The Great Eastern is by far the best pub in Brighton. It's a lovely, little proper pub just down the hill from the train station. A good range of real ales and cider, including Old Rosie, Harvey's Sussex Best Bitter, Summer Lightening and Plucking Pheasant. Plus they have an awesome range of bourbons, which has made them quite famous. Cannot fault the food at all - less on offer than your usual pub, but what they serve isn't the usual, pre-frozen fried food that pubs normally serve these days. The Sunday lunch is generous and you have a choice of what meat you want for the main, and the chef makes his own red onion chutney which is really tasty. The music is eclectic and the bar staff are happy and friendly and clearly enjoy working there - and the manager clearly knows what he's doing and is well-liked by the punters. What else can I say, I can't fault it. It's everything you would want in a local. Unfortunately, living in London means I only get to go when I'm there on holiday. read more
