We booked a Sunday lunch and most of the adults had the roasted belly of pork with sea salt crackling which they really enjoyed. The 2 vegetarian options offered were the usual nut roast or the vegetable wellington which is what I had. Sadly it was pretty tasteless and covered with gravy which made the pastry soggy and the whole thing was pretty wet with no texture, the best thing on my plate was the Yorkshire pudding. There was no hint of truffle flavour or scent in the truffle cauliflower cheese which was disappointing at £5 for a small portion. The people in the group that had the banana sticky toffee pudding really enjoyed it and we all found the staff were very good and attentive. However the condition and cleanliness of the ladies toilet was very poor with a toilet that didn’t flush and a lock on the cubicle door that didn’t work.

As usual, the bar prices are typical Brighton; expensive! However, the staff are friendly. service is top class and the food is superb! I highly recommend the Korean wings. There's a huge screen TV and we were able to watch the RWC. Lots of rugby fans so never any hassle. I'll be going again next time I'm down

Salat: high price, low quality: You get mixed salad leaves but almost none of the components mentioned in the menu (eg radish, beetroot, tomatos) and if You ask about them, You’ll get a tiny part.

I went to the Stoneham this weekend. I was impressed with how well they were following the Covid secure protocol . It was very clean and well spaced out . The food was delicious. My mother and I had Fish and Chips . They were delicious with lovely big potatoes wedges . We also ordered some calamari which was amazing . My son had a nice pizza too . I will definitely be returning soon . It is convenient to go as a family as you can let the kids play in the nearby park before hand . There is also parking nearby although you have to pay around there it isn’t too pricey .

Quick phone call following a disaster at The Garden Bar Booking. Found us a table for 10 at very short notice and provided a great service all night (in particular the guy serving on 22.12.22). Food served as described, good atmosphere, saved the day. Thank you so much and Merry Christmas.

I have been working my way around top rated sunday roasts in Brighton and Hove and have been often disappointed. Tried the Stoneham as it's local and was not disappointed! It was better than the ones on the recommended list. Chicken full of beautiful flavour, lots of gravy, all veg cooked perfectly and Yorkshire putting not so get done (which they often are) or undercooked just perfect! We sat out the back in lovely little outdoor garden with lots of pretty flowers. Staff also friendly and efficient even though they were super busy. Will definitely be back!

Went in early on a Saturday eve with my 2yo daughter, it's sort of cavernous with the Atmos of an underground car park. It wasn't too busy but there was nowhere to sit A Guinness and a glass of wine was £16. They served us (admittedly might not have seen my daughter) and then came over to ask us to leave due to their license restrictions. We were allowed to finish our drinks. Sorry to be negative.

Called in for a couple of pints. Excellent Harvey's bitter. Sat outside in the sun, facing South. Beer price on the high side, 2 beers £11.

Went to an event in the function room. The venue was lovely and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The buffet was way, way better than I'd expected. Highly recommended

Yet again we chose to visit on Sunday. Great value, very tasty food, happy staff and the pub was very clean. My only bug bear was the enormous service charge. We only had our food delivered, no check back and no opportunity to get another drink, we were in the garden but I still believe a check back and a huge opportunity to sell more was missed. I will return but not sure when.

Moody bar person, gave us snide remarks about leaving our empty glasses on table as we had to rush out for the bus… not that it’s our job to clear tables of course. No wonder the place was empty while place over the road was packed.

Great venue, great food and drink and a great all round pub! Came to the pub on a handful of occasions but enjoyed it every time, from birthday celebrations to euro semi final showings, the staff are all so friendly and after trying the food for the first time, it just topped it all off. Great little garden in the back and it just looks a feels so welcoming, definitely my choice of pub whenever I head that way in hove and it’s definitely a favourite of mine! Can’t recommend enough!
