B. E.

What a fantastic pub. Staying locally for a few days and decided to pop in for a couple of pints…..super friendly landlady and locals. Great selection of beers available. Lovely and clean, definitely worth a visit. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

c. t.

Very nice pub. Very light. Plenty of seats.pool and darts room with electronic scoring. Outside area and plenty of screens. Beautifully clean and tidy. Close to the station.

P. M. (.

Would highly recommend visiting this lovely pub. Gabby and Paul have only been running the pub for a few months but have clearly settled in very well. They were so approachable and were chatting to us and other customers throughout the day. Sky sports on all day, pool table and great atmosphere. Will defo come back and visit again soon xxx

s. j.

Gabby, Paul and dargah have been a great host, they have made us feel welcome. We are a group of students in brighton looking for a pub to chill and have fun in. They have a pool table and a dart board so there's plenty to keep us entertained. They also have karaoke and quizzes which we can't wait to be part of.

M. K.

Friendly neighbourhood pub. Good big screen, sports watching venue. Reasonably priced drinks. Nice outside area.

R. B.

Awesome pub with a th a fantastic friendly atmosphere. We'll worth a visit.

b. m.

A fantastic place to watch sport, or just to enjoy a drink. The staff were very attentive and went out of their way to make us feel welcome (and COVID safe ). With several big screens, including an outside one , it was a real find for us. Thoroughly recommend The Welly !

A. K.

I visited the duke of Wellington this weekend and it is great! The decor is chic and inviting, pool table and darts, live sports and a great courtyard makes it a great atmosphere to go for a drink with a few mates and have a good night. The new owners, Paul and Gabby are lovely too. Will definitely be coming back :)

U. V.

It's a lovely, friendly pub, and Kenny the cat is so cute. Paul and Gabby, the landlord and landlady, are really friendly and hospitable, and we had a good chat about football. Would happily go back again. It is on a hill, but I managed it with my walking stick.

J. W.

Amazing bar! Very friendly helpful staff. Loads of tv's and a proper pool table. Will definitely come here again

B. D.

Great place for watching football matches. I loved that they allow you to order or bring in food with you 👍🏻

T. A.

It’s a very nice place to spend time and good service, relaxing atmosphere.

T. K.

Nice local has pool darts nice outside garden

P. G.

Absolutely brilliant little pub, just reopened and the hosts Paul and Gabby were very friendly, had a Sussex Best from Harvey's Brewery. A visit is highly recommended.

A. R.

Good stuff. Great bloke behind the bar and lovely drinks. And fun customers.

C. J.

Really fun staff, great TVS and loved using the pool table and darts board. Met the new owners who have really done a good job with the place!

C. D.

Great pub, friendly staff. Good range of beers and a dart board for good measure.

D. B.

Great place to watch sport. Owners are lovely too - we had a great time and will definitely return when we’re next in Brighton.

T. S.

Really good pub for watching sport and a really friendly landlord and staff. We went to watch the rugby, which was on with the volume in one side of the pub, with silent screens of the footy alongside it. At the other end they had the volume on for the footy. Great selection of beers and good food

G. R.

A favourite for sports, but this pub has a lot more going for it. The drinks selection is okay with a couple of choices for real ale drinkers as well as the more usual lager and cider selections. Food is mostly pies, chips and sandwiches, all hot and tasty. The pub is very clean with very good women's toilets. There is also an upstairs room for comedy/theatre etc

S. B.

Amazing prices with brilliant staffing, landlord and great pub grub. Would recommend to anyone!

R. B.

Sort of my local, but not quite local if you see what I mean. I play league pool from here due to a lack of tables near to me. 2 pool teams, a number of darts teams, plenty of screens showing current sports events. Good food and friendly atmosphere. Real ales Harvey's, Doombar & Tribute. Recommended.

C. S.

Pukka pub. Friendly, can get busy when showing sport's.

Loved it! The long vodkas were exceptionally good supposedly the guy hadn't made them before but they were actually perfect. The chips and cheese were expertly made with cheese layered between the chips. Sometimes it's easy to get stuff wrong but this place gets all the important things 100% correct. We were walking about the area and couldn't give our money away! We were turned away from 3 different places because it was 4pm (2hrs before anywhere local would serve food) and the other pubs were unwelcoming and unhelpful by comparison to this place. Anyway the guy gave us a free snack to feed us til the kitchen opened. Very welcoming and helpful unlike the areas nearby (which I have to say didnt have anyone in them). The people in nearby bars made us feel as welcome as a fart in a space suit. We must have spent well over 100 quid in this place and had other people drinking shots etc. By making the sensible decision to give us a wee snack and be friendly and make drinks they have made life-long, well-paying customers. The folk at the bar could give lessons to the other local areas in how to serve customers and how to make newcomers feel welcome. Away and by far the best pub in the area. Other places may pretent they want customers with their pristine looking exteriors and advertising boards but once you get inside it's obvious the staff dont want to be there and dont want customers, the staff would rather have an easy, quiet day. Probably because it's not their business. This place wants customers, wants to serve people, wants to get the basics right and wants to make money. Which they did. Dont waste your time or money on the other places. Going elsewhere is stupid. This place is where you want to be if you're in the area.

s. b.

