Food scene

If you love wonderful Greek pies this is the place for you. The owners are young Greeks and you are eating the real thing! Just like being in a back street in Athens, Thessalonikii or your favourite greek Island. Always full of Greeks who live in Brighton and the coffee is very good. The premises are simple but the pies are great and good value. It goes without saying the welcome is always warm!

Our closest pub and one that I’ve become very fond of due to spending a lot of time there with a cup of tea and a laptop. It’s a bit on the pricier side, but the service is really lovely and there’s lots of cosy nooks and crannies to hide away in!

This pub was recommended to us by our moving man, and oh boy do I love it! It has all the ingredients that make a great pub – gorgeous (slightly worn, but in a good way) wooden tables, mismatched chairs and a big beer garden.
