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.

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!Vegetarian options: Mushroom pate was delicious, as were the vegetarian nachos.Kid-friendliness: Let us stay past 8 pm with the kids! Hurrah!

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 ❤️

The service and the atmosphere were great, however I was slightly disappointed with the Sunday Roast. I’d heard so many good things but unfortunately didn’t have a good experience. The potatoes were so crisp they were hard to eat, and there was a lot of fat on the roast beef - pretty much more than half of the meat I was unable to eat. I didn’t have a good experience. Would go back for drinks but not for food unfortunately.

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.

Roast dinner is a winner! Doggies welcome too! Go and enjoy well done staff, u make a huge contribution to the business, happy, friendly, informative, excellent evening thankyou. Philippa
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.Parking: Zone N

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.
