The Gladstone

Our annual visit for dinner. We chose around 6 dishes, and all were excellent, especially the Thai-derived items, including a soup with seafood and Thai noodles.The total bill for two was around £47.00 which we thought was very reasonable. Service was very good and pretty quick. No complaints at all. Will certainly return.

Drinks are approximately £1 more expensive than all other pubs in the area. Which is extra offensive as none of the outside heating works and one of the managers is consistently miserable. He should not work front of house.

Went for Sunday lunch, loved the building, very similar in style to The Lion & Lobster, but on a grander scale. We were there from 12, only a couple of other tables dining at that time. Service started off well enough, then disappeared completely after we had ordered. After 30 minutes our main courses arrived, we never saw the starter we ordered so decided to dispense with it as our mains were clearly ready. 2 had the burger, pretty underwhelming, and 1 was so black on one side that it was like crunching on charcoal. 2 had roast sirloin, the sirloin was very nicely cooked, potatoes tasty but not at all crispy, the giant yorkshire pudding was lovely we know has we had an extra one on the side The one with the roast was filled with all the vegetables, including a mountain of grey red cabbage, absolutely ruining what would have otherwise been a lovely yorkie. What is wrong with serving vegetables on the plate, and the yorkshire on top I have no idea. If you have a roast, order it as gluten free which won't come with a yorkshire pud but ask to have the yorkshire on the side, then you roast will be served in the usual manner and the yorkshire won't be ruined. Desserts were 2 tart tatins, one had to ask for a knife to get through the pastry! Mushy apple on top, nothing really resembling a tart tatin, and served with 'dairy free' ice-cream? both opted to have it with sorbet instead. No excuses for poorly executed food and service, it was early and really quiet. Love the building though so will just stick to drinks in future.

Attended a party here, great venue, lovely staff and a good band. Ample outdoor space, love to return in the warmer weather to enjoy it more.

Always a good time at the Gladstone, great prices and student friendly, always nice to chat to the staff and the locals. A safe atmosphere for women and right by bus stops to campus and town.

A great venue for live bands of all genres of music, food is ok but I get the feeling that that's not what it wants to be known for, because it's in the center of Brighton you will have to hunt for free parking, large present rear outdoor seating area, that can get packed when bands are playing, there is also seating outside at the front.

Beautiful beer garden, little bit pricey but that's Brighton for you these days! Student deals are very good £4.50 for amstel or £3.50 for a bottle of sol. The food situation was a bit confusing, there weren't any menus around but there's a fb page about food at the Gladstone... Who knows

Went there on a Saturday night out, it has decent pricing as well as live music and a fun atmosphere, the size allows for a large number of people both inside and outside and had a solid selection of beers

Been coming for years to the Famous Gladstone!!!! amazing beer garden and yummy food!!!! GOOD VIBES!

Amazing Sunday Roast ! Everything was fresh and the meat and chicken cooked to tender.
