We went for food on a Tuesday evening and the bar staff were absolutely lovely. I won’t be returning for food though. TheGreedyBoyKitchen. I ordered a ‘small plate’ of ribs for £11:50 but I didn’t realise how small the plate would be. I received a 5cm squared lump of meat which was 50% fat. My friend ordered a medium rare steak which arrived well done and was chewy. I let the staff know that I wasn’t happy with what I had received but my friend didn’t want to mention her overcooked steak. There was no effort made to rectify the problem so we will just avoid in the future, we can get a better meal elsewhere so will. ***I am adding to this review to add that whilst the ribs I ordered was a ‘Small Plate’. I did order ribs and would expect some rib bones with meat on, not a little square of fat with a few scraps of meat in it. Usually ribs aren’t that fatty so I’m not sure what it was I received. Although my friend didn’t want to complain about her tough, over-cooked steak, the kitchen staff were made aware that I was not happy with the food at the time of serving and nothing was done to rectify this.

Went here for the first time on Sunday. It was a birthday treat organised by my niece (not my birthday BTW!) Great service (table service), staff masked and tables cleaned between customers. Good choice of Sunday roast menu including veggie options. My mum was able to order a child's portion (at half the cost!) which was just right for her. The food was delicious and all four plates were cleared. The missing Yorkie was supplied almost immediately much to my brother's relief! The only negative comment I have, and this is about personal preference, is that the food wasn't hot enough. I like my food piping hot, straight from the oven hot. I appreciate this isn't possible when your kitchen is elsewhere in the building and you are dealing with lots of orders. Which is why we didn't say anything at the time.

I have been here many times. The food is REALLY good! Sunday lunches are some of the best I've had in Brighton and the food during the week is delicious too. I was lucky enough to catch the sticky ribs when it came on the specials board, and they were THE BEST ribs EVER! Meat falling off the bone and a Man vs Food sized stack of them too. Plus, if their chips aren't the best you've ever had, then my name's Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo! But what sets the setting sun apart is the staff are all so lovely and friendly. They were even happy to create a dessert that was not on the menu at my friend's request using a spare Yorkshire pudding. See Pic. It's a great pub with nice locals and a chilled atmosphere. 100% recommendation.

A deceptively small pub, with a very small bar area, yet with sufficient seating to not feel like you are on top of the next table.

Beer is at the more expensive end of the scale, £4+ for anything on tap and wine more so.

Visiting on a Sunday revealed one of the least impressive Roast menus we've seen in quite some time. And the lack of food visible on tables may speak of their quality, but as we didn't eat, this is purely speculative and not a fact.

However, if you are at this end of Hanover, there is one cast iron reason to visit... The beer garden. Whether in the conservatory or outside, you get a unique view of Brighton and on a Sunny afternoon, continuous sunshine.

There are better pubs in Hanover, but also far worse....
