The Prestonville Arms — Restaurant in England

Lovely atmosphere, buzzy without being too busy, friendly owners, nice fire and the food, Sri Lankan night, was absolutely delish. But the music was AWFUL. I love a show tune as much as the next person but there was some terrible musicals CD on a loop, Evita, Greatest showman etc. It was like the music at a 6 year olds birthday party. Please just play some normal-ish music with the odd Lala song thrown in. We left after the 3rd loop, couldn’t listen to it anymore. Other than that a great pub and the new owners appear to be finding their feet despite accusing the locals of being homophobic in a local magazine article - ironic given how many of the locals are gay, have gay kids and the previous licensee was also gay. Plus - we’re all ‘down from London’ in this area. Not one born and bred Brightonian as far as i’m Aware! Would have got an excellent if it wasn’t...

This pub is a true gem of Brighton. Without a shadow of a doubt; near perfect.

A modern approach to the classic British pub with a sleek bar and cosy seating. The bar offers a modest yet well selected choice of Brown Ale (a favourite of mine).

We shared our first night there on Burns Night, where the food was beyond anything I could have imagined. The portions were wonderful, the presentation on top and the flavours so true yet sprinkled with love and care.

The staff are so incredibly welcoming and made our experience memorable. A great mix of attention, professionalism, and banter. What more do you need?

Ultimately, I could go on forever. But I highly recommend The Prestonville Arms as...

If only more local pubs were as good as the Prestonville - at doing what a good local pub should do. If you ignore the award winning and regularly outstanding eats their GF kitchen turns up (it's always a treat and a delight to go eat there and their food is so very well priced for the quality) The landlord Dan and his team make every one welcome and always ensures that you're looked after. Happy to help and often go out of their way to be fine publicans and hosts. A fine hostelry - and I'm jolly glad its a short walk home after a couple of decent pints an a plate of something noteworthy...
