Where to Go for a Roast in Brighton & Hove

Shakespeare’s Head- 1 Chatham Pl, Brighton BN1 3TP

  • A proper student-friendly pub, alsoknown as the bangers ‘n’ mash pub so you know the kitchen’s good!

  • The roast dinners are well reviewed (4.3/5 on Tripadvisor)  cosy, friendly vibe, good drinks list. Tripadvisor

  • Worth booking ahead (it gets busy) and maybe pre-order, especially if you’ve got a group, because stuff sells out quickly. Website here: Shakespeare’s Head

  • Sunday roasts served 12–6 pm, often with meat and veggie/vegan options (pork, chicken, beef or tofu pie / lentil & oat haggis).

  • Good if you want a bit of flexibility (someone veggie? someone meat-loving?), and still want a proper roast-dinner vibe

  • Small kitchen + limited booking slots (max 8 people on Sundays), so booking is wise. The Farm Tavern

Embers- 42 Meeting House Ln, Brighton BN1 1HB

Mum and dad coming up before xmas so you fancy something a bit fancier?

  • According to recent guides, Embers is among the top Sunday-roast spots in Brighton & Hove.

  • Their roast menus come with a variety of meats and well-prepped sides (potatoes, cauliflower purée or cheese, carrots, etc.) solid comfort-food done with care.

  • If you want something a bit more than a standard pub roast but don’t want to spend loads, Embers is a nice balance.

The Coal Shed-Clarence House 30-31 North St, Brighton BN1 1EB

  • If you’re up for something a little fancier — The Coal Shed does charcoal-/open-fire roasted meats and have been doing top-quality Sunday roasts for over a decade.

  • Their roasts come with all the trimmings: roast potatoes, heritage carrots, cauliflower cheese, Yorkshire puddings, gravy- the works.

  • Slightly more pricey than some pubs, but worth it if you want something a bit special (maybe for a treat or a group meal). The Coal Shed
