We had a couple drinks in the very lovey pub. It is the kind of place that we love. Full of character and history. The bar staff were very friendly. The location is excellent, just a few minutes walk from the beach and a couple minutes from the Lanes. We'll definitely return.
Popped in last night for some food and drink as their food is good ..... If they are serving it ! I was first to arrive as I was meeting a mate there at 8pm. However, arrived at 7.55pm to find the kitchen had just closed as "it's quiet tonight". The lady behind the counter was apologetic and offered a refund on my drink I just bought. My only advice is check if food will be on offer when you plan to go. Disappointed, we moved on elsewhere ..... Leaving the pub even quieter !
This pub is off the beaten track and an absolute haven if you are looking to enjoy some good ale and hearty food. The staff are incredibly conscientious of their customers, my friend and I were well taken care of by the bar staff, cooks and chef who made us two casual pub goers feel like very comfortable and welcome guests. I cannot recommend The Foundry enough. As a well travelled pub goer, it takes the trophy as my personal favourite pub in Brighton by a long shot.
Great pub with lovely staff and toads!!! However we found the house music on a Friday at 8pm to be very jarring - it didn’t fit the vibe and would be better placed at an illegal forest rave at 2am
We went for a family Sunday dinner for a special birthday, the building is lovely. It's a like a classic pub on the ground floor, a high-end restaurant upstairs and there is also a lovely roof terrace not a balcony but the ceiling is open so it feels like an open-air space with lots of plants and relaxed tables and benches. The food was really good - most of our party got the roasts, which were big portions and came with great roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings. I got a veggie meal, which was a smaller portion than I was expecting was supposed to come with puffed lentils, which I thought would be a big portion of the plate but there was only a handful of lentils scattered about but luckily not everyone could eat their potatoes so I had a couple of those too. Food was very slow to arrive, we didn't mind at all as were in no rush but this might annoy some people! We all wandered off to different sections and some of us sat drinking upstairs while we waited.
Came to dine here today, friendly staff, short wait for food and caters for allergy requirements. Food was mediocre but very one dish fits all, even to the point that every dish comes covered in gravy rather then a separate gravy boat as a one wood expect. Not enough root vegetables and cabbage that had been spirallised and not very hearty. Salt and pepper were pre ground and cake in a standard shaker rather then a grinder which was disappointing. Venue was clean and presentable but not much character. It was an ok meal, nothing more nothing less. I wouldn’t be in a hurry to return as no attention to fine details. What annoyed me from the word go, they didn’t accept American Express.
Cost but still energetic vibe on a Saturday evening, friendly staff, dj played good tunes that were not intrusive so could still chat with pal. Beer selection pretty poor. Nice lighting.
Grate staff , nice pub . And from experience has a great open mic night
Roast dinner and big hug brewing beer delivered by Uber Eats and it was delicious. Especially the ham hock croquettes! Pork three ways. Superb vegetables, Yorkshire and gravy. Presented really nicely
Quirky little pub, nice beers on tap and very welcoming. Will visit again
