Shakespeare's Head in Brighton and Hove

Such a lovely pub. Good prices, friendly staff with a nice little bit of outside space. I was only there for one, so that's all the information I have

We went to the Shakespeare's Head for lunch and a drink. We were not disappointed! This place is as cosy as it gets, with a roaring fire and board games for anyone to play. The drinks are reasonably priced, the bar staff were friendly, and the food! Wow.They specialise in sausages and mash with gravy, and there are loads of options that you can mix and match. I had irish pork and apple, and my partner had vegan sausages; both dishes were superb.Very much looking forward to having this place as our local when we move to 7Dials this year!

I've never visited here before despite living close by but I observed from afar and thought it looked nice. I enjoyed a delicious bangers and mash washed down with a decent cider on tap. The bar staff were really friendly. Small inside but really nice vibe. Toilets were clean. They have made a decent heated outdoor area for these times.... Cool place. One of the better pubs near the dials.

Really impressed with our roast this Sunday. It’s hard to get a lovely piece of pork with proper crackling these days. Shakespeare’s Head delivered not only that but also with an energetic atmosphere and a warm fire. Left super happy.

Another of those quirky Brighton pubs I have a hard time avoiding (not that I'd want to). Great music, and quite a young crowd; it's busy to the point where finding a seat could be a problem and standing isn't really an option, although they somehow manage to avoid crowds at the bár (I was there on a Saturday). It's a warren, and you don't always know whether you're inside or out. An Alice in Wonderland theme would suit this place very well. Then there's the Green Room, which is great for party bookings, as it gives access to the bar from the other side, but you might not otherwise know it was there, unless you had stumbled into it from the street, through the rather non-distinct door that might just as well be a fire exit. If you go back out through that door you will find some of the most interesting topography an urban pub could offer

Amazing selection of sausage, mash and gravy (including veggie, vegan, g-f options) in a lovely trad boozer with a friendly quirky feel. Recommended x

In early December, the touring party that I was with were all craving bangers and mash, and somehow managed to stumble across this place via a quick Google search.I admitted that I had never actually tried bangers and mash, so I was a tad hesitant to try something new that day. However, my socks were completely knocked off when I tried their vegan Cumberland, garlic and rosemary mash with red onion gravy, with a side of kale!The only downside was that they had run out of their chocolate brownie that I had ordered for dessert.I am still giving 5 stars nonetheless, as the food was spectacular!

Lovely roast, great atmosphere and very fair price! Make sure to book in advanced though as gets very busy!!

By far my favourite pub in Brighton! Very friendly staff who are willing to go above and beyond, and there is a great atmosphere (especially when the fireplace is on for a cosy vibe at this time of year). I had the pork belly Sunday roast at the weekend which came very quickly and was absolutely magnificent - without a doubt the best roast I have ever had!

Such a lovely place to meet family and friends. Best roast ever. Definitely recommend 👌 Staff is amazing,great customer service. Well done guys and big massive Thank You xx
