Outstanding new menu on offer from the team at Med Restaurant in Brighton. Delicious food, varied menu with decent portion sizes at a very reasonable price. Sunday roasts are delicious too. Highly recommend!

Delicious, tasty and fresh food at really reasonable prices.We visited on a Tuesday evening and had vegan focaccia with olive oil and hummus (as the chef had not prepared the vegan butter, so we were better off for it!), padron peppers, plus fried aubergine in hoisin sauce with spring onions and vegan gnocchi which were good sized portions for small plates.The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly.The pub has great outside seating booths. The interior is warm, clean and spacious.They have a wide selection of ales that are labelled so, as a vegan, I can see which ones are suitable for me.We really enjoyed our impromptu evening out and are looking forward to going back.Dietary restrictions: Clearly labelled vegan options of food and ales.

Visited today after wanting to try the new menu for a while and living close in poets corner. How lucky we are to have a place like this on our doorstep! The staff are all so friendly and helpful, the atmosphere and decor is cosy and the food was DELICIOUS and so reasonably priced for the quality. 100% would recommend and will be coming back! Well done guys :)

Amazing food! I've been to Asia many times and the food compares

Nice pub, lovely decor. But utterly ridiculous prices. £7.65 for a pint of gamma Ray pale ale, not acceptable. That's more than London prices. Other beers were still £7.00. Other local pubs (Westbourne) were £5.80 a pint. I'm sorry but you have out priced yourself. Won't be coming back. What a shame because the pub is nice, the service was nice.

We came for the sea shanty night which was very fun however there was a very drunk man who started to ruin the whole evening and the staff were pretty slow to kick him out (to be fair, I would have been scared to approach him too!) It really put a downer on a fun night and I felt very bad for the guy leading the shanty's. We felt very on edge that a fight was about to kick off at any moment. Would definitely go back but think there should perhaps be security on busier nights like that!

Great place for the Irish Music session on the first Thursday of each month. Good selection of drinks and a very lively audience judging by last night!

Pretty cool neighborhood spot. Friendly staff. Food was very good! I asked if the ribs were tender, and was answered yes but they were fall off the bone delicious! My husband had the duck, a very unique way of serving it and it was also delicious. Also enjoyed live music.

Miss the Sunday roast. But the Thai lunch was delish!

Highly recommend the ancient mariner, good outside space, wheelchair friendly, decent selection of beers with a few jazzy options as well. Surrounded by a few other decent pubs this one has to be right up there.

And She Became A Butterfly

Last month I popped into this pub in between viewing houses in Poets. Drinks only, hence why no food rating. What a lovely space ?. Was served by Matt and Brendan (what fab staff ?) who went above and beyond to make us feel very welcome. Once we find our house, The Ancient Mariner will certainly be our favoured local. Can't wait to try the food - looks delish!

Lunch time food with family. Pub was quiet but pleasant service. The Thai curries were quite good. A decent portion served with rice - but a side salad is not the best fit! Maybe a few popadoms or pickle? Starter snacks were not so good. Tiny spring rolls and lack lustre dumplings. Reasonable value all round. Could be much better.

Great atmosphere, great food.PLUS live jazz!
