Let me start with the fact that the service was great and the cauliflower bites were delicious! However, I made an enquiry through the website about a specific American football game for my husband. They accepted the booking without any response to my question as to whether they would stay open for the full game or not...so I assumed they would. We arrived around 7:30 and put in a food order a little after 8. The kitchen, unfortunately, was unable to make anything other than my cauliflower bites (delicious) and sticky toffee pudding (rather dry)...so no mac n'cheese like my husband ordered. We were offered a refund, but still a little disappointing. Next, my husband's game was NOT available (even though it was listed on their actual website as being shown this evening) and the pub was set to close at 10 (the very nice bartender offered to stay open a bit longer, if we wanted, but as the only people there we felt a bit guilty so decided not to take him up on his offer). We simply ask that you stop advertising games that you're not actually able to show/won't be open for the full game and you actually ensure that any enquiries that come through your booking platform get answered. I have used Collins and know you're alerted of all new enquiries AND if they haven't been answered within...

Though they have changed location several times, ultimately their commitment to high quality, authentic and wholesome Mexican cuisine has not changed.
Otomi Tacos offers the staples of Mexican fayre you will be familiar with, featuring burritos, nachos and of course - the titular variety of tacos. Whilst perhaps not presenting the widest array of dishes, Otomi Tacos delivers with exceptional attention to freshness, ingredients and sheer care with the assembly of the food.
In my instance, I decided upon the 'Beef Colorada' tacos, which came as a beautiful trio laden with flavoursome beef, refreshing Pico de Gallo and lettuce and a mild salsa. The chef was more than willing to provide me with some extra heat when requested, providing me with a satisfyingly spicy habanero hot sauce to complete the experience.
Otomi Tacos is a very welcome addition to the already flourishing Mexican food scene in Brighton, and their unique positioning, clean flavours and emphasis on authenticity places them among some of the best Brighton and Hove...
Read moreI enjoyed my brief stay, mainly I would say being down to it being a weekday afternoon with no sports on. Also, I was given a lime and soda for free, can't complain about that.
Make no mistake, this is a sports bar. There is an individual TV at almost every table and three huge see ones above the bar!
Being newly renovated the whole place is clean and well maintained, including the toilets.
There is an 'accessible' toilet but it's up a couple of steps. Perhaps they have a ramp? The doorways are narrow so I don't think it would be easy to have a wheelchair in here.
Only one main vegan option (and it's falafel too, how original) and one dessert (apple crumble). Need to try harder in Brighton!
Edited to add: All the chairs are very high stools. If you're not tall this could...