Great pub, pleasent staff, good selection.

H. B.

Free pool during the day. A fairly limited menu but it's all about the pie, and if you like pie, it's all good. The staff are great. The pub is relatively quiet until later on, a garden for smoking. A good old fashioned pub.

L. J.

This is a small local pub close to the station, very friendly staff

B. T.

Value for money beers and food friendly staff and the landlord is friendly...tge location is truly amazing as it is centralize around shops between city centre and North Lane

J. A.

In an age where we are losing some of the sense of community in everyday life, the Duke of Wellington is more than just a pub, it is a great community hub where people from different backgrounds and walks of life can come together and put the world to rights and let their hair down. I have used the pub for the past 20 years and although there have been some cosmetic changes to the pub during that time and a change of ownership, the Duke's great strength is that it has always stayed true to itself and has never had any pretensions to be something that it is not. If you are looking for a gastro-friendly, arthouse pub where parents can mingle over a frothy coffee in a sanitised atmosphere, then there are other places on the manor that will cater for your tastes. For people who want to go and have some drinks in a traditional backstreet pub, however, the Duke ticks all the boxes. It is a pub that reaches far beyond the sum of its parts. Although the Duke continues to cater for its traditional clientele by being a sports orientated pub with a number of screens, including one in its courtyard and also has a pool table, fruit machine and dartboard, it has also tried to cater for other customers in recent years, particularly as a result of its partnership with Sweet who now put on live comedy and cabaret shows throughout the year, not just during the Brighton Fringe Festival which work well in its intimate upstairs venue. In addition, although its food offering is restricted due to small kitchen space, it has started to offer a range of traditional pub grub comfort food options in recent years prepared by its resident cook, Dale. Its pie menu is extensive and I can vouch that the pies are very tasty. The courtyard is a really good space in the summertime where you can just chill out and watch time go by. Although the courtyard offers no particularly attractive views as it is bounded at the back by houses, it nonetheless is a good place to be on a summer's day. Once a month on the last Sunday of the month, the Duke runs a pub quiz which has grown in popularity in the last couple of years and tends to be a lively and enjoyable evening. As well as the main part of the quiz, there is also a Snowball competition that anyone in the pub can take part in. The pub also has a range of board games that people can play and has a newspaper rack where a range of the day's newspapers are available to read. If you are new to the pub and are going there for the first time and you happen to stumble in at a time when there is a live sporting event taking place on television or before a Brighton & Hove Albion match, I can understand how you might find that intimidating. However, my main advice would be to persevere because in truth the Duke is a really welcoming place that is free of aggro where you can make new friends in no time at all. The landlord Bertie and his wife Victoria and all the bar staff are all down to earth and friendly and the way the pub is laid out, it is almost akin to having a drink in your living room.

B. P.

Very nice and friendly pub

M. M.

Friendly enough little place with relaxed amosphere, but not very good selection of (craft) beers. They do have the standard pub beers, but if you like your beer there are lots of other options fairly close with better choices.

R. H.

Nice pub, lovely bar staff, really helpful and welcoming! ⭐

J. P.

Proper old school pub, plenty to choose from on either the taps or the bottles. Very friendly staff, outside smoking area in a small courtyard. Friendly locals who make you feel very welcome. Will be back again soon.

P. W.

An excellent place to watch live sports with several very bright screens and the volume turned high enough to hear the commentary and crowd noise. Very friendly staff and good beer.

J. M.

A great pub for watching sport and relaxing, courtesy of the pool table and darts board. Lots of screens so easy to get a view of the action. Also dog friendly!

D. A.

Very welcoming. Ideal for a quiet pint. Checked out the pool table n fairly new cloth. Thanks for a pleasant afternoon ed.

E. E.

(Translated) Atmospheric, quiet pub close to Brighton station. About 10 types of beer on tap. The nice thing about this pub is that you can watch sports here. We have been watching Formula 1 in Canada here. You can sit comfortably, there are beautiful screens and the lady behind the bar is friendly. (Original) Sfeervolle, rustige pub vlakbij het station van Brighton. Stuk of 10 biersoorten op de tap. Leuk van deze pub is dat je hier goed sport kunt kijken. Wij hebben hier de Formule 1 van Canada zitten kijken. Je kunt er lekker zitten, er hangen mooie schermen en de dame achter de bar is vriendelijk.
