Sunday afternoon and doing a good trade with a mix of clientele. Beer battered cod and chips was selling very well this afternoon, I listened to some Americans who were amazed about the generous size of the food portions.

A Saturday afternoon visit, I had not eaten so I took advantage of the food offer as the nearby chippy was closed. The cod and chips in the pub was excellent. Fullers have spent a lot of money doing this place up to a very high standard but I could have done without the picture of two male police officers kissing.

Evening. Proposed last stop as just about the nearest to the station. Total darkness so I turned to the platforms. ChrisE's visit report today gives the answer as to why.

Website.

The pub is found in Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 3PA.

The nearest pub to Brighton railway station except, of course, when or if there is a bar or pub on the station concourse itself. Large corner pub with very modern decor. Used to accommodate the Nightingale Theatre upstairs but that is now a function / conference room. Refurbished expensively by Fuller's after acquiring it. 4 handpumps.

We have visited this pub 8 times, seen 11 different beers and tried 5 of them.
