A Brighton institution known for its intimate atmosphere, quirky outdoor terrace and fabulous ever-changing menus that are as incredibly tasty as they are creatively written. Often hand delivered by the chef, you know this is food he is proud of.

Solid pine tables, walls adorned with retro magazine covers, urban art and beer mats and lampshades your granny would be proud of, the Hop Poles manages to perfectly blend the traditional with the kooky and get it spot on.

Only a few hops from the beach or the city centre, this unique little pub with a big personality also boasts a new soundsystem.

Laid back lunch hours by day or upbeat destination venue by night. Or both!
