The best restaurants in Hollingdean and Stanmer Brighton and Hove South East

No longer at this location. Edit: Your business should be marked as temporarily closed if you are not at the location pictured and marked on the map. I walked 15 minutes on my lunch break only to find your business no longer there!

The Sunday dinner is really good and the fruit crumble is excellent. Nice paced service as well. The drop of a star is not for the building, which is impressive, but I would prefer to be seated a little away from the main flow of people when having dinner.

They accepted my online order. Unfortunately, due to my location and it being a football night, they were unable to fulfil the order. A few days later I spoke with a very polite lady who explained the problem and apologised. She refunded the money the next day. So I haven't tried the food, but customer service is excellent!

Today I was served by Ellie who left such an impression on me I felt compelled to leave such a review. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If I could give Ellie 100 stars, I would. In the grand pantheon of baristas, she is nothing short of a celestial being, a virtuoso of the coffee realm, a Michelangelo of the espresso machine. From the moment I walked in, it was as though I had stepped into a divine masterpiece, and Ellie was the artist guiding my senses on a transcendent journey. Her coffee? A symphony of flavours that danced on my palate like a Chopin nocturne. It wasn't merely a cup of coffee—it was an experience, a liquid masterpiece poured with the precision of da Vinci sketching the Mona Lisa. The froth was a work of art, each swirl an elegant brushstroke. I marvelled at it, as one would marvel at the Sistine Chapel, knowing that this cup would forever alter the trajectory of my life. Ellie's service? Flawless. Her demeanour was warm, yet regal, as though she were a queen bestowing a moment of grace upon her humble subject. She moved with the poise of a ballerina, each gesture deliberate, yet graceful, as though choreographed by the universe itself. In short, Ellie’s offerings are nothing less than a revelation. I will never look at coffee—or life—the same way again. If you want to experience a moment of divine artistry in the mundane, look no further than Ellie at Basement Central. A true legend in the making.

This costa is always busy when I attend but the staff are incredibly attentive and the place is always clean. The staff are always super polite and make everything to a great standard. The lovely lady with the glasses and the tattoos who I always see on the weekends is fantastic and always super lovely 😁

Unfortunately a really hostile environment for students, it seems staff are inconvenienced by you coming in and spending money in their pub, which is a shame considering it’s so close to student accommodation & the uni campus. Me and my friends were stared at by a worker/owner whilst playing pool I assume to hurry up our game? & then rushed out of the pub sent away with plastic cups for our pints as we weren’t even allowed to finish them there, bearing in mind this was well before the listed closing time. I’ve never had a good experience in here & now won’t be back.

Muy decepcionado por la visita de hoy. Una gran fiesta había reservado la habitación Alicia en el País de las Maravillas para un té de la tarde. La habitación ya estaba siendo utilizada por otros clientes, la mesa no está dispuesta y no hay suficientes sillas. Habitación generalmente sin preparar y frío helado. Incluso el personal llevaba abrigos. Nos avisaron que debido a su personal falta de comunicación no podían proporcionar el té de la tarde que todos estábamos deseando también. Finalmente pedimos desde el menú principal que estaba bien. No hay instalaciones sanitarias .. tenías que ir a un baño público que estaba sobre la carretera y absolutamente sucio! El personal no estaba preparado y ningún gerente disponible para abordar nuestros problemas. No recomendaría desafortunadamente

£100 parking fine after popping in for forty minutes for a cup of tea. No warning our car details had to be supplied.
