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

The Farm Tavern-13 Farm Rd, Hove BN3 1FB

• 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

• 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
