed and wanted. The food at the buffet was absolutely delicious and the team were brilliant with our gluten free and vegan guests. Cannot recommend enough!

We recently had our wedding reception here. From the minute we enquired we were met with warmth and helpfulness. We were won over by the size of the garden and the friendliness of the staff. We booked and from that point the staff (in particular Annamari) were helpful, thoughtful and literally kept us in the loop of everything. They went above and beyond to make our day stress free and special. We knew from the get go that we wanted a pub reception but this venue can be so much more – if you want something more formal, I know that The Garden Bar would be accommodating and it would be perfect! Even in windy Hove we truly had the best day and were treated with such kindness and care. The food was enjoyed by all too. We would recommend this venue to anyone… (we have also been for food and drinks quite a few times over the summer and this too has been lovely).

I hosted my charity event at the garden bar on the 15th April and I have to say, it was the best decision I made. I was meant to have it on the 6th of May but then the king’s coronation was announced. Annamari and Lisa contacted me and helped me find a different date.
The communication they had with me over the months leading up to the event was more than I expected and this made me feel more positive about how the charity event would turn out.
On the day of the event, the staff on duty were so hard working and went above and beyond my expectations. Having great staff like this, really makes a difference on someone’s experience.
I had also ordered different canapé’s for the beginning of my event and once again I was more than impressed. The food throughout the day was so lovely and I heard so many others say the same thing. A lot of people had come to congratulate me on my hard work but I honestly don’t think it would have been as successful as it was if I didn’t pick the perfect venue so thank you to everyone at the garden bar. You’ve left such a great impression on me.

The team were friendly and professional throughout the evening and there were so many compliments about the food. It was a really busy night for the staff but I don’t think anyone waited too long for attention at the bar. I would definitely recommend the Garden Bar if you are considering a function.

My nephew had the kiddie roast which included a free scoop of ice-cream. We all agreed the food was delicious and excellent value for money plus both the waiting and bar staff were welcoming and accommodating so will certainly be returning soon and would highly recommend.

It’s so great to see this wonderful pub getting busier and busier and finally getting the recognition they deserve. We’ve been visiting frequently for many years and were absolutely gutted when it closed for the majority of 2020 so we’re thrilled it’s back and thriving. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and go out of their way to accommodate you and make you feel at home. The food is also fantastic – easily one of the best roasts in the brighton/hove area, they also offer a smaller roast for those with smaller appetites (or suffering a hangover) which is a major bonus. Although it’s tucked away a little between hove and portslade, it’s definitely worth the trip, especially in sunshine as they boast a massive pub garden (with booths also available). Would absolutely recommend! Thank you gbh for always making us feel welcome and providing such a great service, food and drinks!

We booked at the garden bar on saturday 5th june for a works get together. First one since december 2019. Annamari and her team had allocated us a section of the outside garden, including the sole use of 3 booths. We had ordered the buffet platters, which were delicious and the hot food, arrived just that. The staff worked so hard, and were amazingly attentive, providing table service not only to our group of 20, but to all the other customers too. We had a fantastic evening. The venue looked fab, and the measures they had put in place made us feel very covid safe. Well done and a massive thank you to annamari and all her hard working team. I would highly recommend visiting the garden bar. We are hoping to book another work do for late summer as can’t think of a better place locally to spend our evening.

Every one of our guests mentioned how joyful, informal & relaxed it was and that was largely down to annamari and her team. They were flexible and helpful around our putting up our decorations, and food choices, and just thoughtful and lovely throughout the day. The food was fantastically tasty and everyone complimented it. Annamari was helpful with suggestions in the meetings we had beforehand, and very well organised, and lucia was an absolute sweetheart, and nothing was too much trouble for her. The price really was very reasonable too for the service, food and venue. We would highly recommend choosing the garden bar for your wedding reception!”

“I’ve been coming to this bar for a long time, on sunday I decided to try the roast, which was lovely, all staff are friendly, I reserved a table as its very busy the week before, thebar staff remembered I had, how many for, and even what food I had requested which was a lovely touch. The garden is massive and a real sun trap in summer, very relaxed and perfect for a drink in the sun. Toilets are a bit grim but they seem to be currently being refurbished. All in all, nice bar, fab roasts, lovely garden, and brilliant staff. Well worth a visit.”

“a lovely old looking pub but probably isn’t as old as it appears. Good choice of draft and
Spirits. The staff are really excellent, especially our waitress grace. She was very attentive
But not annoying, happy and polite, you could tell she was smiling all the time even with her
Mask on. The covid measures are excellent, tables well spaced, cleaned regularly and the
Garden area is the biggest in hove so lots of space. I had a burger which was amazing, very
Thick patty not at all fatty. The wife had the fish and chips which was excellent and so large she
Couldn’t finish it. On the whole, you gotta eat here, or even if you just pop in for a drink it’s
Well worth it (20% off food at the time of my visit).”

Pleasant, friendly, and attentive. Could not recommend this bar enough!”

And cauliflower cheese. I must say it was all fabulous, parsnips were perfect, carrots,
Broccoli cabbage, potatoes were yum, lots of sliced beef, nice hearty dinner highly
