Really liked the vibe here. The menu&#39;s got a bit of everything, which was nice for a first visit. I went for the fish and chips &ndash; the batter was super crispy and the chips were proper chunky. Solid pint to go with it.

First time trying the carvery here. The roast beef was so tender, just melted in your mouth. Really generous portions too.

The restaurant has a plush and relaxed setting with attentive staff, making it a great place to enjoy good food in a comfortable atmosphere.

The cocktails were a bit pricey, but the setting in the old opera house is incredible.

Breakfast runs until midday, which is handy. The cooked breakfast is solid. Sausages and bacon are good quality, not greasy. Pancakes are the popular choice here, fluffy and not too sweet.

Service was spot on. They were really attentive but never hovered, even though the place was packed. Everything came out at a good pace.

Suki and her team are really nice. They surprised us with a cake for my friend&#39;s birthday, which was a lovely touch. The service is consistently attentive and friendly. The food was pretty good, though the off-menu special we tried was a bit rich for my taste. A solid spot.

Staff were lovely and the whole place was spotlessly clean. The hilltop views are just breathtaking. Had a really nice, peaceful stay.

The outdoor seating area is really pleasant on a summer evening. They stay open late on weekends, which is a plus. Good selection of real ales and ciders to enjoy out there.

Service was quick and friendly, even with special requests.

Quick lunch spot. Food came fast and tasted good. Nice that they have seating upstairs too.

The chef&#39;s special noodle soup was so fresh and full of flavour. The pork was tender and the broth had a lovely depth to it.

Lovely sunny spot outside. Greek salad was crisp. Hummus and pita tasted homemade. Carafe of house wine hit the spot. Dog friendly is a plus.

The handmade pies are solid. Generous chunks of meat, good portion for the price. Menu has decent variety. Service was efficient.

The birthday banners were a lovely surprise, and the little cake they brought out was so sweet. It&#39;s those little touches that make you feel really looked after.

Perfect for a group get-together! The private upstairs room has its own projector, and the staff were super helpful sorting the setup beforehand.

The poppadoms were crisp and warm, served with three different dips. The mint chutney was particularly sharp and fresh, cut through the richness of the main curry nicely. Portions are definitely generous.

Been coming here for years and the poppadums are always spot on. Love the little pots of chutney and raita they bring out with them. The onion bhajis are a nice touch too, especially with those pomegranate seeds on top.

Staff are genuinely friendly, always smiling. Lunch menu is solid quality, especially the pasta special today. Not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. Would pop in again.

The outdoor seating area is charming, and the inside is very comfortable. Prices are reasonable for the location, right next to Hove Station.

Been a few years since my last visit. The kids&#39; menu is solid, and the staff were attentive without being overbearing. Food was consistent. A reliable spot for a family dinner.

Staff event here, did the escape room then ate downstairs. Made it easy to organise. The food portions were huge, which was a nice surprise. Team was friendly and helpful all evening.

Nice and spacious, good tunes playing. Staff were friendly. Just a comfortable spot to grab a drink and relax for a bit.

Bottomless brunch on a Saturday, and it was packed. Still, the service was really attentive &ndash; they kept the drinks topped up without us having to ask. Food was solid, too. Good spot for a busy weekend.

Breakfast was solid, but dinner felt a bit pricey. Their wine list had some nice options for the evening menu, though.

Been getting takeaway from them since day one. Love the menu - curries, kebabs, burgers, all in one spot. The lamb shank curry is my usual, so tender it just falls apart. A bit pricier than some places, but it&#39;s my go-to.

It was a relaxed, fun evening, made special by engaging staff. Even though they were understaffed, they made the best of the situation and provided excellent customer service.

Lovely spot for a birthday dinner. The Badger Brewery ale was a real treat, and the staff were just so nice. Felt very taken care of.
